BANGTAN GIRLIES WE HAVE WON TODAY 🎉🎉🎉 In all seriousness, I do believe that Namjoon is one of the best lyricist of our time! This man is PURE poetry so I'm really happy to see you diving into his work 💜
His reaction to wildflower was everything dude was clutching his chest the entire time.. was moaning at the right times and when he took off those glasses I knew this guy just gets it...
Not sure if chat mentioned this, but when rm said "we still love and hate this city" in hectic (19:39) He's referring to his earlier song "Seoul" from his second mixtape "mono" where he says "if love and hate are the same words, I hate you, Seoul" He does not define his relationship with Seoul as one that's driven by love or hate, but rather one he is simply very passionate about.
i remember when suga said "You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice". If only people can be more open minded/heart with music it would be amazing, the amount of amazing foreign musics that people haven't discovered yet is just....
@@blujay__ It's the thought of people being too underestimating when it comes to other language songs. I've read the chats from this video, and seeing how others doesn't want to listen to a bts songs just don't sit with me. I'm glad that he did RM, because it deserves to be appreciated. I am not here to discredit namjoon's work. but namjoon is bts.
Why do you bring that copy cat here. We do not care about that guy who keeps copying nj. He just said he used iu on his new song bc he needed the clout. Leave nj alone and focus on the other Bts mbrs/ bimbos.
RM’s Indigo (and also mono) are only underrated by those who refuse to open their minds to his genius because they’d rather stick to their preconceived notion about “Asian boy band” BTS. Army are proud of his talent and thank you for being a reactor who is open to new music. RM’s lyricism should never be dismissed.
Bro that was a rollercoaster for me. That whole album is just perfect, damn. I think he made a good decision to put the last song in there at the end coz I was smiling the whole time I had to look up the lyrics. It's like when you had so much sht going on in life and you just go sit by the window with a cup of coffee/tea and breathe that fresh air. Idk how to describe it properly. The album is a breath of fresh air for me. Def on my playlist.
yes! and its especially powerful hearing park jiyoon and rm singing "don't look back no more" knowing their intense past struggles (they both dealt with mass amounts of hate and targeted smear campaigns which rm has been open about and had caused jiyoon to take a 6 year hiatus). and yet, here they are, at peace, showing us that there's a way out and that they've been able to look forward instead of worrying over the past. i got chills.
✨PETITION FOR:✨ - Mono (We need more Troy tears sorry) - D2 (let’s see how he enjoy that rougher Korean scratching his brain hehe) - Jack in the box (Troy he’s an actual music nerd, would love to see him dissect Jhope’s homage to old school genres)
Wtf dude this video is so wholesome. RM indigo is really an artistic masterpiece, his first mixtape was full rap album showing his skills, 2nd album/playlist was kind of self reflective, vulnerable but real, and indigo is poetic perspective of life.
i think this is my favourite reaction video so far. you went into it unbiased and reacted genuinely. wouldn't be surprised if this intrigued you so much, that you're getting into the bts rabbit hole
omfg troy!!!!!!?!!! I’ve been watching you for so long and i love you but i never in my wildestes dreams thought you would react and listen to one of my absolute all time favorite artist! I’m so so so grateful you took the time out of your day to do this with care and the utmost respect (as usual 😭🫶🏼) and that you thoroughly enjoyed yourself 🥹🫶🏼
i just got to the wildflower reaction and you’re crying????? to an rm song??? TROY I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY I LOVE YOU FOR THIS GEM BRO REALLY THANK YOU THIS IS MAKING ME SO HAPPY 😭🫶🏼
11:48 the "run away like fish" part doesn't sound weird to me bc my brain kinda translates it to "escape like a fish" lol. we love languages. i wonder if that's why joon said it like that too, like maybe it sounds different in his head due to him speaking korean.
just a small thing-it's not a question of him saying that his BTS experience is behind him and departing for his own career. This is taking time for personal projects while the members come and go from their mandatory military service. As of the current moment there are definitely intentions for BTS to resume activities when they are all back in 2025/6 (obviously subject to change ).
BROOOOOO.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO THIS. BTS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN PEOPLE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR. RM does alot of the wriring for them, if you liked this you should check out some of their other albums.
No.2 song is really special Park jiyoon the co-singer released a song called Adult ceremony which is basically about losing virginity to an older man but since she was 18 she didn't understood the lyrics about it and received hell lot of hate. It affected her relationship with her parents , she webt into depression JYP the company under which she was working created this image of her which she hated and went on hiatus for 6 years. In 2003 she left the JYP Company. The lyrics "My love , don't look back anymore , behind the clearly mix memories, these remaining live stays like a bonus , You've done your best So No! No looking back No " holds special meaning. This was said by park jiyoon herself
I loved the reaction, Indigo is such a special album. Thank you so much for giving our boys a chance to know their art, we believe in their music and they should receive so much more respect. Glad you enjoyed it, once again thank you so much. Armys really appreciate it 💜💜💜

Rm is the definition of perfection his lyrics are the most meaningful and emotional lyrics I've ever heard indigo is namjoon's emotions that are not limited to just an album he is absolutely brilliant genius RM's solo work is my favourite indigo is my favourite after his mono album. He deserves moreee
The quality of this album is Ridiculous! The lyrics, the musical direction, the mix, the live instruments, the artists he collaborated with, the producers involved, the magazine shoot explaining each songs, the Live performance in an Art Museum and the tight knit Live Concert. Indigo is a timeless masterpiece.
Rm's mono and indigo are one of my fav albums. His thoughts behind every lyric, the references, and his flow: pure art👏 thankyou for doing justice to this album
Im so glad you loved wildflower your reaction is exactly how i acted when i first heard the song I'm not even kidding. I cry everytime I listen to that song, it's the voice that does it for me, I've never heard something like that, it stirs EMOTIONS inside me and the tears start flowing. Thank you for such a nice reaction! 💜
indigo is such a gem, rm is a genius with his lyrics and the whole album felt so fresh, bts has so much diversity in their sounds but lots of people dont really feel like giving them an opportunity mostly bc of prejudice sadly
Just so you know about Yun (note from a website called Doolsetbangtan): Note: In an interview, RM mentions that the title “Yun” comes from Yun Hyong-keun, a South Korean artist known for combining the colors of earth and water who RM greatly admires. His artwork is also shown in the album photos. This track features narration by the late artist and calmly lays out what RM learned from Yun’s paintings and messages and became to think of. (Then Genius transcribed what he said) Edit: I wanted to note that Yun the painter serviced all the invasion of Japan in Korea which they were terrible to Korean. The painter went through a lot of hardships but was still created art. At least that is my understanding from RM and he said that his message inspired how he was able to have motivation to do set despite the things that have happened.
My friend and i started to maintain a google doc where we rate songs as we listen to new stuff and most things are a sentence or two at most- but indigo took three and a half pages. the thought put into his work never ceases to amaze me and his work is so personal- it really shines through! (also, as a photography nerd, the physical version of the album focused on cyanotype photography- a sort of indigo-ish light sensitive material! super neat stuff)
Underrated to western media and lost locals, sure. Everyone else with taste appreciates his insane talent and brilliant mind. So happy you reacted to RM, I hope this is you starting your BTS journey. With love, from an ARMY💜
thank you for giving namjoon a chance, he’s a lyrical genius and not given enough credit sometimes. people often wafe off bts because of the language barrier yet there are translated lyrics provided by army translators everywhere and even genius. thank you again
Namjoon is just different. And his lyrics, he’s a true poet. Expected a masterpiece when Indigo was released and got a masterpiece in the end. Loved your reaction! 💜
@@hthazee Damn, you answer fast! I personally compare a few translations, doolset and muish blogs are the best, alongside some twitter translators, but just stick with doolset. There are usually a lot of references and wordplay, different people notice different things, so feel free to have your own interpretations as well! That's why watching reactors is fun and educational 😊 Also, they like making doubles in both English and Korean, so keep an eye out
yep in reality anybody who doesn't know korean AND english cannot give a critic for rms lyrics. also need to know his back story and his past albums too, otherwise its so shallow
i wouldnt consider a critic shallow if they don't understand and know the artists personal life. I get the langauge thing (kinda) but nah, if the music hits it hits. that's what's so great about music, it can transcend language if powerful enough. i think RM's got the power.
@@hthazee looking at the music from a critical standpoint vs from casual enjoying is the difference here. enjoy it however you like, but someone cant fully review the album if you don't understand all the references.

@@fanofthings6720 I understand, I’m also behind with their other contents like documentaries (I only saw cut scenes from twitter). The only thing I’m updated is their music , performances, & the military thing 😅
It made me happy and moved to tears that you GOT IT! Kim Namjoon "RM" is a special young man who has been through a lot and recovered and excelled. Thanks for your reaction!
TROY??? MY GUY?????? OMYGOD I never thought this day would come. Definitely seated for this reaction, hoping you love and appreciate its genius! LET'S GOO
Really loved your reaction to Indigo! RM also dropped a new hiphop/jazz/really experimental piece called RPWP (right place wrong person), really think havent seen a mainstream artist make an album like that in so long! Would love to see ur reaction to it
Loved this reaction to an album I love so much. But just a correction for your last comment about RM "leaving BTS" behind... he's not. 😅 They're all taking a break from group music (after almost 10 years) to explore more of their own solo music, to rest and also to fulfill their mandatory military service in the South Korean army (every able-bodied man is required to do it for a minimum 18 months). So yeah, he and the rest of the members will be going in one by one and hopefully all finishing up in 2025. They've expressed in multiple interviews before that they want to keep doing BTS for as long as they can, so I can definitely see them being a group and making music for decades to come (if they so wish). Their individual work right now will only bring even more creativity & passion for when they come back together again. Anyway thanks for reading my long comment & have a great day!
i will love it if you get into older bts albums (like LY: Tear) because these guys have so many bangers and great lyrics in their discography. it's really a shame most people only know dynamite and butter and assume that's all bts are about.
I enjoy RM's solo music so much, it's probably my most favourite one out of all the members. Also really loved your reaction to Indigo, those dance moves to closer were hilarious
The joy it brought me when I saw this notification! Your appreciation for music and RM is the best combo and loved your edits with the memes and jokes. Taking the time to understand which is what we all did because these lyrics and the meanings are so beautiful and we get to know RM more via his references which is wonderful.
i am a bts fan and i was hoping someday you would react to their songs, so thank you for reacting to this beautiful masterpiece that’s indigo, RM put a lot of work on this one and it’s great to see people of the industry saying such good things about it, he deserves it
this reaction gotta be one of my favorites ever. thank you for appreciate RM's lyrics and work. He is amazing. Indigo is amazing. For more RM I suggest "mono" if you want too. Mono is very important too me and is one of the reasons that I'm ARMY now. thank you again :)
heyyyy good on you for looking up the lyrics!! next time, I suggest you use doolset bangtan's translations as they are well versed in korean and translates even the hidden nuances that are essential to understand bts songs! thank you for giving namjoon a try! love when more people discover his music❤
Namjoon has always put double meanings and alternate meanings to his lyrics, every word is sung with purpose and has weight. He's also very inspired by OG hip-hop and black artists! He recently mentioned that in his most recent interview where he wasn't inspired by other boy bands, he was inspired by those who originated the music we listen to today.
oh my gooooood you finally gave one of them a chance even though it's not in english i'm so happy!!! and indigo was exactly the album i would have picked if i knew you wanted to dip your toes into bts, it's the one album i thought would have been the best fit while still shaking your expectations a little 😁 also side note, they still plan on releasing music as a group they just won't be able to for a few years cause of their military service, but it's not a 1D kinda of solo. they still like each other for one lol, and they've always been free to do solo work alongside group work anyway (RM had like 30/40 songs out before this), they just didn't have as much time. ^^
You are amazing and I love this reaction. Namjoon is so underrated. I can't stop listening Indigo album. Sorry for my English. I'm from Galicia (Spain)
Haha, your VIBE throughout the whole video was amazing! Always so nice to watch people discovering my boys. RM is amazing! He's such an amazing rapper and producer. I'm glad you enjoyed the album :) It would be awesome if you could react to more BTS related stuff. I HIGHLY recommend the albums: dark & wild and love yourself tear. I think it can be a positive surprise.
Definitely one of the best Indigo reactions ever, love how you interpreted everything including the concept and the lyrics, my favorite was when you said Erykah Badu sounds almost like the universe speaking to him cuz that's the vibe he was going for, a wise Queen like voice advising him. This was so enjoyable thank youuu
OMG OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!! Thank you so much for listening to this RM's Lyricism is TOP TIER like the man has MAGIC. BTS is sooooo much more than what people think 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I loved this reaction ❤️🩹 I'm so happy you did the two reactions (paramore and namjoon's), both of their albums are two of my current favorites and the fact that also my favorite TH-cam person reacted to them, making them so much justice was everything !! man, you made my whole week, thank you 🥹
He recently made another album called Right Place, Wrong Person! Its different and he experimented with this album its so unique and i love it so much. The transition between the song NUTS to Out Of Love was 😩
Every TIME I listen or watch the video for Wildflower I cry a bit. It’s so powerful!! To see you GET IT and not be full on ARMY is so cool, I mean he is reaching you with his emotions to touch yours. Pretty masterful. This is hands down my favorite album of the last year… the whole thing. Wildflower and Closer are my favorites and I love them so much💜
im so glad you liked it this album has been such a comfort to me since december. i wanna correct one small thing ik its hard to believe given all the hiatus = breakup propaganda that surrounds boybands, but they are genuinely on hiatus. they’ve known they were gonna have to take this break since they began given south korea’s enlistment laws. in any case since the hiatus they’ve had a group concert, released an english version of a song with all seven members, the vocal line did a group song, and rm has many writing credits on jimin’s upcoming album so rest assured, the group as a septet is not going anywhere. sorry for the fucking novel 😭 if u wanna check out some group stuff my favorite album is love yourself tear
Happy you enjoy Indigo as much as we do. Of note, BTS is still a team. They are exploring their own projects during a break before they head into their mandatory military service this year (each on a different time table). They have plans to regroup after when they are all back around 2025. 💜
Namjoon is a great lyricist. He got into rap bc he wrote poetry since he was a kid and won awards for it. I don’t know if you have checked the lyrics from his mixtape Mono, but I love those lyrics so much… specially uhgood and everything goes .. ahh Moonchild too. Everything goes is like a mantra. His lyrics are just so comforting.
“LET'S VAN GOGH TO THIS B*TCH” it's literally my favorite moment. I've lost count of the number of times I watched your reaction, it's just priceless. I remember that back in the day your reactions to Fine Line and Walls were my safe place during the pandemic and never would imagine a few years later I will fall for Namjoon and BTS and will watch your reaction to his solo work. Thank you so much, if you feel comfortable it will be amazing if you could check a BTS album or another solo work, I genuinely think you'll enjoy it.
troy. we've been begging for a bts album reaction and omg im so glad you reacted to indigo. rm is seriously a lyrical genius and he contributes to a good majority of the group's songs. literally begging begging on my KNEES for u to check out their (best) album "love yourself:tear" especially if ur into that emo jazz-y r&b vibe.
Thank you for giving RM a chance! As an ARMY of 9 years, we greatly appreciate when someone new listens to the guys without prejudice and an open heart! Thank you I loved your reaction to wild flower! Hopefully in the future there can be a reaction opportunity for other BTS music group or solo.
"still love and hate this city" is a callback to an older song of his 'Seoul' bc in that song he talks abt his conflicted feelings abt the city he lives in
re-watching this again. i feel like troy would enjoy d-day, especially since most songs are so upbeat, then there are also the sad/calmer songs. someone please request troy to react to d-day 🥹
I feel like the Korean language suits being put to music so incredibly well, both when it comes to singing and rapping. It rolls so smoothly together, it's really satisfying to listen to^^
WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THIS, not just you but everyone who ever doubted bts were actually really good artists! rm is a really good lyricist and has such a nice flow, he knows how his voice works and these tracks just prove it! excited to hear you react to more bts
I would absolutely LOVE to see you react to his new album 'Right Place Wrong Person', I think you'll find it really interesting... Indigo is full of bops but RPWP takes you on a wild, strange journey. My personal no.1 album of 2024.
I have been waiting for the day you would do BTS or any of their solo project reactions. Did want to say the ending lyric "we still love and hate this city" is a reference to his previous song Seoul which says something along the lines of "If love and hate are the same thing I love you Seoul, If love and hate are the same thing, I hate you Seoul". The lyric hits so much better when you know this I think
OMG THANK YOU 😭😭 please check out his previous work, ‘mono.’ as well!! it’s an absolute gem of an album that means so much to many ppl including me. It’s my ultimate comfort album as I’ve never related more to a body of work than mono. your reaction to wild flower is everything 🥹🥹🥹
BANGTAN GIRLIES WE HAVE WON TODAY 🎉🎉🎉 In all seriousness, I do believe that Namjoon is one of the best lyricist of our time! This man is PURE poetry so I'm really happy to see you diving into his work 💜

Tablo is fluent in english and a graduate from Stanford who majored in english literature which is why he writes really well in his songs 😊
No.2 song is really special
Park jiyoon the co-singer released a song called Adult ceremony which is basically about losing virginity to an older man but since she was 18 she didn't understood the lyrics about it and received hell lot of hate. It affected her relationship with her parents , she webt into depression JYP the company under which she was working created this image of her which she hated and went on hiatus for 6 years. In 2003 she left the JYP Company.
The lyrics
"My love , don't look back anymore , behind the clearly mix memories, these remaining live stays like a bonus , You've done your best
So No! No looking back No " holds special meaning.
This was said by park jiyoon herself
Thanks...I didn't know it
When RM said " how can I make my music matter..." Indigo is an auditory experience without the meaningful lyrics. With it, the album is a masterpiece
I loved the reaction, Indigo is such a special album. Thank you so much for giving our boys a chance to know their art, we believe in their music and they should receive so much more respect. Glad you enjoyed it, once again thank you so much. Armys really appreciate it 💜💜💜

funfact about wild flower (since you caught on the part about 'flower work' sounding like firework!) the korean word for firework is 불꽃 (bulkkot) which can be separated into 불 (bul, meaning fire) + 꽃 (kkot, meaning flower)... so yes! flowerwork/firework indeed :] rm's wordplay is so fun always...
that being said! wildflower's korean title is also further wordplay! because the korean word for a fireworks show(?) is 불꽃놀이 (bulkkot nori) and here in the song, the title swaps out the first syllable 불 (bul) for 들 (deul), turning 불꽃 (bulkkot i.e. fireflower/flame) into 들꽃 (deulkkot; meaning flowers that grow in a field, i.e. wild flowers!). so it turns from 불꽃놀이 (bulkkot nori; fireflower/fireworks show) into 들꽃놀이 (deulkkot nori; a wildflower show!).
i can't remember exactly why, but i think it was a metaphor for wanting to live more like something calm but longer lasting (wild flowers) as opposed to something that is shiny/sparkly but short-lived (fireworks) ^^
oh wow sorry for the essay T^T i am very passionate about this song... i hope you enjoy the lyricism troy!! :)

thank you for explaining everything in such details! the essay Gods would be so proud 🫶
Rm is the definition of perfection his lyrics are the most meaningful and emotional lyrics I've ever heard indigo is namjoon's emotions that are not limited to just an album he is absolutely brilliant genius RM's solo work is my favourite indigo is my favourite after his mono album. He deserves moreee
The quality of this album is Ridiculous! The lyrics, the musical direction, the mix, the live instruments, the artists he collaborated with, the producers involved, the magazine shoot explaining each songs, the Live performance in an Art Museum and the tight knit Live Concert. Indigo is a timeless masterpiece.
Rm's mono and indigo are one of my fav albums. His thoughts behind every lyric, the references, and his flow: pure art👏 thankyou for doing justice to this album
Im so glad you loved wildflower your reaction is exactly how i acted when i first heard the song I'm not even kidding. I cry everytime I listen to that song, it's the voice that does it for me, I've never heard something like that, it stirs EMOTIONS inside me and the tears start flowing. Thank you for such a nice reaction! 💜
indigo is such a gem, rm is a genius with his lyrics and the whole album felt so fresh, bts has so much diversity in their sounds but lots of people dont really feel like giving them an opportunity mostly bc of prejudice sadly
So so happy to see you covering this album! RM has my favorite solo work of all the members because of his wordplay
Just so you know about Yun (note from a website called Doolsetbangtan):
Note: In an interview, RM mentions that the title “Yun” comes from Yun Hyong-keun, a South Korean artist known for combining the colors of earth and water who RM greatly admires. His artwork is also shown in the album photos. This track features narration by the late artist and calmly lays out what RM learned from Yun’s paintings and messages and became to think of.
(Then Genius transcribed what he said)
Edit: I wanted to note that Yun the painter serviced all the invasion of Japan in Korea which they were terrible to Korean. The painter went through a lot of hardships but was still created art. At least that is my understanding from RM and he said that his message inspired how he was able to have motivation to do set despite the things that have happened.
Idk how many times I've watched this. I enjoyed this so much that I keep coming back!!
It should have a Grammy nomination ik it ain’t happening but that album is such a rollercoaster 😭
IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE BUTTER DUDEEEE LESGOOOOOO
his 'mono.' playlist/mixtape is one of the best things that happened to sad music
My friend and i started to maintain a google doc where we rate songs as we listen to new stuff and most things are a sentence or two at most- but indigo took three and a half pages. the thought put into his work never ceases to amaze me and his work is so personal- it really shines through! (also, as a photography nerd, the physical version of the album focused on cyanotype photography- a sort of indigo-ish light sensitive material! super neat stuff)
Underrated to western media and lost locals, sure. Everyone else with taste appreciates his insane talent and brilliant mind. So happy you reacted to RM, I hope this is you starting your BTS journey.
With love, from an ARMY💜
thank you for giving namjoon a chance, he’s a lyrical genius and not given enough credit sometimes. people often wafe off bts because of the language barrier yet there are translated lyrics provided by army translators everywhere and even genius. thank you again
Namjoon is just different. And his lyrics, he’s a true poet. Expected a masterpiece when Indigo was released and got a masterpiece in the end. Loved your reaction! 💜
Doolset is much better than genius for bts lyrics! You get an explanation of cultural references and wordplay
ah thank you! was looking for this comment!
@@hthazee Damn, you answer fast! I personally compare a few translations, doolset and muish blogs are the best, alongside some twitter translators, but just stick with doolset. There are usually a lot of references and wordplay, different people notice different things, so feel free to have your own interpretations as well! That's why watching reactors is fun and educational 😊 Also, they like making doubles in both English and Korean, so keep an eye out
yep in reality anybody who doesn't know korean AND english cannot give a critic for rms lyrics. also need to know his back story and his past albums too, otherwise its so shallow
i wouldnt consider a critic shallow if they don't understand and know the artists personal life. I get the langauge thing (kinda) but nah, if the music hits it hits. that's what's so great about music, it can transcend language if powerful enough. i think RM's got the power.
@@hthazee looking at the music from a critical standpoint vs from casual enjoying is the difference here. enjoy it however you like, but someone cant fully review the album if you don't understand all the references.

This is so helpful omg I love BTS but I kind of got a bit behind with keeping up with everyone’s individual works 😭
@@fanofthings6720 I understand, I’m also behind with their other contents like documentaries (I only saw cut scenes from twitter). The only thing I’m updated is their music , performances, & the military thing 😅
It made me happy and moved to tears that you GOT IT! Kim Namjoon "RM" is a special young man who has been through a lot and recovered and excelled. Thanks for your reaction!
TROY??? MY GUY?????? OMYGOD I never thought this day would come. Definitely seated for this reaction, hoping you love and appreciate its genius! LET'S GOO
6:24 That's RM core, his astethic, that boy is art that loves and lives for art
Really loved your reaction to Indigo! RM also dropped a new hiphop/jazz/really experimental piece called RPWP (right place wrong person), really think havent seen a mainstream artist make an album like that in so long! Would love to see ur reaction to it
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO MORE BTS. PLEASE, GIVE US MORE
Loved this reaction to an album I love so much. But just a correction for your last comment about RM "leaving BTS" behind... he's not. 😅 They're all taking a break from group music (after almost 10 years) to explore more of their own solo music, to rest and also to fulfill their mandatory military service in the South Korean army (every able-bodied man is required to do it for a minimum 18 months). So yeah, he and the rest of the members will be going in one by one and hopefully all finishing up in 2025. They've expressed in multiple interviews before that they want to keep doing BTS for as long as they can, so I can definitely see them being a group and making music for decades to come (if they so wish). Their individual work right now will only bring even more creativity & passion for when they come back together again. Anyway thanks for reading my long comment & have a great day!
i will love it if you get into older bts albums (like LY: Tear) because these guys have so many bangers and great lyrics in their discography. it's really a shame most people only know dynamite and butter and assume that's all bts are about.
NO WAY U ARE REACTING TO INDIGO AAAAAAAAA
I enjoy RM's solo music so much, it's probably my most favourite one out of all the members. Also really loved your reaction to Indigo, those dance moves to closer were hilarious
The joy it brought me when I saw this notification! Your appreciation for music and RM is the best combo and loved your edits with the memes and jokes. Taking the time to understand which is what we all did because these lyrics and the meanings are so beautiful and we get to know RM more via his references which is wonderful.
I can never get sick of RM's music. Replaying everyday, still feeling it.
Namjoon IS THE LYRICS GOD.
He gets so deep and it feels so good
He is a Legend !!!
i am a bts fan and i was hoping someday you would react to their songs, so thank you for reacting to this beautiful masterpiece that’s indigo, RM put a lot of work on this one and it’s great to see people of the industry saying such good things about it, he deserves it
this reaction gotta be one of my favorites ever. thank you for appreciate RM's lyrics and work. He is amazing. Indigo is amazing. For more RM I suggest "mono" if you want too. Mono is very important too me and is one of the reasons that I'm ARMY now. thank you again :)
heyyyy good on you for looking up the lyrics!! next time, I suggest you use doolset bangtan's translations as they are well versed in korean and translates even the hidden nuances that are essential to understand bts songs! thank you for giving namjoon a try! love when more people discover his music❤
We need now a Right Place, Wrong Person review 🙌🏼
omg im so glad you enjoyed the album troy!!!! i think youd love the lyricism of RM's second solo projet 'mono'
Namjoon is a poet bro poet , his lyrics is so deep and hard hitting
Namjoon has always put double meanings and alternate meanings to his lyrics, every word is sung with purpose and has weight. He's also very inspired by OG hip-hop and black artists! He recently mentioned that in his most recent interview where he wasn't inspired by other boy bands, he was inspired by those who originated the music we listen to today.
oh my gooooood you finally gave one of them a chance even though it's not in english i'm so happy!!! and indigo was exactly the album i would have picked if i knew you wanted to dip your toes into bts, it's the one album i thought would have been the best fit while still shaking your expectations a little 😁
also side note, they still plan on releasing music as a group they just won't be able to for a few years cause of their military service, but it's not a 1D kinda of solo. they still like each other for one lol, and they've always been free to do solo work alongside group work anyway (RM had like 30/40 songs out before this), they just didn't have as much time. ^^
BEEN WAITING SINCE BUTTER I'M CRYINGKSK
You are amazing and I love this reaction. Namjoon is so underrated. I can't stop listening Indigo album. Sorry for my English. I'm from Galicia (Spain)
This album is a true masterpiece according to me. RM and his friends made an incredible work
Haha, your VIBE throughout the whole video was amazing! Always so nice to watch people discovering my boys. RM is amazing! He's such an amazing rapper and producer. I'm glad you enjoyed the album :) It would be awesome if you could react to more BTS related stuff. I HIGHLY recommend the albums: dark & wild and love yourself tear. I think it can be a positive surprise.
Definitely one of the best Indigo reactions ever, love how you interpreted everything including the concept and the lyrics, my favorite was when you said Erykah Badu sounds almost like the universe speaking to him cuz that's the vibe he was going for, a wise Queen like voice advising him. This was so enjoyable thank youuu
Indigo by RM is beautifully written, it made me tear up a little bit. RM is a great lyricist, I also recommend his second mixtape "Mono".
I can't believe we finally won a BTS reaction
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM
OMG OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!! Thank you so much for listening to this RM's Lyricism is TOP TIER like the man has MAGIC. BTS is sooooo much more than what people think 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You need to react to the album he dropped after this one "right place, wrong person" i think you will love it even more.
Your reaction in wildflower is so real
I LEGIT HAVE BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH because this actually feels unreal.
this album is gold.
I loved this reaction ❤️🩹 I'm so happy you did the two reactions (paramore and namjoon's), both of their albums are two of my current favorites and the fact that also my favorite TH-cam person reacted to them, making them so much justice was everything !!
man, you made my whole week, thank you 🥹
OMMGGG I’M SO HAPPY YOU REACTING TO RM THIS IS LEGIT MY FAV ALBUM
Rm is my favorite lyricist at the moment. Everything he does, I enjoy. His collabs are great, too.
He recently made another album called Right Place, Wrong Person! Its different and he experimented with this album its so unique and i love it so much. The transition between the song NUTS to Out Of Love was 😩
so happy you listened to this incredible album!!!! i knew you would love it!! thanks for listening to my favourite artist!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you listen to RM'S music! Your reaction was amazing! As usual
Every TIME I listen or watch the video for Wildflower I cry a bit. It’s so powerful!! To see you GET IT and not be full on ARMY is so cool, I mean he is reaching you with his emotions to touch yours. Pretty masterful. This is hands down my favorite album of the last year… the whole thing. Wildflower and Closer are my favorites and I love them so much💜
im so glad you liked it this album has been such a comfort to me since december. i wanna correct one small thing ik its hard to believe given all the hiatus = breakup propaganda that surrounds boybands, but they are genuinely on hiatus. they’ve known they were gonna have to take this break since they began given south korea’s enlistment laws. in any case since the hiatus they’ve had a group concert, released an english version of a song with all seven members, the vocal line did a group song, and rm has many writing credits on jimin’s upcoming album so rest assured, the group as a septet is not going anywhere. sorry for the fucking novel 😭 if u wanna check out some group stuff my favorite album is love yourself tear
Happy you enjoy Indigo as much as we do. Of note, BTS is still a team. They are exploring their own projects during a break before they head into their mandatory military service this year (each on a different time table). They have plans to regroup after when they are all back around 2025. 💜
Namjoon is a great lyricist. He got into rap bc he wrote poetry since he was a kid and won awards for it. I don’t know if you have checked the lyrics from his mixtape Mono, but I love those lyrics so much… specially uhgood and everything goes .. ahh Moonchild too. Everything goes is like a mantra. His lyrics are just so comforting.
i'd never seen people being this excited to see a man cry until i subscribed to hthaze
“LET'S VAN GOGH TO THIS B*TCH” it's literally my favorite moment. I've lost count of the number of times I watched your reaction, it's just priceless. I remember that back in the day your reactions to Fine Line and Walls were my safe place during the pandemic and never would imagine a few years later I will fall for Namjoon and BTS and will watch your reaction to his solo work.
Thank you so much, if you feel comfortable it will be amazing if you could check a BTS album or another solo work, I genuinely think you'll enjoy it.
troy. we've been begging for a bts album reaction and omg im so glad you reacted to indigo. rm is seriously a lyrical genius and he contributes to a good majority of the group's songs. literally begging begging on my KNEES for u to check out their (best) album "love yourself:tear" especially if ur into that emo jazz-y r&b vibe.
Thank you for giving RM a chance! As an ARMY of 9 years, we greatly appreciate when someone new listens to the guys without prejudice and an open heart! Thank you I loved your reaction to wild flower! Hopefully in the future there can be a reaction opportunity for other BTS music group or solo.
His entire album is such a masterpiece 💙💙💙
"still love and hate this city" is a callback to an older song of his 'Seoul' bc in that song he talks abt his conflicted feelings abt the city he lives in
re-watching this again. i feel like troy would enjoy d-day, especially since most songs are so upbeat, then there are also the sad/calmer songs. someone please request troy to react to d-day 🥹
forgot i commented this. i still need him to react to d-day
no cuz the first time i heard wild flower i literally thought i was in a coma. never heard anything like that before. it’s incredible.
true definition of BEAUTY😘
I recommend Rm mono album i sure you would like his lyricism in that album
I feel like the Korean language suits being put to music so incredibly well, both when it comes to singing and rapping. It rolls so smoothly together, it's really satisfying to listen to^^
21:52 that's me being proud of you Troy for FINALLY reacting to RM
WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THIS, not just you but everyone who ever doubted bts were actually really good artists! rm is a really good lyricist and has such a nice flow, he knows how his voice works and these tracks just prove it! excited to hear you react to more bts
NOW U GOTTA REACT TO MONO, I JUST KNOW UR GONNA LOVE IT
I would absolutely LOVE to see you react to his new album 'Right Place Wrong Person', I think you'll find it really interesting... Indigo is full of bops but RPWP takes you on a wild, strange journey. My personal no.1 album of 2024.
I'm so happy you reacted to RM, I had a lot of fun watching this video!!! thank u!!!
I have been waiting for the day you would do BTS or any of their solo project reactions. Did want to say the ending lyric "we still love and hate this city" is a reference to his previous song Seoul which says something along the lines of "If love and hate are the same thing I love you Seoul, If love and hate are the same thing, I hate you Seoul". The lyric hits so much better when you know this I think
OMG THANK YOU 😭😭 please check out his previous work, ‘mono.’ as well!! it’s an absolute gem of an album that means so much to many ppl including me. It’s my ultimate comfort album as I’ve never related more to a body of work than mono.
your reaction to wild flower is everything 🥹🥹🥹
Oh you'll love his tiny desk concert!! You should check it out
