As it was based on Herman Hesses book Demian, which is about loss of innocence and giving into temptation, the green symbolised poisoning of innocence as its sort of a poisonous, toxic colour Itd be easier to understand the MVs if you new the members better, as they all have a slightly different role to build the story, but your interpretation was super facsinating! PS when the music stops to talk for a moment, thats a quote from the book. And i think ive heard the organist is a character in the book?
@@RA-zr2fz It's not Demian himself who is the organist, but a character named Pistorius, who acts like a temporary mentor to the main character Sinclair
Maybe the green is like the envious emotions that allow BTS to succumb and given to their temptations. Like the poisonous emotions that push them into temptation
They actually have something called BTS Memories and it has a lot of behind the scenes content. These shooting sketch videos are shorter versions of the videos in the BTS Memories collections. I like them because you get a longer more in-depth look at the shooting process for all of their music videos, live performances, rehearsals, photoshoots etc. So far they have them for 2014 - 2019.
This is the only TH-cam'er that i don't care when he pauses. Honestly i want to hear him talk because i want to hear what he has to say about the video. With every other youtuber who pauses and talks i literally say "shut up" and skip ahead🤦♀
These shooting sketches are just short snippets of the MV filming! They go into more depth in their "Memories of (insert year)" DVDs. Each year they release DVDs of behind the scenes content from throughout the whole year. But those are paid content, compared to these free BTS Episodes on youtube. The Memories DVDs cover everything from MV shooting, photoshoots, practices, concerts, concert prep, the life of touring, etc.
The color green has a different meaning depending on the country and the culture, but the most common emotion associated with green is 'Envy'; Shakespeare referred to it in his work like 'Othello', now we say "being green with envy". This song is part of their album 'WINGS', the intro was a solo by J-Hope called 'Boy meets evil' (th-cam.com/video/iJJSh-eEdRk/w-d-xo.html). So this song is about young boys discovering temptations (sex, drugs, etc.) and having to choose between good and evil as you saw with the 2 statues of an angel and a demon. Some of them already fell like V who lost his 'wings' and RM who's smoking a weird substance. In this video, Jin is the one being tested, and he eventually falls too when he kisses the statue. Even the paintings in the MV have their importance, for example, we can see the famous painting of Icarus who burnt his wings and fell as he wanted to fly higher despite his fathers' warnings. Everything in BTS's MV has a meaning, nothing is there by accident. You can find many videos and articles explaining every detail if you're interesting. BTS sometimes give guidelines to help us understand what they wanted to say in the song, what they were thinking about when they wrote it, but overall they like to keep the interpretation open, they love watching reaction videos and see us coming up with different interpretations.
I think one reason why the behind the scenes on youtube are so short is because every year they release a "Memories 20XX" DVD that shows everything behind the camera in detail. There's an extended blood sweat and tears behind the scenes look in the Memories 2016 DVD but you'd have to find a way to watch it off camera. These DVDs normally average 10 hours of footage! It's a good marketing tactic imo~ haha
Since you're watching the MVs out of order, some of the intended meanings will be lost on ya. This era is about temptation & coming of age. Based on the novel Demian, by Herman Hesse. And this was definitely not on a tight budget. When we say the budget used to be tight, we mean it. 🤭 I'll keep requesting I NEED U (19+) which begins their fictional storyline.
Hey, the green is the colour of the absinthe. The MV and album are inspired from Herman Hesse's Damien, the absinthe was a very popular alcohol during that time in Europe, because high concentrates of it gives you hallucinations and a lot of artists were drinking it. I also love your interpretation of them being/becoming art! It's very interesting take, one that I haven't seen in army spaces!
In my opinion, green symbolises temptation! I think the whole video and concept is really about temptation, to want something evil that you shouldn’t have, and to eventually give in and be controlled by that desire.
You might be interested in their “Save Me” music video. It is one of their older videos and lower budget, but it is a continuous shot video if that is something you enjoy seeing. The behind the scenes for it shows how they moved to make it all work. Thanks for doing this video, can’t wait to see more!
Green probably for the absinthe. RM had absinthe, which is notoriously associated with the color green. Hence its nickname the 'green fairy'. *edit since I'm not on a treadmill now: Nowadays, I think you're more likely to find absinthe as a literary reference than in a bar. And what you find in a bar won't be "true" absinthe, since it won't have hallucinogenic properties. RM is shown early in the MV with a common way of drinking absinthe, with a sugar cube that's lit on fire to melt into the bitter drink. In literature, the symbolism of absinthe usually correlates with indulgence, decadence, temptation, etc. The characters typically drinking absinthe are societal outsiders, often drinking while posing existential questions about morality. These characters are oftentimes questioning their sexuality. Given the context of the MV, I think it’s safe to say absinthe represents temptation. In the Japanese MV version, RM somewhat forcefully has JK drink absinthe. JK starts hallucinating and then throws up, but the damage is already done. His eyes have been “opened” by temptation. And then there’s the overt references to the novel Demian, which is also very much about temptation and figuring out one’s own moral code when your parents have given you a binary between black and white, but you find reality tends to be grey.
About the green symbolism, the green drink RM was having was supposed to be Absinthe I heard. It is known to have a toxic and hallucinating ingredient. And from the book Demian, used as the main motif of this m/v, its protagonist Sinclair did some painting and he mentioned he is fond of Oxide Chromium's green color. Chromium is also known to be toxic even though it is still used in art supplies nowadays. These toxic green materials might symbolize temptations general youth could face in their life.
They don’t actually have a target audience. Their audience actually pretty evenly across the age groups. Most are people in their 20s and 30s (about 20 percent each) and then around 10-15 percent in the younger then 20, 40s, and 50s+ group
Every brand has a target audience. Yes, it can reach to different varieties of people but there’s always a target, that makes every business related decision easier.
I think BTS' target audience is basically themselves. They make it as they would like it, and it helps that many of them are old and young souls. And then we as fans also like it, not just because it is what BTS like, but we can feel their passion for everything they put out and that it makes sense to all ages, religions and nationalities, and doesn't feel too conceptually narrow minded as I feel other music/products are. :D
Tho I get what you mean, I think what he meant was that the target audience is (potentially new) fans. And not professionals, who like to see all the technical stuff rather than the members behind the scene.
please react to their song called spring day. it's a legendary song and has such a really deep meaning. it's about a tragedy that happened in korea. you should also react to the explaination of it. btw i love your reaction and really looking forward to the next reaction :)
ok but you should react to adust d's Daechwita, because the mv is just stunning. Agust d is a solo procent of suga from bts! it came out last year and suga himself took a big part of basically directing it!
We're always interested in insightful opinions/reactions of the content we already enjoy and have enjoyed for years and years! (just look at how this video is 5 years old and we adore it enough to still see new reactions after all this time lol) and his are so good!!!
Thanks for your thoughtful reactions! I really appreciate your insights as a professional, and also your artistic interpretation is one of my favorites. I’ve never though about the idea of them wanting to be immortalized by literally becoming the art itself. There are no wrong interpretations of art in my opinion, just different ones. So thanks for bringing something new to the table. 💖
I'm sure you have found out by now that the song and music video is heavily inspired by Demian by Herman Hesse (which the leader RM read while he was on tour). In basic words it's about temptation. The difference between wanting to sin and resisting against sinning is shown in the form of angels. Lots of imagery of life and death, also good and evil.
I’m really enjoying your reactions to these so thank you - it’s always fun to hear different peoples perspectives on art especially from people who know more of the process. I also just wanted to say I know ARMY can be quite overwhelming bc there’s so many of us and we’re very enthusiastic. You’re going to get A LOT of suggestions and A LOT of information. Take your time, react to what you want to and enjoy the process! Half the fun of a BTS video is digging through and finding all the references they make, both to their own work and to other art. The deeper you go the more interesting it gets which is one of the things I love about them. We love discussing this stuff which is why people will share so much in the comments, so please do take it as friendly discussion! We don’t expect you to know stuff like that on a first watch! My personal interpretation of the green is that it represents corruption bc loss of innocence/temptation are big themes in the song and the book it’s based on. But I love the idea that it’s them sort of melting into art!! PS we would also like 15 min making of videos
I am late but i found your channel and I really appreciate your videos, you don't sugar coat it and give your honest opinion on the videos. Also the reason why their behind the scenes are short is because the full longer in depth behind the scenes are released in their year end "Memories of (X year)" ( so for this one you'll get it in the memories of 2016 DVD" ) DVD where you'll see all the behind the scenes of their schedules from concerts to award shows and MVs even photoshoots, of each year.
There is actually an explanation video to this ( Blood sweat & tears: What does it mean By the channel "Don't worry I'm not afraid") that explains some important details and connects them to the book(Demian by Herman Hesse) and the other MVs. So if you're not planning on diving into the storyline I suggest you watch it ! It's so interesting ;)
Green is the colour of Absinthe which was popular drink in the late 19th, early 20th century especially by bohemian artists in Europe (about the time the novel ‘Demien’ is set). It has hallucinatory effect and had been used to help “creative” process. Here it symbolises boys losing their innocence, leaving childish things behind (as seen in the beginning of the MV). Suga’s rap contains the lyric “knowingly swallowing from the poisonous grail” meaning their willingness to give into temptation.
Came from blood sweat and tears mv reaction and now I got here. Really love all his reactions, he's noticed even the smallest details and appreciated art so much. This is WHAT I expected from a reactioner. New subscriber here! 🖐🏻
I really liked your interpretation of this video, that was so independent and not tied to the BU (something, that ARMY instantly puts as a filter watching their videos and go looking for clues to the on going story line). I think your interpretation was very cool and lets this music video to kind of have an artistic meaning on its own. I wish behind the scenes was longer too! Sometimes now for their recent MVs we get more than one behind the scenes video, but they are shorter (for example for ON, Dynamite, there are a few separate behind the scenes). Anyways, my suggestion to check out WINGS short films next stays!
Between the 1st and 2nd floors of the two-story set, there is a sign that says "Chatroom 2, 3" (see 6:12 on the MV). The set is one of several references to a 2010 British movie called "Chatroom." Watch some trailers. Be sure you watch the one posted by Lemon Trailer. You will appreciate the set a lot more!!!
Green is the colour of envy + (in this MV) you often see green with smoke which portraits a clouded mind who is lost / gets deceived. (The biblical meaning of green is immortality)
*2013-2015 is when they weren't making alot of money (their company literally almost went bankrupt a few times, and used managers as actors and their cars as props)*
I've never watched BTS behind the scenes from the perspective of analysing sets and the cinematography, this is the first time and I'm exploring so much?? It's so amazing??
The scene with the chair in the water, J-Hope is the one doing it and the fact that a loud boom with the water shooting up, his composed posture in front shows what a great professional he is 🥰 (so proud). Hobi (J-Hope) is a the resident scaredy cat. Frightens and startles easily.
Isn't this cool? You are watching a BTS MV Reaction while a BTS Ad is playing. This guy deserved this 3-minute plus Ad. I hope you stay consistent in giving genuine reactions. 🤗
Their concepts and themes aren't simple and just about love, they have deep and complex stories for their songs. There are explained videos about the story behind their songs or MV, you can also watch those for your references. Nice reaction, btw! Keep that up! 🤗
My (extremely long-winded) thoughts, on the use of green: RM was seen drinking Absinth. In the late 19th- early 20th century, it was a drink popular amongst artists and bohemians (especially in France). Thus, the drink itself became associated with decadence. I felt it most when they were lounging about with green smoke/incense around them. They look positively debauched. And you really get the sense of them falling prey to vices. Many artists sought inspiration from "The green fairy", so there are a multitude of references in paintings and writings. I don't have any sort of arts degree. But from what I can tell, there is a prevalent use of greens, yellows and blues, in paintings from that era. (Vincent Van Gogh, comes to mind, for instance.) The blue walls/floors/ceilings, yellow fixtures and green tint give me that same vibe. For many years, the popular opinion was that Absinth must've had some hallucinogenic properties. But no studies have showed that to be the case. The effects are now thought to be widely overstated, probably no different to alcohol in general, but that Absinth got a particularly bad reputation due to the fact that those who imbibed it were considered less than respectable. I think there may be more factors as to why the drink was looked on as a corrupting influence, on both mind and body. Mainly, the prevalence of mental health-issues, in those with an artistic inclination. In a time where there was no real care, and a limited understanding about such matters. Add to that, the fact that some psychiatric disorders can worsen with age (bipolar, for instance), if left untreated. That could easily look like a result of such lifestyle choices. Not discounting the fact that quite a few of them probably had a bit of a drinking problem. Another possible cause, of a percieved decline in mental faculties, could be due to the paint they used. Or fumes from the paint stripper, in enclosed spaces. I recall reading something about some colors of the oil paint having lead in them, and that some artists used their lips to wet the tip of the brush, in order to make it pointier. Ingesting lead can cause behavioural changes, amongst other things. So depending on if and how often a person did it, it could've played some role in it. Well, that took a bit of a detour... If anyone is still reading; I hope you enjoyed the ride!
Wow, that's actually really interesting..I've definitely heard of the term 'Absinth' from somewhere, not sure where though. Thank you for sharing this!! 💜
Loving your interpretation that they are "immortalising" themselves into art.. this is why I watch reactions, to hear the many perspectives and takeaways. I do think that's the beauty in any creative art
Actually they do make slightly longer videos as part of the annual DVDs, but i agree a lot of people would love to have a deeper look at their entire process. They mostly work with Lumpens and his team for the music videos, he was part of the original small team of people working with BTS since the beginning and has created a name for himself now. Trust me when i say even an entire documentary just showcasing his work and the entire process would sell like crazy. I wish they'd do that some day. Love your reaction and inputs, many have suggested bunch of other videos to check so hope you do them. Have a good day/evening ❤️
I think the color green resembles pain or more specific their blood, sweat and tears. You see jimin crying in green, jhope shooting an arrow that splatters colors like green, RM drinking a green drink that looked more like it was spiked with green since it was clear before and jungkook eating a green drop that drops on his finger from above just like the drop that drops in RMs clear drink, maybe resemling a tear or sweatdrop.
Looking forward to the next videos. It’s nice to actually watch reactions that add perspective instead just some random person starring at their screen or screaming their heads off(you got a nice voice/tone btw)
green represents like a rebirth, youth, and new energy stuff like that so same way v said we was overcoming pain with his scene in this mv Jimin was crying green because when he took off the blindfold and could finally see clearly he was crying green because he is now "reborn"
In this MV, green means that toxic, poison, and forbidden sin. This MV theme is about young adults meet the temptations and corruptions. At this point of MV, they were already popular. Of course, having good cameras are essential even back then in the beginning. For Hig Hit didn't compromised the quality of their are work.
A lot of their videos are connected in what’s called the Bangtan Universe. It tells a story of 7 friends who share the same names as the members (their full names, not stage names) but these characters do not share the same personalities or backstories as the actual members. The story kicks off in the MVs with I Need U and Run, though Blood Sweat & Tears functions as an abstract representation of what’s happening in the story-Jin (the one whose face cracks at the end) trying to save his friends from self-destruction. People often interpret the ending of BS&T as Jin either making a deal and sacrificing himself to save his friends, or falling victim to temptation himself. Also, I think the green throughout BS&T represents poison, which is a reference to the poisoned grail in the lyrics of the song-(“the grail was poisoned but I drank it anyway.”) It represents them still seeking and indulging that which is slowly killing them. In the Bangtan Universe, a lot of the characters are extremely self destructive. Some abuse alcohol while another abuses drugs, others vandalize. The path they initially follow leads directly to their downfall.
this mv shoot was a big gamble. Its the turning point in their career where they break away from their low budget (still amazing) mvs. Before this, was the i need you/run series (hyym era). This helped them get the recognition they needed to win their first daesang 💜 this wings era also got more global recognition
First: thank you again for your reaction, I really enjoyed it! About the MV: In my interpretation green is associated with poison and the forbidden fruit. This story is about the temptation of falling for the devil, sins and all those stuff. Jin, the one who kissed the statue, made a deal with the devil so the other ones could flee. He is the pivotal character in the story line throughout most of BTS albums back then. RM (the one in the pyjama) is drinking the poison, Jimin (the one with the blindfold) is crying the poison and Jungkook (the lollipop kid) is eating a droplet of poison. They all kinda tried to save each other but only Jin made it. He offered himself to save his friends. The flowers at the end of the MV when he cracked up also have a greater meaning which one is only able to understand when one dives deeper into the story. Some other things they didn't show: RM broke the glass in the big hall at the beginning, that's why he is called the god of destruction. He broke so much equipment and lost so much other stuff it's crazy. Jimin had a really hard time with BST. Earlier (2013/14) he was one of the more bulkie members of BTS but since 'Spring Day' he softened up. During BST he struggeled a lot with his body image and underate a lot (from what we know), so he had not much energy left. Originally Suga/Yoongi (the one who played the organ) would have covered Jins eyes at the end but he/they just couldn't stop laughing so they switched him out with Tae (devil wing man) which is in my opinion the better match since he personifies the devil. This is all I can think of at the moment. Ah, one more: Herrman Hesse is a German author, so they included a but of German in the MV. It was written above the mirror in one scene.
BTS is complex. Everything about them. Everything. This creates an enormous amount of artistic license for the artists involved with production and as much detail and depth as fans could possibly imagine or desire. Also please remember dance is a primary form of communication for BTS. I think the theme of temptation is pretty clear from their dance if you take another look at it.
3:00 Green seems to symbolize material temptation, such as money. Green is a representative color for money, just as Emerald City's green color metaphorically reflects the U.S. dollar in the Wizard of Oz.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but a really cool thing (to me anyway) is the fact that BTS and their company BigHit Music have chosen to use the same director and production company for almost all of their videos. The director is Yong Seok Choi and the LUMPENS is the video creation company. They have been in charge of pretty much all the MV's since “No More Dream” in 2013.
Green is a base color for old paintings. All historic painters first painted their canvas green and then painted the actual picture over it. The green base made other colours stood out more and made them realistic or something, I dont rememder its long time since I was in art school. Maybe there is these green details like green tears here because their blood sweat and tears are the base for BTS music... Their art
@@LoveTheBasics Thank you Also it could be visual representation of temptation, infatuation and corruption. Brilliance of both meanings are that it doesn't have to be one or another, they perfectly coexist Also, This is an excerpt from nicki swift article about meaning of the song: "While some fans may think that BTS's lead single "Blood Sweat & Tears" from their album "Wings" is about how hard they've worked as a band, it is actually about their willingness to sacrifice themselves in the name of love. "Kiss me, it's okay if it hurts / Just make it as tight / As that I can't feel the pain anymore / Baby, it's okay if I get drunk / I'll drink you in deep now / Deep into my throat / The whiskey that is you," they sing. Clearly, the song sees temptation become so great, it's literally intoxicating. Read More: www.nickiswift.com/427058/the-real-meaning-behind-btss-blood-sweat-tears/?"
The BTS Episodes are the free content that they post on TH-cam, but there are also extended videos for the filming of each music video that include 10-15min of footage. These are included on the BTS Memory DVDs - highly recommend if you can find the footage online (because its very hard to get them for versions earlier than whichever the last one released is, which is currently 2019)
Adding to my comments from the other reaction to actual video: all the members are tempted. The green shows you they each fall. It starts with RM falling into Absinthe, then Jungkook joins him. J-Hope falls into despair, Yoongi and Jimin try to hide with the masks. Jin is exploring and open, but he too falls and cracks. V smirks at the end. Lucifer won! He has your blood, sweat and tears.
the color green usually stands for envy just in general. like “her fur coat makes me green with envy” (off of google) so i kind of get that from the mv because it’s about temptation
Green represents balance, growth, harmony or self control. Blood sweat and tears is about youth temptations and growing up. Understanding the colors meaning in a video is a major key point on a artistic view. Every color has its meaning to show the viewers the situations or the feelings of the scene being created. Without understanding the meanings of the colors will make your art (videos) disconnected. Learning these meanings will require a lot of research and reading. And lumpens (the director) and the creative team knows exactly what they are doing.
I thought of the green like poison... but I liked you interpretation as well 🧐 As you said, that’s what is great about art and this MV was definitely a piece of art in all the possible aspects! ✨ I’m so fascinated at all the different professions and knowledge that this single MV was analysed by, things I didn’t even know existed, things I didn’t pay attention to and so many amazing interpretations... it just adds more and more meaning to all the piece and also to the hard work of everyone! 🤩💞🎇🎆
you won't ever understand this mv entirely only by watching 1 time. You can start an artist at any point but BTS is different. we all army needed to start from the start. that's why we army feel like we were with them from the 1st. you need to watch their whole discography to understand their next. it's like a book. you can't start from anywhere.
I've been a BTS Universe theorist for a while now, but I've also done extensive learning of how to observe classical art and its various symbolisms, and BTS uses a lot of that type of classical symbolism in this video, specifically uses of color and objects to tell the story. The green throughout the BU videos symbolizes a combining of blue and yellow -- these two colors are a combination that is found very frequently in especially the BU videos. I've come to find that whenever green is present, it means two timelines (past and present in particular) are coming together, the yellow and the blue. Notice how Namjoon's room has the GREEN smoke floating up into the BLUE and YELLOW room? That means that he knows what's going on in that room without seeing it specifically.
In the past, the color green was a color used to portray the devil because of the face, body and claws of the devil are illustrated in green that's why JK said that the MV focuses on the color green.
I'm very late here to watch these reactions, but the more lengthy behind the scenes of all their activities are included in the memories DVD of each year. So the whole making of Blood, Sweat and Tears MV is there in the memories of 2016 DVD in a whole disk which actually you have to buy and pay to get. so yeah that's that... Also, I love your reactions and it's so amazing watching reaction videos from an expert POV of a certain sector(i.e. Filmmaker, Producer, Music Coach, Dancer, Fashion Designer etc.) rather than a random reactor because then you get to know more about the little things BTS and the crew put effort into while creating a music video.
The green color generally refer to "Envy" , witch feat with the meaning of the song (Temptation) . The one who cry "green tear" after being unfolded is Jimin, not the same guy than the one who kiss the statue, and have is face "cracked" at the end: it's Jin. For a little help: V is the one who lost his wings; Suga the one who play organ and who is dress in blue in the deep blue room; RM the guy who drink green liquid and smoke; Jungkook the one who "fly" like Icarus; and J Hope the one who play with water and shoot an arrow with his bow.

As it was based on Herman Hesses book Demian, which is about loss of innocence and giving into temptation, the green symbolised poisoning of innocence as its sort of a poisonous, toxic colour
Itd be easier to understand the MVs if you new the members better, as they all have a slightly different role to build the story, but your interpretation was super facsinating!
PS when the music stops to talk for a moment, thats a quote from the book. And i think ive heard the organist is a character in the book?
I hope he will read it
Yeah Demian (the tempter in the book) is the organist!
@@RA-zr2fz It's not Demian himself who is the organist, but a character named Pistorius, who acts like a temporary mentor to the main character Sinclair
@@sugarcakey oops, thanks for the info, I misremembered!
Maybe the green is like the envious emotions that allow BTS to succumb and given to their temptations. Like the poisonous emotions that push them into temptation
They actually have something called BTS Memories and it has a lot of behind the scenes content. These shooting sketch videos are shorter versions of the videos in the BTS Memories collections. I like them because you get a longer more in-depth look at the shooting process for all of their music videos, live performances, rehearsals, photoshoots etc. So far they have them for 2014 - 2019.
THIS!! I was just about to comment this! 😆😆
@@AllisonWonderland Great minds think alike girl 🤣
Thanks! I’m new.
But because the memories are paid content you won't find them on yt, maybe on dailymotion.
No way ! As a photographer I always thought that their Behind The Scenes were way too short. Thanks for the tips ! :)
This is the only TH-cam'er that i don't care when he pauses. Honestly i want to hear him talk because i want to hear what he has to say about the video. With every other youtuber who pauses and talks i literally say "shut up" and skip ahead🤦♀
Well thank you! :)
Agreed
And so do i❤
Yeah me too
Agree..
I like your interpretation, but I'm pretty sure the green symbolises temptation/evil/loss of innocence
Yea that’s probably the intended interpretation lol
These shooting sketches are just short snippets of the MV filming! They go into more depth in their "Memories of (insert year)" DVDs. Each year they release DVDs of behind the scenes content from throughout the whole year. But those are paid content, compared to these free BTS Episodes on youtube. The Memories DVDs cover everything from MV shooting, photoshoots, practices, concerts, concert prep, the life of touring, etc.
Ohhh okey see that makes sense then
LoveTheBasics that video was made on 2016 which is 4 years ago and a half. Not 3 years ago.
You should definitely react to Dewchita and Spring day! Some of my personal faves!! Dewchita especially, super cinematic!!
*Daechwita
I second the motion 😊
Daechita!
Yes
Yess! And also ON MV (not the kinetic manifesto)
There's a Japanese version of the song and it has an mv as well. It's REALLY different and I'd be so interested to see your reaction
Up
oh but i would be careful with that, because the japanese mvs tend to get copyright strikes!
@@alexc1060 I actually think he stops and adds his pov enough to avoid copyright strikes.

The song is about temptation, so that explains the green, as well as the MV in and of itself.
The color green has a different meaning depending on the country and the culture, but the most common emotion associated with green is 'Envy'; Shakespeare referred to it in his work like 'Othello', now we say "being green with envy".
This song is part of their album 'WINGS', the intro was a solo by J-Hope called 'Boy meets evil' (th-cam.com/video/iJJSh-eEdRk/w-d-xo.html). So this song is about young boys discovering temptations (sex, drugs, etc.) and having to choose between good and evil as you saw with the 2 statues of an angel and a demon. Some of them already fell like V who lost his 'wings' and RM who's smoking a weird substance. In this video, Jin is the one being tested, and he eventually falls too when he kisses the statue.
Even the paintings in the MV have their importance, for example, we can see the famous painting of Icarus who burnt his wings and fell as he wanted to fly higher despite his fathers' warnings. Everything in BTS's MV has a meaning, nothing is there by accident. You can find many videos and articles explaining every detail if you're interesting.
BTS sometimes give guidelines to help us understand what they wanted to say in the song, what they were thinking about when they wrote it, but overall they like to keep the interpretation open, they love watching reaction videos and see us coming up with different interpretations.
I think one reason why the behind the scenes on youtube are so short is because every year they release a "Memories 20XX" DVD that shows everything behind the camera in detail. There's an extended blood sweat and tears behind the scenes look in the Memories 2016 DVD but you'd have to find a way to watch it off camera. These DVDs normally average 10 hours of footage! It's a good marketing tactic imo~ haha
And heavily copyrighted, they sell the videos on Weverse shop so you can't react to them on camera
Since you're watching the MVs out of order, some of the intended meanings will be lost on ya.
This era is about temptation & coming of age. Based on the novel Demian, by Herman Hesse.
And this was definitely not on a tight budget. When we say the budget used to be tight, we mean it. 🤭 I'll keep requesting I NEED U (19+) which begins their fictional storyline.
Hey, the green is the colour of the absinthe. The MV and album are inspired from Herman Hesse's Damien, the absinthe was a very popular alcohol during that time in Europe, because high concentrates of it gives you hallucinations and a lot of artists were drinking it.
I also love your interpretation of them being/becoming art! It's very interesting take, one that I haven't seen in army spaces!
In my opinion, green symbolises temptation! I think the whole video and concept is really about temptation, to want something evil that you shouldn’t have, and to eventually give in and be controlled by that desire.
You might be interested in their “Save Me” music video. It is one of their older videos and lower budget, but it is a continuous shot video if that is something you enjoy seeing. The behind the scenes for it shows how they moved to make it all work. Thanks for doing this video, can’t wait to see more!
Green probably for the absinthe. RM had absinthe, which is notoriously associated with the color green. Hence its nickname the 'green fairy'. *edit since I'm not on a treadmill now: Nowadays, I think you're more likely to find absinthe as a literary reference than in a bar. And what you find in a bar won't be "true" absinthe, since it won't have hallucinogenic properties. RM is shown early in the MV with a common way of drinking absinthe, with a sugar cube that's lit on fire to melt into the bitter drink. In literature, the symbolism of absinthe usually correlates with indulgence, decadence, temptation, etc. The characters typically drinking absinthe are societal outsiders, often drinking while posing existential questions about morality. These characters are oftentimes questioning their sexuality. Given the context of the MV, I think it’s safe to say absinthe represents temptation. In the Japanese MV version, RM somewhat forcefully has JK drink absinthe. JK starts hallucinating and then throws up, but the damage is already done. His eyes have been “opened” by temptation. And then there’s the overt references to the novel Demian, which is also very much about temptation and figuring out one’s own moral code when your parents have given you a binary between black and white, but you find reality tends to be grey.
About the green symbolism, the green drink RM was having was supposed to be Absinthe I heard. It is known to have a toxic and hallucinating ingredient. And from the book Demian, used as the main motif of this m/v, its protagonist Sinclair did some painting and he mentioned he is fond of Oxide Chromium's green color. Chromium is also known to be toxic even though it is still used in art supplies nowadays. These toxic green materials might symbolize temptations general youth could face in their life.
They don’t actually have a target audience. Their audience actually pretty evenly across the age groups. Most are people in their 20s and 30s (about 20 percent each) and then around 10-15 percent in the younger then 20, 40s, and 50s+ group
Every brand has a target audience. Yes, it can reach to different varieties of people but there’s always a target, that makes every business related decision easier.
they probably had a target audience especially in the beginning but have now embraced the wider market they unexpectedly attracted
I think BTS' target audience is basically themselves. They make it as they would like it, and it helps that many of them are old and young souls. And then we as fans also like it, not just because it is what BTS like, but we can feel their passion for everything they put out and that it makes sense to all ages, religions and nationalities, and doesn't feel too conceptually narrow minded as I feel other music/products are. :D
Tho I get what you mean, I think what he meant was that the target audience is (potentially new) fans. And not professionals, who like to see all the technical stuff rather than the members behind the scene.
I think he meant they probably aren't targeting filmmakers that want to watch the process of how they make their mvs
please react to their song called spring day. it's a legendary song and has such a really deep meaning. it's about a tragedy that happened in korea. you should also react to the explaination of it. btw i love your reaction and really looking forward to the next reaction :)
ok but you should react to adust d's Daechwita, because the mv is just stunning. Agust d is a solo procent of suga from bts! it came out last year and suga himself took a big part of basically directing it!
Agust D - Daechwita
I agree. Hope you can react to Daechwita :-)
Imagine him reacting to idol lol. That mv is different from all their others with a lot of cgi and green screen effects
Hmmmm
Those view counts are popping off! 💪 never underestimate the BTS Fam!
I know!! It’s insane!
We're always interested in insightful opinions/reactions of the content we already enjoy and have enjoyed for years and years! (just look at how this video is 5 years old and we adore it enough to still see new reactions after all this time lol) and his are so good!!!
Thanks for your thoughtful reactions! I really appreciate your insights as a professional, and also your artistic interpretation is one of my favorites. I’ve never though about the idea of them wanting to be immortalized by literally becoming the art itself. There are no wrong interpretations of art in my opinion, just different ones. So thanks for bringing something new to the table. 💖
Of course!
@@LoveTheBasics you need to watch the explanation video about this song..
I'm sure you have found out by now that the song and music video is heavily inspired by Demian by Herman Hesse (which the leader RM read while he was on tour). In basic words it's about temptation. The difference between wanting to sin and resisting against sinning is shown in the form of angels. Lots of imagery of life and death, also good and evil.
I’m really enjoying your reactions to these so thank you - it’s always fun to hear different peoples perspectives on art especially from people who know more of the process.
I also just wanted to say I know ARMY can be quite overwhelming bc there’s so many of us and we’re very enthusiastic. You’re going to get A LOT of suggestions and A LOT of information. Take your time, react to what you want to and enjoy the process!
Half the fun of a BTS video is digging through and finding all the references they make, both to their own work and to other art. The deeper you go the more interesting it gets which is one of the things I love about them. We love discussing this stuff which is why people will share so much in the comments, so please do take it as friendly discussion! We don’t expect you to know stuff like that on a first watch!
My personal interpretation of the green is that it represents corruption bc loss of innocence/temptation are big themes in the song and the book it’s based on. But I love the idea that it’s them sort of melting into art!!
PS we would also like 15 min making of videos
This! ☝️👏
I am a fan of Alex's BTS M/V reaction video. One of the most genuine reviews. I always have time for the people with passion for their trade.
Thank you!!! That makes me happy
yeah.. subscribed!. cant wait to see more of his BTS MV reactions
"Immortalizing them as an art"
It just sound- heaven✨🤧👌👏
This MV came out 5 years ago(2016) not 3 years. And I like your reactions. You are kinda different from others...mmm more professional
I am late but i found your channel and I really appreciate your videos, you don't sugar coat it and give your honest opinion on the videos. Also the reason why their behind the scenes are short is because the full longer in depth behind the scenes are released in their year end "Memories of (X year)" ( so for this one you'll get it in the memories of 2016 DVD" ) DVD where you'll see all the behind the scenes of their schedules from concerts to award shows and MVs even photoshoots, of each year.
There is actually an explanation video to this ( Blood sweat & tears: What does it mean By the channel "Don't worry I'm not afraid") that explains some important details and connects them to the book(Demian by Herman Hesse) and the other MVs. So if you're not planning on diving into the storyline I suggest you watch it ! It's so interesting ;)
Green is the colour of Absinthe which was popular drink in the late 19th, early 20th century especially by bohemian artists in Europe (about the time the novel ‘Demien’ is set). It has hallucinatory effect and had been used to help “creative” process. Here it symbolises boys losing their innocence, leaving childish things behind (as seen in the beginning of the MV). Suga’s rap contains the lyric “knowingly swallowing from the poisonous grail” meaning their willingness to give into temptation.
Came from blood sweat and tears mv reaction and now I got here. Really love all his reactions, he's noticed even the smallest details and appreciated art so much.
This is WHAT I expected from a reactioner.
New subscriber here! 🖐🏻
I really liked your interpretation of this video, that was so independent and not tied to the BU (something, that ARMY instantly puts as a filter watching their videos and go looking for clues to the on going story line). I think your interpretation was very cool and lets this music video to kind of have an artistic meaning on its own. I wish behind the scenes was longer too! Sometimes now for their recent MVs we get more than one behind the scenes video, but they are shorter (for example for ON, Dynamite, there are a few separate behind the scenes).
Anyways, my suggestion to check out WINGS short films next stays!
singularity , black swan , ON , spring day , mic drop , idol , daechwita ..... You'll enjoy the MV
I actually really love your interpretation of how they're becoming arts and the green stuff are paint! It just sounds so meaningful
Between the 1st and 2nd floors of the two-story set, there is a sign that says "Chatroom 2, 3" (see 6:12 on the MV). The set is one of several references to a 2010 British movie called "Chatroom." Watch some trailers. Be sure you watch the one posted by Lemon Trailer. You will appreciate the set a lot more!!!
Green is the colour of envy + (in this MV) you often see green with smoke which portraits a clouded mind who is lost / gets deceived.
(The biblical meaning of green is immortality)
*2013-2015 is when they weren't making alot of money (their company literally almost went bankrupt a few times, and used managers as actors and their cars as props)*
I've never watched BTS behind the scenes from the perspective of analysing sets and the cinematography, this is the first time and I'm exploring so much?? It's so amazing??
The scene with the chair in the water, J-Hope is the one doing it and the fact that a loud boom with the water shooting up, his composed posture in front shows what a great professional he is 🥰 (so proud). Hobi (J-Hope) is a the resident scaredy cat. Frightens and startles easily.
Isn't this cool? You are watching a BTS MV Reaction while a BTS Ad is playing. This guy deserved this 3-minute plus Ad. I hope you stay consistent in giving genuine reactions. 🤗
Their concepts and themes aren't simple and just about love, they have deep and complex stories for their songs. There are explained videos about the story behind their songs or MV, you can also watch those for your references. Nice reaction, btw! Keep that up! 🤗
My (extremely long-winded) thoughts, on the use of green: RM was seen drinking Absinth. In the late 19th- early 20th century, it was a drink popular amongst artists and bohemians (especially in France). Thus, the drink itself became associated with decadence.
I felt it most when they were lounging about with green smoke/incense around them. They look positively debauched. And you really get the sense of them falling prey to vices.
Many artists sought inspiration from "The green fairy", so there are a multitude of references in paintings and writings.
I don't have any sort of arts degree. But from what I can tell, there is a prevalent use of greens, yellows and blues, in paintings from that era. (Vincent Van Gogh, comes to mind, for instance.)
The blue walls/floors/ceilings, yellow fixtures and green tint give me that same vibe.
For many years, the popular opinion was that Absinth must've had some hallucinogenic properties. But no studies have showed that to be the case. The effects are now thought to be widely overstated, probably no different to alcohol in general, but that Absinth got a particularly bad reputation due to the fact that those who imbibed it were considered less than respectable.
I think there may be more factors as to why the drink was looked on as a corrupting influence, on both mind and body.
Mainly, the prevalence of mental health-issues, in those with an artistic inclination. In a time where there was no real care, and a limited understanding about such matters. Add to that, the fact that some psychiatric disorders can worsen with age (bipolar, for instance), if left untreated. That could easily look like a result of such lifestyle choices. Not discounting the fact that quite a few of them probably had a bit of a drinking problem.
Another possible cause, of a percieved decline in mental faculties, could be due to the paint they used. Or fumes from the paint stripper, in enclosed spaces.
I recall reading something about some colors of the oil paint having lead in them, and that some artists used their lips to wet the tip of the brush, in order to make it pointier. Ingesting lead can cause behavioural changes, amongst other things. So depending on if and how often a person did it, it could've played some role in it.
Well, that took a bit of a detour...
If anyone is still reading; I hope you enjoyed the ride!
Wow, that's actually really interesting..I've definitely heard of the term 'Absinth' from somewhere, not sure where though. Thank you for sharing this!! 💜
React also to their official mv ON (2020) and the Behind the scene of that.. also ON kinetic mv and their behind the scene
even the teaser is already an art
I loved your take on the meaning. I think that these videos are great because they allow you to interact with them on so many layers.
Yessssss
Loving your interpretation that they are "immortalising" themselves into art.. this is why I watch reactions, to hear the many perspectives and takeaways. I do think that's the beauty in any creative art
I would love you to watch whole Bangtan Universe, mv + shooting sketches. I love your remarks!
I mean maybe at this point lol
Actually they do make slightly longer videos as part of the annual DVDs, but i agree a lot of people would love to have a deeper look at their entire process. They mostly work with Lumpens and his team for the music videos, he was part of the original small team of people working with BTS since the beginning and has created a name for himself now. Trust me when i say even an entire documentary just showcasing his work and the entire process would sell like crazy. I wish they'd do that some day. Love your reaction and inputs, many have suggested bunch of other videos to check so hope you do them. Have a good day/evening ❤️
YAAAAAAY
Wooo!
@@LoveTheBasics lol
I agree about having their shooting sketches be longer. I would like that too!
PLEASE WATCH "SAVE ME" AND ITS BEHIND THE SCENES!!! Save Me MV was done all in one take, I think you would really like it!
I think the color green resembles pain or more specific their blood, sweat and tears. You see jimin crying in green, jhope shooting an arrow that splatters colors like green, RM drinking a green drink that looked more like it was spiked with green since it was clear before and jungkook eating a green drop that drops on his finger from above just like the drop that drops in RMs clear drink, maybe resemling a tear or sweatdrop.
Looking forward to the next videos. It’s nice to actually watch reactions that add perspective instead just some random person starring at their screen or screaming their heads off(you got a nice voice/tone btw)
Not today, and spring day are great
You should check out the Japanese version of the blood sweat and tears and its sketch video... its just as cool
green represents like a rebirth, youth, and new energy stuff like that so same way v said we was overcoming pain with his scene in this mv Jimin was crying green because when he took off the blindfold and could finally see clearly he was crying green because he is now "reborn"
you r truely understand each and every line of bts songs.....and i love to listen it....thank youm
In this MV, green means that toxic, poison, and forbidden sin. This MV theme is about young adults meet the temptations and corruptions. At this point of MV, they were already popular. Of course, having good cameras are essential even back then in the beginning. For Hig Hit didn't compromised the quality of their are work.
This was the start of them getting recognition, the album rank higher in BB200 that shocked South Korea news platform..
A lot of their videos are connected in what’s called the Bangtan Universe. It tells a story of 7 friends who share the same names as the members (their full names, not stage names) but these characters do not share the same personalities or backstories as the actual members. The story kicks off in the MVs with I Need U and Run, though Blood Sweat & Tears functions as an abstract representation of what’s happening in the story-Jin (the one whose face cracks at the end) trying to save his friends from self-destruction. People often interpret the ending of BS&T as Jin either making a deal and sacrificing himself to save his friends, or falling victim to temptation himself.
Also, I think the green throughout BS&T represents poison, which is a reference to the poisoned grail in the lyrics of the song-(“the grail was poisoned but I drank it anyway.”) It represents them still seeking and indulging that which is slowly killing them. In the Bangtan Universe, a lot of the characters are extremely self destructive. Some abuse alcohol while another abuses drugs, others vandalize. The path they initially follow leads directly to their downfall.
Your interpretation “them becoming art” is insightful and an entrancing idea. Love your technical angle anyway!
this mv shoot was a big gamble. Its the turning point in their career where they break away from their low budget (still amazing) mvs. Before this, was the i need you/run series (hyym era). This helped them get the recognition they needed to win their first daesang 💜 this wings era also got more global recognition
Great reaction, there is a Blood Sweat and Tears Explained video if you are interested in the meaning behind the mv.
Please react to their MV "Idol"!!!!💜
First: thank you again for your reaction, I really enjoyed it!
About the MV:
In my interpretation green is associated with poison and the forbidden fruit. This story is about the temptation of falling for the devil, sins and all those stuff. Jin, the one who kissed the statue, made a deal with the devil so the other ones could flee. He is the pivotal character in the story line throughout most of BTS albums back then. RM (the one in the pyjama) is drinking the poison, Jimin (the one with the blindfold) is crying the poison and Jungkook (the lollipop kid) is eating a droplet of poison. They all kinda tried to save each other but only Jin made it. He offered himself to save his friends.
The flowers at the end of the MV when he cracked up also have a greater meaning which one is only able to understand when one dives deeper into the story.
Some other things they didn't show:
RM broke the glass in the big hall at the beginning, that's why he is called the god of destruction. He broke so much equipment and lost so much other stuff it's crazy.
Jimin had a really hard time with BST. Earlier (2013/14) he was one of the more bulkie members of BTS but since 'Spring Day' he softened up. During BST he struggeled a lot with his body image and underate a lot (from what we know), so he had not much energy left.
Originally Suga/Yoongi (the one who played the organ) would have covered Jins eyes at the end but he/they just couldn't stop laughing so they switched him out with Tae (devil wing man) which is in my opinion the better match since he personifies the devil.
This is all I can think of at the moment.
Ah, one more: Herrman Hesse is a German author, so they included a but of German in the MV. It was written above the mirror in one scene.
Green is often used to symbolize rebirth and renewal and immortality.
It came out in 2016!
YESSS, EXACTLY, not 3 years ago, but it's Ok, he is learning
I actually really enjoy that you do the behind the scenes
after watching your videos i definitely agree with you that hybe really needs to have longer videos on their artists shooting sketches 😭
this youtuber and jordan orme are the only youtubers i don't skip when he pauses the mv to talk
Thankyou so soo much for a beautiful reaction !!
BTS is complex. Everything about them. Everything. This creates an enormous amount of artistic license for the artists involved with production and as much detail and depth as fans could possibly imagine or desire. Also please remember dance is a primary form of communication for BTS. I think the theme of temptation is pretty clear from their dance if you take another look at it.
3:00 Green seems to symbolize material temptation, such as money.
Green is a representative color for money, just as Emerald City's green color metaphorically reflects the U.S. dollar in the Wizard of Oz.
It also symbolizes hell and bad luck in art
green symbolizes rebirth and immortality
You know he’s a keeper when he describe “sexy” on a Jimin freeze frame
hello i really appreciate your videos! As a film student it’s really entertaining 😄
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but a really cool thing (to me anyway) is the fact that BTS and their company BigHit Music have chosen to use the same director and production company for almost all of their videos. The director is Yong Seok Choi and the LUMPENS is the video creation company. They have been in charge of pretty much all the MV's since “No More Dream” in 2013.
LOVE HOW YOU REACT TO ALL THE SCENES
Green is a base color for old paintings. All historic painters first painted their canvas green and then painted the actual picture over it. The green base made other colours stood out more and made them realistic or something, I dont rememder its long time since I was in art school.
Maybe there is these green details like green tears here because their blood sweat and tears are the base for BTS music... Their art
Thanks for looking at bts's stuff! Really enjoyed your reaction
My interpretation for green is that it represents blood sweat and tears in cinematic way
Ohhhhhh that’s good
@@LoveTheBasics Thank you
Also it could be visual representation of temptation, infatuation and corruption. Brilliance of both meanings are that it doesn't have to be one or another, they perfectly coexist
Also, This is an excerpt from nicki swift article about meaning of the song: "While some fans may think that BTS's lead single "Blood Sweat & Tears" from their album "Wings" is about how hard they've worked as a band, it is actually about their willingness to sacrifice themselves in the name of love. "Kiss me, it's okay if it hurts / Just make it as tight / As that I can't feel the pain anymore / Baby, it's okay if I get drunk / I'll drink you in deep now / Deep into my throat / The whiskey that is you," they sing. Clearly, the song sees temptation become so great, it's literally intoxicating.

The BTS Episodes are the free content that they post on TH-cam, but there are also extended videos for the filming of each music video that include 10-15min of footage. These are included on the BTS Memory DVDs - highly recommend if you can find the footage online (because its very hard to get them for versions earlier than whichever the last one released is, which is currently 2019)
You still nailed it big time
Your reaction vid to BTS are now sth I look forward to every day :)
Adding to my comments from the other reaction to actual video: all the members are tempted. The green shows you they each fall. It starts with RM falling into Absinthe, then Jungkook joins him. J-Hope falls into despair, Yoongi and Jimin try to hide with the masks. Jin is exploring and open, but he too falls and cracks. V smirks at the end. Lucifer won! He has your blood, sweat and tears.
the color green usually stands for envy just in general. like “her fur coat makes me green with envy” (off of google) so i kind of get that from the mv because it’s about temptation
Green represents balance, growth, harmony or self control. Blood sweat and tears is about youth temptations and growing up. Understanding the colors meaning in a video is a major key point on a artistic view. Every color has its meaning to show the viewers the situations or the feelings of the scene being created. Without understanding the meanings of the colors will make your art (videos) disconnected. Learning these meanings will require a lot of research and reading. And lumpens (the director) and the creative team knows exactly what they are doing.
I thought of the green like poison... but I liked you interpretation as well 🧐 As you said, that’s what is great about art and this MV was definitely a piece of art in all the possible aspects! ✨ I’m so fascinated at all the different professions and knowledge that this single MV was analysed by, things I didn’t even know existed, things I didn’t pay attention to and so many amazing interpretations... it just adds more and more meaning to all the piece and also to the hard work of everyone! 🤩💞🎇🎆
I love different interpretation because art for that 💜
you won't ever understand this mv entirely only by watching 1 time. You can start an artist at any point but BTS is different. we all army needed to start from the start. that's why we army feel like we were with them from the 1st. you need to watch their whole discography to understand their next. it's like a book. you can't start from anywhere.
The cracking face, the statue with wings are also hints of the movie Black Swan. And then they released Black Swan in 2020.
I love that you appreciate this ! And we will love your vids !!
Daechwita and its behind the scene is a must 👍
I really recommend the video of "Don't worry I am not Afraid" that explains the symbolism of Blood Sweat and Tears
I've been a BTS Universe theorist for a while now, but I've also done extensive learning of how to observe classical art and its various symbolisms, and BTS uses a lot of that type of classical symbolism in this video, specifically uses of color and objects to tell the story.
The green throughout the BU videos symbolizes a combining of blue and yellow -- these two colors are a combination that is found very frequently in especially the BU videos. I've come to find that whenever green is present, it means two timelines (past and present in particular) are coming together, the yellow and the blue. Notice how Namjoon's room has the GREEN smoke floating up into the BLUE and YELLOW room? That means that he knows what's going on in that room without seeing it specifically.
In the past, the color green was a color used to portray the devil because of the face, body and claws of the devil are illustrated in green that's why JK said that the MV focuses on the color green.
I'm very late here to watch these reactions, but the more lengthy behind the scenes of all their activities are included in the memories DVD of each year. So the whole making of Blood, Sweat and Tears MV is there in the memories of 2016 DVD in a whole disk which actually you have to buy and pay to get. so yeah that's that...
Also, I love your reactions and it's so amazing watching reaction videos from an expert POV of a certain sector(i.e. Filmmaker, Producer, Music Coach, Dancer, Fashion Designer etc.) rather than a random reactor because then you get to know more about the little things BTS and the crew put effort into while creating a music video.
The green color generally refer to "Envy" , witch feat with the meaning of the song (Temptation) . The one who cry "green tear" after being unfolded is Jimin, not the same guy than the one who kiss the statue, and have is face "cracked" at the end: it's Jin. For a little help: V is the one who lost his wings; Suga the one who play organ and who is dress in blue in the deep blue room; RM the guy who drink green liquid and smoke; Jungkook the one who "fly" like Icarus; and J Hope the one who play with water and shoot an arrow with his bow.
Blood Sweet and Tears is about temptation and desires. There's alot of references to drugs, Satan and fallen angles, etc.
Thankyou for making reaction videos. ♥️ I'm learning so many new things
