There is a behind the scenes for Run. Then, Epilogue: Young Forever comes after this video. If you want to stay in order. After that, you want to watch the Wings short films.
I left out the Japanese versions of "I Need You Now" and "Run," because they are more centered on choreography. There are scenes within the videos that tie into the BU. Check it out if you want to. They come before the Epilogue.
@@tovekauppi1616 Agreed! He knows Suga is related to fire, so that will help him identify Suga in the future ^-^ (To Alex if you see this: The storyline uses their real names, so Suga is Yoongi!)
the story is actually really confusing even for us who's been following it for years. at the end of this mv, you see 7 of them in the back of the car but when the photo is taken, only 6 of them are in it. seokjin wasn't in the photo. this was shown in the on stage prologue you reacted to when seokjin took the polaroid out of the drawer and only hoseok was in the picture even though they took it together. also i saw a comment mentioning to pay attention to the pairings and they're right. the two who were fighting are yoongi and jungkook, namjoon and taehyung were spray painting and hoseok and jimin were in the hospital. the only person without a pair is seokjin who keeps "going out of character" during the scenes, glancing at the camera etc. all of these are important to the story and there's still so much for you to find out about it
As I can see this MV, it shows 2 timelines: when they're together and happy, and when they're alone and miserable. The timeline when they are alone has situations that remind them of happier times, that is why so many matching cuts. Also, those dramatic looks into the camera are to show that everything that's going on around is just memories.
I don't know if you noticed, the picture that Jimin burnt in the end had one member missing. Jin. Now you can correlate it with the last video when Jin took out the photo in the end and only he was there in the pic.
I really enjoy ur reaction i dont even know that the run direction has meaning. I'm gonna put the order again here: - i need u - i need u directors cut 19+ - on stage prologue vcr - run - i need u (jp ver) - run (jp ver) - epilogue: young forever - WINGS short films - WINGS tour trailer - blood sweat & tears - blood sweat & tears japanese ver. - euphoria - love yourself highlight reel - epiphany Sorry for edit it a lot, but i really open to anyone who wants to add anything that i might forget
Actually Euphoria comes before the LY highlight reels. It's marked with 起 (gi) which is part of the traditional storytelling narrative bts is using in the LY era 起承転結 (gi seung jeon gyeol).
0:46 ".... that's very Stranger Things...." NOTE 1: Run by BTS: 2015. Stranger Things: 2016. NOTE 2: That's "Butterfly" in the background.... (I never noticed, and I don't think I've seen this opening before!) Seven months on, I am just beginning to catch a glimpse of the BU..... This rabbit hole is DEEP! 3:14 ".... it's interesting that they are running TOGETHER..." -- You just made me realise, that this scene really got me on a level I did not realise until now. There were other music videos of theirs where they were running together. And those always made my heart swell up, and caused a sense of rising up in me that I can't explain. 4:56 ".... flowers...." That's the legendary mythical Smeraldo flower from the BTS Universe, yes? Apparently Smeraldo is Emerald in Italian, and represent "sincerity that could not be delivered" ...... 9:36 "... I always like seeing how (much) fun they (are) have(ing), even when....." THIS. This reality, in time and space, is why Big Hit Entertainment as it was, and BTS, as they were, and are now, their roles in each other's creations, are things that can NEVER be replicated. Like a moment of creation, it can only sparks once, with a multitude of sparkles, different, every time.
god this is still my favorite mv to this day i dont know it just captures the essence of fleeting youth and longing so well ah GAH i love them, your reactions are so interesting and fun to watch i really hope you dive in the bts universe i REALLY think you'd enjoy how they tie everything together.
Same! I remember the chaos when this MV released and how it's connected to I Need U. MVs with extensive storyline like this was such a mind-blowing thing!
10:38 Notice how there's 7 members in the first version of the picture and then 10:42 the same pic there's 6, Jin's missing , I'm not gonna spoil anything but, interesting stuff right...😌👌🧡
to know who is who is really important . the storyline is hell confusing and if you confuse with the members with their character it going to be a mess. i know it might be difficult , everyone start the journey with 'oh they all look same' to knowing them by their shadow . you can first start by learning their names , stage names are easy. and then go through each member photo one by one on google .and them take a group photo and see whom you can recognise and whom not . then repeat . thats how i learned . it might seem difficult but its really fun. (sorry for my bad english , it not my first language)
If more people can throw their prejudice against BTS and try to know them more, they will impress by their works: Songs, Dances/Choreographies, MVs, Lyrics, Storyline, everything about BTS just outstanding and amazing
The thing about almost all of their mv is, there are storyline based on the continuation of their other songs and their BU... but they also drops lots of meaningful meanings on one mv too... We can interpret them in so many ways and there are no rights or wrong...
Knowing who’s who is gonna be needed. Each character has a story arc and if you don’t know who’s who you can’t really follow the plot. For example, V is the one drowning because he has the darkest story so far, with him killing his abusive father. He will continue to struggle with that backstory throughout the universe.
that + V is the one who jumped into the ocean during Onstage: Prologue, while Butterfly played. Then Run starts with him falling into water while Butterfly plays faintly👀
To me Run is the realisation of Jin that all the "deja vu" he is perceiving are not dreams, but parallel universes. Remember that in Prologue, V commits suicide, the whole Prologue is about V dealing with guilt. When he goes on the plataform the guys react nervous and ask him to come down, they don't react as it is fun the view from there. That means they perceived he is not alright. Because they could think he just wanted to have a nice view and react differently. But no, and specially Jin look is so worry. It is with V suicidal that Jin ( the guy with the camaras-his eyes to another universe) realise that it is not dreams and he realise that he is suffering the butterfly effec.
No spoilers: Ending of Run (Jimin buring the group picture in bathtub) is how I Need You start. A little advice: pictures are VERY IMPORTANT here... so everytime there is a picture look carefully (count heads, first and foremost).
I've noticed you tend to interpret things chronologically like "this is the past" "is this the future" etc but i don't think that's a helpful approach when it comes to this universe if you want to avoid being confused. For now it might be better to just keep all these events in minds without necessarily trying to place them in time because the early MVs are really vague about that and it's only later that you'll really be able to piece it together.
The guy under water (V) it’s the guy who killed his dad and who jumped in the water at the end of Prologue😌 And again - pairings are really important: Jimin and J-Hope (hospital); JK and Suga (fight); RM and V(police) and Jin as a main character in this storyline
It still perplexes me how you genuinely nail the explanations in that they are very very close to the actual storyline! It's crazy how film plays such a major role in the actual storytelling and I cannot wait for you to embark down the BU road even further! Love your videos a lot
BU jumps around the past, future and present so much it's one complicated sad mess, i admire you for trying to understand it!! The blue flowers are call Smeraldo which they are discovered by the fictional poet William Ashbless (invented by fantasy writers James Blaylock and Tim Powers), he discovered the smeraldo flower in La Citta di smeraldo, Italy on June 12, 2013 (BTS debut day. even tho the creators have no connection to bts or bighit). The smeraldo flower represents "non potevo dire la verita" or the "truths that we cannot tell", it's a really beautiful but sad history too. So welcome to the BU rabbit hole that you will never get out bc the story has so many details that its not even over yet (in the new hybe exhibition they created a map where it connects everything from the bu, its a mess btw) Love your videos!! ♡
the flowers actually represent them and the fact that their group (in the storyline) is breaking apart hence the mirror breaking (also in relation to their webtoon Save Me)
I think a great way to think of it is that Run represents sadness in happiness, while I need U represents happiness in sadness. Run is a mostly happy vibe, but then you see these glimpses of their suffering and sadness. While I need U is very dark and sad, but you see moments of pure happiness among all the suffering.
You can find behind scenes of Run. Next Epilogue: Young forever, this mv it's so beautiful but l can't wait for wings short film it's after young forever, just l want to see your face, your interpretation 😁. Big hug from Spain 😍💕
omgosh run is such a masterpiece cuz its very heavy on references to the storyline, especially at the end where jin looks to the right and it immediately transitions to taehyung underwater looking at the camera (kinda surprised u didnt comment on that!). u kind of got it, in the videos it alternates between the dream world jins stuck in and harsh reality, there are even times when reality manifests itself in this dream world in the form of small accidents making jin realize somethings wrong with the boys (house of cards falling). this mv may be my personal favoriteeee, keep reacting plz
Ok I see you’re trying to remember their names, good! Even though you’re not confident about it and not quiet there yet but yeah it would be helpful if you know all the members and not just jimin lol watching your reactions it seems like you get them confused with each other sometimes because you don’t really know them. I think knowing the names of each member will help you understand and follow along better about what each member symbolizes as and notice the particular pairings. But I think once you get into the wings short films you’ll know them individually since each film focuses on one member. And please do not remember them by hair colors lmfao please know their FACES, it’s not hard. They dye their hair a lot if you haven’t noticed 😂
Honestly i'm still having goosebumps when i watch their videos. I was confused as hell too at the beginning of my journey in the BTS AU, and i'm so thankful for our Theorist ARMYs expanding my knowledge 😊
"I'm starting to learn people's names. I think. I don't want to say it, though." 😂 Don't worry, you'll get there, haha. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the part where you pointed out that there were only six of them is because Jin is driving the car behind them and you see them through his POV, then Jungkook looks at him.
i hope you can find out their names, because in this storyline they are like a couple and are related to each other. like jimin-jhope, jungkook-suga, rm-v, and jin he has the ability to go back in time, and he uses it to try and help fix his friends' mistakes
This MV actually have a lot of reference to their other songs, some within the same album. The card on the floor is for Butterfly and House of Cards, the feathers are for Forever young and the scene where they are together is for I Need U. 'The most beautiful moment in life" album is actually my favorite 🤧
Hope this helps! 1. RM/ Kim Namjoon: Leader, Rapper 2. Jin/ Kim Seokjin: Vocalist, Visual (oldest) 3. Suga/Agust D/ Min Yoongi : Rapper 4. J-hope/ Jung Hoseok: Rapper, Dancer, Sub vocalist 5. Park Jimin: Vocalist, Dancer 6. V/ Kim Taehyung: lead dancer, vocalist, visual 7. Jeon Jungkook: dancer, vocalist, sub rapper, center (youngest - "maknae" in korean) They all take parts in their songs as either producers or lyricists and some have their solo work as well
I remember one of Korean TH-camr also talked about how the direction they run or face (right and left) represents the future/past or sad/happy feelings. He said that it is often used in movies. *Kpop idols always change their hair color in every comeback
Don't be afraid to say it when you think you know who it is, we all started out that way! The fact that you're actively trying to learn them is enough; just give yourself time and before you know it you'll be identifying them based on a blurry, back-lit silhouette. There is indeed a behind-the-scenes! "He was in the bathtub last time." Yup. ". . . a lot of shots of them running." It doesn't go away either. Also, just for the record: Min(t) Yoongi in this era is literally one of THE most infamous hair colours they have ever done.
Oh my god I love your reactions. You really get it so quick! I was so tense in the scene of the fight that you passed so many times, I was shouting from London:" look in front of the mirror there is no flowers to be reflected" 😂 From this video everything starts to be very abstract, full of simbolism and you will have to pause a lot and start to zoom in some parts, distrust: reflections, flowers, contract in colours, cameras, every type of art and hidden quotes. All of that means something and often the reflections they reflect something different that what is in front of the mirror, eye glass,...
I believe every scene where they were together was all memories and the solo shots was the present. This music video kind of symbolizes a friendship falling apart but they don't want it to end so they keep fighting(running), that's all they know to do.
after fight, the room was blank but the flower was on the floor. it's smeraldo flower. it has accompanying story with bangtan universe. it said "He asked around about the flower and heard the legend of the man and the poor girl. He named the flower “smeraldo” after the “city of smeraldo” and decided its meaning as “the truth that couldn't be told,” based on the legend" thus bts has a song called "the truth untold"
As you know the bts universe is about one member(Jin) time travelling in trying to save rest 6. So each change in the shots in this mv is represents the different timeline. So in a way there's nothing past or present for rest of the members since they don't remember anything except Jin who time travels. So all the tiny changes that you noticed depicts every time Jin had to time travel to go through 'almost' same scenarios trying to save others.
FINALLY YOU'RE REALLY GETTING INTO THE STORYLINE I'VE WAITED SO LONG!! As you continue, I would really recommend watching the Japanese versions of the BU MVs. Some of them are very simple and don't really add much to the storyline, but some of them show the scenes in the original MV in a different way (Especially Blood Sweat and Tears, where the Japanese version is much more connected to the storyline than the Original) Loving your reactions though!!!
wow i really enjoyed this reaction of yours ☺️ run mv is def one of my favorite mvs from bts, it has such a special place in my heart and it feels so nostalgic for me since that’s the era that i got into bts aaaaaaa 💜 i really enjoyed this! ty
The second last scene (very important for the future) is not related to the last. The last is just V coming out of the water where he deeps with the first scene, like a close circle. To me it symbolises that he will not die as Jin is getting full conscious of the butterfly effect and it will be able to safe him. But the previous scene, that you realise they are just 6, the one missing is not V, it is Jin, and the source of light is the light of a car that Jin is driving. At least I thought like that from my very first time watching the video and later I did reenforce that idea. This is a very important scene for the future in the BU. So please bear in mind. All the scenes that you try to know if they are the past, it would be more correct to think is he living it at present or is a flash from another universe. You will see that the idea of parallel universe it is so real in fact in Blood sweat and tears Japanese version you actually see the virtual image of the wormhole, the typical that you see in cientific docs
Thanks for another great video!!! Those are not behind-the-scenes clips at the end: it's from the video camera Jin has. You can see him holding the camera for a selfie. It's part of the video. Next up is Japanese I Need U, Japanese Run, and then Epilogue: Young Forever finishes up this series. I've watched these videos so many times and I appreciate your fresh take on them. Looking forward to the next video!!
fact: the cars in the mv are owned by their managers and other employees of their company because they dont have enough money to rent for the mv... But they manage to make a cool mv despite of financial struggle
Did you realize that at the end when the shot at the truck turned into a photograph that Jin was missing standing by the driver's door? Love the reaction. This is a very emotional introspective video in the story line. The chaotic back and forth is pivotal and poignant.
I love that their videos can be enjoyed on different levels. Personally I didn’t get into the BU. I simply love the videos and the music. And yet I feel-pulled. So in an odd way I’m taking this trip with you. (And thank you, everyone who’s commenting. It’s part of the voyage.)
There is a huge story behind, that’s just 🤯 In the end all of their videos are connected even the ones you already reacted to (blood, sweat & tears, fake love…). These kids are ART!
SPOILERS!!!!! I just realized that yoonkook's fight was a representation of Jungkook's abusive step brother😳 That's why Yoongi was drunk and hurting him for seemingly no reason despite being the closest, JK was imagining Yoongi in his brother's place out of insecurity. Jungkook fears that the boys will turn on him and hurt him like his brother does if they fall apart any further, that's so sad🥺
loved your relaxed, positive vibe and your genuine, heart felt interest in watching these special videos. thank you for that and your great commentary. hope to see more from you
Thanks for another reaction i really enjoy your interpretation! Also side comments, i like the old layout because personally i really like the circle shape lol but this one is good too and if you enjoy it that's the most important thing. Have a nice day!
Its so cool that you pick up on things as a film maker that we didn't even pick up on! I'm a photography major and I got into BTS through their videography and storyline. its really insane and when you get to the WINGS short films... I actually wrote an essay on one of them and got into a scholarship program just something you might want to look out for throughout this journey is the grouping of the members. Hospital, fight scene, graffiti, 6 instead of 7, etc. I know it must be hard to identify the members so don't worry if you get them wrong! but it is a crucial part that will carry out throughout the journey. when I got into this whole mess, I wasn't even into idols or kpop but i could identify them in 2 days bc I was so obsessed with the storyline😂 Also! You should watch the Japanese MVs as well. You will get claimed if you upload the whole thing tho just a note. even if you don't react to it, you should watch it! It has more tidbits of the story:) from here: I need you JP Run JP Epilogue: Young Forever 1 Begin: Short Film 2 Lie: Short Film 3 Stigma: Short Film 4 First Love: Short Film 5 Reflection: Short Film 6 Mama: Short Film 7 Awake: Short Film Blood Sweat & Tears Blood Sweat & Tears JP (Personally my favorite BTS MV of all time with Black Swan) Love Yourself: Highlight Reel'起' Love Yourself: Highlight Reel'承' Love Yourself: Highlight Reel'轉' Love Yourself: Highlight Reel'起承轉結' Euphoria Fake Love Fake Love (Extended Ver.)

As always love your reaction and analysis I love this Music Video and song so much. I’m sure many would like to hear more about you and your experiences ☺️👍👍
*This contains spoilers for the main aspects of the hyyh storyline* The lyrics do actually relate. I NEED U's lyrics are actually dialog between Seokjin and the members who he's trying to save by going back in time. In most timelines he fails and goes back but some members (Jungkook and Taehyung) remember things from other timelines, especially Taehyung who constantly has nightmares about them where it feels like he's drowning (like in the RUN mv). Butterfly and Run's lyrics are also connected to the storyline, they talk about Seokjin's struggles and how he keeps chasing after the members every time and how difficult it is for him because he cares about them so much. I don't know if you noticed but a lot of the songs from this era also mention time travel. EDIT: also make sure you keep an eye out for these pairs: Yoongi and Jungkook (their fates are heavily intertwined and a common theory is that they are a couple in the storyline), Namjoon and Taehyung, Hoseok and Jimin.
@@user-qt1tt3ys7l These aren't spoilers. This is just about I NEED U, Butterfly and Run. How will he understand the BU if he doesn't understand that time travel is the concept..?
@@user-qt1tt3ys7l the time travel? I didn't think that was considered a spoiler.. I'm a 2014 theorist army and we've been discussing time travel theories from when INU came out..
@@Pokepuffs_ yeah well I guess. But there were many theories not just time travel. I’m just saying it would be better if he finds out himself. He kinda went into that direction already so🤷🏻♀️
if you wanna watch in order, the next one one should be epilogue:young forever. a very lovely song and beautiful mv. then after that you can proceed to the wings short films :D
For the song meaning, it has multi interpretation, it can applied to every situation. u can interpret they run/fighting to chasing a relationship with their lover, or run chasing a dream, or chasing their trueself etc. Even they get fall so many times n get hurt when they tried to chase it, but they wont give up n keep running/fight for it. So the interpretation for the song not just for one situation (not just talk about romance).
They have a song House of cards, Jin building a house of cards which collapse. Flowers in the mirror = Blood Sweat and tears where they show a flower in the mirror which was different from the one on the counter..
Fun Fact: we came back to that train every comeback (for clues and theories lol).
we really do omg

That train have us by the neck!!! it's going to chase us for the rest of our life lol

the story is actually really confusing even for us who's been following it for years. at the end of this mv, you see 7 of them in the back of the car but when the photo is taken, only 6 of them are in it. seokjin wasn't in the photo. this was shown in the on stage prologue you reacted to when seokjin took the polaroid out of the drawer and only hoseok was in the picture even though they took it together.
also i saw a comment mentioning to pay attention to the pairings and they're right. the two who were fighting are yoongi and jungkook, namjoon and taehyung were spray painting and hoseok and jimin were in the hospital. the only person without a pair is seokjin who keeps "going out of character" during the scenes, glancing at the camera etc. all of these are important to the story and there's still so much for you to find out about it
I miss the time when we used to break our heads figuring out the Storyline and theories the moment Music videos were released.....
🤣
So many things I am missing. Thanks for this.

@@nazomi hi i meant in the selfie Polaroid they took in the truck at the gas station. you're right that in another scene he was taking the photo tho !
The next is "young forever"
Yasss
As I can see this MV, it shows 2 timelines: when they're together and happy, and when they're alone and miserable. The timeline when they are alone has situations that remind them of happier times, that is why so many matching cuts. Also, those dramatic looks into the camera are to show that everything that's going on around is just memories.
I don't know if you noticed, the picture that Jimin burnt in the end had one member missing. Jin. Now you can correlate it with the last video when Jin took out the photo in the end and only he was there in the pic.

Seven months on, I am just beginning to catch a glimpse of the BU..... This rabbit hole is DEEP!
3:14 ".... it's interesting that they are running TOGETHER..." -- You just made me realise, that this scene really got me on a level I did not realise until now. There were other music videos of theirs where they were running together. And those always made my heart swell up, and caused a sense of rising up in me that I can't explain.
4:56 ".... flowers...." That's the legendary mythical Smeraldo flower from the BTS Universe, yes? Apparently Smeraldo is Emerald in Italian, and represent "sincerity that could not be delivered" ......
9:36 "... I always like seeing how (much) fun they (are) have(ing), even when....." THIS. This reality, in time and space, is why Big Hit Entertainment as it was, and BTS, as they were, and are now, their roles in each other's creations, are things that can NEVER be replicated. Like a moment of creation, it can only sparks once, with a multitude of sparkles, different, every time.
god this is still my favorite mv to this day i dont know it just captures the essence of fleeting youth and longing so well ah GAH i love them, your reactions are so interesting and fun to watch i really hope you dive in the bts universe i REALLY think you'd enjoy how they tie everything together.
Same! I remember the chaos when this MV released and how it's connected to I Need U. MVs with extensive storyline like this was such a mind-blowing thing!
I second that! Could not have said it better myself with the fleeting youth part. They really captured the essence very well.
10:38 Notice how there's 7 members in the first version of the picture and then 10:42 the same pic there's 6, Jin's missing , I'm not gonna spoil anything but, interesting stuff right...😌👌🧡
Jin is the one who take the photo

It's because Jin goes back in time aka he is in another reality. If I remember correctly
to know who is who is really important . the storyline is hell confusing and if you confuse with the members with their character it going to be a mess. i know it might be difficult , everyone start the journey with 'oh they all look same' to knowing them by their shadow . you can first start by learning their names , stage names are easy. and then go through each member photo one by one on google .and them take a group photo and see whom you can recognise and whom not . then repeat . thats how i learned . it might seem difficult but its really fun. (sorry for my bad english , it not my first language)
Please react to Heartbeat, it´s one of my favorite music videos of BTS
If more people can throw their prejudice against BTS and try to know them more, they will impress by their works: Songs, Dances/Choreographies, MVs, Lyrics, Storyline, everything about BTS just outstanding and amazing
I really want to see him react to a bts storyline explanation.
His mind going to explode 😭
@@Maha-xb9vu Oh for suree
yes!!! I prefer laina sunflower's theory explanation but xceleste works too :)
He probably will once he goes through them all himself (:
the numbers from that train haunt us to this day ....
fr T_T
so true omg
Agreee
ya i mean literally every comeback
Yeah ikr
I haven’t seen many people catch the hospital imagery around Hoseok’s parts in their first viewing so that made me really happy
The thing about almost all of their mv is, there are storyline based on the continuation of their other songs and their BU... but they also drops lots of meaningful meanings on one mv too... We can interpret them in so many ways and there are no rights or wrong...
"That was only 6 people..."
👀 👀 👀
Well, someone was driving...
Ufff i was looking for this comment on the comment section lol or i was gonna make it myself!
Knowing who’s who is gonna be needed. Each character has a story arc and if you don’t know who’s who you can’t really follow the plot. For example, V is the one drowning because he has the darkest story so far, with him killing his abusive father. He will continue to struggle with that backstory throughout the universe.
that + V is the one who jumped into the ocean during Onstage: Prologue, while Butterfly played. Then Run starts with him falling into water while Butterfly plays faintly👀
V doesnt really have the darkest past tho...
RUN is definitely one of my favorite songs ever
Thank you for diving in to their HYYH era. it's totally worth it and will all make sense after you read the webtoon
To me Run is the realisation of Jin that all the "deja vu" he is perceiving are not dreams, but parallel universes. Remember that in Prologue, V commits suicide, the whole Prologue is about V dealing with guilt. When he goes on the plataform the guys react nervous and ask him to come down, they don't react as it is fun the view from there. That means they perceived he is not alright. Because they could think he just wanted to have a nice view and react differently. But no, and specially Jin look is so worry.
It is with V suicidal that Jin ( the guy with the camaras-his eyes to another universe) realise that it is not dreams and he realise that he is suffering the butterfly effec.
No spoilers:
Ending of Run (Jimin buring the group picture in bathtub) is how I Need You start.
A little advice: pictures are VERY IMPORTANT here... so everytime there is a picture look carefully (count heads, first and foremost).
Thank you for reacting to Run, and for watching the whole mv! Some people skip the credits, I love seeing them being themselves!
I've noticed you tend to interpret things chronologically like "this is the past" "is this the future" etc but i don't think that's a helpful approach when it comes to this universe if you want to avoid being confused. For now it might be better to just keep all these events in minds without necessarily trying to place them in time because the early MVs are really vague about that and it's only later that you'll really be able to piece it together.
The guy under water (V) it’s the guy who killed his dad and who jumped in the water at the end of Prologue😌
And again - pairings are really important: Jimin and J-Hope (hospital); JK and Suga (fight); RM and V(police) and Jin as a main character in this storyline
Yep, I hope he will notice that
It still perplexes me how you genuinely nail the explanations in that they are very very close to the actual storyline! It's crazy how film plays such a major role in the actual storytelling and I cannot wait for you to embark down the BU road even further! Love your videos a lot
I hope you'll react to WINGS short films, they're so theatrical
BU jumps around the past, future and present so much it's one complicated sad mess, i admire you for trying to understand it!! The blue flowers are call Smeraldo which they are discovered by the fictional poet William Ashbless (invented by fantasy writers James Blaylock and Tim Powers), he discovered the smeraldo flower in La Citta di smeraldo, Italy on June 12, 2013 (BTS debut day. even tho the creators have no connection to bts or bighit). The smeraldo flower represents "non potevo dire la verita" or the "truths that we cannot tell", it's a really beautiful but sad history too. So welcome to the BU rabbit hole that you will never get out bc the story has so many details that its not even over yet (in the new hybe exhibition they created a map where it connects everything from the bu, its a mess btw) Love your videos!! ♡
the flowers actually represent them and the fact that their group (in the storyline) is breaking apart hence the mirror breaking (also in relation to their webtoon Save Me)
One of my favourite song and MV by BTS. Thank you for reacting and sharing your thoughts and insights! It’s awesome
That was such an exciting era! Army went crazy with theories and recurrence of elements and intertextuality of scenes.
I think a great way to think of it is that Run represents sadness in happiness, while I need U represents happiness in sadness.
Run is a mostly happy vibe, but then you see these glimpses of their suffering and sadness.
While I need U is very dark and sad, but you see moments of pure happiness among all the suffering.
You can find behind scenes of Run. Next Epilogue: Young forever, this mv it's so beautiful but l can't wait for wings short film it's after young forever, just l want to see your face, your interpretation 😁.
Big hug from Spain 😍💕
omgosh run is such a masterpiece cuz its very heavy on references to the storyline, especially at the end where jin looks to the right and it immediately transitions to taehyung underwater looking at the camera (kinda surprised u didnt comment on that!). u kind of got it, in the videos it alternates between the dream world jins stuck in and harsh reality, there are even times when reality manifests itself in this dream world in the form of small accidents making jin realize somethings wrong with the boys (house of cards falling). this mv may be my personal favoriteeee, keep reacting plz
Ok I see you’re trying to remember their names, good! Even though you’re not confident about it and not quiet there yet but yeah it would be helpful if you know all the members and not just jimin lol watching your reactions it seems like you get them confused with each other sometimes because you don’t really know them. I think knowing the names of each member will help you understand and follow along better about what each member symbolizes as and notice the particular pairings. But I think once you get into the wings short films you’ll know them individually since each film focuses on one member. And please do not remember them by hair colors lmfao please know their FACES, it’s not hard. They dye their hair a lot if you haven’t noticed 😂
i need a reaction of Heartbeat
Such an underrated video.
@@crystalsnow1138 and song 7.7
Honestly i'm still having goosebumps when i watch their videos. I was confused as hell too at the beginning of my journey in the BTS AU, and i'm so thankful for our Theorist ARMYs expanding my knowledge 😊
"I'm starting to learn people's names. I think. I don't want to say it, though." 😂
Don't worry, you'll get there, haha.
Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the part where you pointed out that there were only six of them is because Jin is driving the car behind them and you see them through his POV, then Jungkook looks at him.
Yes, you're right. And it is also a parallel to another time that is similar but ends differently and terribly.
i hope you can find out their names, because in this storyline they are like a couple and are related to each other. like jimin-jhope, jungkook-suga, rm-v, and jin he has the ability to go back in time, and he uses it to try and help fix his friends' mistakes
yeah.. it's important to be able to recognize each person so you can connect them together
Please don't give out spoilers!!!
Don't spoil the twists for him
@@MissAlesja85 im so sorry😭😭 but it seems he doesnt seem to understand the story line
@@nadyasulfita that's the point of discovering it on your own and not getting spoiled on things yet to come.
This MV actually have a lot of reference to their other songs, some within the same album. The card on the floor is for Butterfly and House of Cards, the feathers are for Forever young and the scene where they are together is for I Need U. 'The most beautiful moment in life" album is actually my favorite 🤧
If you’re going to get into it, better to be ready to get locked in. It’s all so mesmerizing!
Goosebumps everytime you hit a detail! Looking forward to more!!
Hope this helps!

2. Jin/ Kim Seokjin: Vocalist, Visual (oldest)

5. Park Jimin: Vocalist, Dancer

They all take parts in their songs as either producers or lyricists and some have their solo work as well
I love run. so underrated imo. I love the melody and beat there. hyyh series was a whole different experience
I love how insightful you are! Your reactions are so spot-on.
I remember one of Korean TH-camr also talked about how the direction they run or face (right and left) represents the future/past or sad/happy feelings. He said that it is often used in movies.
*Kpop idols always change their hair color in every comeback
Don't be afraid to say it when you think you know who it is, we all started out that way! The fact that you're actively trying to learn them is enough; just give yourself time and before you know it you'll be identifying them based on a blurry, back-lit silhouette.
There is indeed a behind-the-scenes!
"He was in the bathtub last time." Yup. ". . . a lot of shots of them running." It doesn't go away either.
Also, just for the record: Min(t) Yoongi in this era is literally one of THE most infamous hair colours they have ever done.
this video just reminded me of how much i love the run mv and the hyyh pt 2 album. id sell my soul to experience that era again for the first time.
Oh my god I love your reactions. You really get it so quick! I was so tense in the scene of the fight that you passed so many times, I was shouting from London:" look in front of the mirror there is no flowers to be reflected" 😂
From this video everything starts to be very abstract, full of simbolism and you will have to pause a lot and start to zoom in some parts, distrust: reflections, flowers, contract in colours, cameras, every type of art and hidden quotes. All of that means something and often the reflections they reflect something different that what is in front of the mirror, eye glass,...
Your videos became part of my daily routine and I'm not even complaining at all. I love it so much.
i LOVEEEE the way you interpret the MV’s!! i could honestly listen to you talk about ALL of their music videos :((
I appreciate this mv even more with your insight.
I believe every scene where they were together was all memories and the solo shots was the present. This music video kind of symbolizes a friendship falling apart but they don't want it to end so they keep fighting(running), that's all they know to do.
I AM EARLLYYYY YES DASHI RUN RUN RUN
The fact that you're picking up on 'timelines' has me super impressed 😲
SH%T, I LOVE THIS VIDEO
I'M CRYING BECAUSE ONCE YOU CONNECT WITH THE HISTORY IT MARKS YOU DEEPLY
omg ,every time i watch your reaction videos,i cant help my jaw from dropping from your comments, like it's so on point, what the fudgee!
after fight, the room was blank but the flower was on the floor. it's smeraldo flower. it has accompanying story with bangtan universe. it said "He asked around about the flower and heard the legend of the man and the poor girl. He named the flower “smeraldo” after the “city of smeraldo” and decided its meaning as “the truth that couldn't be told,” based on the legend" thus bts has a song called "the truth untold"
Run is like one of my favorite music videos of bts
As you know the bts universe is about one member(Jin) time travelling in trying to save rest 6. So each change in the shots in this mv is represents the different timeline. So in a way there's nothing past or present for rest of the members since they don't remember anything except Jin who time travels. So all the tiny changes that you noticed depicts every time Jin had to time travel to go through 'almost' same scenarios trying to save others.
FINALLY YOU'RE REALLY GETTING INTO THE STORYLINE I'VE WAITED SO LONG!!
As you continue, I would really recommend watching the Japanese versions of the BU MVs. Some of them are very simple and don't really add much to the storyline, but some of them show the scenes in the original MV in a different way (Especially Blood Sweat and Tears, where the Japanese version is much more connected to the storyline than the Original)
Loving your reactions though!!!
wow i really enjoyed this reaction of yours ☺️ run mv is def one of my favorite mvs from bts, it has such a special place in my heart and it feels so nostalgic for me since that’s the era that i got into bts aaaaaaa 💜
i really enjoyed this! ty
In BU when the glass breaks...Jin goes back to the beginning of the loop..and it just continues again and again and again and again...
The second last scene (very important for the future) is not related to the last. The last is just V coming out of the water where he deeps with the first scene, like a close circle. To me it symbolises that he will not die as Jin is getting full conscious of the butterfly effect and it will be able to safe him.
But the previous scene, that you realise they are just 6, the one missing is not V, it is Jin, and the source of light is the light of a car that Jin is driving. At least I thought like that from my very first time watching the video and later I did reenforce that idea. This is a very important scene for the future in the BU. So please bear in mind.
All the scenes that you try to know if they are the past, it would be more correct to think is he living it at present or is a flash from another universe. You will see that the idea of parallel universe it is so real in fact in Blood sweat and tears Japanese version you actually see the virtual image of the wormhole, the typical that you see in cientific docs
the flower is the smeraldo flower which they referenced in the ly album series ☺️
Thanks for another great video!!! Those are not behind-the-scenes clips at the end: it's from the video camera Jin has. You can see him holding the camera for a selfie. It's part of the video. Next up is Japanese I Need U, Japanese Run, and then Epilogue: Young Forever finishes up this series. I've watched these videos so many times and I appreciate your fresh take on them. Looking forward to the next video!!
fact: the cars in the mv are owned by their managers and other employees of their company because they dont have enough money to rent for the mv...
But they manage to make a cool mv despite of financial struggle
wings short movie will blow your mind
'But they all run together' Thanks so much for saying it cause I'm realizing it now 😭
Did you realize that at the end when the shot at the truck turned into a photograph that Jin was missing standing by the driver's door? Love the reaction.
This is a very emotional introspective video in the story line. The chaotic back and forth is pivotal and poignant.
I love that their videos can be enjoyed on different levels.
Personally I didn’t get into the BU. I simply love the videos and the music. And yet I feel-pulled.
So in an odd way I’m taking this trip with you.
(And thank you, everyone who’s commenting. It’s part of the voyage.)
There is a huge story behind, that’s just 🤯 In the end all of their videos are connected even the ones you already reacted to (blood, sweat & tears, fake love…). These kids are ART!
Love this serie!!! Thanks for reacting to the BTS universe 💜
The summary of this storylines will blow your mind🥺🥺.. I can't wait for you to watch it... I'm eagerly waiting for it💜💜
That´s one of my favourite BTS MV´s and songs
Run is before I Need You, so when you were confused about the end, the end was the beginning of I Need You
FINALLY! U had me confused with the hair colour for the thumbnail yet when I clicked on the video you had a different hair colour.
Sorry haha I pre-recorded a couple and forgot to take the thumbnail photos while I was dying my hair
You’ve changed your hair too! Hahaha It looks great 🥰
I can't wait to see your reactions to the highlight reels 😌
Funfact: the cars they vandalised in the tunnel all belonged to their staff
SPOILERS!!!!!
I just realized that yoonkook's fight was a representation of Jungkook's abusive step brother😳 That's why Yoongi was drunk and hurting him for seemingly no reason despite being the closest, JK was imagining Yoongi in his brother's place out of insecurity. Jungkook fears that the boys will turn on him and hurt him like his brother does if they fall apart any further, that's so sad🥺
loved your relaxed, positive vibe and your genuine, heart felt interest in watching these special videos. thank you for that and your great commentary. hope to see more from you
Thanks for your reaction 💜
Thanks for another reaction i really enjoy your interpretation! Also side comments, i like the old layout because personally i really like the circle shape lol but this one is good too and if you enjoy it that's the most important thing. Have a nice day!
Its so cool that you pick up on things as a film maker that we didn't even pick up on!
I'm a photography major and I got into BTS through their videography and storyline. its really insane and when you get to the WINGS short films... I actually wrote an essay on one of them and got into a scholarship program
just something you might want to look out for throughout this journey is the grouping of the members. Hospital, fight scene, graffiti, 6 instead of 7, etc.
I know it must be hard to identify the members so don't worry if you get them wrong! but it is a crucial part that will carry out throughout the journey.
when I got into this whole mess, I wasn't even into idols or kpop but i could identify them in 2 days bc I was so obsessed with the storyline😂
Also! You should watch the Japanese MVs as well. You will get claimed if you upload the whole thing tho just a note. even if you don't react to it, you should watch it! It has more tidbits of the story:)

As always love your reaction and analysis I love this Music Video and song so much. I’m sure many would like to hear more about you and your experiences ☺️👍👍
*This contains spoilers for the main aspects of the hyyh storyline*
The lyrics do actually relate. I NEED U's lyrics are actually dialog between Seokjin and the members who he's trying to save by going back in time. In most timelines he fails and goes back but some members (Jungkook and Taehyung) remember things from other timelines, especially Taehyung who constantly has nightmares about them where it feels like he's drowning (like in the RUN mv). Butterfly and Run's lyrics are also connected to the storyline, they talk about Seokjin's struggles and how he keeps chasing after the members every time and how difficult it is for him because he cares about them so much. I don't know if you noticed but a lot of the songs from this era also mention time travel.
EDIT: also make sure you keep an eye out for these pairs: Yoongi and Jungkook (their fates are heavily intertwined and a common theory is that they are a couple in the storyline), Namjoon and Taehyung, Hoseok and Jimin.
Why so many spoilers?😭 He is just watching the 3rd video
@@user-qt1tt3ys7l These aren't spoilers. This is just about I NEED U, Butterfly and Run. How will he understand the BU if he doesn't understand that time travel is the concept..?
@@Pokepuffs_ we didn’t know about that until the highlight reels(2017) tho :/
@@user-qt1tt3ys7l the time travel? I didn't think that was considered a spoiler.. I'm a 2014 theorist army and we've been discussing time travel theories from when INU came out..
@@Pokepuffs_ yeah well I guess. But there were many theories not just time travel. I’m just saying it would be better if he finds out himself. He kinda went into that direction already so🤷🏻♀️
if you wanna watch in order, the next one one should be epilogue:young forever. a very lovely song and beautiful mv. then after that you can proceed to the wings short films :D
For the song meaning, it has multi interpretation, it can applied to every situation. u can interpret they run/fighting to chasing a relationship with their lover, or run chasing a dream, or chasing their trueself etc. Even they get fall so many times n get hurt when they tried to chase it, but they wont give up n keep running/fight for it. So the interpretation for the song not just for one situation (not just talk about romance).
They have a song House of cards, Jin building a house of cards which collapse. Flowers in the mirror = Blood Sweat and tears where they show a flower in the mirror which was different from the one on the counter..
I don't know if anyone already mentioned this or not, but you have a really adorable smile ^^
i love how not only we get reactions and BTS content but we learn about film making and cinematography
you nice keep going 💜
Thank you for reaching this MV. Your explanation is lovely. 💜
