I have to say that Spring Day is probably their most important song in terms of impact, political statement and so much more. The explanation video made by Italian ARMY (linked) is an absolute must imo. There's sooo much to unpack, it'll truly blow your mind and clench your heart: French art, classical litterature, a national tragedy, greed, corruption, oppression, Liverpool FC,..... I promise you won't regret it and it'll elevate your respect for BTS to a whole other level, just like it did for me and millions others. 💜 What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day Mv: th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html
I'm sorry you guys are having to endure these things right now. Thank you for sharing with us. This song and mv are masterpieces, and I really think you guys would like the Explanation vids that are out there for it. Thanks again.
Honestly, watching C&R’s reaction and their own interpretation of the song as well as how they deal with longing & grief was very therapeutic. This is definitely the most unique & meaningful reactions to this song. Along with Italian Army’s explanation of this song, I’d say C&R’s reaction to this song were a couple of poignant works which came out of the creation of Spring Day.
That song is precious because it has so much connotation to listeners individually and to South Koreans specifically due to its tie to a Sewol ferry accident which was a national tragedy.. SK has a tv program Immortal Songs and one of their famous folk singers sang Spring Day in a traditional way as a mourning song. When I heard it I burst into tears. For me it's a mourning song but also one which consoles you. 💜
Thank you for being respectful to Spring Day, our Queen. I hope you watch Spring Day explained by Italian ARMY. The lyrics and the MV images/dance choreography tell different stories. It's heavy but it's important. 💜
This is one of their songs that truely makes me cry everytime i hear it, this song reminds me of my nana i lost a couple of years back but i know that ill see her again and this song brings me that comfort and Vs line “ you know it all your my best friend” pulls at my heart strings so much and it makes me cry alot. This so is so full of emotion and you can here it in their voice and the way they move and sing also this song us about the sewol tradgey that happened where about 300 (mostly children) died, there is an explanation video that ecplains what happened which you shuld react too
I am so impressed that you have felt it as a mourning song right away. It was meant to comfort the nation after a nationwide tragedy, which we realized when we saw the video. The song is so very delicate, and that has always been what I love about it
you should look up the back story of this song, it was from a horrible tragedy in South Korea and the loss of children's lives, the politics of covering up the truth still stings those parents and families who needlessly lost loved ones it is insane. I remember the story in teh news. Sewol Ferry going down. It is still one of the most popular and loved anthem songs in Korea today. 무대에서 드럼을 연주할 건가요? This is what sets BTS apart from other bands, they address issues in society that need reflection and somehow help us and them to get through it all with hope. After their military service is complete they will start a new chapter... one of their producers stated they will be addressing such things, a new story. Take-Two will be released digitally this week on the 9th, a new song from BTS - this is a celebration month of the their 10th anniversary and celebrating ARMY.
I agree this explanation (the one by Italian ARMY) is really necessary to understand the scope of the song and especially of the mv. The problem is that I'm not sure that they are really able to support such a quantity of emotions.
@@hobiscrapbts Yeah, they should definitely be warned about some of the content in that video. I think it's the best video out there to explain about the Ferry tragedy and I honestly believe everyone who gets into BTS should watch it someday, but I also understand not everyone can handle the depth of which Italian ARMY goes into the Sewol tragedy. I've seen a few reactors have to stop their reaction or not post it at all because it was too hard on their mental health to watch the rest.
Thank you for your honest and open reactions. The video is full of hidden references about the Sewol tragedy. Many artist and musicians in Korea were blacklisted for speaking out on the government corruption and poor handling of the situation. While the song wasn't written for the tragedy, it is believed that the video is directly related and the song fits it perfectly. I also recommend watching the explanation video but only when you are feeling a bit stronger as learning about the details is even more heart wrenching. 💜💜💜
I think it's important to recognize the political atmosphere at the time this song came out: the tragedy happened three years ago and the president had already been impeached and was heading out of office, and South Korea was celebrating. There was no "blacklisting" happening by the time the MV came out. Before, yes, hence why BTS didn't publicly donate to the cause, only privately. But there wasn't much risk releasing this video, like many ARMYs try to say.
BTS has an almost uncanny ability to grab hold of our innermost feelings and helps us process them, not avoid them. I honestly have never experienced an artist quite like them. For me, these days I hear the hope in this song more than the loss. But whatever anyone hears, BTS' music can be there with you. Thank you for the reaction.❤
The lyrics were written mainly by Suga and RM. It's about the friends Suga and RM lost after joining BTS. Then it became very relatable to the Korean Ferry accident where many students were aboard. I've read the comments below. They have info on the explanation videos. They are a Must See. A sad Tragedy! You will understand the significance of this song! And why it means so much to the families who endured so much pain. It IS a boohoo song. Thank you for your vulnerability and tenderness as you react.
I actually saw an update about this topic "In November 2020, Both Pdogg and BTS implicitly confirmed that this song, while based on to personal stories of RM and SUGA, is linked to the Sewol ferry disaster at the same time. Pdogg, on KBS Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend where Song Sohee sang a rendition of this song, said this song was written to comfort the society, which then had a gloomy atmosphere. Jin, when asked whether this song is about a specific event, said, “It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing” on BTS’ interview with Esquire."
@@bree77301 The song was written about different things, from the personal experiences of those who wrote it, like RM and Suga. And they used the MV to do a memorial to the victims. They have explained this many times over the years and most recently in their new book. Not sure why people are still asking like it's a mystery or up for debate.
@@ipurpleu1668 okay (? But what I said it's still true... Pdogg did say that about the song and Jin did say the things I posted in my previous comment.
@@bree77301 You mistranslated Jin's comment anyway. He said it's about "sad events", not "a sad event". He was saying sad situations and events someone goes through, he wasn't hinting at a specific major event.
Spring Day explained by Italian ARMY is essential to fully understand the depth of this song... however Trigger Warning - it is extremely intense and very, very,, very, very heartbreaking... BTS risked blacklisting for this MV. Spring Day has never left the top 100 South Korean major charts and is to this day still charting after 6 years (329 weeks).... currently at 44 on GAON CHART and 70 on MELON CHART
I lost my best friend to cancer last year and this song rips thru me😢😢😢😢 especially when they sing about "youre my best best" it just hurts double. I appreciate your honest and sincere reaction and yes im in tears. Please do take the advices of Army to watch the explanation (a few Army below has posted the link below) of the song and you will probably need more tissues. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think the amazing thing about this song is that they manage to capture all the stages of grief in one song. And when you read the lyrics by themselves, it reads like a beautiful poem. On a lighter note, I feel like you guys have really gone through the BTS emotional wringer. Maybe your next reaction can be something a little bit happier? Mikrokosmos is an interesting one. Or maybe Boyz With Fun which is just pure crazy fun.
This song has been released for over 6 years, nothing about it was intentionally sung too sad, with soft, slow sad emotions or too many instruments to make it that. But just enough honesty, great lyrics to really relate to others and honesty of vulnerability and hope. This is why this song is still to this day, topping Korean charts since its first debut. Like "RM" said, if you don't like our songs, listen to Spring Day. You'll know... it's one of their master pieces. Alot of it people believe this was dedicated towards the Korean Seweol tragedy... sooo sad. May all those souls RIP and people who find this song regardless of what we all think is behind the song, can find some comfort with this song...💜♥️ I hope after this reaction, you can dive deeper to the song and what it supposedly was dedicated intentionally for. Hopefully then you can probably have a better understanding and react to this a second time so you can get out what we all do with this beautiful song!!
Your empathy and humanity are what draw us to you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. 😪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻 The explanation videos are worth watching but you will be wrecked.
It’s indeed timless queen never heard a song that could capture grief in such true and beautiful way like this. Thank You for this reaction i was crying with You feeling these emotion with my whole heart💜Borahae
Like several BTS songs the song and video tell different stories. RM wrote the song lyrics about missing a friend he was separated from, but the scenes in the video have very specific meanings others here mentioned. You may not be ready for the explanation video which will make you sad and angry. It can wait.
Creo que había visto dos o tres reacciones suyas a BTS, pero hoy (25 de diciembre) me puse a revisarlas todas... y no había visto reaaciones tan sinceras y lloradas como las de ustedes. Gracias por ser reales, sinceros... BTS es lo mejor que le ha pasado a mi vida y a la de muchas personas más... Un gran abrazo para ambos desde Chile. Borahae
i`ve been BTS fan ARMY over 8years, know all their songs, like them all .... but Spring day is my fav no 1 song ... thank you reacting this beautiful song.
I watched the documentary about the ferry disaster and the over 300 young teenagers who died through corruption and the callus treatment of those in authority. So when I listened to this, watching this I cried till my throat hurt. This song is of such signifficance nearly every image has a relevance the washing machines are like the portholes of the sinking ship. The hanging shoes of a person who died a cultural tradition to hang them on a tree. The reference to Snowpiercer. Theres so many layers in this. It might be the one time you might want to understand the references all Koreans will understand. It is one of the greatest pointless tradgedies and because it was children dying unnecessarily as parents watched and nobody allowed to help. Then the lies. An explaination is needed to experience how this is really a protest song. Made at a time when the government was suppressing the truth.
Another highly emotional BTS song is Dead Leaves best seen live with English lyrics. I also find My Dear Friend which is only available in lyric video format very emotional. Both tracks are tear jerking, highly relatable and beautifully composed by Suga aka Agust D.
I’m sure that others have told you that Spring Day can not truly be appreciated by westerners without the help of one or both of the explanation videos. The first one by Italian ARMY is longer and well, in Italian with English subtitles, but goes into more depth behind the events that helped inspire the song of which there are hidden references to throughout the music video. It also talks about the political fall out of those evens and the artists including BTS that helped bring that about. The other video is shorter, in English, briefly explains the tragedy but focuses more on the to art, literature, and film that are in the video and how those relate to the unfortunate incident that inspired the music video. Leading to the conclusion that the music video, if not the song itself is a criticism of the then political corruption in South Korea.
The song was never about the tragedy. It was about missing people gone from out lives through different circumstances. The video is another thing. That was about the tragedy and nuanced on with many other issues facing Korean society. Am I Wrong is their most controversial song. In the lyrics and Dance, it was directly against the administration at the time.
If you need a cheerful BTS song, I just watched and can heartily recommend a live stage performance of So What. There are several and it's always great. Watching them have so much fun with army is good for the soul. Skipping while rapping 😂 one show has a water fight... I really enjoy your thoughtful conversations, and that's not what that song is about. I'm not even doing for a reaction. I just think it would make you smile 😂
Dynamite made me an army Spring day has the special place in my heart Magic shop is my healing song Not today is my motivation song Honestly I love all BTS songs. I love our boys so much and all army out there 💜
For me, I heard this song a little after V told us his Grand Mother passed, and all though I know what motivated the writing of this song, I always think RM wrote it to comfort him. I hope you react to the different theory or explanation video which is so much deeper than the surface. On a happier note, please check out the behind the scenes, it will make you smile.
If you really want to dive deeper into the group as a whole may I really request 2 videos. BTS the Bangtan 7 by Taylor and The Most Beautiful Life Goes On by Rice Squad. I am 69 years old who discovered these extremely talented young men in October of 2015 with their vide Dope. I have heard LOTS of music in my 69 years, but I never experienced the feeling I get when I started watching more things about them. To say that they are inspiring is such an understatement. They are so very talented, so very humble and people who set a really high standard of how to be really good people that anyone who watches them can really learn how to be a good person.
This song can be interpreted how you want it to be and your interpretations are spot on in my opinion. Now, BTS has never and probably can never say this, but the song is about a ferry tragedy in S. Korea where a lot of young people died and there was a lot of controversy over that incident. There is an explanation video by an Italian fan/ARMY that explains a lot of the props and what they mean relative to the ferry incident. It's pretty incredible and worth a watch even if you don't react to it. That said, during the pandemic, BTS sang this "live" in a Tiny Desk Home Concert and RM's introduction to it basically was using the song to represent the pandemic and the Spring Day being the end of it. BTS were missing the times they could go on tour and do live concerts (since one of theirs got postponed and then cancelled). Obviously no one knew that pandemic would last so, so long! Anyway, it just goes to show that there is no wrong interpretation the way they wrote the lyrics. It's a sad but beautiful song. Thank you for the reaction.
Thank you for sharing your experience; losing loved one is a difficult ordeal -- i appreciate that you both were able to capture the emotions conveyed through the lyrics, the best we can all hope for when experiencing a loss is to eventually find peace; there is an explanation for this video that will provide a clearer perspective behind the creation of the video and the images presented-- if u are both up for it, it is very emotional; if u do want to react to the explanation video, i highly recommend the one by the Italian Army, it has actual footages of the event that took place ---- this song is often referred to as the "queen", as it has not left the Korea charts since its release in 2017 - 💜💜💜
Others may suggest the Italian ARMY explained video. This is my favorite: th-cam.com/video/Tye1ONFeKis/w-d-xo.html Wonderful reaction. Your intuition and interpretation was dead on. Your emotional maturity is so impressive and expressive. Never change. Never hold back. 💜💔💜
I definitely agree that watching the explanation video is important as this mv refers a tradegy that happened in 2014 where over 300 people drowned in a ferry accident. About 250 of the casualties were middle school and high school kids, their teachers and general population. The explanation video by an Italian army goes deeper into the corruption of the government because of greed. The corruption goes all the way to the top of the government, the president.
Ustedes son realmente maravillosos! Entienden perfectamente el propósito de las canciones, la mayoría piensa que sus canciones se tratan sobre relaciones sentimentales pero en general es sobre lss relaciones humanas y sobre amor propio.
I always cried so hard whenever i heard this song. This song just gives me the feels when i just let out all of my pain. I really love your reaction guys.💜💜💜😭😭
I sometimes feel like this song is a rite of passage for new ARMYs. We don't suggest it right away. We build trust with new ARMYs and reactors, by suggesting a variety of songs. And we want to know that we can trust the reactor will be authentic, because this song means so much to us. When we feel you are ready, we recommend it, we will watch it with you, we will cry with you, we will share our stories with you. And we will tell you that there is even more to the MV. I see there are already comments about watching at least one of the explanation videos. If you choose the Italian ARMY explanation, may I suggest turning down the sound. It is in Italian, and she is speaking at a very fast pace. I like this explanation video because she includes details of the Sewol ferry and the aftermath, including why Spring Day had such an impact when the tragedy happened three years before. BTW, V putting his head to the track, that was how we used to listen to see if a train was approaching. We could hear it in the railing long before we could hear it in the air. Good piece of knowledge if you have to cross a train bridge across a river or trestle across a canyon.
I have never interpreted the beginning with Tae as so many have. I thought it was common knowledge that you felt the rails for vibration to tell if a train was coming, but maybe not. I see so few people mention this, though I think Italian Army does in their explanation video. The song and the mv are about missing someone dear to you. He is waiting.
Thanks for reacting to Spring Day. I really enjoyed your commentaries in every single reaction to BTS videos so far. Keep up the good work! Please watch the Spring Day explanation video by Italian ARMY because there are lots of hidden meanings in the MV that should not be ignored.
Guh right at the beginning, I'm on the verge of tears with you being on the verge of tears. The song always makes me miss my dad, who passed a couole if years ago. The video, man the easter eggs in there is a masterpiece. Just to hide their message from the govt at the time. If you check out Italian Army explanation of the video, be prepared to. Youll get angry on behalf of so many people.
I would strongly recommend the explanation video done by Italian Army, but it is a very heavy video and you may not be up for it. Also dont feel you need to film a reaction to it. I just think it is a very good video for better understanding this music video and what it means to the Korean people.
I truly appreciate your reactions as they are heartfelt and open. May you find peace and hope in music, as I do, every day. Borahae from Portugal. I believe you know the origin of this song. Peace to all those who lost their lives in the ferry accident and to their families.
Spring Day is the purest expression of grief I've ever heard. Even if you don't know anything else about it - or about the video - it's just the essence of loss. That desperate yearning for someone who has gone too far to follow. If you've lost anyone, you recognize yourself in this song - just like you did. Thank you for letting us see that. 💜 This isn't my favorite BTS song because it's something bigger than that. It's special, in a category of its own. The song is that all by itself, but the video - and its context - make it something that is so incredibly beloved. Oh - and at the start of the video, V is listening for a train that will never come - putting your ear to the track is how you know a train is coming. The alternate interpretation is possibly also intended, but this is a familiar thing for some of us who grew up near tracks. It adds a layer for me.
finally. I'm really scared to watch this reaction vodeo because: 1. this song makes me cry every time 2. i cried on one of your reaction videos ill watch this when im ready. thank you for doing what you do. 💜
I'm actually binge-watching your videos.. And it's not a good idea to watch this video after seeing Amygdala too.. I can't help but shed a tear too.. I miss and love them.
@@ayoidek6571 Thanks, I am. It did hurt to go through though even if it was my own choice. It's actually one of the things Epiphany inspired me to finally do but it was honestly long overdue. I truly appreciate the concern. 💜 Borahae 💜
three years ago spring day was the song that helped me a lot to experience greif. the unfortunate happened a year before that and i fell into an extremely bad place that was getting in the way of my daily life and future. yet before i met bts i never realized that i was avoiding facing my own emotions all that year and that it was the main reason why i was struggling so much with accepting what happened and finding a way to live on. it took me three months of crying every time i heard spring day to finally process the pain and make peace with it. i was still new to bts, i didn't have special emotional connection with them personally, didn't know a lot of their music yet, it was the very start of my journey with them, but spring day still was able to help me. even though the artist was a stranger to me, they gave me their hand. and getting deeper into their music and albums you find so many delicate expressions of life and you feel understood and supported and safe. the feeling of home
I really love your reactions. If you liked that song, you should react to the explanation of the meaning of the song. Trigger warning. Lots of tissues ❤
I always wonder why people think V putting his head to the track means a bad thing. It never entered my mind when I saw that scene. To me I always thought he put his ear to the track, listening for vibrations to tell if a train was coming. You know like the Indians did in the old black & white cowboy movies so they could hear the vibrations? It’s because steel carries sound better than air. It’s a sad scene because V is waiting and listening for it but the train (boat) did not make it to the station. 😢🕊️
Thank you for your very vulnerable reaction to this song. This song was charted number 1 in over 70 countries yesterday (Dec 2023). 6 years after it's release. It even beat out Mariah Carey's Christmas number 1.
I hope you take time to only watch the explanation videos people are mentioning once you are ready to. And many have said, the song mostly is what you mentioned- missing a friend that is gone, that you can't see. The video is thought to represent a tragedy. The song was actually even quoted when RM(Namjoon) was recently appointed as an honorary ambassador of the Korean Ministry of National Defense’s Agency for KIA Recovery & Identification. This ministry works to recover the remains of Korean War soldiers and return them to their families.
This song has NEVER left the South Korean chart since its release, it’s been 5+ years and it’s still always in the top 50 it’s crazy
6 years, 313 months this year. Our Queen song👸👸👸

Like "RM" said, if you don't like our songs, listen to Spring Day. You'll know... it's one of their master pieces. Alot of it people believe this was dedicated towards the Korean Seweol tragedy... sooo sad. May all those souls RIP and people who find this song regardless of what we all think is behind the song, can find some comfort with this song...💜♥️
I hope after this reaction, you can dive deeper to the song and what it supposedly was dedicated intentionally for. Hopefully then you can probably have a better understanding and react to this a second time so you can get out what we all do with this beautiful song!!
Your empathy and humanity are what draw us to you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. 😪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻
The explanation videos are worth watching but you will be wrecked.
It’s indeed timless queen never heard a song that could capture grief in such true and beautiful way like this. Thank You for this reaction i was crying with You feeling these emotion with my whole heart💜Borahae
Big Army hug…💜
On the first watch, it might seem like a simple song but if you watch the explain video, you will understand nothing is simple about this mv.
Like several BTS songs the song and video tell different stories. RM wrote the song lyrics about missing a friend he was separated from, but the scenes in the video have very specific meanings others here mentioned. You may not be ready for the explanation video which will make you sad and angry. It can wait.
Creo que había visto dos o tres reacciones suyas a BTS, pero hoy (25 de diciembre) me puse a revisarlas todas... y no había visto reaaciones tan sinceras y lloradas como las de ustedes. Gracias por ser reales, sinceros... BTS es lo mejor que le ha pasado a mi vida y a la de muchas personas más... Un gran abrazo para ambos desde Chile. Borahae
oh lord, correlating spring day and one more light is a sure way to make me cry
Thanks guys, appreciate your reactions.
i`ve been BTS fan ARMY over 8years, know all their songs, like them all .... but Spring day is my fav no 1 song ... thank you reacting this beautiful song.
Spring Day ladies and gentlemen is the queen of BTS
I watched the documentary about the ferry disaster and the over 300 young teenagers who died through corruption and the callus treatment of those in authority. So when I listened to this, watching this I cried till my throat hurt. This song is of such signifficance nearly every image has a relevance the washing machines are like the portholes of the sinking ship. The hanging shoes of a person who died a cultural tradition to hang them on a tree. The reference to Snowpiercer. Theres so many layers in this. It might be the one time you might want to understand the references all Koreans will understand. It is one of the greatest pointless tradgedies and because it was children dying unnecessarily as parents watched and nobody allowed to help. Then the lies. An explaination is needed to experience how this is really a protest song. Made at a time when the government was suppressing the truth.
the Queen!!!
This song and Bts Film Out make me cry every time as they are both about loss
Another highly emotional BTS song is Dead Leaves best seen live with English lyrics. I also find My Dear Friend which is only available in lyric video format very emotional. Both tracks are tear jerking, highly relatable and beautifully composed by Suga aka Agust D.
It really tugs at my heart.
I’m sure that others have told you that Spring Day can not truly be appreciated by westerners without the help of one or both of the explanation videos. The first one by Italian ARMY is longer and well, in Italian with English subtitles, but goes into more depth behind the events that helped inspire the song of which there are hidden references to throughout the music video. It also talks about the political fall out of those evens and the artists including BTS that helped bring that about. The other video is shorter, in English, briefly explains the tragedy but focuses more on the to art, literature, and film that are in the video and how those relate to the unfortunate incident that inspired the music video. Leading to the conclusion that the music video, if not the song itself is a criticism of the then political corruption in South Korea.
The song was never about the tragedy. It was about missing people gone from out lives through different circumstances. The video is another thing. That was about the tragedy and nuanced on with many other issues facing Korean society.
Am I Wrong is their most controversial song. In the lyrics and Dance, it was directly against the administration at the time.
My favorite song ever
If you need a cheerful BTS song, I just watched and can heartily recommend a live stage performance of So What. There are several and it's always great. Watching them have so much fun with army is good for the soul. Skipping while rapping 😂 one show has a water fight...
I really enjoy your thoughtful conversations, and that's not what that song is about. I'm not even doing for a reaction. I just think it would make you smile 😂
Dynamite made me an army
Spring day has the special place in my heart
Magic shop is my healing song
Not today is my motivation song
Honestly I love all BTS songs. I love our boys so much and all army out there 💜
You just make me cry with you😢 A big hug from Army.
For me, I heard this song a little after V told us his Grand Mother passed, and all though I know what motivated the writing of this song, I always think RM wrote it to comfort him. I hope you react to the different theory or explanation video which is so much deeper than the surface. On a happier note, please check out the behind the scenes, it will make you smile.
If you really want to dive deeper into the group as a whole may I really request 2 videos. BTS the Bangtan 7 by Taylor and The Most Beautiful Life Goes On by Rice Squad. I am 69 years old who discovered these extremely talented young men in October of 2015 with their vide Dope. I have heard LOTS of music in my 69 years, but I never experienced the feeling I get when I started watching more things about them. To say that they are inspiring is such an understatement. They are so very talented, so very humble and people who set a really high standard of how to be really good people that anyone who watches them can really learn how to be a good person.
This song can be interpreted how you want it to be and your interpretations are spot on in my opinion. Now, BTS has never and probably can never say this, but the song is about a ferry tragedy in S. Korea where a lot of young people died and there was a lot of controversy over that incident. There is an explanation video by an Italian fan/ARMY that explains a lot of the props and what they mean relative to the ferry incident. It's pretty incredible and worth a watch even if you don't react to it.
That said, during the pandemic, BTS sang this "live" in a Tiny Desk Home Concert and RM's introduction to it basically was using the song to represent the pandemic and the Spring Day being the end of it. BTS were missing the times they could go on tour and do live concerts (since one of theirs got postponed and then cancelled). Obviously no one knew that pandemic would last so, so long! Anyway, it just goes to show that there is no wrong interpretation the way they wrote the lyrics. It's a sad but beautiful song. Thank you for the reaction.
if you want to try something more silly... you can always watch Super Tuna :)
i love how honest are yours reactions, please continue 💜
The truth untold is also a great song
Thank you for sharing your experience; losing loved one is a difficult ordeal -- i appreciate that you both were able to capture the emotions conveyed through the lyrics, the best we can all hope for when experiencing a loss is to eventually find peace; there is an explanation for this video that will provide a clearer perspective behind the creation of the video and the images presented-- if u are both up for it, it is very emotional; if u do want to react to the explanation video, i highly recommend the one by the Italian Army, it has actual footages of the event that took place ---- this song is often referred to as the "queen", as it has not left the Korea charts since its release in 2017 - 💜💜💜
When you are feeling strong enough, watch the explanation video. It’s so powerful 💜
Thanks for the reaction ,guys ❤️🩹🫂
Others may suggest the Italian ARMY explained video. This is my favorite:

Wonderful reaction. Your intuition and interpretation was dead on. Your emotional maturity is so impressive and expressive. Never change. Never hold back. 💜💔💜
Thank you both 💜
I definitely agree that watching the explanation video is important as this mv refers a tradegy that happened in 2014 where over 300 people drowned in a ferry accident. About 250 of the casualties were middle school and high school kids, their teachers and general population. The explanation video by an Italian army goes deeper into the corruption of the government because of greed. The corruption goes all the way to the top of the government, the president.
Ustedes son realmente maravillosos! Entienden perfectamente el propósito de las canciones, la mayoría piensa que sus canciones se tratan sobre relaciones sentimentales pero en general es sobre lss relaciones humanas y sobre amor propio.
I always cried so hard whenever i heard this song. This song just gives me the feels when i just let out all of my pain. I really love your reaction guys.💜💜💜😭😭
Everytime i tell yeah. I can not control my emotions. 😢
I sometimes feel like this song is a rite of passage for new ARMYs. We don't suggest it right away. We build trust with new ARMYs and reactors, by suggesting a variety of songs. And we want to know that we can trust the reactor will be authentic, because this song means so much to us. When we feel you are ready, we recommend it, we will watch it with you, we will cry with you, we will share our stories with you. And we will tell you that there is even more to the MV. I see there are already comments about watching at least one of the explanation videos. If you choose the Italian ARMY explanation, may I suggest turning down the sound. It is in Italian, and she is speaking at a very fast pace. I like this explanation video because she includes details of the Sewol ferry and the aftermath, including why Spring Day had such an impact when the tragedy happened three years before.
BTW, V putting his head to the track, that was how we used to listen to see if a train was approaching. We could hear it in the railing long before we could hear it in the air. Good piece of knowledge if you have to cross a train bridge across a river or trestle across a canyon.
I have never interpreted the beginning with Tae as so many have. I thought it was common knowledge that you felt the rails for vibration to tell if a train was coming, but maybe not. I see so few people mention this, though I think Italian Army does in their explanation video. The song and the mv are about missing someone dear to you. He is waiting.
Can't wait till you find out its true hidding meaning of this song 🤯🤯😔😔💜💜
Bless you for reacting to our Queen with such genuine heart. Thank you for being so respectful to the deep meaning of this song.
Thanks for reacting to Spring Day. I really enjoyed your commentaries in every single reaction to BTS videos so far. Keep up the good work!
Please watch the Spring Day explanation video by Italian ARMY because there are lots of hidden meanings in the MV that should not be ignored.
Big hug guys 💜
Even if you don't watch it on TH-cam, please watch the explanation video. It's a sad one, though. Makes me cry every time I watch it.
I watched this vid for the nth time but still, i cried with you!!😢 A most sincere reaction fr you guys💜💜
Guh right at the beginning, I'm on the verge of tears with you being on the verge of tears.
The song always makes me miss my dad, who passed a couole if years ago.
The video, man the easter eggs in there is a masterpiece. Just to hide their message from the govt at the time.
If you check out Italian Army explanation of the video, be prepared to. Youll get angry on behalf of so many people.
yes this really so emotional song and i love it. thank you for ur reaction
It made me cry once again
I would strongly recommend the explanation video done by Italian Army, but it is a very heavy video and you may not be up for it. Also dont feel you need to film a reaction to it. I just think it is a very good video for better understanding this music video and what it means to the Korean people.
vouch vouch
I truly appreciate your reactions as they are heartfelt and open. May you find peace and hope in music, as I do, every day. Borahae from Portugal.
I believe you know the origin of this song. Peace to all those who lost their lives in the ferry accident and to their families.
Thank you for reaction 💜, same , it's a masterpiece , evertime i hear it i couldn't hold my tears
It's sad but so beautiful
Love you guys💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Spring Day is the purest expression of grief I've ever heard. Even if you don't know anything else about it - or about the video - it's just the essence of loss. That desperate yearning for someone who has gone too far to follow. If you've lost anyone, you recognize yourself in this song - just like you did. Thank you for letting us see that. 💜
This isn't my favorite BTS song because it's something bigger than that. It's special, in a category of its own. The song is that all by itself, but the video - and its context - make it something that is so incredibly beloved.
Oh - and at the start of the video, V is listening for a train that will never come - putting your ear to the track is how you know a train is coming. The alternate interpretation is possibly also intended, but this is a familiar thing for some of us who grew up near tracks. It adds a layer for me.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful, heartfelt reaction!! Take care of yourselves in the harsh weather💜💜
Thank you.
Italian Army’s explanation will be very emotional.
finally. I'm really scared to watch this reaction vodeo because:
1. this song makes me cry every time
2. i cried on one of your reaction videos
ill watch this when im ready. thank you for doing what you do. 💜
Spring Day is such an important song! You should watch the explanation video!
Obrigada pela reação linda, um enorme abraço do Brasil, Borahae guys 🥰 🥺🥺💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇧🇷
Keep an eye out for the Spring Day tree which shows up in later content - as a sign of better days ahead. 💜
I'm actually binge-watching your videos.. And it's not a good idea to watch this video after seeing Amygdala too.. I can't help but shed a tear too.. I miss and love them.
꼭 그렇지는 않다고 하지만 우리에게 상처로 남은 세월호 아이들을 생각하게 하는 가슴아픈 노래로 제 기억에도 있습니다. 함께 울어주심 감사해요...
방탄은 사회문제에도 눈 감지 않었던 훌륭한 그룹이에요!
Loved the bed/relationship analogy. (Newly divorced so yeah, that one hit really close to home. 😅)
Hope you’re doing well 💜💜💜
@@ayoidek6571 Thanks, I am. It did hurt to go through though even if it was my own choice. It's actually one of the things Epiphany inspired me to finally do but it was honestly long overdue. I truly appreciate the concern.
💜 Borahae 💜
i love love LOVE ur reactions. Ur words ur videos, vibes
im so thankful. Thank you❤
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE EXPLANATION VIDEO
Just discovered this channel. I enjoy your commentaries
best of the best ‼️ thankyou
three years ago spring day was the song that helped me a lot to experience greif. the unfortunate happened a year before that and i fell into an extremely bad place that was getting in the way of my daily life and future. yet before i met bts i never realized that i was avoiding facing my own emotions all that year and that it was the main reason why i was struggling so much with accepting what happened and finding a way to live on. it took me three months of crying every time i heard spring day to finally process the pain and make peace with it. i was still new to bts, i didn't have special emotional connection with them personally, didn't know a lot of their music yet, it was the very start of my journey with them, but spring day still was able to help me. even though the artist was a stranger to me, they gave me their hand. and getting deeper into their music and albums you find so many delicate expressions of life and you feel understood and supported and safe. the feeling of home
I really love your reactions. If you liked that song, you should react to the explanation of the meaning of the song. Trigger warning. Lots of tissues ❤
I really love your reaction guys, thank you 💜💜
I always wonder why people think V putting his head to the track means a bad thing. It never entered my mind when I saw that scene. To me I always thought he put his ear to the track, listening for vibrations to tell if a train was coming. You know like the Indians did in the old black & white cowboy movies so they could hear the vibrations? It’s because steel carries sound better than air. It’s a sad scene because V is waiting and listening for it but the train (boat) did not make it to the station. 😢🕊️
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇦🇷 Argentina
Seeing ppl react to this always emote tears…in all of us
Thank you for your very vulnerable reaction to this song. This song was charted number 1 in over 70 countries yesterday (Dec 2023). 6 years after it's release. It even beat out Mariah Carey's Christmas number 1.
I hope you take time to only watch the explanation videos people are mentioning once you are ready to. And many have said, the song mostly is what you mentioned- missing a friend that is gone, that you can't see. The video is thought to represent a tragedy.
The song was actually even quoted when RM(Namjoon) was recently appointed as an honorary ambassador of the Korean Ministry of National Defense’s Agency for KIA Recovery & Identification.
This ministry works to recover the remains of Korean War soldiers and return them to their families.
Oh i dont know why but i just watched this right after Amygdala and now my eyes are puffy. .😢💜
just: thank you for your videos
