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 💜
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.
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...
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.
✨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)
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
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 ).
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
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.
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'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
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
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! 💜
@@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.
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! 💜
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)
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
"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
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
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
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. ^^
1:02 his voice is actually much lower in real life! He mentioned that he tends to rap/sing in a higher tone than usual since it has a clearer pronunciation for ppl to hear hahaha
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 :)
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.
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 🥹
oh my gosh, you have all my respect for reacting to BTS, not just that, but the lyrical genius himself KIM NAMJOON!!! RM?! No fvckin way this is your first reaction to your first BTS solo!!! That's a wonderful way to start off your rabbit hole journey, that's all I'll say 😂 Man, don't feel bad about being late to a party, as our fandom says, you don't find BTS, BTS find *you.* Please continue to react to more BTS. I pity those who have no idea BTS exist and create such good music, especially as SOLOISTS! Seriously, people are missing out. It truly is such a shame because their music is so. mother. fucking. G-O-O-D. You don't understand 💀 Best part is their discography is so diverse, there's literally something for everyone, rap/hiphop? r&b? jazz? rock? pop? indie? ballads? there's literally everything with BTS. But wait it gets better: They're self-made. They write, produce, compose, dance, rap and sing, they literally do everything. But that's just the music aspect, it's get better once you dive into them as people and see they're so really down to earth, humbled ass men with amazing personalities. It's a shame some of us have just gotten into them a decade into their careers...Better late than never. Please continue down the rabbit hole, you're about to open a whole new world that you'll never realize you needed. Please, please continue your Bangtan journey. There's a reason we're so in love with these guys. There's a reason we're so passionate and empathetic on spreading BTS worldwide and why ARMY will blow up your notifications from this one reaction. You won't realize what hit you. You have no idea what you've just done 😂💜
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 🥹🥹🥹
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 think it’s interesting to look at rms indigo versus jhopes Jack in the box and how each of them showcased very different aspects of being great musicians. Jhopes album had zero collabs and he was able to convey all the emotions and all the story with his own voice. And rms album had a lot of collabs, but it all worked because rm knew exactly who he needed for each song to make it come alive for the listener. I just love them and getting to see how each of them goes about making solo music. Different from some kpop idols solo music where it’s just meant to be catchy and current, these solo projects feel like they can last a lifetime because they tell us so much about them as individuals
When I first heard the "run away like a fish" line, the English teacher in me cringed slightly. As a native English speaker, I would have preferred it to be "dart away like a fish" or "slip away like a fish". But I realised that I can't judge artists who are expressing themselves in their own way. RM is fluent in Korean, English, and Japanese and writes lyrics in all languages. He also likes to play with languages and create neologisms. He's always intentional in his choice of words. I also realised that being snobbish about "proper English" has connotations of imperialism and seeing a certain form of English as "superior" is incredibly problematic. So I keep reminding myself that. Same with "flowerwork"
just like on best of me the lyric goes, you gave me the best of me so you gave you the best of you.. i don't think it is grammarly correct but it works
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
OHMYGODDDDD FINALLYYYY!!!!! Thank you for this, really! His past playlist/mixtape (Mono) means to me A LOOOOT!!! AND YOU REACTING TO NAMJOON AND HYPING TO EVERY SONGS???? YOU CRYING OVER WILD FLOWER AS WELL?!!!!! OHMYGODDDDD IM CRYING REALLY THANK YOU LOVE YOUUU!!! 🤧💜
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.
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^^
Indingo changed my life!!!! since it's release to this day is one of my favorite albums, namjoon outdid himself sm with this one is full of art and soul i love it so much P.S I'm still waiting for you to react to rm's Mono album im sure you'll love it 🙏🏼
I WON TODAY LIKE IM SO HAPPY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO INDIGO SINCE IT WAS RELEASED 😭💗 i hope this introduction with RM makes you want to listen to BTS or the other members solo music :,) these are some albums i’d recommend i hope you can react to them one day! Jack In The Box - J-Hope You Never Walk Alone - BTS The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever - BTS Love Yourself: Tear - BTS MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 - BTS Thank you for giving RM a chance this makes all people who love the boys that watch you so so happy 🌟
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.
Yeah if you follow RM you know he loves art and museums, which makes since why it’s such a big part of his music. I think it’s cool that he included that.
your personality is just 💫chefs kisses💫 & the editing is SO freaking funny, & i adored how you really spent your time taking in the album & even reading the lyrics & watching the music videos!! thank you for this wonderful video
I'm pretty sure the line 'but you ran away like fish" in closer is a reference to another one of his lyrics in his collab with gaeko called "gajah" where he says "if you wanna be a fish, be selfish", so like he's saying the person is being selfish by running away
Indigo is such a treat😊 it is pure auditorial bliss. You mentioned how some sounds hit you on his delivery, RM said that lyrics important to him also how syllables hit ear. Hope you will check out other solo albums from BTS members: Jack in the Box by Jhope and Face by Jimin that comes out next week💜
To me RM sounds like he needed to explore the path not taken. The solo indie underground rap pathway. Away from BTS. Fans may stone me for saying this. But it is all over his lyrics. People telling him he won’t make it alone outside BTS. Him wondering what this means for him the person, the artist, the musician, outside is the group, as he is going into his 30s. Finally resolving that solo projects pre military is sufficient to let off some of his creative steam. Realising that he has passed a point of no return. That BTS is what happened and it is here to stay. It is a pity some fans won’t allow this conversation to be had no matter how many times he or any of the members asked fans to set them free. Allow them out of the box, to breath, to re-centre.
You may also want to check out the lyrics of For Youth and Take Two (by BTS, he writes his verses and some of the vocalists') regarding that, and any of his many livestreams. They're both songs dedicated to ARMY, the fanbase, and Take Two is referenced in Closer (Indigo) "It's gonna be the take two, stay where you are." Take Two (both songs really) shows how he feels about continuing as BTS and what that means to him. Indigo was about his own journey as an artist, and chapter 2 of BTS is about them being ready to be their own artists in addition to being a team as BTS. They're very clear about their plans, so anyone correcting you would know from how they talk about it. If he had made the decision to stop being BTS, as they were so close to doing in 2018, then it would be what he wants, but everything he's said is that he wants to do BTS until he retires. You can check the second time he's on Suchwita (a talk show on youtube hosted by his bandmate) for an example of when he talks about that.
Such a great reaction, I love the way you actually feel the music. ❤❤ RM is actually a genius with lyrics and producing, and the guest artists on this album are seriously next tier. Now that you’re getting a taste of Korean rap, would love to see your thoughts on the albums from the other two rappers in BTS, Jhope and Suga (Agust D). 😊
Dying to hear what you think of his new album, “Right Place, Wrong Person.” It’s so trippy and completely different from anything he has done both with BTS and on his own.
Ok loved this reaction (this album is a little masterpiece imo) but I gotta get justice for the “run away like fish” line 😂 because I love it and the imagery is so evocative for me…like if you drop a stone in a pond and the fish all dart away so fast and disappear. I know “run” is a weird choice of word but RM loves to play with words and sounds and has said that he’ll purposefully use a word in a creative way even if it isn’t exactly “grammatically correct” if he prefers the sound of it (“yesterday was a hectic” being another example of that 😂). But I digress way too much….this was such a great reaction and it’s awesome to see the lyricism and beautiful production choices being appreciated. And the way he chose his collaborators…each of those voices is so right for the tone and mood of each song that I couldn’t imagine anyone else in their place. RM is a legit artist…for real for real.
I would absolutely love to see you react to full bts albums someday, people don't realise how many genres they encompass and also how great their lyrics and production are
This album reaction gave me so much joy, I shed a tear at Wildflower. Nothing gets me more than people experiencing their beauty. I can’t wait to keep rewatching this one🥹💜
This album is truly an underrated masterpiece. Would love to see what you think about the single Come Back To Me by RM coming on 5.10! His second studio album Right Place Wrong Person is coming on 05.24!
OMFG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME IM SO EXCITED Edit: I always love to hear your professional opinions on albums i love and as always i had a great time watching this ♥️
nahh i started crying with you too during wildflower, this song is so personal to me you can't cry alone to this :'(((( I'm so in love with no.2 being the ending for the album because it ends on such a positive note!!! Although when he says the past is the past, no looking back, it's not necessarily leaving bts in the past because they're also his future, more like leaving all the hardships behind and not blaming yourself for any of your mistakes because you did the you could at the time. The song also fits the feature, she's a famous older artists and she's had a difficult life in the industry, but she can also sing this to him as he's younger and she's reassuring him.
Korean from a standpoint of the sounds in the language works so well for rap and for singing. I’m so glad you caught that so fast. It makes the process of listening even if you don’t know the meaning so enjoyable
AHH was so excited to see this pop up, Namjoon truly is an incredible lyricist. This album is such a treasure to me, I hope you explore more of the BTS discography because it's incredible.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION I LOVE ITTTT. RM is going to have another album out 24 may and a pre-release on 10 may. Could you maybe react again when that time come?
I have seen so many people be weirded out by the "run away like fish" line Idk what you guys imagine, but first thing that came to mind when I heard the line was of those videos of the deep ocean, and a beautiful shoal (had to Google that word) of fish that spreads out as soon as the marine current changes, or a whale tries to eat them or something, and that image is really pretty and nice lol I guess people are thinking of a single fish, which is indeed a little weird, but I'm pretty sure joon was thinking of the shoal moving on the water
i think its the wording that confuses people. he says "run away like fish", not "swim away like fish" which would be more appropriate but i feel like the line "run away like fish" really gives you a better image of what you just said (shoal of fish or whatever) than "swim away like fish"
RM is only lyrically underrated by anyone who doesn't even know who he is I'd say, lol and yeah sadly, hard to find decent translations for BTS lyrics because they actually are poetic.
I love your reaction! Indigo is perfection, I'm glad you gave it an honest chance. Wild Flower is my favorite but the whole album is amazing! RM was so open and honest with his lyrics! I would love to see what you think about RM's single Come Back To Me, coming on 5.10 and his second studio album Right Place Wrong Person, coming on 05.24!

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

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!
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.
I can't believe we finally won a BTS reaction
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.
Namjoon is a poet bro poet , his lyrics is so deep and hard hitting
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.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO MORE BTS. PLEASE, GIVE US MORE
"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
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
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
I can never get sick of RM's music. Replaying everyday, still feeling it.
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. ^^
1:02 his voice is actually much lower in real life! He mentioned that he tends to rap/sing in a higher tone than usual since it has a clearer pronunciation for ppl to hear hahaha
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 :)
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.
BEEN WAITING SINCE BUTTER I'M CRYINGKSK
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 🥹
omg im so glad you enjoyed the album troy!!!! i think youd love the lyricism of RM's second solo projet 'mono'
oh my gosh, you have all my respect for reacting to BTS, not just that, but the lyrical genius himself KIM NAMJOON!!! RM?! No fvckin way this is your first reaction to your first BTS solo!!! That's a wonderful way to start off your rabbit hole journey, that's all I'll say 😂 Man, don't feel bad about being late to a party, as our fandom says, you don't find BTS, BTS find *you.* Please continue to react to more BTS. I pity those who have no idea BTS exist and create such good music, especially as SOLOISTS! Seriously, people are missing out. It truly is such a shame because their music is so. mother. fucking. G-O-O-D. You don't understand 💀 Best part is their discography is so diverse, there's literally something for everyone, rap/hiphop? r&b? jazz? rock? pop? indie? ballads? there's literally everything with BTS. But wait it gets better: They're self-made. They write, produce, compose, dance, rap and sing, they literally do everything. But that's just the music aspect, it's get better once you dive into them as people and see they're so really down to earth, humbled ass men with amazing personalities. It's a shame some of us have just gotten into them a decade into their careers...Better late than never. Please continue down the rabbit hole, you're about to open a whole new world that you'll never realize you needed. Please, please continue your Bangtan journey. There's a reason we're so in love with these guys. There's a reason we're so passionate and empathetic on spreading BTS worldwide and why ARMY will blow up your notifications from this one reaction. You won't realize what hit you. You have no idea what you've just done 😂💜
You guys are so annoying
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 🥹🥹🥹
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
His entire album is such a masterpiece 💙💙💙
We need now a Right Place, Wrong Person review 🙌🏼
I think it’s interesting to look at rms indigo versus jhopes Jack in the box and how each of them showcased very different aspects of being great musicians. Jhopes album had zero collabs and he was able to convey all the emotions and all the story with his own voice. And rms album had a lot of collabs, but it all worked because rm knew exactly who he needed for each song to make it come alive for the listener. I just love them and getting to see how each of them goes about making solo music. Different from some kpop idols solo music where it’s just meant to be catchy and current, these solo projects feel like they can last a lifetime because they tell us so much about them as individuals
When I first heard the "run away like a fish" line, the English teacher in me cringed slightly. As a native English speaker, I would have preferred it to be "dart away like a fish" or "slip away like a fish". But I realised that I can't judge artists who are expressing themselves in their own way. RM is fluent in Korean, English, and Japanese and writes lyrics in all languages. He also likes to play with languages and create neologisms. He's always intentional in his choice of words. I also realised that being snobbish about "proper English" has connotations of imperialism and seeing a certain form of English as "superior" is incredibly problematic. So I keep reminding myself that. Same with "flowerwork"
just like on best of me the lyric goes,
you gave me the best of me
so you gave you the best of you..
i don't think it is grammarly correct but it works
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
OHMYGODDDDD FINALLYYYY!!!!! Thank you for this, really! His past playlist/mixtape (Mono) means to me A LOOOOT!!! AND YOU REACTING TO NAMJOON AND HYPING TO EVERY SONGS???? YOU CRYING OVER WILD FLOWER AS WELL?!!!!! OHMYGODDDDD IM CRYING REALLY THANK YOU LOVE YOUUU!!! 🤧💜
this album is gold.
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.
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^^
OMMGGG I’M SO HAPPY YOU REACTING TO RM THIS IS LEGIT MY FAV ALBUM
I recommend Rm mono album i sure you would like his lyricism in that album
I'm so glad you listen to RM'S music! Your reaction was amazing! As usual
Man cried in wildflower 😭😭😭
After RM, you need listen all albums from Suga aka August D. So awesome
i'd never seen people being this excited to see a man cry until i subscribed to hthaze
Indingo changed my life!!!! since it's release to this day is one of my favorite albums, namjoon outdid himself sm with this one is full of art and soul i love it so much
P.S I'm still waiting for you to react to rm's Mono album im sure you'll love it 🙏🏼
I WON TODAY LIKE IM SO HAPPY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO INDIGO SINCE IT WAS RELEASED 😭💗 i hope this introduction with RM makes you want to listen to BTS or the other members solo music :,) these are some albums i’d recommend i hope you can react to them one day!
Jack In The Box - J-Hope
You Never Walk Alone - BTS
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever - BTS
Love Yourself: Tear - BTS
MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 - BTS
Thank you for giving RM a chance this makes all people who love the boys that watch you so so happy 🌟
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.
Yeah if you follow RM you know he loves art and museums, which makes since why it’s such a big part of his music. I think it’s cool that he included that.
your personality is just 💫chefs kisses💫 & the editing is SO freaking funny, & i adored how you really spent your time taking in the album & even reading the lyrics & watching the music videos!! thank you for this wonderful video
I'm pretty sure the line 'but you ran away like fish" in closer is a reference to another one of his lyrics in his collab with gaeko called "gajah" where he says "if you wanna be a fish, be selfish", so like he's saying the person is being selfish by running away
Indigo is such a treat😊 it is pure auditorial bliss. You mentioned how some sounds hit you on his delivery, RM said that lyrics important to him also how syllables hit ear.
Hope you will check out other solo albums from BTS members: Jack in the Box by Jhope and Face by Jimin that comes out next week💜
Oh you'll love his tiny desk concert!! You should check it out
AMAZING REACTION!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO REACT TO MORE OF BTS CONTENT CUZ ALMOST EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN BY RM
To me RM sounds like he needed to explore the path not taken. The solo indie underground rap pathway. Away from BTS. Fans may stone me for saying this. But it is all over his lyrics. People telling him he won’t make it alone outside BTS. Him wondering what this means for him the person, the artist, the musician, outside is the group, as he is going into his 30s. Finally resolving that solo projects pre military is sufficient to let off some of his creative steam. Realising that he has passed a point of no return. That BTS is what happened and it is here to stay. It is a pity some fans won’t allow this conversation to be had no matter how many times he or any of the members asked fans to set them free. Allow them out of the box, to breath, to re-centre.
You may also want to check out the lyrics of For Youth and Take Two (by BTS, he writes his verses and some of the vocalists') regarding that, and any of his many livestreams. They're both songs dedicated to ARMY, the fanbase, and Take Two is referenced in Closer (Indigo) "It's gonna be the take two, stay where you are." Take Two (both songs really) shows how he feels about continuing as BTS and what that means to him.
Indigo was about his own journey as an artist, and chapter 2 of BTS is about them being ready to be their own artists in addition to being a team as BTS. They're very clear about their plans, so anyone correcting you would know from how they talk about it. If he had made the decision to stop being BTS, as they were so close to doing in 2018, then it would be what he wants, but everything he's said is that he wants to do BTS until he retires. You can check the second time he's on Suchwita (a talk show on youtube hosted by his bandmate) for an example of when he talks about that.
AS AN ARMY AND LONG TIME WATCHER IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE YOU REACTING TO JOONIE ( RM/NAMJOON)!!! And im so glad you liked it! Its an album for the ages
YAAAAAAAAY.
Jack in the Box by J-Hope next, pleaseeeeee ❤️🙏
I'm so happy you reacted to RM, I had a lot of fun watching this video!!! thank u!!!
Will always tune into a bts review!!! Their bsides and solo projects are such great gems, and I love hearing about their production! ❤
Such a great reaction, I love the way you actually feel the music. ❤❤ RM is actually a genius with lyrics and producing, and the guest artists on this album are seriously next tier. Now that you’re getting a taste of Korean rap, would love to see your thoughts on the albums from the other two rappers in BTS, Jhope and Suga (Agust D). 😊
Dying to hear what you think of his new album, “Right Place, Wrong Person.” It’s so trippy and completely different from anything he has done both with BTS and on his own.
Ok loved this reaction (this album is a little masterpiece imo) but I gotta get justice for the “run away like fish” line 😂 because I love it and the imagery is so evocative for me…like if you drop a stone in a pond and the fish all dart away so fast and disappear. I know “run” is a weird choice of word but RM loves to play with words and sounds and has said that he’ll purposefully use a word in a creative way even if it isn’t exactly “grammatically correct” if he prefers the sound of it (“yesterday was a hectic” being another example of that 😂). But I digress way too much….this was such a great reaction and it’s awesome to see the lyricism and beautiful production choices being appreciated. And the way he chose his collaborators…each of those voices is so right for the tone and mood of each song that I couldn’t imagine anyone else in their place. RM is a legit artist…for real for real.
I would absolutely love to see you react to full bts albums someday, people don't realise how many genres they encompass and also how great their lyrics and production are
i wish he had the doolset lyrics instead omg
Your reaction was such fun to watch. And wholeheartedly agree about the quality of the production of the album! It’s so cohesive and tight.
MONO!!!!! You’ll love
This album reaction gave me so much joy, I shed a tear at Wildflower. Nothing gets me more than people experiencing their beauty. I can’t wait to keep rewatching this one🥹💜
i cry every time i listen to wild flower but seeing another person cry made me more emotional LMAOOOO YOU GET IT
This album is truly an underrated masterpiece. Would love to see what you think about the single Come Back To Me by RM coming on 5.10! His second studio album Right Place Wrong Person is coming on 05.24!
yess same....i want him to react to rpwp
I love watching ppl’s reaction to yoojeen’s voice, she’s honestly so amazing
OMFG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME IM SO EXCITED
Edit: I always love to hear your professional opinions on albums i love and as always i had a great time watching this ♥️
nahh i started crying with you too during wildflower, this song is so personal to me you can't cry alone to this :'(((( I'm so in love with no.2 being the ending for the album because it ends on such a positive note!!! Although when he says the past is the past, no looking back, it's not necessarily leaving bts in the past because they're also his future, more like leaving all the hardships behind and not blaming yourself for any of your mistakes because you did the you could at the time. The song also fits the feature, she's a famous older artists and she's had a difficult life in the industry, but she can also sing this to him as he's younger and she's reassuring him.
Thanks for reacting to our leader. He deserves all the love! Appreciate your reaction so much.
Korean from a standpoint of the sounds in the language works so well for rap and for singing. I’m so glad you caught that so fast. It makes the process of listening even if you don’t know the meaning so enjoyable
AHH was so excited to see this pop up, Namjoon truly is an incredible lyricist. This album is such a treasure to me, I hope you explore more of the BTS discography because it's incredible.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION I LOVE ITTTT. RM is going to have another album out 24 may and a pre-release on 10 may. Could you maybe react again when that time come?
This is genuinely the best album reaction I've ever watched. And the edits are so fun 😂😂
I have seen so many people be weirded out by the "run away like fish" line
Idk what you guys imagine, but first thing that came to mind when I heard the line was of those videos of the deep ocean, and a beautiful shoal (had to Google that word) of fish that spreads out as soon as the marine current changes, or a whale tries to eat them or something, and that image is really pretty and nice lol
I guess people are thinking of a single fish, which is indeed a little weird, but I'm pretty sure joon was thinking of the shoal moving on the water
I still think "fish" is the person he's singing about... knowing his lyricism, no way he can't use another word. Everything RM does is purposeful
@@kw6180 hmm... this is interesting... maybe its a play on the name of the person...
i think its the wording that confuses people. he says "run away like fish", not "swim away like fish" which would be more appropriate but i feel like the line "run away like fish" really gives you a better image of what you just said (shoal of fish or whatever) than "swim away like fish"
@@soboksobok9488 EXACTLY. Nickname or inside joke even...
@@soboksobok9488 run away like a person... he is singing about "that" relationship
OMG i never thought you’d react to this!!!! i love indigo and namjoon so excited to watch 😭😭😭😭
RM is only lyrically underrated by anyone who doesn't even know who he is I'd say, lol and yeah sadly, hard to find decent translations for BTS lyrics because they actually are poetic.
Also, the stuff RM is talking about is nothing like what 1D experienced lol.
I love your reaction! Indigo is perfection, I'm glad you gave it an honest chance. Wild Flower is my favorite but the whole album is amazing! RM was so open and honest with his lyrics! I would love to see what you think about RM's single Come Back To Me, coming on 5.10 and his second studio album Right Place Wrong Person, coming on 05.24!
I love this album so much!
