I was just at the concert in Vegas. First time seeing them live. They sound better live. I didn't know how that was possible, but they sounded so good. Jungkook especially sounds absolutely amazing live.
💜FYI - this is how they conceptualised the song: They created a very old and sad story called, 'La Città di Smeraldo' that takes place in a small town in Italy ( in the 16th Century -1500's). The story's about an 'ugly' man who hid in an old castle alone, even though he was a gentle good person, because of his looks he received lots of hate & cruelty while growing up. He never opened his heart to anyone. Eventually if anyone tried to approach him, he hid in fear. So he became bitter and angry. His one happiness in life was to plant beautiful flowers in his walled off garden. One night a woman appeared near the man's castle. She jumped over the garden fence and stole a flower. This angered the man at first. So he watched his garden all night. But when he fell asleep, the woman took another flower. This continued for several nights. The man pretended to be asleep and watched the woman steal a flower. He started becoming curious about the woman. He began waiting for her. Without realizing he started waiting for her to come and each day began to seem a little brighter. Following after her one day he realized that she was selling the flowers that she stole from him to try to make a living. The man falling in love so desperately wanted to help the woman. But he was afraid she would be terrified by the way he looks if he approached her. He 'knew' she would never be able love his 'grotesque' appearance. He came to a conclusion that the only way he would be able to help her is to keep himself hidden and let her continue stealing flowers from his garden. The man decided to make a flower that doesn't exist on the planet. So that the woman could sell them at a expensive price. He began to create the flower in his castle. After many unsuccessful attempts, the man created the most beautiful of all flowers (The Smeraldo Flower) and filled his garden with these beautiful flowers. But the woman stopped coming. No matter how long he waited she never came back to his garden. He eventually found out that the woman had starved to death before he could give her the flower that would have saved her. If only he had been brave enough to approach her😭 You will see the smeraldo flower references thoughout various MVs Song Lyrics English Trans: (credit - Doolset Bangtan Lyrics - best translations of all BTS songs) This garden where loneliness is in full bloom Covered with prickly thorns, I chained myself to this sandcastle What your name is, Whether you have anywhere to go, Oh could you tell me? I saw you hiding into this garden And I know that all your warmth is real The hand that picks a blue flower, I want to hold, but it’s my fate Don’t smile on me Light on me I can’t come closer to you I don’t have a name to be called by You know that I can’t Show you ME Give you ME I can’t show you my miserable self, so, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you But I still want you A flower that looks like you bloomed in the garden of loneliness I wanted to give it to you after taking off this foolish mask But I know that I can’t never ever do so that I have to hide myself because I’m ugly I’m afraid I’m miserable I’m so afraid Fearing that you, too, might leave me again in this end, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you But, all I can do is this, in this garden, in this world, after I make bloom a flower that looks like the beautiful you, to live as “I” that you know But I still want you But I still want you Perhaps, back then, by just a little, by just a bit, if I had taken courage and stood in front of you, would everything have been different now I’m crying at this sandcastle that is vanished, collapsed, and left alone, looking at the broken mask And I still want you But I still want you But I still want you And I still want you
"House of Cards" is my fav jazz blues song they do! But this is excellent too! Jin's voice is my favorite! Please do the live performance of "House of Cards" next.
The last bts concert I went to…they performed this song and the raplines outro tear back to back. 2 of the best songs I’ve ever seen live. Both incredibly intense and emotional while being so different, the whole group just shines 💜💜💜
@@blarmy827 I feel so fortunate to have seen them in 2019 before the shutdown! Lost my 2020:tickets to Covid, so disappointing….but anyway- the whole concert is incredible but these two-they really stand out..the guys are so passionate while singing, plus the energy of army is just unlike anything I’ve ever been a part of. If u can ever make it to a concert…they are def worth every penny (&the hunger games chaos to get tickets)💜💜💜
❣️So glad you finally did the live performance of this song! When you did the lyrics version of House of Cards, I commented that you had to watch that one and this one LIVE… period! So much emotion you can actually see and feel at the same time! Such talent in these young men. They truly touch the soul. 💜
One of the song that when i listening to it, i will cried without im realised it. It same goes to Hold Me Tight, House of Card, Spring Day, So Far Away, We Are Bulletproof Eternal and Louder Than Bombs. When i felt down, it will on my playlist.
Was it guys intentional or was it just a coincidence - with your hair and clothes color coordinated into absolute perfection like that :-) A great reaction, as always with you two:-) House of Cards is my fave tbh among the vocal line´s iconic candies, but this one is really nice too.
I think you guys would love their House of Cards performance. The harmonies between Jimin, V, JK and Jin are absolutely beautiful! (especially Jimin and V's). #The #Vocal #Line 🖤
from the release of the album, this was my fave vocal line song, i have it as my wake-up call... But, after the 2018 tour, whenever i hear this song, all i can remember is when Tae lost his voice between concerts, and couldn't sing it, and he was distraught because of this, and ARMY took his part and sang it for him. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. On a side note: what i love about the stadium tours the most is that they have fewer shows than in the arena tour in 2018, so more time to rest between concerts. It was so hard to see how much they suffered during that year's tour, and still put up an amazing show each time.
I love your reactions. Vocal Line in the The Truth Untold is heavenly (though it's a sad song). This song is one my favorite BTS song. I hope you will also react next to House of Cards by the vocal line. I'm sure you will love it too.
Omg their live performances. My dream is to see them live before I die. I’ve had 2 heart attacks already so who knows what my life expectancy is. So seeing bts live is a goal.
I LOVE Laurens reactions….she is really listening to the song and is so in it. When she does make a comment or have a gutteral reaction….it’s real. I would much rather see somebody’s true reaction to a song and let her hubby do the talking while she responds instead of them talking over each other and the song….AND she is beautiful. Shame on you for your comment….be a better person!
This song is from the "Love Yourself" era and kind of emphasises the importance of loving yourself. The boys and their company drew reference from the story of Smeraldo, a variation of the Beauty and the Beast story. However, there is not a happy ending to this story. It represents an entangled love story surrounding the Smeraldo which is estimated to have taken place around the 15th-16th centuries in the city of “La Citta di smeraldo”. According to various sources, the story supposedly has a tragic ending filled with yearning, sadness and sincerity that could not be delivered. According to the story, there once lived a man. He lived in a secluded castle in La Città di Smeraldo. There is not much information about the man except that he was the ‘love child’ of the duke of Florence who fell in love with a poor gardener’s daughter. She passed away at childbirth due to excessive bleeding leaving the man alone in the world. Being a child born out of wedlock, he was the source of misery to the wife and children of the duke, who tried to kill the poor boy. As a result, the duke sent him to a place further away. There were many rumours, but none was revealed. It is said the man alone hid in solitude at the old castle and wore a mask because he was very ‘ugly’. Probably because of all the hatred and jealousy he received as he lived, he didn’t open his heart to anyone. When anyone tried to approach him, he would hide away in anger and distrust. He shut himself from the world. Both his body and his heart. His only joy was to grow flowers in his garden. It made him happy and peaceful. But things took a beautiful turn. A turn which would be a moment of beauty within the memories at the corner of his head. A turn that would leave a sorrowful scar his heart forever and bring in tears to his eyes. Fate was playing on him. One day, a girl appeared in front of him near the vicinity of his castle. She was in ragged clothes. As he watched, the girl picked up the heels off the garden fence, climbed over it, and stole some flowers. The man was mad as a hornet at first. He was mad at her for stealing his precious flowers. He spent his whole night guarding the flowers. But in his brief moment of sleep, the girl picked up some flowers and ran away. Several nights continued to pass like that until the man pretended to be asleep and watched the girl go. He was curious. Who was she? Why does she steal my blooming pretty flowers every night? Without realising it, the man waited for the girl and followed her one night. He disguised himself with a cloak and followed her. After following her to a village, he realised why she stole flowers in his garden every night. He found out that the girl sells these flowers because she is very poor and has no other way to provide a living for herself. He felt very bad for her. Guilt filled him up. The man wanted to help the girl. He wanted to teach her every method of growing flowers he knew. He wanted to teach her how to grow beautiful flowers. He was slowly falling in love with her. The man started growing many flowers for her and made sure they were of the best quality. He wanted to show up in front of her. Tell her of his feelings towards her. But, he knew he could not show up in front of her. She would be scared of him. He must hide. Because he was ugly. She would not love his ugly appearance. So he never got the courage to confront her At the end, the only thing he could do was to grow and take care of the flowers so that she would keep coming to his garden. With time, he decided to himself that he would grow the most expensive flower (the Smeraldo) for her to sell. That was the only way he would unveil his sincerity to her. He locked himself in the castle. After many attempts, he succeeded in making the flower. The flower was very beautiful. It was something that never existed in the world. Afterward, he filled his garden with the flower and waited till nightfall for the girl to return. He waited and waited for the girl to come back to the garden to steal the flower. But the girl did not return. She was nowhere to be seen. No matter how much he waited, the girl wouldn’t return to his garden. It made him anxious. He later visited the village he had followed her to before. He was afraid. Afraid that she would leave him in the end. So he decided to wear a mask and go to see her. Unfortunately, he found out that the girl had died. Thus the flower language of the Smeraldo is as such: ‘non-potevo dire la verità’ or ‘the truth that could not be told’, which is also the title of the song. The story teaches us much more than just heartbreak. It teaches so much about being scared to show your true self. Because of his low self-esteem, the "Beast" didn't show himself to the girl and, instead, decided to try and create a new flower for her. If he hadn't been so convinced that she would reject him that he never actually approached her, then he might have been able to help her and prevented her death. It i the "truth untold" because he never told her how he felt about her. All of this, just to encourage people to love themselves. BTS along with Steve Aoki produced this song from the viewpoint of the “beast” in the story. The song touches various emotional components revealing the untold sincerity of the man. It taps into the sorrow in a vulnerable approach. “The Truth Untold” is the second collaboration between Aoki and the Korean boy band. It follows his remix of BTS’ “Mic Drop.”
Also little BU nugget for your enjoyment, the smeraldo flower is the flower that is always depicted in the BU storyline, especially by when it comes to Jin 👀💕
Lauren you looked like you especially felt this and this too makes me emotional. The idea of locking yourself away, hiding from others can be what BTs the,selves feel about showing us their true selves. It’s such a hauntingly beautiful song I too love it. Just imagine the people who say they can’t sing or lip sync and this song comes to mind for me. Just a delicate masterpiece.
This song is based off an Italian story of an ugly man who lives alone in a castle and one day he sees a beautiful girl wandering into his garden picking flowers. He quietly falls in love with her and plants special flowers that can only be grown in this garden hoping she would return. One day she stopped coming. And he discovers that she died. Some tragic beauty and the beast shit right there.
this song is very soulfull indeed. btw i checked your spotify account and found a song Tragedies, wow i didnt know you guys have so beautifull voice, congrats
This is my top 5 songs. I cry everytime I read the lyrics. I cry on a gloomy day just hearing it. Just as pied piper cheers me on. Pls listen to Louder than Bombs!
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Lauren looks great. So pretty. 🥰Love this song. Your Eyes Tell is still my fav but this one is fire as well. Stay alive is my 2nd fav. Louder than Bombs is a must too. Tear as well. Born Singer too. Adore songs with feels. The vocal line slayed. They know how to emote! Hugs. Love u both. #YouAreEnough - Army NY USA 💜 “The Truth Untold” is based on the story of the Smeraldo flower. -In a village of northern Italy called ‘La Città di smeraldo’, there was a small secluded castle. In that castle lived a man with grotesque appearance. He was the love child of a duke from a powerful family in Florence. The duke fell in love with the daughter of his gardener and gave birth to this man. The mother of the man passed away from excessive bleeding after giving birth to him. The wife and children of the duke wanted to kill the man, so the duke sent the man away to let him escape. The man hid himself in the old castle, lonely. probably, it was because of the hatred he received from birth and while he's growing up that he didn’t open his heart to anyone, he got angry and hid if someone tried to approach him. His only joy was growing flowers in his garden. But one day, a girl appeared near the man’s castle. The girl in ragged clothes lifted her heels, jumped over the garden fence and stole the flowers. The man got angry at first, he spent the whole night to guard the garden. But in his brief moment of sleepiness, the girl picked flowers again and ran away. It happened for several days, until one night the man pretended to fall asleep and watched the girl go. He was curious. Without realizing it, the man waited for the girl, and one day he followed her. He covered himself with a cloak and after following here the man discovered, the poor and weak girl was selling flowers for a living. The man wanted to help the girl. He wanted to teach her every method of growing flowers he knew, he wanted to teach her how to grow beautiful flowers. But he couldn’t come forward to the girl. She would be scared of him, she wouldn’t love his grotesque appearance. In the end, the only thing he could do was to grow and take care of the flowers so she could keep coming to his garden. The man decided to make a special flower that doesn't exist in the world. He started to make a flower so that the girl could sell at an expensive price. The man shut himself in the castle to make the flower. After countless attempts, the man made a flower that never existed in the world, and filled his garden with that flower. But the girl was nowhere to be seen. No matter how much he waited, the girl wouldn’t come to his garden. The man grew concerned and went to the village with his face covered. But he discovered that the girl had already died.
Pls I'm so sorry I don't know her name well but Mrs. GidKidDAD has come such a long way, I love her style, I love her bright smile, and what she brings to this channel 😫🥰😭 don't mind me- I just love herrrrr 🤧
Personally I love when Tae gets to do some of the adlibs…it’s rare in this song but he sounds so good…it still amazes me sometimes that the whole vocal line is this good….And compliment each other so well. Love, love,love it!💜
I'm not really watching the reaction so much this time as I am listening (I'm making cookies lol) But it's had an unintentionally funny side effect. The dude (Gid?) is making a noise whenever he hears something that pleases his ears (I guess?) But without seeing 👀 it, and just listening to it, it sounds like he's constipated & taking a dump 😆😆 I'll definitely make sure I'm watching next time! Lololol
I watched a RARE live performance of this. It was recommended by people to a vocal coach. I was too sad that it was that exact video that they recommend. My gosh. It was the 1st time i heard thwm like that, except for jin. Jk, v and most especially jimin sound so sick. Seems like they are on their 10th day of tour and concerts singing their 20th song. Jin was also unstable but still good. But the 3 just sound so tired and ill. 😭 It makes me so sad because i've always see great performances from them.
They didn’t even use the best performance clips for jungkooks part bc that pink haired jungkook performance and his harmonies and adlibs in that one specifically are untouchable…. They cut out some of them which just ugh are my favorite but come on these boys are ethereal!!!!
I love the stage mix but the English translation isn't great on this one. I hope you visit and understand the background story and read the more accurate lyrics from Doolset as lyrics are so beautiful.
How possibly does that woman sit there with absolutely ZERO reaction??!? She put more thought in her lipstick! If you post a reaction video you might think of REACTING
Please don't be mean. She looked like she was mesmerized with the song and said it's so pretty. Some songs you just have to listen and be in it with silence.
@@heesuh9505 I know you’re right but geez this is one of my favorite songs. I think it’s so beautiful! I love reaction videos- she literally didn’t react!
'That woman' is Gidkidmom and she's simply concentrating instead of 'faking' a reaction to please new viewers. I would rather have real and honest than fake. Also, the snide addition to to the comment about putting more thought in her lipstick, well, that is just petty and was thrown in there to be mean and appears condescending. This community all know her well and her love for BTS and we interact with her and she is sweet and kind. Many of us ASK for her to join in on these videos because we love her so much. BTS is very anti bullying and is all about love and kindness. I hope their message rubs off on you one day. And hey, Lauren, your lipstick is beautiful and so are you. Please don't EVER change, we love you

This song is really special to me. You can feel the pain, is so amazingly sad and it gives me goosebumps everytime. Their voices are just perfect.
Oh Jin's voice...so much heaven! The true vocal king😍

Song Lyrics English Trans: (credit - Doolset Bangtan Lyrics - best translations of all BTS songs)
This garden where loneliness is in full bloom
Covered with prickly thorns,
I chained myself to this sandcastle
What your name is,
Whether you have anywhere to go,
Oh could you tell me?
I saw you hiding into this garden
And I know
that all your warmth is real
The hand that picks a blue flower,
I want to hold, but
it’s my fate
Don’t smile on me
Light on me
I can’t come closer to you
I don’t have a name to be called by
You know that I can’t
Show you ME
Give you ME
I can’t show you my miserable self,
so, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you
But I still want you
A flower that looks like you bloomed in the garden of loneliness
I wanted to give it to you
after taking off this foolish mask
But I know
that I can’t never ever do so
that I have to hide myself
because I’m ugly
I’m afraid
I’m miserable
I’m so afraid
Fearing that you, too, might leave me again in this end,
yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you
But, all I can do is this,
in this garden,
in this world,
after I make bloom a flower that looks like the beautiful you,
to live as “I” that you know
But I still want you
But I still want you
Perhaps, back then,
by just a little,
by just a bit,
if I had taken courage and stood in front of you,
would everything have been different now
I’m crying
at this sandcastle that is vanished, collapsed, and left alone,
looking at the broken mask
And I still want you
But I still want you
But I still want you
And I still want you
Great summary, lovely
Sounds a bit like Beauty and the Beast, no?
Sounds like my ex and me. Everytime ours eyes met, his tell such untold truth. It's complicated.
Wow so detailed:)💜
And, now I'm crying even more. Thank you for the full Smeraldo flower story, I didn't know the reference for when it appears in the BU.
Jin’s parts gives me goosebumps. I just close my eyes automatically when Jin’s and Jimin’s parts play. Hats off to JK’s adlibs in this.. 💜💜💜💜💜
🥺🥺 Lauren looked so emotional In this one.
Also Lauren looks so gorgeous in this 💜 we stan the queen
Love this Song ❤❤jungkook 👌💜💜💜

"House of Cards" is my fav jazz blues song they do! But this is excellent too! Jin's voice is my favorite! Please do the live performance of "House of Cards" next.
The last bts concert I went to…they performed this song and the raplines outro tear back to back. 2 of the best songs I’ve ever seen live. Both incredibly intense and emotional while being so different, the whole group just shines 💜💜💜

I love how you guys matched your hair color with your clothes ❤️❤️❤️ amazing
Heart wrenching. One of my favorites.
Was it guys intentional or was it just a coincidence - with your hair and clothes color coordinated into absolute perfection like that :-)
A great reaction, as always with you two:-) House of Cards is my fave tbh among the vocal line´s iconic candies, but this one is really nice too.
I've only heard BTS once before. They're really good.
yep they slayed that
Jk live is incredible💜💜
Seokjin owns this song for me
I think you guys would love their House of Cards performance. The harmonies between Jimin, V, JK and Jin are absolutely beautiful! (especially Jimin and V's).

The man started growing many flowers for her and made sure they were of the best quality. He wanted to show up in front of her. Tell her of his feelings towards her. But, he knew he could not show up in front of her.
She would be scared of him. He must hide. Because he was ugly. She would not love his ugly appearance.
So he never got the courage to confront her At the end, the only thing he could do was to grow and take care of the flowers so that she would keep coming to his garden. With time, he decided to himself that he would grow the most expensive flower (the Smeraldo) for her to sell. That was the only way he would unveil his sincerity to her. He locked himself in the castle. After many attempts, he succeeded in making the flower. The flower was very beautiful. It was something that never existed in the world. Afterward, he filled his garden with the flower and waited till nightfall for the girl to return. He waited and waited for the girl to come back to the garden to steal the flower. But the girl did not return. She was nowhere to be seen. No matter how much he waited, the girl wouldn’t return to his garden. It made him anxious. He later visited the village he had followed her to before. He was afraid. Afraid that she would leave him in the end. So he decided to wear a mask and go to see her.
Unfortunately, he found out that the girl had died.
Thus the flower language of the Smeraldo is as such: ‘non-potevo dire la verità’ or ‘the truth that could not be told’, which is also the title of the song.
The story teaches us much more than just heartbreak. It teaches so much about being scared to show your true self. Because of his low self-esteem, the "Beast" didn't show himself to the girl and, instead, decided to try and create a new flower for her. If he hadn't been so convinced that she would reject him that he never actually approached her, then he might have been able to help her and prevented her death. It i the "truth untold" because he never told her how he felt about her. All of this, just to encourage people to love themselves. BTS along with Steve Aoki produced this song from the viewpoint of the “beast” in the story. The song touches various emotional components revealing the untold sincerity of the man. It taps into the sorrow in a vulnerable approach. “The Truth Untold” is the second collaboration between Aoki and the Korean boy band. It follows his remix of BTS’ “Mic Drop.”
Also little BU nugget for your enjoyment, the smeraldo flower is the flower that is always depicted in the BU storyline, especially by when it comes to Jin 👀💕
I’ve seen this comment so many times throughout the years and it still makes me emotional
Hits play on the vid and.... Josh already knows he is in trouble lol! You are too cute! Borahae!
Lauren you looked like you especially felt this and this too makes me emotional. The idea of locking yourself away, hiding from others can be what BTs the,selves feel about showing us their true selves. It’s such a hauntingly beautiful song I too love it. Just imagine the people who say they can’t sing or lip sync and this song comes to mind for me. Just a delicate masterpiece.
It's so pleasant to see your hair and outift match in color, both of you 💜💜.
The truth Untold is the saddest song bt BTS, but it's ao beautiful too.
My favourite bts song
TTU and HoC always bring me to tears 😢😢😢
BEAUTIFUL VOCALS
epic ballad song
LUV BTS

@@e0n555 personal 🙂
too bad for you
Jimin..?
This song is based off an Italian story of an ugly man who lives alone in a castle and one day he sees a beautiful girl wandering into his garden picking flowers. He quietly falls in love with her and plants special flowers that can only be grown in this garden hoping she would return. One day she stopped coming. And he discovers that she died. Some tragic beauty and the beast shit right there.
Just want to clarify, but it's a story that Big Hit created, not an actual Italian story.
@dj lu thank you for this comment i hope they see it it’s really important they know the context of the lyrics

“The Truth Untold” is based on the story of the Smeraldo flower.
-In a village of northern Italy called ‘La Città di smeraldo’, there was a small secluded castle. In that castle lived a man with grotesque appearance. He was the love child of a duke from a powerful family in Florence. The duke fell in love with the daughter of his gardener and gave birth to this man. The mother of the man passed away from excessive bleeding after giving birth to him. The wife and children of the duke wanted to kill the man, so the duke sent the man away to let him escape.
The man hid himself in the old castle, lonely. probably, it was because of the hatred he received from birth and while he's growing up that he didn’t open his heart to anyone, he got angry and hid if someone tried to approach him. His only joy was growing flowers in his garden. But one day, a girl appeared near the man’s castle. The girl in ragged clothes lifted her heels, jumped over the garden fence and stole the flowers. The man got angry at first, he spent the whole night to guard the garden. But in his brief moment of sleepiness, the girl picked flowers again and ran away. It happened for several days, until one night the man pretended to fall asleep and watched the girl go. He was curious. Without realizing it, the man waited for the girl, and one day he followed her. He covered himself with a cloak and after following here the man discovered, the poor and weak girl was selling flowers for a living.
The man wanted to help the girl. He wanted to teach her every method of growing flowers he knew, he wanted to teach her how to grow beautiful flowers. But he couldn’t come forward to the girl. She would be scared of him, she wouldn’t love his grotesque appearance. In the end, the only thing he could do was to grow and take care of the flowers so she could keep coming to his garden. The man decided to make a special flower that doesn't exist in the world. He started to make a flower so that the girl could sell at an expensive price. The man shut himself in the castle to make the flower. After countless attempts, the man made a flower that never existed in the world, and filled his garden with that flower. But the girl was nowhere to be seen. No matter how much he waited, the girl wouldn’t come to his garden. The man grew concerned and went to the village with his face covered. But he discovered that the girl had already died.
One of my favorite song 😍💜💜💜💜
Pls I'm so sorry I don't know her name well but Mrs. GidKidDAD has come such a long way, I love her style, I love her bright smile, and what she brings to this channel 😫🥰😭 don't mind me- I just love herrrrr 🤧
JK Increíble.
Personally I love when Tae gets to do some of the adlibs…it’s rare in this song but he sounds so good…it still amazes me sometimes that the whole vocal line is this good….And compliment each other so well. Love, love,love it!💜
Side note and this my mean nothing but the Smeraldo flower is being mentioned a lot… maybe it will be part of the new music… 🤞🏻💜💜💜
I'm not really watching the reaction so much this time as I am listening (I'm making cookies lol) But it's had an unintentionally funny side effect. The dude (Gid?) is making a noise whenever he hears something that pleases his ears (I guess?) But without seeing 👀 it, and just listening to it, it sounds like he's constipated & taking a dump 😆😆 I'll definitely make sure I'm watching next time! Lololol
I watched a RARE live performance of this. It was recommended by people to a vocal coach. I was too sad that it was that exact video that they recommend. My gosh. It was the 1st time i heard thwm like that, except for jin. Jk, v and most especially jimin sound so sick. Seems like they are on their 10th day of tour and concerts singing their 20th song. Jin was also unstable but still good. But the 3 just sound so tired and ill. 😭 It makes me so sad because i've always see great performances from them.
Do react to their old song HOLD ME TIGHT.
Jin is the best vocalist
They didn’t even use the best performance clips for jungkooks part bc that pink haired jungkook performance and his harmonies and adlibs in that one specifically are untouchable…. They cut out some of them which just ugh are my favorite but come on these boys are ethereal!!!!
I wish you would.do a reaction video to each of the vocal line eventually...hve u knwon House of cards yet?
amazing
Not me wondering what Deku was doing in the video before realising he's on your shirt.
💜💜💜
7:06 disclaimer your heart is gone. Please go to the rap line.
😉🤣😂😄
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
🥺😢😭👏👍💜💜💜💜
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love the stage mix but the English translation isn't great on this one. I hope you visit and understand the background story and read the more accurate lyrics from Doolset as lyrics are so beautiful.
💜🥰💜
Tae need more lines in this song His voice so heavenly full of emotion ❤
😢😢😢😢
I thought she didn't like sad songs
Army adapts =0p
Why all your guests in your videos are watching the performances like saying (God I wanna go home)
Y was jungkook hair color changing wtf.
I don't like these stage mix versions. You should really watch the live non-stage mix videos, to one complete performance.
They choose not the best performance audio for this mix but yeah is good but not the best
TAEHYUNG 💜💜💜
How possibly does that woman sit there with absolutely ZERO reaction??!? She put more thought in her lipstick! If you post a reaction video you might think of REACTING
Please don't be mean. She looked like she was mesmerized with the song and said it's so pretty. Some songs you just have to listen and be in it with silence.
@@heesuh9505 I know you’re right but geez this is one of my favorite songs. I think it’s so beautiful! I love reaction videos- she literally didn’t react!
'That woman' is Gidkidmom and she's simply concentrating instead of 'faking' a reaction to please new viewers. I would rather have real and honest than fake. Also, the snide addition to to the comment about putting more thought in her lipstick, well, that is just petty and was thrown in there to be mean and appears condescending. This community all know her well and her love for BTS and we interact with her and she is sweet and kind. Many of us ASK for her to join in on these videos because we love her so much. BTS is very anti bullying and is all about love and kindness. I hope their message rubs off on you one day. And hey, Lauren, your lipstick is beautiful and so are you. Please don't EVER change, we love you
That was really uncalled for. Just don't watch if you dislike the reaction, no need to make rude comments.
Why try to police the way people respond? You are beautiful Lala we appreciate you both!
This is one of my favorite favorites! I'm so glad you finally got to listen to it .
💜
