So, the reason the imagery in Spring Day couldn't be straightforward is because if it had been absolutely, 100% clear that the visuals of the music video were a tribute to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, then BTS would have faced serious consequences with the Korean government/Korean president at that time. Even with only subtle hints, this music video (and another song of theirs, 'Am I Wrong') got BTS on a blacklist of artists that the government was hoping to censor or arrest (the list was found after the impeachment of the Korean president when the court was collecting evidence). It was only after that president and her cabinet had been removed that BTS could reveal that the imagery in the music video was definitely referencing Sewol. The lyrics, however, aren't directly related to the tragedy (Namjoon and Yoongi have said as much), but can be easily applied as it is a song about the feelings of missing someone/something, grief, longing, etc.
yes i watch that documentary about seoul ferry tragedy and the korean president , and everybody was not allowed to talk about the it. But when that president got impeached thats just the time Rm freely talked about spring day is their tribute for that tragedy.
About the tribute evidence being subtle. It's because that tragedy was the government's negligence being criminal. The pilot abandoned the raft carrying teenagers from a school when the raft was sinking they were forbidden to leave and even with the cry for help, the help took a while and they broke the news that everyone was fine. But 80% died, mostly teenagers. In Korea it is mandatory to obey the elders so that they obey. Volunteers looking for the bodies and the government didn't seem to care too much. did very little There were many protests against the government, the pilot who abandoned the ferry, the wrong information even knowing the gravity If I'm not mistaken, the presidency was deposed. And then the Korean government banned any act that was explicit about the tragedy and the demonstration. BTs don't speak openly, but RM makes it understood by saying he leaves it to our interpretation. So it cannot be explicit. But if you like, I can show you proof of the homage and a silent manifesto in metaphors.
Yes, Spring Day is indeed still charting on Melon, and it has been since it came out in 2017. It's the longest charting song in the chart's history! :) "Not Today" is a really special song for me, because I got into BTS when I was at the lowest point in my life and I'm not exaggerating when I say that for a while playing that song on loop is what kept me going. To this day, it's still my favorite BTS title track.
Spring Day is like the national anthem in Korea. Every young and old Koreans know of Spring Day and respect to BTS (RM ESPECIALLY) for the genius Songwriting
your reaction at 4:36 for Tae's voice really represent me back in 2017! I started becoming an army after watching DNA MV and was sooo shocked by his voice. I was just not expecting him to sound that deep if that make sense? Life-changing-- literally lol. Also, a little fun fact, Spring Day spends its 287th week inside the Melon Weekly Chart at #85 today! Queen Spring Day, as we call it within the fandom, is a dear song for a lot of people 💜
Agreed! First song I actually heard/listened to by BTS was 4 o’clock with V and RM…I felt like I had just been wrapped into the coziest blanket just listening to their deep voices, especially V’s. I genuinely hope Singularity and Stigma are one his list to react or at least listen to because I truly think he will appreciate the soulfulness of Kim Taehyung’s voice.
Thank you RJ for playing Not Today. I forgot how significant this song can be in the life of a 66 year old discovering self for the first time. As always, I love 💜watching your surprise as you become ARMY. As you can see, we 💕 these guys.
I was like I wonder if he’s gonna freak out over the same part I did in DNA … and you did lmao V looked and sounded too crazy in that part. In the best way
someone probably already mentioned it but there is a Mic Drop original version on their album! It’s all in korean. personally i love it more even though both versions are epic 😂
Yess! BTS lyrics mean so much to so many of us. I can genuinely say some of their songs changed my perspective on how I live my life and how I see things, and that’s not at all what I was looking for when I got into BTS a few years ago. The title tracks are not any different, but seriously the magic is in the B sides and the members’ solo work in my opinion. Some of my faves that really mean a lot to me- LY Tear album: Paradise, Magic Shop (but the whole album is so special) Persona album: Mikrokosmos The most beautiful moment in life pt 1 album: Moving On Solos- Agust D: So Far Away Agust D, D2 album: People Jimin: Promise Mono: forever rain Jin: Abyss (This is not an exhaustive list bc I think their whole discography is so so special and the members’ solo works are so great and unique to them)
For Spring Day, please watch the Explained by an Italian Army. For Idol, use DKDKTV's interpretation, as he goes over a lot of Korean symbolism. Glad you enjoyed all of these; they're some of my favorites (but I have a Long list of BTS favorites...lol).
For what I understand, BTS could not create a song relating facts over what happened to the tragedy since when some artists did, they were arrested. So RM and Suga create a song in which a person who lost someone dear, can relate. Until this day, the boys still claim that they didn't write this song in honour of the tragedy but when you see the video made by the italian army (see the comment of @Becca L. for the link), you can not deny it that they did it for that day ...
Another trophy! Too many that I can’t even count them! I love Mic Drop and every time someone doubts my skills as a designer, I start pulling awards and kudos and this song plays as I walk away. I did not know the back story of Spring Day as I am new to KPop so I will be looking for more information as well. DNA visuals, vocals and lyrics are just the bee’s knees! I literally have that and Home as the only “favorited” BTS songs on my playlist because I love them so much. And Not Today… you are so right. If that song doesn’t motivate you to get things going and not be swayed in your conviction, I don’t know what would get you motivated and yes… it’s on my exercise playlist. 👍🏽 thanks for sharing
You are right about Spring Day, the song started with RM and was written about his and Suga's friends they lost / grew apart from in the past. So the general theme of it is about loss and longing but it fits well with the MV which was subtly done as dedication to the Sewol tragedy. The MV isn't a clear depiction because it was a highly political issue.
I can't wait to see you react to the other MVs, honestly, they haven't had a single bad MV. And fyi, Spring Day is referenced A TON in Yet to Come, which was just released.
Really enjoying your BTS reactions. Thank you and keep them coming plz. As for the explanation videos hope to see your reaction to them soon. If you're looking for another motivation songs there's 'Tomorrow' and SUGA's intro song 'Nevermind' there's a translated live performances since they're side tracks. Have a great time!
for spring day they cant be direct because at the time people were being blacklisted by the government for even supporting the victims families so a video calling out the horrific incident would definitely be blacklisted or censored. the explanation video by Italian army is very helpful in breaking down the imagery and she even met with the victims families who said they felt the song was for them and their kids. many koreans felt it was and pdogg one of bts producers as well as jin did some what confirm it ina recent interview. even though the former president was impeached many people who were in government at that time still are so its still not safe to directly say it plus with thenew president being a mess korea has it really difficult right now. bts also made a song called am i wrong in the album before this and it called out a government official directly so the government was already looking at them with eyebrows raised so they decided to be more discreet with spring day. it was revealed 1000s of artists were on blacklists before the president was impeached bts couldve been on the lists had the president not been impeached.
Hi - thanks for reacting to BTS. Frankly, I really don't mind when reactors need to pause the video to say something, but I also like it when they simply watch and listen while their jaw drops and they realise that BTS was indeed *not* what they expected, and that they need to re-watch to take it all in. I appreciate your respect, sir. Thank you. It is indeed very hard to describe BTS to a Western audience, because there are no valid comparisons to make. You hve to experience them. Then you begin to know.
Yes, "spring day" song and video is full of symbolism (if you re interested please watch the referred video)! And yes this song is very very important to korean people and ARMY also ! Yes,they went subtle in this!"Gentlemantic " in the best format!They wrote it from the perspective of the emotions from the one's left behind. Leaving behind the political injustice and corruption of this tragedy ,they just expressed the real ,human outcome. The feelings of the families, bothers sisters,friends that they have to cope with the lost of their loved ones. How to understand and cope that forcefully got to try to acknowledge that they will never meet them again .The stress,agony,rage and heartbreak(the aftermath) .The pure feelings of the outcome. That is what makes this song so important.Everyone around the world also can relate, everyone that lost someone sudden ,unjustified,even beyond their control(like fade away,drift apart or lose contact).Legendary!I'm an Army for so long and still "spring day" holds a unique spot in my heart (and I believe to a lot of us too)!
Glad you're enjoying your BTS journey. It can be overwhelming, the lyrics, the visuals, the music, the production, which member is who (you know KPOP, the hair color keeps changing). After a bit, you'll be able to differentiate not just their singing voice, but their speaking voice, their laugh. ARMY are nitty gritty and can differentiate their lips, their eyes, their fingers, their walking gait, their stance. I mean, Jin's shoulder's and SUGA's gummy smile...
DNA is about the first perfect love and the beginning of a storyline. The first album describes that from the first meeting to the question if something is wrong. In the next album the relationship tears apart: we were not honest about who we were and hurting because of it. The Answer is on the third (compilation) album of the Love Yourself series: "Epiphany": we have to love out imperfect selves first before we can love others in a healthy way. There is an original MicDrop that is only a little different in sound and has less English (and no MV). There is a dance practice with the original song. The translations are not perfect but not that bad either. Doolsetbangtan has more literal translations. What can you say about the Queen "Spring Day"? This song is since its drop in spring of 2017 in the charts. The song is about missing friends/losing them in its lyrics conception. I see all the steps of grieving but for Koreans it is the perfect embodiment of the Korean emotion "Han". MV and choreo on the other hand are referencing the desaster. Italian Army is definetly the best: "what you still don't know about BTS Spring Day". They are dancing on glass. "Not today" is a challenge. Baepsae or crowtit (sometimes translated as tryhard) is a small fluffball of a bird. It comes from a Korean Idiom about how a crowtit trying to walk like a stork will split its legs. It is about trying to do things that are above your means so you will likely fail as storks have very long legs. Getting into an expensive music school will be trouble if your parents/you don't have the money for it. You nice! Keep going!
About 26:22, crow tit is a type of bird that is native to southeast Asia. It's a reference to their song Baepsae (Korean for crowtit), which is another song you should definitely check out.
Your face when RM came busting out of that ambulance in Mic Drop. 😂😂😂 He goes SO HARD in that song and I am here for it. Great reaction! You should definitely watch the Spring Day MV explanation. Every scene means something. BTS is so deep. 💜
You should 100% watch the explanation video for Spring day, it was made by Italian ARMY! You will understand the importance of the video and the meaning of the lyrics as well.
Please watch Spring Day explanation by Italian army to understand the video. It’s a very difficult watch but informative. In my opinion it’s the most important video. Thanks
@@jameoww hmm most 3rd gen fandoms are toxic, speaking as an ex exol myself. Atleast Armys does donations and campaigns regularly. I do stay away from Twitter its a hell. But I’m a multisian
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 I'm a monbebe first, but yeah in recent years the fandom has gotten more toxic. I mostly just stick to my multi friends these days lol. Yeah the old exol/army days were bad. Sad that the bullied became the bullies.
22:42 Please also watch the explanation on Blood,sweat and tears. This is one of their most mysterious and probably unsolved mv that have lot of meaning on every single scene
I'll never be able to shut up about *"Not Today"* Yeah a song that found me one early morning at the edge of it all If you can't fly,run. If you can't run walk,crawl. Get up, it's not over. Not Today. Paraphrased but yeah,Bangtan Sonyeondan spoke to me that morning and clearly too. *"Get up and fight, today's not a to die"*
to be very honest, i did not really vibe with this type of music when i was getting into kpop. but as dug deeper into their discography and lyricism, i came to love and respect bts. im army for six years now
3 for 1 rule...what I do. Listen to the song (eyes closed), then watch the video (no subtitles), and finally I'll watch it with subtitles - only way to experience each dimension of their music. There is soooooo much going on in the music, voice, plus the lyrics, plus the eye popping visuals.
Yes there is an original Mic Drop, no MV, but the live performance at the BTS Comeback Show. It was good even before the remix. And there is another version on Soundcloud that features Desiigner. Spring Day had to be abstract/metaphorical because of danger from a possible government blacklist. Not Today quotes Dr Martin Luther King. And "crow tit" is a very small bird that is a metaphor for the disadvantaged lower classes.
Mic Drop: They did the video for the remix because a lot more of it was in English and they knew it would play in the western market. Yes, the original is also epic, it's just a lot more in Korean. I love both the original and the remix. Listen to both frequently.
In spring day - The clothes hill symbolises the people’s stuff and clothes ( The dead people who had nothing left of them but their belongings ) , the last shot the tangled shoes its a tradition habit that means the presence of a recently deceased person on this site or near ) also there is a lot of quotes and symbols from books and movies … I really recommend you watch an explanation video it’s so heart breaking 💔😫
There is an original korean version for mic drop which has more korean in it but the steve aoki one has more english. The original version also has a dance break at the end so definitely recommend the dance practice cuz its epic
I think you should react to the real meaning behind the mv😔😞 I watched the real meaning behind the mv like 4y ago and now every time I'm listening to Spring Day my heart hurt😞
MIC drop was actually inspired by Barack Obama. RM said that during Obama's White House Correspondents Dinner Speech in which he dropped his mic at the end of the speech. RM called it a performance that said "I know my speech was good, wasn't it?"
The MV is more the tribute, the song RM& Suga has said their writing on the song song was written about missing old friends. So the song can be interpreted in many ways.
Please Google the explanation of this song, it's a lot deeper than you think, down to the suitcases, and even Jins importance on the stairs. Very informative.
I think that tying Spring day to the tragedy SO much as some armys do makes a disservice to the song itself. And limits its meaning and the scope of the feelings it portrays. It's a nostalhic song about missing friends and if you listen to Koreans they always insists that there is lyrical brilliance there that takes a native speaker to realy appreciate. It's not in the charts for so long because it's connected to Sewol (which I don't demeaning at all!) but because it's a very strongly crafted song by itself.
This song is about loss in general as well as the Ewol Ferry disaster. The government was heavily criticized for their mishandling of the accident which contributed to so many of the deaths. I think they steered away from some of the specifics because of the political issues.
The original version of mic drop didn't have the English chorus... They translated more of the song for the remix 🤣 needed more haters to be able to understand it!
Oh man- I’d mic drop was a shocker for you you NEED to get into some of their more hiphop concepts/the rap line. Best rap line in kpop. Ddaeng, UGH! and all the cyphers are a great place to start for the entire rap line! :)
I found you in this BTS reaction video. Your English tone and pronunciation are very pleasant and your comments are interesting. I am learning English with this video. Please continue to react to BTS. thank you very much.
The video for Spring Day has a lot of commentary on society and the gov't. Definitely watch the breakdown videos for Spring Day, Idol and Baepsae when you get around to it.
The haters in black hoods appear in multiple videos like Mic Drop and Not Today. In Mic Drop they are also the press, because they were abused by the media for years, and still are sometimes. In Not Today the haters start off chasing them and shooting at them and end up casting off their hoodies and being ARMY by the end, in ranks dancing and running behind BTS, following their lead.
I hope you get to check some of these songs out live bc the mvs just do not do them justice!!! Oh man I can def see Anitra’s bias in the mvs she is suggesting for you to react to 😂 basically leading you on that path !!!! It’s okay… guarantee you’re going to be an army !!! I can feel it… aren’t they wonderful 💜
Spring day is also about loss in general. The Ewol Ferry disaster is also part of the loss. The disaster itself took place over a period of days. It was long and agonizing for the families and friends. There is a video that explains the theory of all the symbolism. I think it's by the Italian armys.💜💔💜💔💜
Loved your reactions again 🤗 For an explanation video on Spring Day, I recommend the one by Italian ARMY who has actually studied the tragedy and met with victims' families as well as been invited by Koreans to speak on the MV symbolism.
Thank you 💟😌!!!!!!! Sir Lovely 🌹💜🤗 For Such An Amazing And Great Reaction 💖 Too Our Beautiful Men's Videos And Music 😍 I Especially Love The Way Your Mouth Opened When "Not Today" Played!!! 💜🌹
To be honest, there are no evidence that states the MV is to tribute the fiery tragic so I think we should just enjoy and understand the song at a wider meaning as a song to tribute those friends or family that passed away. P/s: sorry about my clumsy English 🥲
Lmao here you saw all sides of bts. The love struck/cute bts, the hardcore/not giving any fks bts, the sad/lost bts. And the get tf up out of bed motivational bts.
I was thinking this and looking to see if anyone had said it! It didn't touch every kind of sound they do, but it sure did hit their major moods. It makes me want to make more collections of four songs that do the same thing 😁
i noticed all these mvs were released in 2017 (i don't know if it's intentional) but damn, i was reminded of why i became interested in them that year because the range of these songs?? bc how is mic drop a song by the same group that sang spring day?!?
You should check out the explanation video of this music video, there are so many symbolisms and the explanation video may help you understand and notice them 🙂 spring day will always be one of the songs that make me sweat my eyeballs hard.

mic drop it's a must for those who doesn't know bts, it was the fist song that i heard from them and I fell hard 🤣🤣🤣
I was like I wonder if he’s gonna freak out over the same part I did in DNA … and you did lmao V looked and sounded too crazy in that part. In the best way
literally caught me off guard with that voice haha
Eventhough i knew BTS since 2014, im a baby ARMY. So, its nice to explore all their songs along with you. 💪🏻
someone probably already mentioned it but there is a Mic Drop original version on their album! It’s all in korean. personally i love it more even though both versions are epic 😂
Yess! BTS lyrics mean so much to so many of us. I can genuinely say some of their songs changed my perspective on how I live my life and how I see things, and that’s not at all what I was looking for when I got into BTS a few years ago. The title tracks are not any different, but seriously the magic is in the B sides and the members’ solo work in my opinion. Some of my faves that really mean a lot to me-
LY Tear album: Paradise, Magic Shop (but the whole album is so special)
Persona album: Mikrokosmos
The most beautiful moment in life pt 1 album: Moving On
Solos-
Agust D: So Far Away
Agust D, D2 album: People
Jimin: Promise
Mono: forever rain
Jin: Abyss
(This is not an exhaustive list bc I think their whole discography is so so special and the members’ solo works are so great and unique to them)
For Spring Day, please watch the Explained by an Italian Army. For Idol, use DKDKTV's interpretation, as he goes over a lot of Korean symbolism. Glad you enjoyed all of these; they're some of my favorites (but I have a Long list of BTS favorites...lol).

Mic drop gets em every time, that's what I showed my friends LOL it's a good example of how kpop isn't just bubblegum pop and has many genres!
Truee. Mic drop converted me into ARMY.
yep. i was only a casual listener of kpop but it wasn't until i came across mic drop that i actually got into it

you can reaction mv " i need you" ," prologue", " run" , "young forever". These mv very awesome
all these clips today have different subjects: DNA: love; Mic Drop: hate; Spring Day: longing; Not Today: trust;
YES TO BTS 💜💜💜

About 26:22, crow tit is a type of bird that is native to southeast Asia. It's a reference to their song Baepsae (Korean for crowtit), which is another song you should definitely check out.
Your face when RM came busting out of that ambulance in Mic Drop. 😂😂😂 He goes SO HARD in that song and I am here for it. Great reaction! You should definitely watch the Spring Day MV explanation. Every scene means something. BTS is so deep. 💜
welcome to the bts rabbit hole, this will be a long positive journey that will make you become part of the bts army.
Spring Day is still my fave BTS song to date. No contest.
kings of the music industry.
RJ, watch their performances in Dear Class of 2020. Still one of my faves to watch. And their NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, vocals so so good. :)
yes
I'm excited to watch u watching their performances or dance practice cuz they really deserve what they have right now
You should 100% watch the explanation video for Spring day, it was made by Italian ARMY!
You will understand the importance of the video and the meaning of the lyrics as well.
Please watch Spring Day explanation by Italian army to understand the video. It’s a very difficult watch but informative. In my opinion it’s the most important video. Thanks
On the surface the song DNA sounds like a love song with a lover.However, usually BTS use of the term girl = Army.
I got into BTS like... the day before DNA came out and that started my descent down this kpop hole xD
SAME
And now you're an ex army? Just asking
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 I still like BTS, I find the fandom too toxic tho
@@jameoww hmm most 3rd gen fandoms are toxic, speaking as an ex exol myself. Atleast Armys does donations and campaigns regularly. I do stay away from Twitter its a hell. But I’m a multisian
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 I'm a monbebe first, but yeah in recent years the fandom has gotten more toxic. I mostly just stick to my multi friends these days lol.
Yeah the old exol/army days were bad. Sad that the bullied became the bullies.
22:42 Please also watch the explanation on Blood,sweat and tears. This is one of their most mysterious and probably unsolved mv that have lot of meaning on every single scene
They are just so pretty
Yeah I became ARMY with Mic Drop btw
There is a video that intersperses the music video with little captions explaining the symbolism.
The song you listened in new year's eve I think it was "boy with love"
I'll never be able to shut up about *"Not Today"* Yeah a song that found me one early morning at the edge of it all
If you can't fly,run. If you can't run walk,crawl. Get up, it's not over. Not Today.
Paraphrased but yeah,Bangtan Sonyeondan spoke to me that morning and clearly too. *"Get up and fight, today's not a to die"*
I can't wait for you to see the full singularity video. That song.... it's so soulful and sexy sounding but the lyrics are deep af
to be very honest, i did not really vibe with this type of music when i was getting into kpop. but as dug deeper into their discography and lyricism, i came to love and respect bts.
im army for six years now
Thanks for your reaction 💜
Army forever 💜
DNA Tae is for the history books
Not today was the perfect song to follow something as heavy as Spring Day. The damn alarm sounding through all of spring day 😭. Kills me every time
Sorry I had to pause to say how I love your reaction to V's solo part in DNA. It was priceless! haha 💜💜💜
The lyrics on b-side tracks are so motivational and also I feel have very genius wordplay too define check them out too
3 for 1 rule...what I do. Listen to the song (eyes closed), then watch the video (no subtitles), and finally I'll watch it with subtitles - only way to experience each dimension of their music. There is soooooo much going on in the music, voice, plus the lyrics, plus the eye popping visuals.
finally you react bts back 🥰 please watch other bts shows like mama's show and don't forget to watch bts run because it's very entertaining wkwk
Yes there is an original Mic Drop, no MV, but the live performance at the BTS Comeback Show. It was good even before the remix. And there is another version on Soundcloud that features Desiigner. Spring Day had to be abstract/metaphorical because of danger from a possible government blacklist. Not Today quotes Dr Martin Luther King. And "crow tit" is a very small bird that is a metaphor for the disadvantaged lower classes.
Mic Drop: They did the video for the remix because a lot more of it was in English and they knew it would play in the western market. Yes, the original is also epic, it's just a lot more in Korean. I love both the original and the remix. Listen to both frequently.
In spring day - The clothes hill symbolises the people’s stuff and clothes ( The dead people who had nothing left of them but their belongings ) , the last shot the tangled shoes its a tradition habit that means the presence of a recently deceased person on this site or near ) also there is a lot of quotes and symbols from books and movies … I really recommend you watch an explanation video it’s so heart breaking 💔😫
There is an original korean version for mic drop which has more korean in it but the steve aoki one has more english. The original version also has a dance break at the end so definitely recommend the dance practice cuz its epic
If you like their dancing/choreography, there are practice videos of almost all of their songs... They are amazing dancers... Love your reactions..
BTS 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Watch the explanation videos for Spring Day. You will be amazed at the lyrics and the symbolism in the video for the Sewol ferry tragedy.
I think you should react to the real meaning behind the mv😔😞
I watched the real meaning behind the mv like 4y ago and now every time I'm listening to Spring Day my heart hurt😞
BTS is only Once In a Lifetime ARTISTS ‼️
MIC drop was actually inspired by Barack Obama. RM said that during Obama's White House Correspondents Dinner Speech in which he dropped his mic at the end of the speech. RM called it a performance that said "I know my speech was good, wasn't it?"
The MV is more the tribute, the song RM& Suga has said their writing on the song song was written about missing old friends. So the song can be interpreted in many ways.
She didn’t give you “on kinetic manifesto” to react to ?!?!? Oh man … that has to be coming up I hope!
I've been ARMY for 3 years and I still can't take it ALL in in one go. So don't worry 😉
Not Today includes a reference to Martin Luther King Jr.'s own words. Love it!
thanks for the reaction to the bts super band....
Finally a reactor like me ….. it’s always a struggle with visuals n lyrics 😂
Mic drop still one of my fave BTS songs ^_^
Please Google the explanation of this song, it's a lot deeper than you think, down to the suitcases, and even Jins importance on the stairs. Very informative.
I recommend you: I need you, RUN, short films Of all members, we are bulletproof: the eternal, serendipity, Pide piper, magic shop, Dimple, stigma…..
They paraphrase Dr King in Not Today.....I play it every voting day (Dem)
I think that tying Spring day to the tragedy SO much as some armys do makes a disservice to the song itself. And limits its meaning and the scope of the feelings it portrays. It's a nostalhic song about missing friends and if you listen to Koreans they always insists that there is lyrical brilliance there that takes a native speaker to realy appreciate. It's not in the charts for so long because it's connected to Sewol (which I don't demeaning at all!) but because it's a very strongly crafted song by itself.
This song is about loss in general as well as the Ewol Ferry disaster. The government was heavily criticized for their mishandling of the accident which contributed to so many of the deaths. I think they steered away from some of the specifics because of the political issues.
Mic Drop: RJ - what do I say? Me: RJ you say thank you BTS...
We recommend that you watch the video explaining the meaning of bts spring day.
More BTS reactions please!
XCelest explanation videos for all of there pieces are so spot on. You will enjoy them.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The original version of mic drop didn't have the English chorus... They translated more of the song for the remix 🤣 needed more haters to be able to understand it!
Oh man- I’d mic drop was a shocker for you you NEED to get into some of their more hiphop concepts/the rap line. Best rap line in kpop. Ddaeng, UGH! and all the cyphers are a great place to start for the entire rap line! :)
I think he’s into vocals more
I found you in this BTS reaction video.
Your English tone and pronunciation are very pleasant and your comments are interesting.
I am learning English with this video.
Please continue to react to BTS. thank you very much.
The video for Spring Day has a lot of commentary on society and the gov't. Definitely watch the breakdown videos for Spring Day, Idol and Baepsae when you get around to it.
There are two explanation videos that you must watch. Each captures different aspects.
The haters in black hoods appear in multiple videos like Mic Drop and Not Today. In Mic Drop they are also the press, because they were abused by the media for years, and still are sometimes. In Not Today the haters start off chasing them and shooting at them and end up casting off their hoodies and being ARMY by the end, in ranks dancing and running behind BTS, following their lead.
I hope you get to check some of these songs out live bc the mvs just do not do them justice!!! Oh man I can def see Anitra’s bias in the mvs she is suggesting for you to react to 😂 basically leading you on that path !!!! It’s okay… guarantee you’re going to be an army !!! I can feel it… aren’t they wonderful 💜
But he’s the one picking all the videos he wants to react to?? Lol I only made sure he had proper links to things. 🤷♀️😂😋
Spring day is also about loss in general. The Ewol Ferry disaster is also part of the loss. The disaster itself took place over a period of days. It was long and agonizing for the families and friends. There is a video that explains the theory of all the symbolism. I think it's by the Italian armys.💜💔💜💔💜
Loved your reactions again 🤗 For an explanation video on Spring Day, I recommend the one by Italian ARMY who has actually studied the tragedy and met with victims' families as well as been invited by Koreans to speak on the MV symbolism.
yes, there's an original for Mic Drop, it's mostly Korean...
Thank you 💟😌!!!!!!! Sir Lovely 🌹💜🤗 For Such An Amazing And Great Reaction 💖 Too Our Beautiful Men's Videos And Music 😍 I Especially Love The Way Your Mouth Opened When "Not Today" Played!!! 💜🌹
To be honest, there are no evidence that states the MV is to tribute the fiery tragic so I think we should just enjoy and understand the song at a wider meaning as a song to tribute those friends or family that passed away.
P/s: sorry about my clumsy English 🥲
Lmao here you saw all sides of bts. The love struck/cute bts, the hardcore/not giving any fks bts, the sad/lost bts. And the get tf up out of bed motivational bts.
I was thinking this and looking to see if anyone had said it! It didn't touch every kind of sound they do, but it sure did hit their major moods. It makes me want to make more collections of four songs that do the same thing 😁
@@evantesseract737 you worded this perfectly
@@namjoonvsonion6571 I feel like you did and I just agreed with you 😁
i noticed all these mvs were released in 2017 (i don't know if it's intentional) but damn, i was reminded of why i became interested in them that year because the range of these songs?? bc how is mic drop a song by the same group that sang spring day?!?
it wasn’t intentional but i totally caught on to that too haha
You should check out the explanation video of this music video, there are so many symbolisms and the explanation video may help you understand and notice them 🙂 spring day will always be one of the songs that make me sweat my eyeballs hard.
Tienen que ver la explicación de la letra y el video de Sprint Day , esta en Italiano, pero tiene subtitulo en Inglés
Dna is perfect song
