alex higgins keep requesting reactions from more people too. Everytime there’s a new reaction there has to be atleast one unsuspecting innocent nonARMY that’s about to fall down the hole by seeing it imo 💜😎
First time watching fake love JHopes part: candy 😃😀 Army: 😭😭😭 Little backstory: BigHit MVs for BTS that have “BU Content” in their description, relate to the alternative universe. I won’t spoil everything on you bc it’s a reaction in itself if you decide to dive deeper. But i will give you JHopes since he’s ya boy. The AU characters are their real names so JHopes character is Jung Hoseok. He was abandoned by his mother when he was little at an amusement park, she told him to close his eyes and count and left him a candy bar and then disappeared. So the teaser shows the boys trading in their “fears” at the Magic Shop- Hoseok trades a candy bar. Hoseok suffers from Narcolepsy as well, and even goes in an out of hospital. So the candy bar relates to his fear (being left alone) and him falling and disappearing into the candy and relate to his narcolepsy which he medicated in order to control. Armys spent years trying to figure out the story lines, with many wrong conclusions. Lucky bighit teamed up with webtoons and put out a comic book series of the story line last February. If interested look it up the story is “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Save Me” on m.webtoons.com/en/drama/bts-save-me/list?title_no=1514
But honestly :D I am one of the ARMY trying to figure out what the storyline is about and the webtoon doesn't really explain to much. There are so many questions left open. Like what happened to Jimin or what is the meaning of the lamp Jin and JK are holding :D
@@TheChampOfMedium The thing is... When you start on the storyline of the Alternative universe there is no turning back 😂 The comic serializes the story of several MVs, if you read the comic you can then go watch the MVs in order and understand everything and be mindblown like all of us xD You start with HYYH (The most beautiful moment in life) that contains several MVs, then the Wings short films that give you a better idea of each character's struggle and the Highlight Reels that are another Alternative universe inside the alternative universe... I spent a few months figuring all out, oh and also: EVERYTHING HAS A CLUE, EVERYTHING THEY RELEASE HAS A CLUE OR A NOD TOWARDS THE STORYLINE. Good luck 😂
Oof if you’re surprised by the acting i can’t WAIT for you to watch the Run mv and I need u. acting for days my dude. (And also two of my favorite mvs 😭) theyre both connected by a storyline btw, id really recommend watching for the lyrics/sound and watching the mv itself separately, or watching twice ? Just because there’s a Lot To Take In. (And make sure to watch to the very end bc bighit likes throwing shit in at the last second that ruins our lives 🤷🏼♀️)
Also Same about watching reaction videos, when I first became an army it really helped to b able to watch and enjoy “”with”” other people. I still love doing it!!
Hi, just to share there is some degree of CGI but the essence & main portion is still realistic. :) ... for Suga's portion, there is the actual fire but it was actually smaller (as seen on the makings of the MV). They had to do post production/CGI to make the fire look much bigger (Well fire that size is probably too dangerous considering how close to the fire Suga & the crew are at, which I believe all ARMYs are ok with this CGI then to put BTS or the crew in danger.) :) ....
Fake Love is currently the Penultimate (second to last) video in the Music Video Releases that make up the Alternate Universe that runs through the storyline of Many of BTS called the Bangtan Universe. You are spot on for the meaning for the lyrics of Fake Love, ultimately any love that doesn't start with loving one's self is Fake Love. If one is willing to change themself for someone else, they must not love oneself. The Music Video is about being consumed by traumas that each of the *Characters* suffer from. The Character Jin is consumed by a cacophony of sound, the whispers of authority figures. The Character Namjoon is consumed by the image of who he think he wants to be. The Character Jimin is consumed by water, both he fear and desire to drown, and desire to wash himself of the stains that don't actually exist on his person. The Character Yoongi is Consumed by the fires that claimed the life of his mother and his childhood home, and the fire which he tried to take his own life, The Character Hoseok, is consumed by the images of his child, the amusement park and candy bar from when the character's mother abandoned him. The Character TaeYoung is consumed by the inability to contact anyone who he can care about, His phone turns to dust, and phones are ringing, but he has no way to answer them. The Character of Jungkook, can only watch as his hyung go through what they do and is unable to intervene, until he is ultimately left alone. Until the character can accept and deal with these traumas as part of themselves, they will never be able to love themselves, and therefore will not be able to truly love someone else. It will all be Fake Love. Ultimately your analysis at the end scene is also spot on, due to their traumas and inability to accept themselves, have put on masks to face each other and the rest of the world and are crushed. the first Album that The BU appears in is 花樣年華-화양연화-HwaYangYeonHwa "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life",(Chinese, Korean, Romanwha, English) which seems to fit the themes they are going for within the storyline and I hope what they ultimately try to capture, so for me it works as a title for the entire Universe. 1) I Need U Original version. th-cam.com/video/jjskoRh8GTE/w-d-xo.html 2) On Stage: Prologue th-cam.com/video/Bt8648TNX1M/w-d-xo.html 3) Run th-cam.com/video/wKysONrSmew/w-d-xo.html 4) Run Japanese Ver. th-cam.com/video/a16gTN7kOWU/w-d-xo.html 5) Epilogue: Young Forever th-cam.com/video/LbvE0FV_70U/w-d-xo.html 6) Wings Short FIlm #1 Begin th-cam.com/video/yR73I0z5ms0/w-d-xo.html 7) WIngs Short Film #2 Lie th-cam.com/video/_y8-HD5O69g/w-d-xo.html 8) WIngs Short Film #3 Stigma th-cam.com/video/3i34dFsjRY4/w-d-xo.html 9) WIngs Short Film #4 First Love th-cam.com/video/7VPcnJ9oJ-k/w-d-xo.html 10) WIngs Short Film #5 Reflection th-cam.com/video/wzxjM-82RW8/w-d-xo.html 11) WIngs Short Film #6 MAMA th-cam.com/video/wu82g0vyyTY/w-d-xo.html 12) WIngs Short Film #7 Awake th-cam.com/video/WYbrLlVelYk/w-d-xo.html 13) Blood Sweat & Tears th-cam.com/video/hmE9f-TEutc/w-d-xo.html 14) Blood Sweat & Tears Japanese Ver. th-cam.com/video/7OX7dIRReSA/w-d-xo.html 15) Love Yourself Highlight Reel '起'-qi "Intro" or Ki th-cam.com/video/Oqksx-xkSg8/w-d-xo.html 16) Love Yourself Highlight Reel '承'-sho "Development" th-cam.com/video/o75Y9XWLY9M/w-d-xo.html 17) Love Yourself Highlight Reel '轉'-ten "Twist" th-cam.com/video/Oj-zYDbw1Co/w-d-xo.html 18) Love Yourself Highlight Reel '起承轉結' -Kishotenketsu th-cam.com/video/EHdK5U2hf4o/w-d-xo.html 19) Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself Wonder th-cam.com/video/kX0vO4vlJuU/w-d-xo.html 20) Fake Love Official Teaser 1 th-cam.com/video/BP71K87Hp5Y/w-d-xo.html 21) Fake Love Extended Ver th-cam.com/video/D_6QmL6rExk/w-d-xo.html 22) Epiphany Comeback Trailer th-cam.com/video/fIkZOLsnoqY/w-d-xo.html The Lyrics and imagery contained within Spring Day, Singularity, Serendipity, DNA and the Boy Meets Evil Comeback Trailer, lead many to believe that there are allusions to the BU contained within those videos, even though they are not officially listed as BU Content. additionally Fake Loves contains imagery from DNA within its backgrounds (On the collapsing floor behind JK, and on the Floor within Jimin's trauma) There are also tiny glimpses of the Storyline tucked within Danger, but it is not officially BU content The Album notes within each of the Album Releases since 花樣年華1-화양연화1 contain diary entries (naturally in Korean) from the point of view of the characters.

fluffy death, can I have ur whole words of comment here? Coz’ I’m to lazy to typo it with my not inteligent brain hehe. I want to put it into my blog if you dont mind with it...if you not okay with it, I’m fine too hehe Your comment is exactly how I picture it into my mind 😉👍
@@EzzlinnAbuBakar You may do so. If you choose to credit me, the only appropriate to link is to my channel discussion where I keep the archive of various text blocks I drop when necessary th-cam.com/channels/WC15FPjZWD0WE8t05lm3-A.htmldiscussion
@@uvayakone9281 Boy Meets Evil is not labeled as official Bangtan Universe content, unlike all of the other videos in the main list. I can include it within the discussion section though.
Someone has probably told you this already: the Snickers represent the abandonment that plagues the character Hobi plays; his mother left him at a fairground with a chocolate bar as a treat, and never came back. The dancing is a clue to the "marionette" or doll-like representation of the song's main theme. If you see the 2018 Melon Music Awards, you will see a more pronounced version of it (they do 3 songs, FL, Airplane Pt 2 and Idol, all amazing live versions). You did great your hypotheses. BTS will do rock or guitar versions of their songs, either live or remixes. They do a rock remix with a live band on staGE of DNA at the 2017 KBS Song Festival. it's on YT, and a "Pedal to the LA" mix on the album (lyrics vid avail). The Fake Love version 2 is called the Rocking Vibe Remix. Rabbit, meet hole.
_"I'm wondering if they are all wearing masks because they are putting on their fake selves, because they are no longer.... and getting squashed."_ I laughed so hard at that
OMG! You got the meaning of the song at the first listen! 😱 Great job. ♥️ Btw, I know exactly how you feel about BTS. That’s what happened to me a few months ago when I first got into BTS by accident hahahhaha I was checking some Billie Eilish videos and Boy With Love just started playing. It was weird at first but I got addicted to the video. After that I couldn’t stop listening to the boys hahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahaaa I saw that as well, I saw your comment on that channel and I was gonna say something 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: when your boy comes on screen, it’s a rule that you have to say - “J - Hooooooooooooooooooooope” I didn’t make that up, Suga did Also, thank goodness, a person who gets the meaning of the lyrics immediately, and can see the choreography reflecting the lyrics When I listen to Fake Love it’s usually the rock version (because I’m normally a rock girl). I was excited when I first heard it because I wasn’t sure but it sounded like real guitars and drums
Have you heard DNA L.A Pedal Remix? And Spring Day Brit Rock Remix? They're really good! :D I like rock too, though, I like almost every genre of music. lol But yes, those guitar sounds and the drums going hard are awesome.
InSomniaArmyCheshire MooMooReveluvMeU Yes, I don’t normally listen to DNA, but I quite like the rock remix of it, I think it has a kind of retro late 80s/early 90s stadium rock feel to it. For Spring Day I dunno why but I prefer the normal version. I’ve been into BTS for almost almost 2 years now and every now and again when I actually hear guitars in their music I get really excited (sometimes I’m focused on everything else that I don’t hear in detail the music)
Great reaction, as usual... but this one is probably my favorite. Totally agree with your assessment of the two versions of the song. Since you asked, the reason you don't really understand the video is because this is later on in their MV storyline. The water in Jimin's scene, fire in Suga's, candy in j-hope's, etc., are all manifestations of their storyline characters' traumas. I hope you watch the whole storyline someday. I recently started getting into it (there's also a web comic...) and watching this MV now is so much more moving.
I completely understand watching others’ reactions hahaha. I feel like I have really gotten into watching people reacting to Chicken Noodle Soup as of late. IDK what it is but I am so interested to see how new songs are being received. Edit: Now that i’ve seen all 20 minutes and 19(?) seconds of your video i must say I love hearing your commentary as a musician on different musical aspects of BTS songs. 👏🏽
Fake love is hands down my favorite BTS music video, the visuals are just incredible. The fact that all of the MV is real, no CGI, just practical effects on set. I give these guys props!
You're not off at all! The song can be taken many different ways - Fake love between lovers, a child and parents, BTS and their fans, you and yourself, etc. I think you were spot on. 💜
Heyyy 💜 no need to explain, we have all fallen to that bts black hole 🤣 Again, great video, thank youuu! Maybe now the live mma 2018 performance Fake love and Idol 😍 Edit: You are on to it! Its about the mask that you put on to hide yourself when you dont love yourself. And then Idol is a realization "you cant stop me loving myself!" And some of the scenery connects with bts storyline that started in the song I need you, years ago and has confused army ever since 😂
I absolutely love your reactions! You really got a good grasp on the meaning of this individual song, but to understand the video more fully, there is a lot of previous media in the BTS storyline that you would have to watch in a certain order. Starting with the 19+ version of I Need U, Prologue, and Run. Then the WINGS Short films (one for each member) followed by each of their solos on the WINGS album. This whole album was inspired by the book Demian, including the title track, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears". The order of the Short films and Solos is: Jungkook- Begin, Jimin- Lie, V- Stigma, Suga- First Love, RM- Reflection, JHope- Mama, Jin- Awake. That should be a good start into the BTS universe. There is also a theory video by xCeleste explaining the whole storyline, but it makes much more sense if you have seen the other pieces first. Good luck not falling all the way into the hole! We're waiting for you at the bottom :D
Yea with BTS, you go down a rabbit hole. You can’t help it. Ones you go BTS, you never go back. If you look closer to the dancing, they did See no evil, Hear no evil, Say no evil hand movements.
Duuuude. U got a new subscriber. Love ur reactions. I appreciate that u watch the videos multiple times. Also really love that u can complement the boys’ looks without have to qualify that ur straight
I think fake love has a connection fire in suga's room , phone in tae's hand , snickers in jhope's scene the playground background and the water in jimin's chamber . Rm scene the bus visuals plus many more hints are there
Fake love is about exactly what you said and you were right about the meaning of the masks, but also there is a lot of symbolism from their storyline in this MV. Suga and fire, jimin and water, V and phones, RM and reflections, jhope and snickers, jin and the flower, jungkook watching his hyungs, it's all part of the BTS universe that starts in the I Need U MV. Btw i love how you hype and support jhope that much, it's exactly how i feel about Suga, my handsome, sensible and talented bias
I was I casual kpop fan but the ext.version made me fall into the BTS world but not many people react to it. FYI: You have to JHOOOOOOOOOOPE when he is on. Is the law.
The really interesting part of this video is that they did not use green screen effects, they were all actually happening. Makes it even better. Epic BTS video
Like others have said, this is one of the songs linked by the storyline in this era of BTS' music. But the beauty of BTS music is that the songs have their own secondary meanings that you can get into, even if you are unaware of the storyline. Fake Love is basically saying you can't truly love someone if you don't first love yourself; it's not love if you lose yourself in the other person to the point that you can't recognize who you are any more, that is fake love. And it shows various stages of depression/breakup agony - self destruction, drowning in sorrows (and candy), obsession with texts, pictures, social media, needing to be saved from all of it, letting yourself be burned by the flame. There is also the repeated image of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil - in the giant hand statue, the choreography, grabbing their ears, covering their mouths, etc.
BTS member solo song requests Jimin - Lie also live performance Jimin - Serendipity also live peformance Jungkook - Euphoria Jungkook - Begin V - Singularity RM - Joke RM - Do You J-Hope - Airplane Suga - Agust D Suga - The Last Jin - Epiphany
Oh also... This song fits in with the story line.... So you would have to watch the story line videos or maybe an explanation video to understand it. But all the things including the fire the water the snickers the cell phones and the extra stuff is part of that
exactly! that's how i spend my first year knowing BTS! i watched all their MV, blogs, dance practices, live performances, concerts, guestings, behind tge scenes and everything about BTS 24/7. i fell inlove and got obsessed with BTS instantly! then i started watching other people reacts to them and could really relate to most of their reactions and can't help but comment to share my own experience and opinion. yes, BTS choreography expresses the message and emotions of the song.
Yay I was waiting for this!! :) I think it would be cool if you watched the MV without the lyrics, only paying attention to the video and the music and then watched a color coded lyric video afterwards to read the lyrics and recognize their faces and voices :)
Yes the dance reflects really well the lyrics and the atmosphere of the song. It’s supposed to represent loss of control, like puppets on strings controlled by something above
You literally got everything the first time around....i cried the first time i watched this....especially when suga is smiling while everything is burning in front of him
Amazed by your hearing ability... Dang, you are right, at the end..there are 2 pairs sing at the same time, V-Jimin, then Jungkook-Jin. I stumbled on your video after watch other artist, and I get what you mean with 'passion' behind the song. The other artist sing with a cluster of electronic synth music. I'm not say it's bad, but it feels to me like they decided one good sound and repeated it all from beginning to the end. In BTS music, the music feels like the result of deep think a whole night long contemplating what sound is good, which instrument should be used, and so on. Kudos to you, having Fake Love on repeat to not missing any of it.
The rabbit hole is real, bro. Coming in from the 90's alternative era, my staple was Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Soundgarden... you get the picture. And then I heard Fake Love, the Rocking Vibe/Extended Version. That was the trapdoor through which I fell into that darned rabbit hole. The rest is history.
I know what u mean. I have been doing that going down the deep end watching people like yourself reacting. I have been into BTS for like 2 weeks and I cannot stop
Thank you for your thoughts and this reaction. I agree with the desperation of the "original" in their performance of the choreography but I really love the Rock Vibe version... :-) Others have commented on meaning and storyline, so I will just say THANK YOU!!! and just let go.... just fall down into the hole with the rest of us. LOL.... it is nice here.
You know you were talking about you hanging on the edge of that "rabbit hole"? Just drop on in with the rest of us dude! One very unique thing BTS has been doing for years is the Bangtan Universe (BU), like Marvel. You watch their mv's in a certain order and it is an entire saga. Yes, they are very good actors in their mvs. You described this song so well. Snickers didn't sponsor lol. In part of the BU, in JHopes story, his mother abandoned him at a carnival when he was little & left a snickers bar for him to eat. What they do with storytelling is truly amazing.
I really like the fact that you watched and listened to the music video multiple times, I feel like its necessary to really form an opinion. And the whole thing about falling into a rabbit hole, watching all the music videos and react videos, spot on. You are trapped in the k-pop hole now
Oh man, I’m still learning so much! I didn’t know there was an extended Version of Fake Love! I’ve only recently started to dive into BTS so I definitely have a long way to go! I’m still not sure who my bias is yet! They’re all so amazing! I can’t wait to see your next BTS reaction! Thank you!
😂😂I don’t know why, but they really do that to people! BTS is addictive!!! 💜 we can’t help but to love them!! Specifically when you start to go deeper into their lives as a group and how they are so mistreated and how they hold themselves together as a family, how hard they work to please their ARMY and they always shows that. Everything about them, just make us want to protect and love them 💜💜🫰🏻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Appreciate you pointing out all the little details you noticed in the instrumentation! I think you might like SINGULARITY, too. That one has a killer arrangement.
Fellow metal head that absolutely fell down the same rabbit hole! I think the fact that I'm watching your videos tells you all you need to know lol. I'd highly recommend RM and Suga's solo raps joke and Agust D. Also the danger dance practice is lit, suga described it as the hardest point of his career 😂😂 Also worth checking out bts nobodies to legends pt1 and 2, will help understand why bts and army are so supportive of each other 🤟
You feel it sad because Fake Love is a track of Love Yourself Tear.. Love Yourself is a 4 series album if you do not know, The first is “Love Yourself: Her” includes tracks like Serendipity ,DNA, Mic Drop and Go Go 2nd is “Love Yourself Wonder “ with Euphoria, Crystal Snow, Pied Piper,3rd Love Yourself Tear with Singularity, Fake Love, truth untold, Airplane pt 2, and the fourth Love Yourself Answers tracks included Epiphany, IDOL, Anpanman, I’m Fine .. Most of Comeback BTS always drops 1 into Teaser MV, 1 Intro song MV, 1 song MV and 2 comeback stage live performance of 2 songs from the new album..
I love watching reaction videos because I always want to see if people see what I see. I follow some TH-camrs you included to watch reactions. It’s like a justification that what I’m watching is real. Or it’s like watching with a friend. I especially like watching people who have a little bit of musical background to get their opinions on the videos. This was an awesome reaction!
this mv makes a lot more sense 1) if you watch the trailer for it as it has a prequel scene that is not in the video that shows the 'magic shop' idea the video is based on and 2) if you understand the imagery that comes from the story from earlier bts mvs that represents their characters' various traumas [water > jimin / fire > yoongi / candy(pills) > j-hope etc.]
Love your explaination on the lyrics and it's such a real life thing. The dance reminds me of a puppet being pulled by strings and I do believe that is deliberate.
Bts videos are a lot to take in at once. Music, lyrics, visuals. It’s nice that you put the thought into it. Welcome to the rabbit hole, just let go. 💜
To me personally when i watched the video, it screamed, toxic relationships, you will let it burn you, you will drown in it, the candy for me was the child in us all, we want to hide away with our hurt feelings and and find a key to get out of it, so time going back again to drown again, getting burned again until finally you put on your mask to cover your feelings and walk away for good, putting up your walls because even if you love them, you know it's toxic, i also feel that theme for singularity, outro tear, truth untold, seesaw, love yourself answer, epiphany, house of cards and so many more
Fun fact for you, this video is basically entirely practical effects. The fire, the water, the exploding room, the falling floor, and the block falling at the end of the extended version too! (The behind the scenes is really funny, the block startled Hoseok (J Hope) so bad)
the choreography for this song is one of their hardest as it takes both a lot of stamina and have theatrical contemporary side to it in the way the choreo suppose to express the song. if you watch their dance practice you notice there are a lot small complicated details - also if you wanna you can check in your free non reacting time - J-Hope was guest mentor to bunch of trainees in a competition (under 19), who had to do cover of FAKE LOVE, during that time he explains a bit of the steps representation to the song lyrics to them.
I love your channel and the way you react so unique! Specially when they got crashed at the end hahahaha PS: your wrecker has to be RM! I cant think of any other hahahaha, my bias is Jhope too 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I somehow never noticed the desperation in the movements but that is spot on. I always noticed the jerky movements but never put 2 and 2 together there.
1. Thank you for your Reaction! 2. Second time I’m posting below stuf to you; so not adding the opening I did prior,.... Welcome!

(After the credits if any) Tip: in I Need You (orig +19 ver) its about the relationship of the guys ie: Jungkookie & Suga (Yoongi) * Jimin & J~Hope (Hobi) * V (Taehyung) & RM (Joonie) * Jin plays a pivotal role.....

This MV is quite complex and has a lot to do with their storyline. I'm sure it has a lot of ways to be interrupted. The snickers actually has to do with the storyline. 💜💜💜💜
There is actually a storyline (known as BTS Universe) that begins during the HYYH pt.1 era (Most Beautiful Moment In Life part 1). Starting from there you can see a repeating theme in their music videos, and it gets sorta extended during the Wings era. To make it rly short (because i do suggest looking into theory videos since nobody rly knows whats going on LOL) Jin is a time-traveler and he needs to save the rest of their fate ultimately finding himself in a sort of loop. I think you'd be intrigued by the storyline, it would make much more sense to watch the videos in order (I need u > run > young forever > begin > lie > stigma > first love > reflection > mama > awake > blood sweat & tears > the highlight reels (love yourself theyre in order) > euphoria > fake love > epiphany > so on and so forth. there is A LOT in between all that so it could....take a while KSJDGKLSDJLK but its SUPER interesting
Theme of the video is that they are puppets or marionettes. One part has Jimin in the center waving his hand as if moving the guys showing he was controlling them. Also during the dance in the chorus they are doing various versions of the "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" gestures. I took the ending of the extended version to mean they were destroying the fake persona that they were showing because the song is declaring they are done with being a fake person. In order to become a new version of yourself you need to discard the old life and focus on building a new you, which is why this song leads into Idol.
don't worry....we've all faced that rabbit hole with BTS lol and I've watched plenty of people reacting to BTS too, it's definitely enjoyable and like you said, we can spend hours just doing that lol
Fake love was my firsf bts song...i didnt wanna here bts at first..i didnt know anything about k-pop back then..my cousin brother made me listen to fake love.i was like, " no play that song i dont wanna here fake love ".. Bt he played any way.. N then i said play it again..n from that moment everything has become history....bts has kinda become part of my life...reactions. Mvs song without MV.. Interviews. Theories..etc etc i watch everything.... 💜💜💜💜💜 bts
I love this. I noticed so much more about the video and the symbolism watching it with your commentary. Suggestion/request for the next one would be blood sweat and tears. It’s possibly my favourite song and definitely my favourite video. There’s just so much going on!
Thanks for doing both the versions!!! I feel like the first one somewhat trudges on the lines of Rap Rock and the second one is more Rock? I donno this is just based on the sound. They perform the Extended version on their live stages, especially during their Concerts. They have a live band - Ghost (I think) playing during concerts and let me tell you, it was just more awesome than the Original Sound. It sounds marvellous..... The thing is i feel like they suit this sound a lot than pop, but they don't have a sound although older fans would argue HYYH and wings era was their sound honestly, which I agree but then they experiment so much it's insane. I feel like this genre suits all their vocalists and helps them shine while also holding the rappers in a good light, but I could be wrong. They also have a song Spring day and that also has a rock version and I like both of them. BTS has MVs with the whole universe and storyline so it's okay if you mess up.. 👀 Thanks for the reaction!! Also noticed you have Hello B*tches by CL in background. YESSSSS. Would you mind checking out Stray kids Side effects and give your inputs on them? Also Stray kids are coming out with a Single tomorrow called Double knot and they've worked with producers under Fueled BY Ramen (OMG so excite)... The teaser seemed extremely promising, especially in their dance practice teaser. Please check them out too! Thanks once again! 💜
I'm having fun watching your journey from the beginning. You are funny, and I like your edits. 💜 J Hope and RM are my equal Bias'. I don't know if you noticed, but they were adding parts to numerous scenes from the beginning. I always recommend people to watch the #1 trailer and the extended version when they are going through the BU (Bangtan Universe) because this is part of it, but you won't get it if you haven't watched the BU content from the beginning. Thanks for the reactions. 💜
in the videos there is elemental theme : Jin is Earth (he has the sand where he grows the Legendary Smeraldo-flower) Jimin is Water Suga is Fire - don't give that boy matches! JK is Air - the flying petals signify it, because it is otherwise difficult to show. And last but the most important : Hobi is Snickers
Welcome to the rabbit hole, sadly there is no escape. It's not so bad. I've been in for years. Good luck. Also amazing the amount of feelings and emotions conveyed in less than 30 seconds with no words. Also I love your insight into this song.
Oh, yeah...you should also watch DNA and then listen to the ‘Pedal 2 LA’ version of DNA, because I would love to see your opinions on the guitar and drum differences!!!
I've got a wrecker... Can you guess who it is?
Namjoon/RM?
RM !
damn am I that obvious?
The Champ Of Medium probably 😂😂
@@TheChampOfMedium claimed by the 94 line:]
So he's thinking fake love is like a mini movie wait till u see "run" and "I need u"
Oh boy. Should we get him on the storyline and TXT and all the therories?
Yes! Please watch I Need U! The original 19+ version though!
What about Blood Sweat & tears?
@@dwalley9655 yeah true
@@34sillyband TXT's "Nap of a Star"...
He's not wrong 😂 I still watch reactions and I've been an army for years 😬 hahah
LOL i watch reactions eeevverrryyyy daaayyyy. Just enjoy it, bro. Enjoy it. 👍👍
alex higgins same...it’s fun
alex higgins keep requesting reactions from more people too. Everytime there’s a new reaction there has to be atleast one unsuspecting innocent nonARMY that’s about to fall down the hole by seeing it imo 💜😎
Me too. Lmao!
Same
First time watching fake love JHopes part: candy 😃😀
Army: 😭😭😭
Little backstory: BigHit MVs for BTS that have “BU Content” in their description, relate to the alternative universe. I won’t spoil everything on you bc it’s a reaction in itself if you decide to dive deeper. But i will give you JHopes since he’s ya boy. The AU characters are their real names so JHopes character is Jung Hoseok. He was abandoned by his mother when he was little at an amusement park, she told him to close his eyes and count and left him a candy bar and then disappeared. So the teaser shows the boys trading in their “fears” at the Magic Shop- Hoseok trades a candy bar. Hoseok suffers from Narcolepsy as well, and even goes in an out of hospital. So the candy bar relates to his fear (being left alone) and him falling and disappearing into the candy and relate to his narcolepsy which he medicated in order to control.
Armys spent years trying to figure out the story lines, with many wrong conclusions. Lucky bighit teamed up with webtoons and put out a comic book series of the story line last February. If interested look it up the story is “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Save Me” on m.webtoons.com/en/drama/bts-save-me/list?title_no=1514
Wah long explanation...👍
But honestly :D I am one of the ARMY trying to figure out what the storyline is about and the webtoon doesn't really explain to much. There are so many questions left open. Like what happened to Jimin or what is the meaning of the lamp Jin and JK are holding :D
but... that's so sad.
@@TheChampOfMedium The thing is... When you start on the storyline of the Alternative universe there is no turning back 😂 The comic serializes the story of several MVs, if you read the comic you can then go watch the MVs in order and understand everything and be mindblown like all of us xD
You start with HYYH (The most beautiful moment in life) that contains several MVs, then the Wings short films that give you a better idea of each character's struggle and the Highlight Reels that are another Alternative universe inside the alternative universe... I spent a few months figuring all out, oh and also: EVERYTHING HAS A CLUE, EVERYTHING THEY RELEASE HAS A CLUE OR A NOD TOWARDS THE STORYLINE. Good luck 😂
Linnéa Mai TRUE, that’s why “The Notes” in the albums have some explanations too. I hope they continue the webtoons soon 😭
“You can tell how handsome they are just from their shadows.” LMAO
Anyway I really like how you tried to get the meaning, thank you! 💜💜
Oof if you’re surprised by the acting i can’t WAIT for you to watch the Run mv and I need u. acting for days my dude. (And also two of my favorite mvs 😭) theyre both connected by a storyline btw, id really recommend watching for the lyrics/sound and watching the mv itself separately, or watching twice ? Just because there’s a Lot To Take In. (And make sure to watch to the very end bc bighit likes throwing shit in at the last second that ruins our lives 🤷🏼♀️)
Also Same about watching reaction videos, when I first became an army it really helped to b able to watch and enjoy “”with”” other people. I still love doing it!!
And spring day
Another interesting fact the floor dropping with Jungkook the fire with Suga and the water flooding the room with Jimin were not cgi.
Neither was the room exploding around Jin! :D
YES also I think it's worth watching the behind the scenes for this music video! It's so cool to see how it was made.
Hi, just to share there is some degree of CGI but the essence & main portion is still realistic. :) ... for Suga's portion, there is the actual fire but it was actually smaller (as seen on the makings of the MV). They had to do post production/CGI to make the fire look much bigger (Well fire that size is probably too dangerous considering how close to the fire Suga & the crew are at, which I believe all ARMYs are ok with this CGI then to put BTS or the crew in danger.) :) ....
@@gemgal68 True. If the fire was that big, it would endanger them, so they had to use a bit of CGI to make it appear much bigger.
Fake Love is currently the Penultimate (second to last) video in the Music Video Releases that make up the Alternate Universe that runs through the storyline of Many of BTS called the Bangtan Universe.
You are spot on for the meaning for the lyrics of Fake Love, ultimately any love that doesn't start with loving one's self is Fake Love. If one is willing to change themself for someone else, they must not love oneself. The Music Video is about being consumed by traumas that each of the *Characters* suffer from. The Character Jin is consumed by a cacophony of sound, the whispers of authority figures. The Character Namjoon is consumed by the image of who he think he wants to be. The Character Jimin is consumed by water, both he fear and desire to drown, and desire to wash himself of the stains that don't actually exist on his person. The Character Yoongi is Consumed by the fires that claimed the life of his mother and his childhood home, and the fire which he tried to take his own life, The Character Hoseok, is consumed by the images of his child, the amusement park and candy bar from when the character's mother abandoned him. The Character TaeYoung is consumed by the inability to contact anyone who he can care about, His phone turns to dust, and phones are ringing, but he has no way to answer them. The Character of Jungkook, can only watch as his hyung go through what they do and is unable to intervene, until he is ultimately left alone. Until the character can accept and deal with these traumas as part of themselves, they will never be able to love themselves, and therefore will not be able to truly love someone else. It will all be Fake Love. Ultimately your analysis at the end scene is also spot on, due to their traumas and inability to accept themselves, have put on masks to face each other and the rest of the world and are crushed.
the first Album that The BU appears in is 花樣年華-화양연화-HwaYangYeonHwa "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life",(Chinese, Korean, Romanwha, English) which seems to fit the themes they are going for within the storyline and I hope what they ultimately try to capture, so for me it works as a title for the entire Universe.

The Lyrics and imagery contained within Spring Day, Singularity, Serendipity, DNA and the Boy Meets Evil Comeback Trailer, lead many to believe that there are allusions to the BU contained within those videos, even though they are not officially listed as BU Content. additionally Fake Loves contains imagery from DNA within its backgrounds (On the collapsing floor behind JK, and on the Floor within Jimin's trauma)
There are also tiny glimpses of the Storyline tucked within Danger, but it is not officially BU content
The Album notes within each of the Album Releases since 花樣年華1-화양연화1 contain diary entries (naturally in Korean) from the point of view of the characters. Translations can be found with a web search. Bighit released a book "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Notes 1" This year. in English and Korean

fluffy death, can I have ur whole words of comment here? Coz’ I’m to lazy to typo it with my not inteligent brain hehe. I want to put it into my blog if you dont mind with it...if you not okay with it, I’m fine too hehe
Your comment is exactly how I picture it into my mind 😉👍
there should also be "Boy Meets Evil" MV trailer before Blood Sweat & Tears
@@EzzlinnAbuBakar You may do so. If you choose to credit me, the only appropriate to link is to my channel discussion where I keep the archive of various text blocks I drop when necessary th-cam.com/channels/WC15FPjZWD0WE8t05lm3-A.htmldiscussion
@@uvayakone9281 Boy Meets Evil is not labeled as official Bangtan Universe content, unlike all of the other videos in the main list. I can include it within the discussion section though.
fluffy death Yes, to credit the original words from author is a must. Don’t you worry about that ^_^v and thank you for letting me to have it 😁
Someone has probably told you this already: the Snickers represent the abandonment that plagues the character Hobi plays; his mother left him at a fairground with a chocolate bar as a treat, and never came back. The dancing is a clue to the "marionette" or doll-like representation of the song's main theme. If you see the 2018 Melon Music Awards, you will see a more pronounced version of it (they do 3 songs, FL, Airplane Pt 2 and Idol, all amazing live versions). You did great your hypotheses. BTS will do rock or guitar versions of their songs, either live or remixes. They do a rock remix with a live band on staGE of DNA at the 2017 KBS Song Festival. it's on YT, and a "Pedal to the LA" mix on the album (lyrics vid avail). The Fake Love version 2 is called the Rocking Vibe Remix. Rabbit, meet hole.
_"I'm wondering if they are all wearing masks because they are putting on their fake selves, because they are no longer.... and getting squashed."_ I laughed so hard at that
OMG! You got the meaning of the song at the first listen! 😱
Great job. ♥️
Btw, I know exactly how you feel about BTS. That’s what happened to me a few months ago when I first got into BTS by accident hahahhaha I was checking some Billie Eilish videos and Boy With Love just started playing. It was weird at first but I got addicted to the video. After that I couldn’t stop listening to the boys hahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahaaa I saw that as well, I saw your comment on that channel and I was gonna say something 😂😂😂😂😂
Edit: when your boy comes on screen, it’s a rule that you have to say -
“J - Hooooooooooooooooooooope”
I didn’t make that up, Suga did
Also, thank goodness, a person who gets the meaning of the lyrics immediately, and can see the choreography reflecting the lyrics
When I listen to Fake Love it’s usually the rock version (because I’m normally a rock girl). I was excited when I first heard it because I wasn’t sure but it sounded like real guitars and drums
Suga shouting JHope... I’m not kidding
th-cam.com/video/RR8AVP55AO0/w-d-xo.html
Edit: your reaction was worth staying up for
Have you heard DNA L.A Pedal Remix? And Spring Day Brit Rock Remix? They're really good! :D I like rock too, though, I like almost every genre of music. lol But yes, those guitar sounds and the drums going hard are awesome.
InSomniaArmyCheshire MooMooReveluvMeU
Yes, I don’t normally listen to DNA, but I quite like the rock remix of it, I think it has a kind of retro late 80s/early 90s stadium rock feel to it. For Spring Day I dunno why but I prefer the normal version. I’ve been into BTS for almost almost 2 years now and every now and again when I actually hear guitars in their music I get really excited (sometimes I’m focused on everything else that I don’t hear in detail the music)
Great reaction, as usual... but this one is probably my favorite. Totally agree with your assessment of the two versions of the song. Since you asked, the reason you don't really understand the video is because this is later on in their MV storyline. The water in Jimin's scene, fire in Suga's, candy in j-hope's, etc., are all manifestations of their storyline characters' traumas. I hope you watch the whole storyline someday. I recently started getting into it (there's also a web comic...) and watching this MV now is so much more moving.
I completely understand watching others’ reactions hahaha. I feel like I have really gotten into watching people reacting to Chicken Noodle Soup as of late. IDK what it is but I am so interested to see how new songs are being received.
Edit: Now that i’ve seen all 20 minutes and 19(?) seconds of your video i must say I love hearing your commentary as a musician on different musical aspects of BTS songs. 👏🏽
Go down the rabbit hole dude, just let it happen 🍻It's nice
You might like the 19+/longer version of I Need U - it's not what it sounds like, lol.
💜
You should check out Blood Sweat and Tears it is also like a mini movie.
V (Taehyung) has actually acted in a historical drama and they do a lot more acting in their Mv’s that are connected to their storyline.
Fake love is hands down my favorite BTS music video, the visuals are just incredible. The fact that all of the MV is real, no CGI, just practical effects on set. I give these guys props!
17:27 “and getting squished......the fuck” dude i love you so much
You're not off at all! The song can be taken many different ways - Fake love between lovers, a child and parents, BTS and their fans, you and yourself, etc. I think you were spot on. 💜
Heyyy 💜 no need to explain, we have all fallen to that bts black hole 🤣 Again, great video, thank youuu! Maybe now the live mma 2018 performance Fake love and Idol 😍
Edit: You are on to it! Its about the mask that you put on to hide yourself when you dont love yourself. And then Idol is a realization "you cant stop me loving myself!" And some of the scenery connects with bts storyline that started in the song I need you, years ago and has confused army ever since 😂
I absolutely love your reactions! You really got a good grasp on the meaning of this individual song, but to understand the video more fully, there is a lot of previous media in the BTS storyline that you would have to watch in a certain order. Starting with the 19+ version of I Need U, Prologue, and Run. Then the WINGS Short films (one for each member) followed by each of their solos on the WINGS album. This whole album was inspired by the book Demian, including the title track, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears". The order of the Short films and Solos is: Jungkook- Begin, Jimin- Lie, V- Stigma, Suga- First Love, RM- Reflection, JHope- Mama, Jin- Awake. That should be a good start into the BTS universe. There is also a theory video by xCeleste explaining the whole storyline, but it makes much more sense if you have seen the other pieces first. Good luck not falling all the way into the hole! We're waiting for you at the bottom :D
Yea with BTS, you go down a rabbit hole. You can’t help it. Ones you go BTS, you never go back. If you look closer to the dancing, they did See no evil, Hear no evil, Say no evil hand movements.
Just let go! The hole will embrace you! And it’s ok to scream jhooooopppppeee! It’s a thing 🤣💯💜🙆🏽♀️
Man i love you for loving jhope. He's often overlooked bt he is so damn versatile. Thanks for appreciating him.💜
Just found your channel, glad you are drawn to RM and my bias JHope!
Duuuude. U got a new subscriber. Love ur reactions. I appreciate that u watch the videos multiple times. Also really love that u can complement the boys’ looks without have to qualify that ur straight
*this is apart of a way bigger storyline Starting With : *I NEED U ORIGINAL VERSION*
I think fake love has a connection fire in suga's room , phone in tae's hand , snickers in jhope's scene the playground background and the water in jimin's chamber . Rm scene the bus visuals plus many more hints are there
Lol when i got into bts i couldnt stop watching people being shook by their videos 😂
Fake love is about exactly what you said and you were right about the meaning of the masks, but also there is a lot of symbolism from their storyline in this MV. Suga and fire, jimin and water, V and phones, RM and reflections, jhope and snickers, jin and the flower, jungkook watching his hyungs, it's all part of the BTS universe that starts in the I Need U MV.
Btw i love how you hype and support jhope that much, it's exactly how i feel about Suga, my handsome, sensible and talented bias
I was I casual kpop fan but the ext.version made me fall into the BTS world but not many people react to it.
FYI: You have to JHOOOOOOOOOOPE when he is on. Is the law.
There's so much I wanna comment!! Ahhhh!! I think this is my favorite reaction you did! Really loved it!
The really interesting part of this video is that they did not use green screen effects, they were all actually happening. Makes it even better. Epic BTS video
Like others have said, this is one of the songs linked by the storyline in this era of BTS' music. But the beauty of BTS music is that the songs have their own secondary meanings that you can get into, even if you are unaware of the storyline. Fake Love is basically saying you can't truly love someone if you don't first love yourself; it's not love if you lose yourself in the other person to the point that you can't recognize who you are any more, that is fake love. And it shows various stages of depression/breakup agony - self destruction, drowning in sorrows (and candy), obsession with texts, pictures, social media, needing to be saved from all of it, letting yourself be burned by the flame. There is also the repeated image of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil - in the giant hand statue, the choreography, grabbing their ears, covering their mouths, etc.

Jimin - Serendipity also live peformance

RM - Do You

Jin - Epiphany
Oh also... This song fits in with the story line.... So you would have to watch the story line videos or maybe an explanation video to understand it. But all the things including the fire the water the snickers the cell phones and the extra stuff is part of that
exactly! that's how i spend my first year knowing BTS! i watched all their MV, blogs, dance practices, live performances, concerts, guestings, behind tge scenes and everything about BTS 24/7. i fell inlove and got obsessed with BTS instantly! then i started watching other people reacts to them and could really relate to most of their reactions and can't help but comment to share my own experience and opinion.
yes, BTS choreography expresses the message and emotions of the song.
"I grew a flower that can't be bloomed in a dream that can't come true"
My fav verse... It hits me in the feels every time
I LOVE watching people react to BTS. It’s great to see people to get to know them.
💜💜💜💜
Yes on the reaction video thing and watching all of their MVs in one night... I mean day.
Got here asap🔥👌🏼 love your reactions
Yay I was waiting for this!! :) I think it would be cool if you watched the MV without the lyrics, only paying attention to the video and the music and then watched a color coded lyric video afterwards to read the lyrics and recognize their faces and voices :)
Maybe I'll do that for the next BTS reaction.
Yes the dance reflects really well the lyrics and the atmosphere of the song.
It’s supposed to represent loss of control, like puppets on strings controlled by something above
You literally got everything the first time around....i cried the first time i watched this....especially when suga is smiling while everything is burning in front of him
Watch more of their stage performances. Live vocals are fire and the dance breaks are amazing.
I came for the BTS reaction but hearing Hello Bitches made my whole day :)
Amazed by your hearing ability... Dang, you are right, at the end..there are 2 pairs sing at the same time, V-Jimin, then Jungkook-Jin. I stumbled on your video after watch other artist, and I get what you mean with 'passion' behind the song. The other artist sing with a cluster of electronic synth music. I'm not say it's bad, but it feels to me like they decided one good sound and repeated it all from beginning to the end. In BTS music, the music feels like the result of deep think a whole night long contemplating what sound is good, which instrument should be used, and so on. Kudos to you, having Fake Love on repeat to not missing any of it.
At 8:23 Yes its Jungkook and V. You got it right.
Wow that's exactly what I did . I watched every piece of content they have and now I love watching reactions .
Ps. LOVE THE EDITS LMAOOOOO
I think it's too late for you... (You're already down the rabbit hole)
Also I'm grateful for professional ppl like u doing reactions it helps me a lot understanding what my boys actually doing
The rabbit hole is real, bro. Coming in from the 90's alternative era, my staple was Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Soundgarden... you get the picture. And then I heard Fake Love, the Rocking Vibe/Extended Version. That was the trapdoor through which I fell into that darned rabbit hole. The rest is history.
You are absolutely right on your understanding of wearing mask
Now we're really getting into the narratives here. hell yeah! Wait til you see Run and I Need U.
I know what u mean. I have been doing that going down the deep end watching people like yourself reacting. I have been into BTS for like 2 weeks and I cannot stop
Thank you for your thoughts and this reaction. I agree with the desperation of the "original" in their performance of the choreography but I really love the Rock Vibe version... :-)
Others have commented on meaning and storyline, so I will just say THANK YOU!!! and just let go.... just fall down into the hole with the rest of us. LOL.... it is nice here.
You know you were talking about you hanging on the edge of that "rabbit hole"? Just drop on in with the rest of us dude! One very unique thing BTS has been doing for years is the Bangtan Universe (BU), like Marvel. You watch their mv's in a certain order and it is an entire saga. Yes, they are very good actors in their mvs. You described this song so well.
Snickers didn't sponsor lol. In part of the BU, in JHopes story, his mother abandoned him at a carnival when he was little & left a snickers bar for him to eat. What they do with storytelling is truly amazing.
I really like the fact that you watched and listened to the music video multiple times, I feel like its necessary to really form an opinion. And the whole thing about falling into a rabbit hole, watching all the music videos and react videos, spot on. You are trapped in the k-pop hole now
Oh man, I’m still learning so much! I didn’t know there was an extended Version of Fake Love! I’ve only recently started to dive into BTS so I definitely have a long way to go! I’m still not sure who my bias is yet! They’re all so amazing! I can’t wait to see your next BTS reaction! Thank you!
😂😂I don’t know why, but they really do that to people! BTS is addictive!!! 💜 we can’t help but to love them!! Specifically when you start to go deeper into their lives as a group and how they are so mistreated and how they hold themselves together as a family, how hard they work to please their ARMY and they always shows that. Everything about them, just make us want to protect and love them 💜💜🫰🏻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great video! FAKE LOVE and Euphoria got me into BTS!
There’s so much content from BTS, just jump in the hole and enjoy it.
Appreciate you pointing out all the little details you noticed in the instrumentation! I think you might like SINGULARITY, too. That one has a killer arrangement.
Fellow metal head that absolutely fell down the same rabbit hole! I think the fact that I'm watching your videos tells you all you need to know lol.
I'd highly recommend RM and Suga's solo raps joke and Agust D. Also the danger dance practice is lit, suga described it as the hardest point of his career 😂😂
Also worth checking out bts nobodies to legends pt1 and 2, will help understand why bts and army are so supportive of each other 🤟
You feel it sad because Fake Love is a track of Love Yourself Tear..
Love Yourself is a 4 series album if you do not know,
The first is “Love Yourself: Her” includes tracks like Serendipity ,DNA, Mic Drop and Go Go
2nd is “Love Yourself Wonder “ with Euphoria, Crystal Snow, Pied Piper,3rd Love Yourself Tear with Singularity, Fake Love, truth untold, Airplane pt 2, and the fourth Love Yourself Answers tracks included Epiphany, IDOL, Anpanman, I’m Fine ..
Most of Comeback BTS always drops 1 into Teaser MV, 1 Intro song MV, 1 song MV and 2 comeback stage live performance of 2 songs from the new album..
The comment you made about the passion, I agree that in this song you can feel the passion they put into it. This is my favorite song! 💜
I love your thoughts on how the choreography matches perfectly with the theme of the song. It does feel desperate.
It is addicting watching BTS videos because they are so talented dancing and singing!!!!!
I love watching reaction videos because I always want to see if people see what I see. I follow some TH-camrs you included to watch reactions. It’s like a justification that what I’m watching is real. Or it’s like watching with a friend. I especially like watching people who have a little bit of musical background to get their opinions on the videos.
This was an awesome reaction!
this mv makes a lot more sense 1) if you watch the trailer for it as it has a prequel scene that is not in the video that shows the 'magic shop' idea the video is based on and 2) if you understand the imagery that comes from the story from earlier bts mvs that represents their characters' various traumas [water > jimin / fire > yoongi / candy(pills) > j-hope etc.]
You're definitely right. The drums and guitars used in the extended version are real/live.
Yeahhhh I think everyone’s experienced this rabbit hole you’re speaking of. True facts. Just let it happen. One of us! One of us!
Love your explaination on the lyrics and it's such a real life thing. The dance reminds me of a puppet being pulled by strings and I do believe that is deliberate.
Bts videos are a lot to take in at once. Music, lyrics, visuals.
It’s nice that you put the thought into it.
Welcome to the rabbit hole, just let go. 💜
To me personally when i watched the video, it screamed, toxic relationships, you will let it burn you, you will drown in it, the candy for me was the child in us all, we want to hide away with our hurt feelings and and find a key to get out of it, so time going back again to drown again, getting burned again until finally you put on your mask to cover your feelings and walk away for good, putting up your walls because even if you love them, you know it's toxic, i also feel that theme for singularity, outro tear, truth untold, seesaw, love yourself answer, epiphany, house of cards
and so many more
Fun fact for you, this video is basically entirely practical effects. The fire, the water, the exploding room, the falling floor, and the block falling at the end of the extended version too! (The behind the scenes is really funny, the block startled Hoseok (J Hope) so bad)
the choreography for this song is one of their hardest as it takes both a lot of stamina and have theatrical contemporary side to it in the way the choreo suppose to express the song.
if you watch their dance practice you notice there are a lot small complicated details - also if you wanna you can check in your free non reacting time - J-Hope was guest mentor to bunch of trainees in a competition (under 19), who had to do cover of FAKE LOVE, during that time he explains a bit of the steps representation to the song lyrics to them.
I understand about the reactions, happened to me too. That's why I'm here at your channel. Two years and I STILL want to see BTS reactions.
So true! I binged on reactions the first time I watched this video!
it's been 6 months and I'm still here lol
Midway watching. Enjoying everything.
I love your channel and the way you react so unique! Specially when they got crashed at the end hahahaha
PS: your wrecker has to be RM! I cant think of any other hahahaha, my bias is Jhope too 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I somehow never noticed the desperation in the movements but that is spot on. I always noticed the jerky movements but never put 2 and 2 together there.
Yes this is the song that made me fall completely in love with BTS💜

2. Second time I’m posting below stuf to you; so not adding the opening I did prior,....
Welcome! After watching the introduction videos suggested by other replies here...
When you’re ready to Dive in,....
The marvelous BTS Universe fictional storyline runs through many songs and a few albums. (and may not be finished yet) All songs make better sense After going through the songs with an open mind. Note that none of the songs is “about a girl" and remember to watch til the End in each one. (After the credits if any) Tip: in I Need You (orig +19 ver) its about the relationship of the guys ie: Jungkookie & Suga (Yoongi) * Jimin & J~Hope (Hobi) * V (Taehyung) & RM (Joonie) * Jin plays a pivotal role.....

Enjoy the ride! ☺️😎:)🍿
This MV is quite complex and has a lot to do with their storyline. I'm sure it has a lot of ways to be interrupted. The snickers actually has to do with the storyline. 💜💜💜💜
it’s a good rabbit hole to fall into. join the rest of us down here. you won’t be alone 🤣 subbed! keep the bts contents coming !
There is actually a storyline (known as BTS Universe) that begins during the HYYH pt.1 era (Most Beautiful Moment In Life part 1). Starting from there you can see a repeating theme in their music videos, and it gets sorta extended during the Wings era. To make it rly short (because i do suggest looking into theory videos since nobody rly knows whats going on LOL) Jin is a time-traveler and he needs to save the rest of their fate ultimately finding himself in a sort of loop.
I think you'd be intrigued by the storyline, it would make much more sense to watch the videos in order (I need u > run > young forever > begin > lie > stigma > first love > reflection > mama > awake > blood sweat & tears > the highlight reels (love yourself theyre in order) > euphoria > fake love > epiphany > so on and so forth.
there is A LOT in between all that so it could....take a while KSJDGKLSDJLK but its SUPER interesting
Theme of the video is that they are puppets or marionettes. One part has Jimin in the center waving his hand as if moving the guys showing he was controlling them. Also during the dance in the chorus they are doing various versions of the "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" gestures. I took the ending of the extended version to mean they were destroying the fake persona that they were showing because the song is declaring they are done with being a fake person. In order to become a new version of yourself you need to discard the old life and focus on building a new you, which is why this song leads into Idol.
don't worry....we've all faced that rabbit hole with BTS lol and I've watched plenty of people reacting to BTS too, it's definitely enjoyable and like you said, we can spend hours just doing that lol
Fake love was my firsf bts song...i didnt wanna here bts at first..i didnt know anything about k-pop back then..my cousin brother made me listen to fake love.i was like, " no play that song i dont wanna here fake love ".. Bt he played any way.. N then i said play it again..n from that moment everything has become history....bts has kinda become part of my life...reactions. Mvs song without MV.. Interviews. Theories..etc etc i watch everything.... 💜💜💜💜💜 bts
I love this. I noticed so much more about the video and the symbolism watching it with your commentary.
Suggestion/request for the next one would be blood sweat and tears. It’s possibly my favourite song and definitely my favourite video. There’s just so much going on!
Oh thanks for the ext version! We don't get this one very often
I've been looking forward to him doing the extended version since day 1 of his very first BTS reaction 👏👏👏👏😍💜
Thanks for doing both the versions!!! I feel like the first one somewhat trudges on the lines of Rap Rock and the second one is more Rock? I donno this is just based on the sound. They perform the Extended version on their live stages, especially during their Concerts. They have a live band - Ghost (I think) playing during concerts and let me tell you, it was just more awesome than the Original Sound. It sounds marvellous.....
The thing is i feel like they suit this sound a lot than pop, but they don't have a sound although older fans would argue HYYH and wings era was their sound honestly, which I agree but then they experiment so much it's insane. I feel like this genre suits all their vocalists and helps them shine while also holding the rappers in a good light, but I could be wrong.
They also have a song Spring day and that also has a rock version and I like both of them.
BTS has MVs with the whole universe and storyline so it's okay if you mess up.. 👀
Thanks for the reaction!!
Also noticed you have Hello B*tches by CL in background. YESSSSS.
Would you mind checking out Stray kids Side effects and give your inputs on them? Also Stray kids are coming out with a Single tomorrow called Double knot and they've worked with producers under Fueled BY Ramen (OMG so excite)... The teaser seemed extremely promising, especially in their dance practice teaser. Please check them out too! Thanks once again! 💜
I'm having fun watching your journey from the beginning. You are funny, and I like your edits. 💜 J Hope and RM are my equal Bias'. I don't know if you noticed, but they were adding parts to numerous scenes from the beginning. I always recommend people to watch the #1 trailer and the extended version when they are going through the BU (Bangtan Universe) because this is part of it, but you won't get it if you haven't watched the BU content from the beginning. Thanks for the reactions. 💜
There's a reason we call it falling down the kpop hole. I fell in April and now can't even see the way out... :)
in the videos there is elemental theme :
Jin is Earth (he has the sand where he grows the Legendary Smeraldo-flower)
Jimin is Water
Suga is Fire - don't give that boy matches!
JK is Air - the flying petals signify it, because it is otherwise difficult to show.
And last but the most important :
Hobi is Snickers
Welcome to the rabbit hole, sadly there is no escape. It's not so bad. I've been in for years. Good luck. Also amazing the amount of feelings and emotions conveyed in less than 30 seconds with no words. Also I love your insight into this song.
Oh, yeah...you should also watch DNA and then listen to the ‘Pedal 2 LA’ version of DNA, because I would love to see your opinions on the guitar and drum differences!!!
