Allen is so good at remembering the boys, as a crazy army I'm not gonna lie I can recognize them from their hands I really don't want any one to reach that point 😂
Wait, the concept and design were inspired by the book "Demian" by Hernan Hesse, this was the album "Wings" (2016) that was before reaching the era of "Love Yourself" (2017-2018). Black swan is from the current album "map of the soul: 7".
The storyline and themes seem to be ongoing. You saw that the Smeraldo blog has been updated? The boys are definitely not done telling the story, MOTS:7 has elements/symbols going back to the story.
@@rachyot7408 yeah and BTS narrated wizard of OZ story which is related to a storm. And in LYS reel it's raining. Smeraldo means emerald in Italian. Basically the emerald city.
Tea Topshop and army in Australia (I think) noted that if turning ON on it’s side we have OZ. So from N.O. to ON to OZ leading us to Wizard of Oz imagery
@@rachyot7408 some people were saying that BTS were already at the emerald city and were going to their home. Down the yellow brick road. Thus the umbrella things they have been using. Apparently we can get a Jimin intro as he exchanged umbrella in fake love trailer and was Dorothy in the narration. BTS also recently danced with umbrellas so there is something about them.
"What's the budget?" I laugh because of the class of 2020 commencement speech they gave. While American artists were giving their speeches from their living rooms, BTS rented out an entire museum. Our boys flex without flexing, lol.

Hi from Argentina guys!! WINGS era came before LOVE YOURSELF era every era is an album or trylogy. Wings had two albums: 1.Wings 2. You never walk alone. Then came Love yourself era wich had three albums: 1. LY Her 2. LY Tear 3. LY Answer. Then comes 1. Map of the soul PERSONA 2. Map of the soul 7 (current album). ALl of this was better explained in the Crash course video you guys reacted to, pls take a look again in your spare time to actually get to know the entire body of work of BTS ALBUMS BCS ITS A MUST it will help a lot to understand the storyline and mvs THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTIONS AND THE EFFORT YOU ARE PUTTING TO CONECT ALL BTS WORKS BCS ITS WORTH IT.
This was the era when Jimin was on a strict diet (eating once a day for 10 days), he almost fainted while shooting this MV. Jin had been eating two packs of chicken breast a day for a year (On an interview, he said he had gotten malnourished during this time) Hence most of the members look skinny and different, aside from their make-up (eyeliner) which has a huge impact on their looks. Suga gains and loses weight easily. Black Swan: It is about an artist’s fear to losing his love to his passion or craft. If that happens, it resembles death to him. Blood Sweat and Tears: is about giving in to temptation (wanting more)
I really appreciate that you guys have taken the time to understand the storyline. Though to be honest, for the longest time, I didn't even know there WAS a story line. I too watched the videos out of order ( I also didn't know there was an order) and I just thought that some of the videos had common elements. If you miss something or mix something up, it's all good. If you want to get to know them better, you could try watching some of the funny videos others have suggested. I personally don't care for the ones that are mainly about them in America because a lot of the humor in those relies on many of them not knowing English perfectly and to me it's admirable that they speak any English at all. I really enjoyed their Carpool Karaoke episode with James Corden. It's also helpful that they are sitting in a car so they aren't moving around much. Lol
thank you, alex. thank you for pointing it out. j-hope's dancing is crazy. it was a great interpretation of the song too. 😭💜 he's so amazing!!! yessss! they're so humble. so so humble, it's so beautiful to see.
I love watching Allen's facial expressions especially when you reacted to I Need U. Alex, I love how your mind works. Great combination guys👏👏👏 thank you.
I noticed that too.....😂i didnt want to bother them by saying it! But i feel like alex should hear allen more out 💜bc he keeps cutting him off! I get frustrated 😂
@@Shiniknik I know for sure Alex will be cussing at my comment lol but that's what siblings do they cut each other off and don't listen to each other lol
It would be good to see all 7 members in performance first. Recommend explanation video on Blood, Sweat and tears. More MVs: Dope, Fire, Not today, Spring day and Idol.
Don't worry too much about not knowing who's who. It happened to all of us as we got into bts. The only difference is that you guys are recording your journey. As time goes by it'll get easier I promise💜
@@Amicy no problem! And don't feel pressured to understand the whole story line. BTS would want you to understand and take in the message they have in each of they're songs. The storyline is just a way for fans to have fun with the music and make theories. I'm also army and I will admit I honestly don't fully get it. I'm just here for the music and the members😊
What we have been trying to tell people all along but they make it seem like we should be experts already and know everything 🤦🏾♂️ We just chilling and enjoying the ride through this journey
Just so you guys know the year videos were dropped doesn’t dictate the story line because they did a lot of things out of order. This means a video made in 2017 in the storyline could come before a vid made in 2016. There are videos where fans had already put the videos in order if you look up BTS story line in order.
Oh, and getting upset about the order...at no point in time did either of you say: “what chronological order should we watch the videos in? Send us video titles in order. We are hapless and have no way to google it for ourselves. “😏
V is not a Black Swan he represents the fallen angel Demain book. The Black Swan is not from their wings album but from their recent one map of the soul 7 of this year. And for each of the video the date of when the MV came out is shown on the left down.
I feel like some artists forget why they loved doing music in the first place and let fame get to their heads. Others are in it for the fame and they get lost in it, and then there are others that never wanted fame to begin with but were kind of forced into it because that’s what music brings, fame. Idk if I explained myself right but it makes sense in my head lol.
Allen: did you see how crisp that was?? Alex: aNyHoW- wHaT i WaS fOcUsInG oN UMMM can you just let Allen talk for once? Stop cutting him off and dismissing what he says! Its incredibly frustrating to watch and I cant imagine how that must feel for him.
you can easily watch every MV they released in order in their own channel, the story line is plotted through those anyway (starting in The Most Beautiful Moment in Life [HYYH] pt 1); you can also throw the explanation videos after if you like (you can go to xCeleste - she's perfect for the story line, DKDKTV - they're perfect for korean and cultural explanations, or Bookish Theory - she goes well into the art and literature side of things) i cant wait how you guys will react once you finally understand what have been going on with all (yes, ALL) the MVs they released
If you confused,better google their discography and watch them one by one from the start,their debut album and the title song is "no more dream" and b side song "we are bulletproof pt.2" .also it can help you remember their faces^^.And u can watch the vid twice for only lyrics and the visuals i think that's better reaction😆 Oh and hi from indonesia^^
J Hope choreographed his dance in Boy Meets Evil. They had a hard start and they stay grounded by remembering what it took to get to where they are. They are just amazing people, and they appreciate their fans. I went back and watched their debut live performance and was amazed how their fans were there cheering them on and supporting them. ARMY literally were with them from the beginning.
Before watching the next video for the story line do not forget to watch blood sweat and tears Japanese ver. Japanese version has different music video and it is full of hints. So please do watch the music video of Japanese version.
The Bangtan Universe really began in their mvs in 2015 with I NEED U and Run. Blood Sweat and Tears came out in 2016 in their Wings album. During the time Wings came out, the Wings short films were also released and the "Live Trilogy EP III Trailer" was just a trailer for their upcoming tour at the time. (BTS used to label their tours as "trilogies") Of course they've released other songs with mvs along the way that do not connect with the BU. Songs such as Dope, Fire, Save Me, Not Today, or Mic Drop that all have choreography centered music videos don't connect to the BU. Also Black Swan was released early 2020 so that song is newer and does not connect with these mvs. The meaning behind that song is about the fear of losing your passion and the music video is inspired by the film, Black Swan. Also as Allen said, the lyrics to all the songs involved with the BU do not correlate to the actual story, so you won't find any clues in the lyrics. However, the music video for Blood Sweat and Tears was inspired by the story of Demian by Hermann Hesse. So while the Wings short films completely ARE part of the BU, the only real things I personally can pick apart from this music video in particular that ties into the BU is JIN breaking and the flowers that are seen with him that are always reoccurring. Also, I'm not sure if this is on the playlist you guys are following but the Japanese version of the blood sweat tears music video is completely different and definitely follows the story more. Also since you guys are curious about when each song or video came out, here's just a brief history lesson lol: BTS has tended to make their albums in trilogies. From 2013, when they debuted, to 2014, they released 3 albums (2 Kool 4 Skool, O!RUL82?, and Skool Luv Affair) these were part of the "school trilogy". These focused on the problems that teenagers faced, oppression and the corrupt school system. Then in 2015 they had the "Youth" trilogy with their albums "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life" pt1 & 2. This is where I Need U and Run came from and they discussed coming of age topics. Now getting past their rebellious and growing up stages, we get to 2016 where they released Wings, which again is based on Demian and its themes on temptation. In 2017 through 2018 we now get to the "Love Yourself" series. Here you will see the Highlight reels, which are major BU story points, Euphoria and Fake Love. In 2019-2020, they then started the "Map of the Soul" series which is based on Carl Jungs theory of psychology. These held Persona, Shadow, and Ego, which you've reacted to already. However, songs such as those really relate more to the concept of Carl Jung than to the storyline. I feel as if Fake Love was one of the last music videos that held storyline plots, because starting during the Love Yourself series, they began releasing "Notes" in their physical albums that served as "diary entries" for the boys' characters in the BU that help you understand the progression of the story. Also in 2019 they released an entire book of just those diary entries called "The Notes1". In the same year they also released the webtoon, Save Me. That's basically like a whole comic of the storyline somewhat so far and it makes things so much clearer. Of course I wouldn't recommend reading the the webtoon until after you're done watching all the video stuff. I'm excited to keep watching your reactions! :)
Would you guys be into watching non-music video BTS related content between your usual storyline reactions? Because I think seeing them outside of MVs, hearing their speaking voices etc would really help with identifying and getting to know each member. Might also break things up ?? I can literally see how hard yall are concentrating on deducting each detail lol (SAME) and I don't want u to stress 😭. May I suggest 2 iconic videos to react to - "BTS moments that butter my croissant" and "BTS moments that toast my buns" by kooflex these are easy and fucking legendary within the fandom and you don't need to know all the in-jokes to find it funny 🤪🥰
Allen is so done with you not being able to differentiate between them 😂😂 Basically,Jin is the main actor for BTS,most videos are focused on him & he's a pivotal character.The WINGS Era came before the LOVE YOURSELF Era and Blood Sweat & Tears is from the WINGS ERA. It is based on the book Damien by Herman Hesse. At the beginning of the MV Jin is looking at a painting & he seems mesmerized by it,the painting is called THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS by Peter Bruegel and it's basically about how the rebel angels were removed from heaven. In the MV there is also another painting the LANDSCAPE WITH THE FALL OF ICARUS...this painting can be seen at the point where V jumps & falls down.If you look closely you can see Icarus in the water on the right side of the painting. In Greek mythology,Icarus was the son of Daedelus the master craftsman.They attempt to escape from the Island of Crete & Daedelus makes wings made of feathers & wax for his son.Icarus flew too close to the son & the wax melted therefore falling to his death. There is also another painting in the video at the point where Jungkook is 'floating'..the painting is called THE LAMENT FOR ICARUS which is a painting by Herbert James Draper & it depicts a dead Icarus surrounded by grieving nymphs.This whole music video is pure art. When RM starts the narration,we are shown Jin letting go of a balloon & tries to reach out to it only to realise it's too late.This symbolises the loss of his innocence as a youth. Now the statue at the end of the vid that Jin kisses represents a fallen angel.When he's walking towards it we're shown a 'curtain' being lifted to reveal that V is indeed the fallen angel and he's been trying to tempt Jin to accept the evil (he's been successfull in tempting the others that's why V is constantly looking at Jin & he covered Jin's eyes).Once Jin kisses the statue we're shown V looking behind & smirking & he has wounds that symbolise where his wings were. So Jin is basically giving into temptation to accept both Light & darkness. It's a bit long but I hope it's helped you guys out 💜
It's so interesting that ya'll are recognizing how Jimin was lacking in the other videos because he really was not getting that much camera time in older MV's. It wasn't really until later on until you really see him more and I'm so here for it!
Story Time... I'm a bit late for this comment and I'm sure you've read others like it, but this is a theory that some ARMYs have that connect to the "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" MV. This MV focuses on the temptations of this world, such as lust, greed, envy, etc. And the boys are imprisoned by their temptations or trapped within this darkness. Basically, it's hurting/killing them, and it's difficult to run away from it. However, Jin possibly helped save them when he kissed the statue. He set them free from their temptations. However, when he did, he ended up sacrificing himself, which is why Jin's face was cracking at the very end. Remember that this is only a theory. No one really knows the real story behind it, but this is my favorite theory so far. Maybe it'll help give you some ideas. I'm happy that you chose to take this journey with the rest of us ARMYs. 💜💜💜 P.S. I love that Alex can tell the difference between members by their lips. 😂🤣 But honestly I was the same way when I first started. Don't lose faith, Alex. You'll catch on eventually if you keep working hard and study their faces in your own time. Also, I'm proud of Allen for being able to learn so quickly. He on point so far.
I think they remain humble even they're so big now because they start with nothing I mean they struggles a lot in their early days, that's why theyre so down to earth cause they experience the worst before the best, and that's what we love about them they're not taking advantage of their popularity instead they use that as a way of helping us to improved and developed our selves for the better.
They are humble because of their roots and culture. Even when they were getting popular they had hardships and haters on their back. They almost broke up in 2018 because of the way they were treated. They stayed together for only two reasons - their love and support of each other and Army backing them to reach even higher. Which they did in 2019? Army is strong just for them.
Allen was defenetly right! 22:26 | this was the album "Wings" (2016) actually the concept and design of this album were inspired by the book "Demian" by Hernan Hesse, greeting from Argentina!
I reckon tho, that even if they’re not in order and you’d seem some out of the list that eventually when coming around to them again in the list that you’d be able to pay attention more to other details and pick up more from what you’ve seen~? But I get the confusion... you may still feel that going through the whole timeline tho until watching the end when you watch the explanation videos LOOOL. But you did get some of it in the last video that had me all *surprised pikachu face* 😂 but well... good luck boys! 😂✌🏾
just to make it clear this universe the blood sweat and tears one is very metaphorical like Jin kissing the statue is kind of like him making a contract "sealing a deal" with the devil and if you see V had black wings and in bst he just had the scars. and the contract makes him break (jin) Also black swan is from 2020 whereas bst is 2016 Fake love era (2018) will give you more clues also black swan has a art film version (it was released first) which is very metaphorical i hope you check it out once you reach there Also the second video is actually a video announcement for their world tour concert in 2017 imagine if this was the trailer announcement how epic the concert would have been! And the concert it was if not the best bts have few of the best concerts but the wings tour literally felt like jumping inside a storybook thank you for reacting to this
The story in BS&T is essentially their conflict between resisting tempatation and giving into it. Throughout the video, you can see each member giving into temptation. From a theory I read earlier, V is convincing Jin to also choose the path of evil. The statue may be referring to something Jin desires. It is much more complex than this - there are even references to Icarus in the video (when V jumps off the balcony, a painting called "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", is in the background). Just like Icarus flew too high and fell when the sun melted the wax holding his wings together, V too fell into darkness (him falling into water and drowning) after killing his father.
guys dont worry about watching other recent videos, not all videos are related to the Bangtan Universe storyline so all the other videos you saw, most of them are part of the new era which storyline is Carl's Jung Psychology Theory, thats another era we are in right now. Black Swan is part of this new era. You will get there at one point. You can still react to other stuff don't worry that much about it :)
They stay humble because of what they've been through. They didn't forgot where they started (unlike the other artists). When they're starting, they didn't just learn about music like singing, dancing, and rapping. They also learned what life really is (Attitude). They learn how to be a good person that even you're already in the top you have to stay humble. (I already seen all of their videos from american hustle life-bon voyage-run bts-etc) and if time comes and you two will also see that, you'll understand😊
i suggest you to watch their solo performances first for a while then follow the storyline again. it will help you more when you get to know them better you can understand it better. there are many videos and songs that are not related to BU so i guess its better to watch them first so it wont be confusing.
The School Trilogy came first, then the HYYH Trilogy, next the Youth era, after that the LOVE YOURSELF era and final the MAP OF THE SOUL Era. BTS usually put out albums in trilogies and eras, then a repacking and Japanese album version. Don't forget the School Trilogy which is 1. the 2 COOL 4 SKOOL album, 2.O!RUL8,2? album, 3.SKOOL LUV Affair album and their SKOOL Luv Affair special repackaging album. Then their HYYH Trilogy 1. Dark & Wild album 2. Most Beautiful Moments in Life Part 1 album, 3. Most Beautiful Moments in Life Part 2 album and the repackaging album of Most Beautiful Moments in Life: Young Forever. The Temptation & Youth Era is the Wings album and You Never Walk Alone album. The Yourself era was three albums 1. Love Yourself: Her, 2. Love Yourself: Tear and 3. Love Yourself: Answer. Also their Japanese albums are amazing...the Wake Up Album from the school trilogy, Youth Album from The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Speak Yourself Album and Map of the Soul: 7 The Journey album(Japanese MV's too).
I’m gonna say this politely and respectfully because I love you both and your channel, but Alex please let Allen finish his statements before cutting him off. There’s at least 2 times he didn’t get 2 words out and you completely cut him off. If it doesn’t bother him then I guess do whatever but it bothers me. He wanted to say something about how crisp their dance moves were and you cut him off. It’s rude to me cuz it’s both of y’all’s channel. Also please listen to him when he says to let the videos finish (last 2 videos he told you that and you chose not to and y’all missed stuff). Again love you both but would like to hear what Allen has to say also. Otherwise great reaction and Allen great job on recognizing the guys! Alex you’re getting there, it just takes time. Can’t wait to see y’all react to the explanation videos when it’s time! 😁
Alex here! Please read the comment sections prior to posting!!!! As we mentioned, these videos are recorded in 5-7 video increments, which means that if there is "Constructive" criticism that is given in the first video, we are unable to actually do anything until we record the next videos!!!!! this is number 41 i've responded to today about the same topic so that goes to show that we actually take the time to read and respond to all the comments!! Preciate youu!!!
Allen was on to something about evolving. The concepts are not about a single persons experience. It's just like art where each piece ties into the larger message.
At this point we can say Allen is a certified ARMY. Allen speak more please, seems like Allen understands more than Alex cause 1) he recognized the members instantly thus he can relate the story easily 2) he noticed things in common in previous stuff they reacted to current one 3) he need more speak time frfr haha Not that Alex isn't good or anything, Alex speaks from a normal non-army or new army perspectives and I think it's quite entertaining when he got confused or got it wrong haha. Also, he see it as general perspective(the dance the lyrics the visuals), not really focus on the storyline itself which is okay because BTS stuff are related to our general life. So keep it up Alex. Good job.
this is my 1st comment...you guys are hillarious...always amaze me everytime i watch your reaction..Alex you need more focus on who is who...i think Allen almost got it right..almost...almost...hehehe.. keep on watch more BTS MV...you guys will get them right soon...take care and stay healthy...i support your channel..and thank you for reacting to BTS...love you guys.
You should react to more bts live comeback stages and their live concert footage like so what, anpanman and you should react to bts stage mix videos and jungkook euphoria live stage at Osaka it will blow your mind I swear.
Fact. They started nothing and their company (agency) bighit was near in bankruptcy. Bts almost saved their company. There's one person who's in the big hit also said if he is part of the bts he would demand some position since the company become big because of them. But they still remained humble. It's based on the interview.
I know y'all brains hurt 😂😂. I think it's time to take a small break from the storyline and get to know the boys a bit better. Some hilarious videos that are popular are bts being being extra af in America or bts being extra af at award shows. Or you can look at one of their performances like their MMA 2018 or 2019 performance (they might try to block the video tho 😪). 💜💜💜
Sometimes they forget they're millionaires, they will get excited over noodle cooker and free food 😂😂😂😂💜💜💜. They're amazing, one of the things I love about them. React to BTS forgetting they're millionaires
okay, so Blood Sweat and Tears was taken from the story Demian from Herman Hesse. technically it's about losing innocence and giving into temptation. so the part in the end that Jin kisses the statue was supposed to be like Jin kissing V (Taehyung) and falling into temptation. the wings were cut off because he's a fallen angel. it's sort of tied into black swan as there's the wings too, but it hasn't been fully explained yet, because Jk also has shadows and symbols of wings in his Wings trailer and in the Japanese version of BS&T.
About what confuses you... Think of the term, "pay the price for kissing the devil" So basically V represented the existence of the "devil" or the "shadow". And in the BTS Universe storyline note that Jin was the one offered by the white cat to be able to time travel to the past to save the boys. When he agreed to do so, it was like signing his soul to the devil. Because no matter how many times he time travelled he couldn't save all of them. There would always be one who dies or get in prison. In the BTS Universe, RM gets imprisoned for assault. JIMIN commits suicide by drowning himself in a tub for being locked up in a mental institute by his own parents. JHOPE who thinks he has narcolepsy, keeps falling asleep at the wrong place at the wrong time so in every time line he either severely injures himself or die falling off the stairs, JK dies from falling off a building(and for some reason he always falls on Jin's car or somewhere very near Jin, SUGA dies from suicide via arson (as he keeps burning the rooms he is in), or V ends up killing his dad causing him to get arrested and given death sentence. So imagine Jin repeating that over and over again, according to the BTSU notes that they included in the albums during this era, Jin couldn't count(or already forgotten how many times) he has gone back in time in attempt to save his friends. So the image of him breaking after "kissing the devil" is an imagery of his mental state after going back over and over again and witnessing his friends die over and over again. Also V was made to represent the "devil" because no matter how many time lines Jin goes back to, V is never saved, no matter how many times he successfully saves all of them, V always ends up killing his dad and getting arrested to be sentenced to death. V's situation is like the saying "a past that can't be changed" that's why Jin keeps going back. You guys should really read the webtoon "Save Me" in Line webtoon. It s an official BigHit collab with a webtoonist to portray a sneak peak of the BTS Universe storyline. Link: www.webtoons.com/en/drama/bts-save-me/list?title_no=1514
The symbolic wings may look the same. But they mean different things. The wings in WINGS is a symbol for breaking out of a shell and finally growing up to reach adulthood. The wings in black swan is a symbol for accepting your shadows.
I remember how excited I was when I could easily distinguish the members visually and then by their voices. Don't beat yourselves up at all though because it's easily confusing with their hair color changes OR when they all have same tones like all dark. It will be cool when it clicks for you guys because it will seem so simple 😁
you guys have to watch bts blood sweat and tears in japanese version next (watch it before the bts highlight reels) because it sheds more light on the storyline!
Black swan is new. So this is basically the order. HYYH- the youth trilogy WINGS- inspired from Damien by Hermann Hesse LOVE YOURSELF TRILOGY MAP OF THE SOUL-inspired by Jungs map of the soul by Murray Stein Black swan is from MOTS 7.
So for understanding the blood sweat and tears music video and concepts please check out this video. It is one of the best explanations made for it. th-cam.com/video/5tlgAUE6yjg/w-d-xo.html
Black Swan is in a differnet Era, Map of the soul. You are in the wings era. A lot of references from the book Demian by Herman Hesse. the intros that RM reads in the beginning of the short films and in this MV is from Demian.
You guys will really need to watch explanation videos to really put up all the pieces together and then after watching all the storyline related videos you have to watch "Bangtan Universe Explained by XCeleste" because this story is also a webtoon (like a manga made by BTS too) so all the missing pieces are explained in the webtoon, but XCeleste puts up the pieces together pretty well. After you see this everything will make sense.
I've always found, when people tell new reacters to ignore the lyrics, to be very disrespectful to the lyrics BTS have worked hard to write, and very wrong as well. The lyrics, like the music videos, are chock full of meaning and written with intention, not just to be catchy and carry the song along. Do NOT ignore ANY lyrics. While you can't be literal with the words (for example, in I Need U, when the boys sing "I need you, girl", it's not actually a girl to whom they are referring), the words hold great meaning for both the individual song's message, as well as to the greater Bangtan Universe. You simply have to understand that they are being symbolic, and apply the lyrics to the theory growing in your mind. One main rule to go with when reading lyrics is that in this era of BTS and going forward, their songs are (almost) never about a romantic relationship. When there is a female, or reference to a "girl", it's almost always going to be representative of each other, or ARMY, or MAYBE a vague significant other (romantic or otherwise). But please, please, DON'T ignore the lyrics, and I hope ARMY will STOP telling people that.

i love how even Allen is like "you gotta start studying" cause Alex couldn't tell who was who, like even Allen is like bro cmon lol
Melissa 😂😂
Don’t get it twisted-That Beyoncé and jayz song/ MV came AFTER this one by 2 years. BTS museum concept was first. Nobody doing it like BTS.
Alex: I look at their lips. Their lips look different.
Allen: Bro, their whole faces are different.
Hahaha
Allen is so good at remembering the boys, as a crazy army I'm not gonna lie I can recognize them from their hands I really don't want any one to reach that point 😂
LMAO YOU’RE AMAZING
Its okay. I used to be able to recognize all 5 TVXQ members by their eyebrows. I even shocked myself.
I mean i think i can recognize our boys based on their shadow already. 😂
I think we've all reached that point hahaha
Don't worry bts members themselves can tell each other apart by just hearing each other's breathing 😂😂😂
Wait, the concept and design were inspired by the book "Demian" by Hernan Hesse, this was the album "Wings" (2016) that was before reaching the era of "Love Yourself" (2017-2018). Black swan is from the current album "map of the soul: 7".
The storyline and themes seem to be ongoing. You saw that the Smeraldo blog has been updated? The boys are definitely not done telling the story, MOTS:7 has elements/symbols going back to the story.
@@rachyot7408 yeah and BTS narrated wizard of OZ story which is related to a storm. And in LYS reel it's raining. Smeraldo means emerald in Italian. Basically the emerald city.
Tea Topshop and army in Australia (I think) noted that if turning ON on it’s side we have OZ. So from N.O. to ON to OZ leading us to Wizard of Oz imagery
@@rachyot7408 🤯
@@rachyot7408 some people were saying that BTS were already at the emerald city and were going to their home. Down the yellow brick road. Thus the umbrella things they have been using. Apparently we can get a Jimin intro as he exchanged umbrella in fake love trailer and was Dorothy in the narration. BTS also recently danced with umbrellas so there is something about them.
"What's the budget?" I laugh because of the class of 2020 commencement speech they gave. While American artists were giving their speeches from their living rooms, BTS rented out an entire museum. Our boys flex without flexing, lol.
Elena Sosa that is very true loll
Slight flex.
That's how we flex! #btsarmy
He's giving into temptation and accepting both light and darkness to become his true self, everything is based on Damien by Herman Hesse

If you want to know more about the stories of the BTS MV's, I recommend you to watch -->(BTS STORYLINE SUMMARY + EXPLANATION by xCeleste)
Allen’s frustration with Alex not knowing names can be calculated by the number of donuts 🍩 he’s having to consume to get through the BST MV.
At the beginning of each MV they show the date of when the MV was made.
Victory, thank you for that note!!! We will be looking forward to it!!
Hi from Argentina guys!!
WINGS era came before LOVE YOURSELF era every era is an album or trylogy. Wings had two albums: 1.Wings 2. You never walk alone.
Then came Love yourself era wich had three albums: 1. LY Her 2. LY Tear 3. LY Answer.
Then comes 1. Map of the soul PERSONA 2. Map of the soul 7 (current album).
ALl of this was better explained in the Crash course video you guys reacted to, pls take a look again in your spare time to actually get to know the entire body of work of BTS ALBUMS BCS ITS A MUST it will help a lot to understand the storyline and mvs THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTIONS AND THE EFFORT YOU ARE PUTTING TO CONECT ALL BTS WORKS BCS ITS WORTH IT.
Hey! Vamos Argentina! 💪
@@RiSaRx85Yass sis!!!😉🙌😘
This was the era when Jimin was on a strict diet (eating once a day for 10 days), he almost fainted while shooting this MV. Jin had been eating two packs of chicken breast a day for a year (On an interview, he said he had gotten malnourished during this time) Hence most of the members look skinny and different, aside from their make-up (eyeliner) which has a huge impact on their looks. Suga gains and loses weight easily.
Black Swan: It is about an artist’s fear to losing his love to his passion or craft. If that happens, it resembles death to him.
Blood Sweat and Tears: is about giving in to temptation (wanting more)
Wasn't the Jin thing happening way before the hyyh era?
I really appreciate that you guys have taken the time to understand the storyline. Though to be honest, for the longest time, I didn't even know there WAS a story line. I too watched the videos out of order ( I also didn't know there was an order) and I just thought that some of the videos had common elements. If you miss something or mix something up, it's all good.
If you want to get to know them better, you could try watching some of the funny videos others have suggested. I personally don't care for the ones that are mainly about them in America because a lot of the humor in those relies on many of them not knowing English perfectly and to me it's admirable that they speak any English at all. I really enjoyed their Carpool Karaoke episode with James Corden. It's also helpful that they are sitting in a car so they aren't moving around much. Lol
We will check that out and thank you for the suggestion
thank you, alex. thank you for pointing it out. j-hope's dancing is crazy. it was a great interpretation of the song too. 😭💜 he's so amazing!!! yessss! they're so humble. so so humble, it's so beautiful to see.
You are welcome 😁
I love watching Allen's facial expressions especially when you reacted to I Need U. Alex, I love how your mind works. Great combination guys👏👏👏 thank you.
The Amicy Duo🔥🤙🏾
Lol, love when brothers get along😁
Thank you guys for another reaction!!! Alex I know Allen is younger but start listening to him ... ;) lol
I noticed that too.....😂i didnt want to bother them by saying it! But i feel like alex should hear allen more out 💜bc he keeps cutting him off! I get frustrated 😂
@@Shiniknik I know for sure Alex will be cussing at my comment lol but that's what siblings do they cut each other off and don't listen to each other lol
@@lillianlynn09 lol😂🤷🏼♀️
It would be good to see all 7 members in performance first. Recommend explanation video on Blood, Sweat and tears. More MVs: Dope, Fire, Not today, Spring day and Idol.
blood seat and tears JP version too th-cam.com/video/7OX7dIRReSA/w-d-xo.html
Don't worry too much about not knowing who's who. It happened to all of us as we got into bts. The only difference is that you guys are recording your journey. As time goes by it'll get easier I promise💜
Thank you for writing this out because people have seemed to forget that it’s our journey on knowing them 💜😁😁😁
@@Amicy no problem! And don't feel pressured to understand the whole story line. BTS would want you to understand and take in the message they have in each of they're songs. The storyline is just a way for fans to have fun with the music and make theories. I'm also army and I will admit I honestly don't fully get it. I'm just here for the music and the members😊
What we have been trying to tell people all along but they make it seem like we should be experts already and know everything 🤦🏾♂️ We just chilling and enjoying the ride through this journey
Y’all know you can see the date in the description... right?
now we will haha!!!!
Amicy pfft 😂
Bro u need to let Allen speak up his mind, u seem to always cut his words in the middle on purpose or not. Sorry for my English.
Thank you ! I was waiting for someone to point out 😂I thought I was hallucinating
Yeah and Allen let's it slide even though he has some good points. Bless.
Finally someone said it
literally
Yes, please...
Great reaction! I think it’s easier to remember who’s who with their voices since they don’t sound that same to me!
Just so you guys know the year videos were dropped doesn’t dictate the story line because they did a lot of things out of order. This means a video made in 2017 in the storyline could come before a vid made in 2016. There are videos where fans had already put the videos in order if you look up BTS story line in order.
Wow Allen you are great at recognizing the guys 🤗
Oh, and getting upset about the order...at no point in time did either of you say: “what chronological order should we watch the videos in? Send us video titles in order. We are hapless and have no way to google it for ourselves. “😏
😂
BTS actually made a reaction to Blood Sweat and Tears too if you wanna watch it it's on the channel Bangtan Subs
😂
Alex: I can tell who Jin is because of his lips.
Allen: Or because his face is different..
💀💀💀💀😂😂
Hahaaa
This is why I love their work. They keep it real and hold true to themselves, their values.
V is not a Black Swan he represents the fallen angel Demain book. The Black Swan is not from their wings album but from their recent one map of the soul 7 of this year. And for each of the video the date of when the MV came out is shown on the left down.
I feel like some artists forget why they loved doing music in the first place and let fame get to their heads. Others are in it for the fame and they get lost in it, and then there are others that never wanted fame to begin with but were kind of forced into it because that’s what music brings, fame. Idk if I explained myself right but it makes sense in my head lol.
“Thats V on the floor”
Idk why but that made me laugh so much
Allen: did you see how crisp that was??
Alex: aNyHoW- wHaT i WaS fOcUsInG oN
UMMM can you just let Allen talk for once? Stop cutting him off and dismissing what he says! Its incredibly frustrating to watch and I cant imagine how that must feel for him.
you can easily watch every MV they released in order in their own channel, the story line is plotted through those anyway (starting in The Most Beautiful Moment in Life [HYYH] pt 1); you can also throw the explanation videos after if you like (you can go to xCeleste - she's perfect for the story line, DKDKTV - they're perfect for korean and cultural explanations, or Bookish Theory - she goes well into the art and literature side of things)
i cant wait how you guys will react once you finally understand what have been going on with all (yes, ALL) the MVs they released
If you confused,better google their discography and watch them one by one from the start,their debut album and the title song is "no more dream" and b side song "we are bulletproof pt.2" .also it can help you remember their faces^^.And u can watch the vid twice for only lyrics and the visuals i think that's better reaction😆
Oh and hi from indonesia^^
I can't wait till you guys get mindblown by all the information you're going to intake at the end of this.
For real...you don't see this. That's why we Love BTS
J Hope choreographed his dance in Boy Meets Evil. They had a hard start and they stay grounded by remembering what it took to get to where they are. They are just amazing people, and they appreciate their fans. I went back and watched their debut live performance and was amazed how their fans were there cheering them on and supporting them. ARMY literally were with them from the beginning.
Before watching the next video for the story line do not forget to watch blood sweat and tears Japanese ver. Japanese version has different music video and it is full of hints. So please do watch the music video of Japanese version.
"J-hope... How do you get to a point in life where you stay humble and get this far????"
The Bangtan Universe really began in their mvs in 2015 with I NEED U and Run. Blood Sweat and Tears came out in 2016 in their Wings album. During the time Wings came out, the Wings short films were also released and the "Live Trilogy EP III Trailer" was just a trailer for their upcoming tour at the time. (BTS used to label their tours as "trilogies") Of course they've released other songs with mvs along the way that do not connect with the BU. Songs such as Dope, Fire, Save Me, Not Today, or Mic Drop that all have choreography centered music videos don't connect to the BU.
Also Black Swan was released early 2020 so that song is newer and does not connect with these mvs. The meaning behind that song is about the fear of losing your passion and the music video is inspired by the film, Black Swan.
Also as Allen said, the lyrics to all the songs involved with the BU do not correlate to the actual story, so you won't find any clues in the lyrics.
However, the music video for Blood Sweat and Tears was inspired by the story of Demian by Hermann Hesse. So while the Wings short films completely ARE part of the BU, the only real things I personally can pick apart from this music video in particular that ties into the BU is JIN breaking and the flowers that are seen with him that are always reoccurring. Also, I'm not sure if this is on the playlist you guys are following but the Japanese version of the blood sweat tears music video is completely different and definitely follows the story more.
Also since you guys are curious about when each song or video came out, here's just a brief history lesson lol:
BTS has tended to make their albums in trilogies. From 2013, when they debuted, to 2014, they released 3 albums (2 Kool 4 Skool, O!RUL82?, and Skool Luv Affair) these were part of the "school trilogy". These focused on the problems that teenagers faced, oppression and the corrupt school system.
Then in 2015 they had the "Youth" trilogy with their albums "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life" pt1 & 2. This is where I Need U and Run came from and they discussed coming of age topics.
Now getting past their rebellious and growing up stages, we get to 2016 where they released Wings, which again is based on Demian and its themes on temptation.
In 2017 through 2018 we now get to the "Love Yourself" series. Here you will see the Highlight reels, which are major BU story points, Euphoria and Fake Love.
In 2019-2020, they then started the "Map of the Soul" series which is based on Carl Jungs theory of psychology. These held Persona, Shadow, and Ego, which you've reacted to already. However, songs such as those really relate more to the concept of Carl Jung than to the storyline.
I feel as if Fake Love was one of the last music videos that held storyline plots, because starting during the Love Yourself series, they began releasing "Notes" in their physical albums that served as "diary entries" for the boys' characters in the BU that help you understand the progression of the story. Also in 2019 they released an entire book of just those diary entries called "The Notes1". In the same year they also released the webtoon, Save Me. That's basically like a whole comic of the storyline somewhat so far and it makes things so much clearer. Of course I wouldn't recommend reading the the webtoon until after you're done watching all the video stuff.
I'm excited to keep watching your reactions! :)
Allen is so good at recognising the members! we told you it gets easier haha, I'm proud :)
Would you guys be into watching non-music video BTS related content between your usual storyline reactions? Because I think seeing them outside of MVs, hearing their speaking voices etc would really help with identifying and getting to know each member. Might also break things up ?? I can literally see how hard yall are concentrating on deducting each detail lol (SAME) and I don't want u to stress 😭. May I suggest 2 iconic videos to react to -
"BTS moments that butter my croissant" and "BTS moments that toast my buns" by kooflex these are easy and fucking legendary within the fandom and you don't need to know all the in-jokes to find it funny 🤪🥰
Thank you! Really great reaction. I appreciate your effort in recognizing the boys! Keep going!
Ya hurting all the army's hearts lol.
Allen is so done with you not being able to differentiate between them 😂😂
Basically,Jin is the main actor for BTS,most videos are focused on him & he's a pivotal character.The WINGS Era came before the LOVE YOURSELF Era and Blood Sweat & Tears is from the WINGS ERA.
It is based on the book Damien by Herman Hesse.
At the beginning of the MV Jin is looking at a painting & he seems mesmerized by it,the painting is called THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS by Peter Bruegel and it's basically about how the rebel angels were removed from heaven.
In the MV there is also another painting the LANDSCAPE WITH THE FALL OF ICARUS...this painting can be seen at the point where V jumps & falls down.If you look closely you can see Icarus in the water on the right side of the painting. In Greek mythology,Icarus was the son of Daedelus the master craftsman.They attempt to escape from the Island of Crete & Daedelus makes wings made of feathers & wax for his son.Icarus flew too close to the son & the wax melted therefore falling to his death.
There is also another painting in the video at the point where Jungkook is 'floating'..the painting is called THE LAMENT FOR ICARUS which is a painting by Herbert James Draper & it depicts a dead Icarus surrounded by grieving nymphs.This whole music video is pure art.
When RM starts the narration,we are shown Jin letting go of a balloon & tries to reach out to it only to realise it's too late.This symbolises the loss of his innocence as a youth.
Now the statue at the end of the vid that Jin kisses represents a fallen angel.When he's walking towards it we're shown a 'curtain' being lifted to reveal that V is indeed the fallen angel and he's been trying to tempt Jin to accept the evil (he's been successfull in tempting the others that's why V is constantly looking at Jin & he covered Jin's eyes).Once Jin kisses the statue we're shown V looking behind & smirking & he has wounds that symbolise where his wings were. So Jin is basically giving into temptation to accept both Light & darkness.
It's a bit long but I hope it's helped you guys out 💜
It's so interesting that ya'll are recognizing how Jimin was lacking in the other videos because he really was not getting that much camera time in older MV's. It wasn't really until later on until you really see him more and I'm so here for it!
Story Time... I'm a bit late for this comment and I'm sure you've read others like it, but this is a theory that some ARMYs have that connect to the "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" MV. This MV focuses on the temptations of this world, such as lust, greed, envy, etc. And the boys are imprisoned by their temptations or trapped within this darkness. Basically, it's hurting/killing them, and it's difficult to run away from it. However, Jin possibly helped save them when he kissed the statue. He set them free from their temptations. However, when he did, he ended up sacrificing himself, which is why Jin's face was cracking at the very end.
Remember that this is only a theory. No one really knows the real story behind it, but this is my favorite theory so far. Maybe it'll help give you some ideas. I'm happy that you chose to take this journey with the rest of us ARMYs. 💜💜💜
P.S. I love that Alex can tell the difference between members by their lips. 😂🤣 But honestly I was the same way when I first started. Don't lose faith, Alex. You'll catch on eventually if you keep working hard and study their faces in your own time. Also, I'm proud of Allen for being able to learn so quickly. He on point so far.
I think they remain humble even they're so big now because they start with nothing I mean they struggles a lot in their early days, that's why theyre so down to earth cause they experience the worst before the best, and that's what we love about them they're not taking advantage of their popularity instead they use that as a way of helping us to improved and developed our selves for the better.
Allen is so me with my mom naming each member during the songs and music videos! Fighting Alex! Don't give up! 💜
😂😂
They are humble because of their roots and culture. Even when they were getting popular they had hardships and haters on their back. They almost broke up in 2018 because of the way they were treated. They stayed together for only two reasons - their love and support of each other and Army backing them to reach even higher. Which they did in 2019? Army is strong just for them.
Allen was defenetly right! 22:26 | this was the album "Wings" (2016) actually the concept and design of this album were inspired by the book "Demian" by Hernan Hesse, greeting from Argentina!
Omg guys, I love the way your expressions changed when Jin a.k.a World Wide Handsome kissed the statue. 😂💜️
Can you see my hand ... NO because they are that high ...guys best line 💫😎
I’ll start making a PPT about their albums and eras so you can have a reference. I won’t include the storyline though so you wouldn’t be confused.
Yassss
I reckon tho, that even if they’re not in order and you’d seem some out of the list that eventually when coming around to them again in the list that you’d be able to pay attention more to other details and pick up more from what you’ve seen~? But I get the confusion... you may still feel that going through the whole timeline tho until watching the end when you watch the explanation videos LOOOL. But you did get some of it in the last video that had me all *surprised pikachu face* 😂 but well... good luck boys! 😂✌🏾
i freaking love your videos
just to make it clear this universe the blood sweat and tears one is very metaphorical like Jin kissing the statue is kind of like him making a contract "sealing a deal" with the devil and if you see V had black wings and in bst he just had the scars. and the contract makes him break (jin)
Also black swan is from 2020 whereas bst is 2016
Fake love era (2018) will give you more clues also black swan has a art film version (it was released first) which is very metaphorical i hope you check it out once you reach there
Also the second video is actually a video announcement for their world tour concert in 2017 imagine if this was the trailer announcement how epic the concert would have been! And the concert it was if not the best bts have few of the best concerts but the wings tour literally felt like jumping inside a storybook
thank you for reacting to this
The story in BS&T is essentially their conflict between resisting tempatation and giving into it. Throughout the video, you can see each member giving into temptation. From a theory I read earlier, V is convincing Jin to also choose the path of evil. The statue may be referring to something Jin desires. It is much more complex than this - there are even references to Icarus in the video (when V jumps off the balcony, a painting called "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", is in the background). Just like Icarus flew too high and fell when the sun melted the wax holding his wings together, V too fell into darkness (him falling into water and drowning) after killing his father.
guys dont worry about watching other recent videos, not all videos are related to the Bangtan Universe storyline so all the other videos you saw, most of them are part of the new era which storyline is Carl's Jung Psychology Theory, thats another era we are in right now. Black Swan is part of this new era. You will get there at one point. You can still react to other stuff don't worry that much about it :)
You're doing good to figure out who is who boy. I'm proud 🤣
They stay humble because of what they've been through. They didn't forgot where they started (unlike the other artists). When they're starting, they didn't just learn about music like singing, dancing, and rapping. They also learned what life really is (Attitude). They learn how to be a good person that even you're already in the top you have to stay humble. (I already seen all of their videos from american hustle life-bon voyage-run bts-etc) and if time comes and you two will also see that, you'll understand😊
i suggest you to watch their solo performances first for a while then follow the storyline again. it will help you more when you get to know them better you can understand it better. there are many videos and songs that are not related to BU so i guess its better to watch them first so it wont be confusing.
The School Trilogy came first, then the HYYH Trilogy, next the Youth era, after that the LOVE YOURSELF era and final the MAP OF THE SOUL Era. BTS usually put out albums in trilogies and eras, then a repacking and Japanese album version.
Don't forget the School Trilogy which is 1. the 2 COOL 4 SKOOL album, 2.O!RUL8,2? album, 3.SKOOL LUV Affair album and their SKOOL Luv Affair special repackaging album. Then their HYYH Trilogy 1. Dark & Wild album 2. Most Beautiful Moments in Life Part 1 album, 3. Most Beautiful Moments in Life Part 2 album and the repackaging album of Most Beautiful Moments in Life: Young Forever. The Temptation & Youth Era is the Wings album and You Never Walk Alone album. The Yourself era was three albums 1. Love Yourself: Her, 2. Love Yourself: Tear and 3. Love Yourself: Answer.
Also their Japanese albums are amazing...the Wake Up Album from the school trilogy, Youth Album from The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Speak Yourself Album and Map of the Soul: 7 The Journey album(Japanese MV's too).
King Allen knowing all the faces
lips , eyebrows .eyes... jaws
especially lips...
thats the magic of separating them and remembering who is who
U guys shld see their Blood sweat & tears dance practice...its amazing! 👌
Humility is bts virtue
I’m gonna say this politely and respectfully because I love you both and your channel, but Alex please let Allen finish his statements before cutting him off. There’s at least 2 times he didn’t get 2 words out and you completely cut him off. If it doesn’t bother him then I guess do whatever but it bothers me. He wanted to say something about how crisp their dance moves were and you cut him off. It’s rude to me cuz it’s both of y’all’s channel. Also please listen to him when he says to let the videos finish (last 2 videos he told you that and you chose not to and y’all missed stuff). Again love you both but would like to hear what Allen has to say also. Otherwise great reaction and Allen great job on recognizing the guys! Alex you’re getting there, it just takes time. Can’t wait to see y’all react to the explanation videos when it’s time! 😁
Alex here! Please read the comment sections prior to posting!!!! As we mentioned, these videos are recorded in 5-7 video increments, which means that if there is "Constructive" criticism that is given in the first video, we are unable to actually do anything until we record the next videos!!!!! this is number 41 i've responded to today about the same topic so that goes to show that we actually take the time to read and respond to all the comments!! Preciate youu!!!
Yay thanks enjoyed your reaction 😘
We appreciate you!!!
Allen, the master of recognition ahhaha
Allen was on to something about evolving. The concepts are not about a single persons experience. It's just like art where each piece ties into the larger message.
At this point we can say Allen is a certified ARMY. Allen speak more please, seems like Allen understands more than Alex cause 1) he recognized the members instantly thus he can relate the story easily 2) he noticed things in common in previous stuff they reacted to current one 3) he need more speak time frfr haha
Not that Alex isn't good or anything, Alex speaks from a normal non-army or new army perspectives and I think it's quite entertaining when he got confused or got it wrong haha. Also, he see it as general perspective(the dance the lyrics the visuals), not really focus on the storyline itself which is okay because BTS stuff are related to our general life. So keep it up Alex. Good job.
this is my 1st comment...you guys are hillarious...always amaze me everytime i watch your reaction..Alex you need more focus on who is who...i think Allen almost got it right..almost...almost...hehehe.. keep on watch more BTS MV...you guys will get them right soon...take care and stay healthy...i support your channel..and thank you for reacting to BTS...love you guys.
You should react to more bts live comeback stages and their live concert footage like so what, anpanman and you should react to bts stage mix videos and jungkook euphoria live stage at Osaka it will blow your mind I swear.
Every MV is so good so its impossible to give them in order🤣🤣
Whatch the explanation for this one MV hahaha.. you gonna be done 😂😂
They are huge but they remain humble. They are role models for all. This song was made in 2016
Allen we see you groovin, maybe it's time to check out the dance practice videos with these MVs :)
Fact. They started nothing and their company (agency) bighit was near in bankruptcy. Bts almost saved their company. There's one person who's in the big hit also said if he is part of the bts he would demand some position since the company become big because of them. But they still remained humble. It's based on the interview.
I know y'all brains hurt 😂😂. I think it's time to take a small break from the storyline and get to know the boys a bit better. Some hilarious videos that are popular are bts being being extra af in America or bts being extra af at award shows. Or you can look at one of their performances like their MMA 2018 or 2019 performance (they might try to block the video tho 😪). 💜💜💜
MMA 2018 !!
Sometimes they forget they're millionaires, they will get excited over noodle cooker and free food 😂😂😂😂💜💜💜. They're amazing, one of the things I love about them. React to BTS forgetting they're millionaires
okay, so Blood Sweat and Tears was taken from the story Demian from Herman Hesse. technically it's about losing innocence and giving into temptation. so the part in the end that Jin kisses the statue was supposed to be like Jin kissing V (Taehyung) and falling into temptation. the wings were cut off because he's a fallen angel. it's sort of tied into black swan as there's the wings too, but it hasn't been fully explained yet, because Jk also has shadows and symbols of wings in his Wings trailer and in the Japanese version of BS&T.
Im seeing some Allen Stans and Alex Stans. Lets just all be OT2 XD.
Allen your excitement when Blood Sweat and Tears starts is so adorable
About what confuses you... Think of the term, "pay the price for kissing the devil"
So basically V represented the existence of the "devil" or the "shadow".
And in the BTS Universe storyline note that Jin was the one offered by the white cat to be able to time travel to the past to save the boys.
When he agreed to do so, it was like signing his soul to the devil. Because no matter how many times he time travelled he couldn't save all of them. There would always be one who dies or get in prison.
In the BTS Universe, RM gets imprisoned for assault. JIMIN commits suicide by drowning himself in a tub for being locked up in a mental institute by his own parents. JHOPE who thinks he has narcolepsy, keeps falling asleep at the wrong place at the wrong time so in every time line he either severely injures himself or die falling off the stairs, JK dies from falling off a building(and for some reason he always falls on Jin's car or somewhere very near Jin, SUGA dies from suicide via arson (as he keeps burning the rooms he is in), or V ends up killing his dad causing him to get arrested and given death sentence.
So imagine Jin repeating that over and over again, according to the BTSU notes that they included in the albums during this era, Jin couldn't count(or already forgotten how many times) he has gone back in time in attempt to save his friends.
So the image of him breaking after "kissing the devil" is an imagery of his mental state after going back over and over again and witnessing his friends die over and over again.
Also V was made to represent the "devil" because no matter how many time lines Jin goes back to, V is never saved, no matter how many times he successfully saves all of them, V always ends up killing his dad and getting arrested to be sentenced to death. V's situation is like the saying "a past that can't be changed" that's why Jin keeps going back.
You guys should really read the webtoon "Save Me" in Line webtoon. It s an official BigHit collab with a webtoonist to portray a sneak peak of the BTS Universe storyline.

The symbolic wings may look the same. But they mean different things.
The wings in WINGS is a symbol for breaking out of a shell and finally growing up to reach adulthood.
The wings in black swan is a symbol for accepting your shadows.
they are so humble because the whole way they b came famous they were shit by just as many ppl as ppl that liked tyem
I remember how excited I was when I could easily distinguish the members visually and then by their voices. Don't beat yourselves up at all though because it's easily confusing with their hair color changes OR when they all have same tones like all dark. It will be cool when it clicks for you guys because it will seem so simple 😁
haha . . . always trust Allen when trying to figure out who is who

Allen,I liked your theory. I wish I had thought of that.😊
you guys have to watch bts blood sweat and tears in japanese version next (watch it before the bts highlight reels) because it sheds more light on the storyline!
Black swan is new.
So this is basically the order.
HYYH- the youth trilogy
WINGS- inspired from Damien by Hermann Hesse
LOVE YOURSELF TRILOGY
MAP OF THE SOUL-inspired by Jungs map of the soul by Murray Stein
Black swan is from MOTS 7.
So for understanding the blood sweat and tears music video and concepts please check out this video.
It is one of the best explanations made for it.
th-cam.com/video/5tlgAUE6yjg/w-d-xo.html
Wings is 2016
Love yourself 2017 to 2018
MOTS is 2020
Black Swan is in a differnet Era, Map of the soul. You are in the wings era. A lot of references from the book Demian by Herman Hesse. the intros that RM reads in the beginning of the short films and in this MV is from Demian.
Im sorry but i kept on laughing so hard when ex is struggling knowning who's who😂😂😂 the confusion on his face lmao.
You guys will really need to watch explanation videos to really put up all the pieces together and then after watching all the storyline related videos you have to watch "Bangtan Universe Explained by XCeleste" because this story is also a webtoon (like a manga made by BTS too) so all the missing pieces are explained in the webtoon, but XCeleste puts up the pieces together pretty well. After you see this everything will make sense.
The guy who was eating donuts is so smart😂😂💜
I've always found, when people tell new reacters to ignore the lyrics, to be very disrespectful to the lyrics BTS have worked hard to write, and very wrong as well. The lyrics, like the music videos, are chock full of meaning and written with intention, not just to be catchy and carry the song along. Do NOT ignore ANY lyrics. While you can't be literal with the words (for example, in I Need U, when the boys sing "I need you, girl", it's not actually a girl to whom they are referring), the words hold great meaning for both the individual song's message, as well as to the greater Bangtan Universe. You simply have to understand that they are being symbolic, and apply the lyrics to the theory growing in your mind. One main rule to go with when reading lyrics is that in this era of BTS and going forward, their songs are (almost) never about a romantic relationship. When there is a female, or reference to a "girl", it's almost always going to be representative of each other, or ARMY, or MAYBE a vague significant other (romantic or otherwise).
But please, please, DON'T ignore the lyrics, and I hope ARMY will STOP telling people that.
