One more thing to add, at that time talking against the government got you blacklisted. So a lot of artists never rose their voice against the injustice ( BTS during this time was not as powerful as they are now…so this song of their was very risky move) they even donated and visited the survivors and their family. That is why Spring Day never left Korean music charts :)
Shivali M M exactly! Thank you!
It was their female president that did the blacklisting not the government itself
The president at that time was impeached by Korean public at the end and now she is in jail.
Spring Day always be the Queen 💜
Yes, BTS actually took an enormous risk with this.
That's why we called "Spring Day" the queen of all BTS songs because it never leave the chart since it was released. ❄
yes...Here I am watching and listening with Anthony with tears in my eye...it has never once failed to tear me up...It is so beautifully made!
I think somehow, this is a way for korean gp to not forget too. This song is a way for them to not let people forget what happenned

Besides BTS, I really admire Bang si-hyuk, the head of BigHit, the movie art director Lumpens and other people who made this song and MV. They were so brave but the best part is that they concealed the meanings deep inside so artistically.Thanks to that, the song was able to have the universality like misses friends and loved ones far away. In the COVID-19 era, a new meaning was added to this song. Now for people around the world, "Spring Day" is the day when COVID-19 disappears.
The song actually about missing friends. It’s the initial meaning of the song. Of course songs evolve and people give it more meaning. But the video itself is solely about the tragedy. Of course people who lived thru it will forever miss their friends. So all the meanings still stand together
@@douseenow Yeah, Good point^^

There’s another explanation video of this song done by Italian ARMY and it has clips of actual footage of the parents of the children at the sinking ferry begging the Nation Guard to save their children and shows how fishermen tried to use their boats to save the children but were stopped by the government and their cries and screams for their children who were dying literally haunts my dreams. It’s one of the most tragic things I’ve ever witnessed.
The government even sabotaged the divers who wanted to dive to save the children by cutting their oxygen lines and making it unsafe for them to dive. It was literally the most disgusting thing.
The Italian ARMY video has clips of all it. And it’s extremely hard to watch.
It’s my favourite one. There is a lot of detail she picked up on. I watch it once a year and bawl my eyes out. It’s cathartic.
Oh god, i saw that one and also a documentary. I was a sobbing mess for hours. I could not believe the clusterfuck that went down that day. I'm glad that rotten president was put in jail. It was also heartbreaking to hear how many of the divers who looked for the bodies ended up committing suicide bcs they had PTSD. Horrible situation all around. The least we can do is honor them by keeping Queen Spring Day in everyone's memory...
Please can you add a link for me so I can watch this Italian army one thanks
@@louise666333
Here is the link for the Italian Army's breakdown video
th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html
And here a documentary about the Sowel Ferry Tradegy.
th-cam.com/video/5_A8dq2fA5o/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn't recommend watching the documentary if your not in the best head space I cried for days and this stayed heavy with me for a long time.
@@louise666333 th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html She talks fairly quickly, so you'll need to pause a lot, but I really recommend watching it. It's very informative.
I also believe that the washing machine turning represents the ship falling onto its side, and Jin making a rectangle with his hand represents the students who were filming what was going on.
Jin at the bottom of the stairs whicle the others were climbing up the stairs could also represent the captain and crew escaping and saving their own lives, while the students were told to remain where they are.
@@earthmoon236 ooh I didn't think of that. That's a very good interpretation!
I cried while listening to spring day. I can totally relate to the song and the emotion behind it. This year one friend of mine passed away in an accident she went for a birthday party. Last thing she said was, "Hey where can I get cheap but cute candles for birthday". I wont forget this sentence ever in my life. Spring day was her favorite song and her bias was Jhope. And the fact that she really love BTS and couldn't even get a chance to meet them breaks my heart. She was literally an angel. I believe she's in better place but I really miss her. Love you Lucy......you're remembered my dear💜
I'm really sorry for your loss. She will never be forgotten💜
@@smruthikarthik2462 it's okay dear..... Atleast she's in the better place
I’m so sorry for your loss, reading your comment made me cry because the way you talk about your friend is very delicate and meaningful. I’m sure she’s watching over you wherever she is 💜
@@MBella123 U guys indeed are my safe zone and I was introduced to her thru on ARMY group too. It's sad but nowadays I avoid this song because whenever spring day plays it reminds me of her and I start crying. It's fine and thank you for the kind word ARMY 💜 May god bless you~~
sorry for your loss...but now she is in the better place....
The fact they risked getting blacklisted… such respect to them
It was very risky for BTS to take the stance they did, especially as a group from a small (at the time) agency, BigHit. But as usual, they stood by what they felt was right, with the desire to bring healing by their music to those oppressed.
It is a huge trauma for Koreans. The worst is that we watched the scene live when the ship was sinking. The students and other survivors were staying deep inside the ship, we couldn't see them with our eyes, but during the live broadcast, the ship slowly sank over several hours. We were so shocked at the thought of the people who would have fought in it, and felt so angry at the way the government handled that accident. So huge-scale candlelight protests lasted over several months and the president was stepped down.(It looked like her term was expired, but it was no different from resigning. She is currently in prison.)
omg people watched it on national tv when the ship sinking? I didnt know this 😭
G DRAGON KING
@@user-qj3nq2bu2q Yes. Everything was broadcast live. In the meantime, the president was prevented from rescue, and the female president was wearing hair and makeup... All Koreans were outraged. Even in that wrathful state, I protested peacefully for months in the cold winter. The anger was so great that he grabbed the woman and cut her head off the guillotine right away, but she endured it, held peaceful protests and provoked her through due process.
This is horrific, no life vest or life boat? I wish the international community could have help rescue the victims.
@@claudiamanmej805 You know what? If you are deep inside of the ship, you'd better not wear the life-vest because it makes you float up to the ceiling, so maybe you can't go through the door down in the water. You have to wear it when you are around the deck. They wore life jackets, but the captain repeatedly said "Keep inside your safe room (deep inside)." But the captain and the crew were the first to be rescued because they were on the deck, but they didn't say a word about the passengers down there at that time!!
The accident water area is notorious for its cold & fast flow rate and poor vision. The rescue process was actually really dangerous, so some divers were sacrificed even if they were well trained marine corps, and some divers were killed themselves after some time because of the trauma. The tragedy went on and on 😢
Exactly it's the biggest part of their success because they stand for real things which very least artists do ..thts why people relate and love them loads 💜💜me being an army has changed my life alot...I love them so much to be real they litreally are true artist and legend💕💜 SPRING DAY is really heartrenching and emo song ...😢
True!!!💜💜💜
G DRAGON G DRAGON THE KING
I know many people prefer this video because it’s a softer approach to the tragedy but it also has a lot of associations with the MV that don’t necessarily fit. Italian Army actually went to Korea to find out more about the tragedy and built her video on her research. So it fits better and makes more sense but it is also a lot harder to watch because it doesn’t hide the harsh reality of the tragedy. Especially a parent will not be able to get through the video but I still recommend that video.
Yeah the Italian Army's explanation was heartbreaking-- watching the parent's cries of agony, it haunted me for a long time 💜 -- its incredible how this tragedy was the catalyst that impeached their president-- i really admire BTS boldness for this vid -- it was a big risk for them but i love how brave they are and how they stood by their principles.
Link to ItalianArmy explanation: th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html
I definitely recommend watching Italian Army’s MV.
Up
I agree.
Something I’ve rarely seen mentioned, but I’m convinced that it’s no coincidence that the PTD mv has a laundrette. After another period of worldwide loss (pandemic), the washing machines of loss filled with the purple balloons of hope💜
BTS can both break your heart and heal it. With Spring Day, they did both with a vengeance.
Love this comment!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
this!
They risked their careers to be blacklisted forever and they still did it. They even donate and visited the families. It will be always the reason why I support BTS.
The explanation by the Italian Army sheds more light on the tragedy. It will make you angry and gives new meaning to some other parts in the MV. I highly recommend watching it as well to get a full picture. Hard to watch but so insightful. I also recommend watching a live performance of the song because the choreography is spectacular and moving. Formation of a ship, movements like waves and sometimes it feels like they are reaching out for something they just can't grasp.
It’s such beautiful and meaningful - and very clever - choreography.
리엑션 감사해요
몇년전 한국에서 일어난 이 비극이 아직도 명확히 이유가 밝혀지지 않았어요
일상을 살아가다가도 문득 슬픔의 한 조각이 되어 심장을 찌르는 고통이어요
잊은듯 살지만 잊지 못하는 그 순간
찬란한 18살의 그 아이들을 눈앞에서 잃었던 그순간을 ...
BTS덕분에 슬프지만 아름답게 그들을 추억할수 있어어서 다행이고 ARMY와 함께 그 감정을 나눌수 있어서 위로가 되는 느낌이에요
Spring Day has been the longest charting song on Melon (biggest music platform of S.Korea)
There are more symbolisms in the MV which weren’t covered here, an Italian army also compiled a video which is more thorough but since it covers the Sewol Tragedy in much more detail it might be hard to go through it esp for a parent..
One of the instances skipped was when V n Jin make the hand motion of camera it symbolizes the children inside the ferry recording messages for their family members as they were waiting for help to come that never did. The recordings are still present on TH-cam bt they are heartbreaking and I personally couldn’t watch them
What happened was made worse by the fact that the children could have been easily saved if govt actually tried to do something rather than just cover up their own sins
At the time BTS were just starting out, they did not have the power that they do now nd the govt was blacklisting all the artist who supported or helped the families but that didn’t stop the guys, they pledged financial support to the affected parties nd also met with the survivors along with Bang Sihyuk. They are genuinely Good (something which has become so rare) and I couldn’t be more proud of them
th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html
The link for the other explanation
Could anyone explain what was it that the Government was trying to cover? I'm still not understanding that part. Was it that they didn't intervene on time? I'm still puzzled by this whole horrific story. Thanks
@@noemibernal4882 from what I know the ferry in question was 11 yr old when purchased and it underwent illegal modifications to increase its carrying capacity. On the day in question it was made to travel despite a fog warning and it carried more than double the amt of cargo ( around 2000 tons despite only 900 tons being allowed) that too without any of the safety guidelines followed. Politicians n businessman literally lined their pockets with innocent lives. N even after the disaster struck to save their image no unfavorable press coverage was allowed ne even false reports were issued that all have been rescued while in honesty minimal effort was made to rescue the children cuz they just didn’t care. After this a lot of corruption in the Koran govt was exposed and even the president at the time was forced to resign. But all of it was too little too late..
There’s this another documentary too if you wanna know more th-cam.com/video/5_A8dq2fA5o/w-d-xo.html
@@anshikaagarwal8590 Wow, Anshika, thank you for that detailed response. What a mess it was. Absolutely unbelievable. Best regards 💜
As a mother I get you when you immediately think "what would I even DO if this was my child? " it's what I thought after I learned about it. It's hard enough for me to trust other people with my daughter for a day but to think that people whose literal job is the safety of those kids were the first to abandon them? Makes me want to homeschool... But I don't want to smother her either. Being a parent is fucking tough. After seeing some comments on the music video I watched this and the one by Italian ARMY. Italian ARMY catches a lot more symbolism and dives deep into the details of the tragedy if you want to know more about what happened on your own time. There are also documentary videos on TH-cam. I thought it was crazy I had never heard of it since not only was it a mass tragedy but it even impacted SK on government levels and lead to an impeachment of their president. You would think that would be HUGE but I never heard of it.
Their most emotional song so far! The acoustic , instrumental of this song gets me everytime. SUGA and RM and Bang PD are really amazing composers.
This was a really good explanation- but if you watch the explanation of the Italian ARMY it has actual footages of the tragedy and the uprising.
Can you drop the link?
Yes she goes into great detail, but goes so fast. I suggest you watch it at .75 speed
@@farihatabassumhaque2408 - im sorry I dont have the link - its easy to search though - when i found it - i just typed key words like Spring Day/Italian Army -- she actually went to S.korea and met with the parents of victims -- 250 of the passengers were high-school students - i heard the teachers also stayed with the students -- stay safe 💜💜💜
Please please please watch the Explanation video by the Italian Army. It has video footage of the disaster, the government mishandling of the disaster, the uprising of the people in S. Korea, and what happened to the Government. BTS did an great job with this song, video, meanings and bringing the public's feelings out from this tragic disaster.
@@cyann410 , good suggestion. I watch a lot of BTS videos like that. BTS RUN videos especially so I can actually get all the dialogue. The subtitles flash so fast I can’t keep up.
This is perhaps one of the reasons why this song is so loved by Koreans (other than the fact that this is a ballad song). Spring Day is now the longest-charting song on Melon Music charts (Korean music chart) and is still charting on top 100 until today, until this moment when I'm writing this comment. This song is just soooo loved by many people because of its meaning.
Also, fyi, BTS donated $100 million Korean won (approximately $85,000) to the Sewol Ferry Disaster 416 Family Council in 2017.
“Their donation is especially meaningful as it was recently uncovered that there exists a government blacklist on figures in the arts and culture industry. Supporting the families affected by the Sewol Ferry disaster was one of the reasons why people were placed on the list and discriminated against.
This is not the first time BTS have been involved in providing aid for the Sewol Ferry disaster. Back in 2014, BTS’s fans donated relief goods to families right after the incident occurred.
A representative of Big Hit Entertainment confirmed that the donation had been made, but stated that they hadn’t originally had any plans to make it public. They said, “From what I know, they planned to keep the donation private because they believe that you don’t make donations so that you can tell people about it. The members of BTS made the decision [to make the donation] and because we see this is a personal matter, we don’t think it’s right for us to speak on the matter in depth.”

This video is simply layered with symbolism. This video is the easier yo react to and gives the basic outlines of what happened. I think Italian Army’s video is brilliant but also an emotional wrecking ball that should come with warnings. Imo watching this first then IAs after if you want even more detailed political info. I also strongly suggest reading The Ones who Walk Away from Omelas it’s not a book but a short story I think under 7 pages long if I’m remembering (very fast read). Brilliant queen of a song. It’s brought me alot of comfort.
Yes, I recommend reading the Omelas short story too. Worthwhile and the question at the end is extremely profound and makes one question their beliefs.
The Queen 👸👸👸 Melon Music chart was it 💜💜
BTS teaches us something new everyday
I can't help but cry whenever I see someone reacting to 'spring day' explanation ....this is actually more deep...I hope u see some more explanation on your own.
If you watch the Spring Day dance practice and performances, knowing the meaning of the song, the choreography is also very meaningful.
This song makes me cry each time.. Especially the part where the lyrics say "wait there a little bit longer, I'll go and get you soon" - it's not translated in English properly but the verb is often used to say "I'll take you (home)" in Korean. So it's kinda like just hang on there, I'll be there to take you home soon... Breaks my heart and reminds of my companion animals that died before me.. Waiting for me to take them "home" in the afterlife.
As an Afghan, This song is so near to my heart. It reminds me to be strong every time I lose someone. RIP to all of people we lost 😞💜
Thank you BTS for staying by our sides in our hard days and giving us strength to fight
Thanks Anthony! First thing I did after seeing this was to watch 'Snow Piercer'. We have some pretty sick and evil 'elite' people in this world and based on my personal political research....much is at the expense of children. I would also recommend the Italian explanation as well, but it's a bit more difficult to watch...not only because she speaks in Italian very fast and reading to keep up is difficult, but she also used a lot of live footage, on the scene....parents breaking down, footage of the kids in the ship (they were texting and face timing with family til the end). She does explain more of the political side, the reason the boat sank, the politicians who were held responsible (finally). People say there are two stories to this song....the lyrics (perhaps a love story) and the video (the telling of the Sewol). It is said that BTS had to be very careful in how the story was presented, so lyrically and visually they may have intentionally made it difficult to understand....it was VERY risky to go against the government during that time, but they stood up to the injustice the best way they knew how. They truly are geniuses. ARMY grandma
💜
Spring day will be the forever queen among all the bts songs 💜
I understand why you closed out so abruptly. It's heart wrenching to know these things and to be a parent as well. Thank you for sharing this reaction with us. Much love to BTS, ARMYs, and you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I will never not cry when listening to this song or when I rewatch an explanation video 😭
I have listened to this song upwards of 200 times and it GETS ME every SINGLE time. An absolute masterpiece.
Honestly .. BigHit, BTS, their crew, their writers, their MV and performance directors are pretty much like activists but they give the message and symbolism thru their music and music videos .. that's why if an MV is part of the BU (bangtan universe) you have to pay attention to every detail, even a simple graffiti means something .. that's one main reason why i fell for them and the fandom because the amount of thought that they put on their craft is amazing, the fact that they don't even have a large budget on from 2013 to 2017 (their 1st billboard award was after YNWA was released) plus ARMYs have very keen eyes, very smart people because they figure out the symbolism that nobody will be able to do if they don't put the same amount of effort to research .. plus, BTS let's us interpret the music, lyrics and the symbolism of the MV on our own. until they officially confirm all our theories when they released their Webtoon. thank u so much for making an effort into understanding them as artists Anthony 💜💜💜
Yes this songs is absolutely amazing. When BTS sang “Spring Day” at their “WINGS CONCERT”. I totally lost it. Here a very much “Older Army” could not hold back my emotions. Not only do I get chills, they are so bad that I am eternally cold inside and shaking. Just happened again watching your reaction.
I will never be able to truly explain the feeling of hearing them sing this song along with 60, 70 thousand ARMY’s in one place. This tragedy should not of ever happened. But those cowards that left them all alone to die. I saw some of the raw footage of some of the young children calling home and letting some parents know what was going on. And the parents telling them to listen to the Adults. So very tragic.
I LOVE BTS!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I Can't believe myself.
I've watched explanation video of Spring Day like thousands of times (if not millions of times) and yet I get teary every time I watch it again while imagining of the victims and their parents 😭😭😭😭😭😭
0:24 You can also watch the Italian Army explanation video for more in-depth information about the Sewol Tragedy, it's, really really heart-breaking and it makes the video all that much more impactful and meaningful. This song and this video are really ingrained into the hearts of k-army who saw the tragedy and suffered it.
I cry a lot when I listen to Spring Day, so it's a song I only listen to sporadically because of it. I've lost around 15 people in my life since 2010 and the lyrics hit me too hard.
13:22 It really applies to so many people. LGBT+ people who live in fear of being killed. Women. People of colour. Kids. Poor people. People in developing countries... It really is heartbreaking how society is not equal and how people in power care more about staying in power than about those they're supposed to protect.
BTS is a precious gift that just keeping on giving. Hidden treasures, hidden truths, hidden meanings in all they do. Nothing is without purpose. How can one not love BTS and all they give and represent. So glad you appreciate them on this level. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The bit that always hits me is the very short clip of Hobi sitting on the train and tossing a paper airplane. It always makes me think of the kids that continued to send texts and posts even as the boat was under water. Like throwing a note (or paper plane) into the wind.
This the song why I became an army I saw this mv one time in TH-cam and listen got curious and watched the explanation and that's its I went down to the rabbit whole thank you for doing this reaction💜💜💜
That is what sets BTS on a different level than other artists. Their music truly means something to them and ARMY. It's messages and they truly love and care. Their messages and positivity and how humble they remain.
Spring Day is one of my most listened to song ever. It still makes me cry. It gives me the feeling of telling the victims that We won’t forget. We’ll remember.
I can never watch this video without crying. I heard when creating a film, usually left side (from our view) represents past and right side represents future. In the last scene, I can definitely see that. JK looking at the merry-go-round on his lift side means he thinks about the past, then 7 members walk to the right direction=future, to the tree. But then again Jimin looks up the tree on his left side, holding a pair of shoes (of his friend who passed) meaning he is thinking about the past and he will never forget about it. At the end, we can see the sunshine. We have hope.
Also Anthony made a good point that I never realized - when a member is singing, the video shows another member. Wow that's why I like watching reaction videos.
This is why SPRING DAY is the QUEEN of all BTS charts.......💜
This is the reason why Spring Day will remain one of the most special BTS songs. After finding out the hidden meanings behind the MV, I can’t watch or listen to Spring Day without tearing up. Even if I say certain BTS songs are my favourite, this song will always have its dedicated place in my heart and I wholeheartedly will love it no matter how many years pass.
This is the most heartbreaking story ever told based on true story i've ever heard. Imagine how hurt it must be for the survivor for losing their best friend, only because they obey the growups order.. The regrets, the lost, the anger, and the sadness left for them is unbearable..
Oh myy days, Anthony you made me cry again.
Work of Art ? That what BTS does on daily basis.
Thanks Anthony for your beautiful and honest reaction.
Love ya
That hit different right? I've been army since just after debut and I'm still learning and growing with them..I'm always in amazement of everything they bring to the table..It's one heck of a journey and I'm grateful for it all. Spring Day a.k.a The Queen.
Music really transcends all walls of language. The first time I heard it, without even knowing the lyrics or understanding the video, I felt really overwhelmed and I was crying, I didn't understand what was happening to me while listening. I looked the lyrics up and the explanation for the MV and it hit me even harder as I understood my emotions.
The same thing happened when I heard Serendipity and Lie from Jimin for the first time.
This goes to show the power of their music and conveying their message.
This song is really special to RM and SUGA, cause they actually wrote it thinking of the "friends" they lost while choosing the path of becoming BTS, then after everything that went down in their surroundings, it turned into something bigger.
This is why BTS will remain one of the greatest, they don't turn a blind eye and they make sure their message is heard.
💜
This song and music video never fails to make me reflect on my mortality, and on loss. Watching this, this time was no different. I've seen this video so many times that I've lost count, and it always brings me to the point of tears or near to it, where you get that weird pressure behind your eyes and your throat locks up.
The "you never walk alone" always gets me. 💜 love that you took a moment yo do an explaining video. I realized how much BTS does so much for us. It makes us tear up when we hear it. Because the meaning is so deep.
I only want to say this... Thank you for being who you are Anthony, you deserve nothing but the best in your life! 💜
My tears run down everytime I hear this song. Its the second time I watch the explanation and i feel deep pain for those children and enraged towards those who did not care at all!
I'm crying watching this again it really breaks my heart what happened to those students. I'm so thankful for BTS speaking out about the injustice because if not I and many people around the world would never know what really happened.
If you want to know more about the tragedy Anthony check out ItalianArmy explanation too. It goes deeper into the politics of it and why it was such a tragedy. Have tissues ready tho it's a really hard watch because it contains actual footage too.
Yes I recommend that video too. It's hard to watch, but gives a lot more context.
Agreed about the ItalianArmy video too. There was so much more corruption and coverup by the government than was portrayed here. The coverup was because the ferry was overweighted - I think by almost triple it's actual capacity - and divers were begging to go rescue the kids but were turned away and told they were handling it. So many unnecessary deaths that could have been saved. The washing machines represent the portholes of the ships the kids would have seen from the rooms below-deck as the ship sank. It's a heart-wrenching story, and so much of it wasn't told in this video. I highly recommend watching for the full impact of what BTS did here and the message they put forth with this song. I will readily join Patreon if you post your reaction to it there! I'll be back with a link!

@@kpatoine- I fully agree with you combined they give a very intense message. This one hits my feelings and makes me cry for the children lost. ItalianArmy's crushes my heart and makes me cry for the parents despair and helplessness. As a parent, the whole tragedy left me horrified and angry that the children were left to such a despicable fate. All because of greed, negligence and a blatant disregard for their precious young lives.
세월호 때문에 죽은 고등학생들 유족들에게 방탄이들은 기부를 햇을뿐만 아니라 직접 찾아가서 위로를 한 착한 애들 입니다.그때문에 저번 정부때는 블랙 리스트에 올라 관리받고 우리나라 방송국에서 홀대받았죠.
그럼에도불구하고 방탄이는 굴하지않고 봄날을 불렀죠.그게 훌륭한겁니다.
you have to see briliant reserch italianArmy explanation for more details... it's really tearing up 😭😭😭
This song (and video) is so beautiful, in so many ways. Will always be one of my favorites.💜
I absolutely love this song even before I learned what it references to, and I cry every time I listen to it because it evokes so many emotions. As a parent, its a fear we hold in the dark recesses of our minds and pray never comes to reality, I cannot allow myself to imagine such tragedy, its too disturbing, but my heart goes out to everyone who has had to suffer that loss. This also addresses the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. **Side note: the captain of the ferry was sentenced to life in prison for murder***
I am a 42 Army fan ,I discovered BTS through my daughter in 2015 , I am a Latina Army ,to me this music was just empty and superficial until my daughter introduce me to them ,I don't criticize others ,is simple each song of BTS is not just a song ,the meaning behind every song, symbol, detail is a meaning .. That in this generation is lost .. Thank you Anthony ,God bless you and your princess 💜
I’m always speechless when it comes to spring day ..
Thanks for taking us back with you through this journey.
Love and respect.💜
That's why this song will forever stay THE best Bts song and mv, being called The Queen Spring Day (which never left the charts til this day), you can never listen to it and not shed a tear the message behind it it's insane and just so beautiful
I always cried when I heard this song. Even though I just knew this song in the middle of this year when I knew my 💜BTS specially JiMinaa. Then I started to find out about the ferry tragedy. RIP for them who passed away🙏😭
For me, this explain is not just make me goosebumbs but also makes me cry
Please please please watch the Explanation video by the Italian Army. It has video footage of the disaster, the government mishandling of the disaster, the uprising of the people in S. Korea, and what happened to the Government. BTS did an great job with this song, video, meanings and bringing the public's feelings out from this tragic disaster. BTS stepped up for the families involved they donated money and their time (they met with all the families). They are a very caring group of Men.
Thoroughly recommend the movie! I watched Snowpiercer years before I knew BTS, and it’s really good! So good I still remembered most of it when this video came out…and explanations like this one and the one by the Italian Army made so much sense!
Crying time with Anthony 😢😢😢
Anthony, you are the best at explaining "Spring Day." Your compassion and passion are vivid, thanks for being real. I have seen "Spring Day" maybe 30 times since I became enthralled with BTS in late September. I cried all the way through your explanation.
This music MV and this explanation always brought tears to my eyes… every single time 🥺🥺🥺
Absolutely this was where when I first seen this my respect for them increased 10 fold!!
Im sure many of us cant control our tears. Spring Day is too beautiful yet exceptionally moving
Anthony your perspective and thoughts we really appreciate. It’s easy to see that you are an artist and creative yourself. Being a content creator and musician is definitely something you are meant to be doing. You are a gift to this space of the internet. Thank you for taking the time to also react to the music video again, you were right, it does hit different when you re-watch it. Spring Day is a beautiful piece of art. 🤍
이때 이봄날때문에 방탄이 정부에 특별관리 대상이 되었고 그 대통령하야 할때 까지 많이 힘들었을겁니다 방탄이 아무말도 한적은 없으나 아마 이런저런 제약이 많았을거로 압니다 방탄의 가사에는 사회를 비판하고 풍자하는 가사가많아 현재 국내 언론의 환영도받지 못하는걸로 알고있습니다 그래서 더 방탄이 대단하고 나이는어리지만 여러방면의 사람들에게 존경 을받고있는 이유중 하나일겁니다
i have listened and watched Spring Day so many times and still have goosebumps up to this day.
You're right Anthony, it shows all the stages of grief, sadness, anger, resentment, etc. You're also right, they covered the tragedy with respect, and much emotion.
I also watched the French army video, which showed more of the story about the tragic event. As a mom, it hurt so much watching those parents. They sent their kids to school and their own government failed in protecting them. I can't even imagine that level of pain. I think of those parents and their children often.
Everytime I watch this mv or hear this song tears full my eyes for the survivors, for those that have passed and also for everyone who has lost loved ones including myself. 💜
If this explanation upset you, then the other one, by Italian Army will absolutely enrage you and break your heart. This explanation focuses mostly on the imagery in the MV. The Italian Army explanation touches on the MV but it goes into a lot more detail about the actual tragedy and includes a lot of footage from when it was actually happening. It's not easy to watch, at all, but you learn more about what happened. I'll put the link in a reply to this post.
th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html She talks fairly quickly, so you'll need to pause a lot, but I really recommend watching it. It's very informative. Even if you don't post a reaction to it, I suggest you still watch it.
This is an emotional piece of song and explanation. In fact many of their songs have so many messages. The amount of time BTS and the team coming up with the storyline.
I remember this on UK news, and I knew the song was for them..But I didn't know the meanings of the MV. .Thank you.
I cried... When a song can evoke a emotional it's to me a masterpiece
I've been ARMY for maybe 18 months and I still have so much to learn. They are amazing artists, surrounded and fueled by other incredible artists. I respect your reactions (and enjoy!). You aren't afraid to give an opinion, a thought, essentially a guess as to what could be the meaning but leave room for 'maybe not'. Again, respect to you.
This song makes me cry for all the people this is in remembrance for…it just reminds you that life should never be taken for granted and love as much as you can whenever you can.
On a happy note, thank you for the reaction! If I can suggest any songs 134340 and 2!3! Are some of my favorite songs I haven’t seen you react to yet ☺️💜
This is why I love watching your vids. You dig deeper and it shows how much music means to you that you look that much deeper. I knew this song was about that tragedy but I had no idea how deep it went. Thank you for sharing the vid and your true thoughts and feelings. Wow shows the strong character of Joon for writing this and the rest of BTS for putting so much emotion into the song.
I cry every time watching this mv.. like you Anthony, or any parent out there..the unimaginable thought of losing your child is so heart wrenching. The symbolism is so well executed. This song will forever pull at the heart strings of Army or anyone who cares to know the story behind it..
Recently discovered you and this last week I have watched almost all your BTS videos, its been fun watching your journey discovering them. When you first reacted to Spring Day, I so wanted you to delve into it and its true meaning. Thank you for taking the time and learning more about its actual message. She is the QUEEN and deserves to be peeled back and honestly understood. As others said, watch the Italian ARMY version and you will understand the risk that BH and BTS took in writing this song and bringing it to life in a MV. Recently it came out that our boys went and spent time with the families when it happened. If that ever got out back in 2014 they would have been blacklisted to never work in the industry again.
The lyrics:
I miss you (I miss you)
How long do I have to wait
How many nights do I have to pass
To see you? (To see you)
To meet you? (To meet you)
Pass the end of winter's cold
Until the spring day comes again
Until the flowers bloom again
Please stay, please stay there a little longer
It took 3 years to raise the ferry and its said these lyrics are symbolic in asking "How long do we have to wait to collect the bodies of our family and friends that are still down there, season after season". It was raised in the late Spring, May 2017, 2 months AFTER Spring Day was released.
This song still makes every ARMY cry, no matter how many times we have heard it. It is also the reason it is so beloved by the Koran people.
The queen "spring day"💜
Somehow I never thought of watching a video that explains this song, probably because I got so overwhelmed by the sheer quantity I had to catch up to, so I only knew that it had something to do with this huge scandalous accident in Korea. And still Spring Day had been the reason why I became a fan of BTS because I still got the message and knew that there were lots of messages and complexity hidden inside - from the moment I saw V lying down on the train rails, I knew it was about suicide. It was the first time for me to see such great production quality in combination with such a bold and explicit reference to this "taboo" topic. I'm five years older now and looking back to this song and the explanation of everything, just proves me what I already felt without any explanation back then. Damn. Can't help but be proud of them. They are one of the biggest choices, I am glad that I decided on.
We love you Anthony. 💜 This song had me in tears on first listen, before I even understood what they were saying. It is the hardest song for me to listen to in their entire library. Because it is so beautifully Raw. 💜 Masterpiece!
Anthony, I really appreciate how you take time to analyze every detail, this is what BTS deserves because they are really meaningful artists 💜
Btw, Idk if you would be ok with watching but there’s a video done by Italian ARMY. She gets into this MV and tragedy with more depth, she really explains how big of a deal this was, how this crime (I consider it a crime) affected the society. It’s a very hard video to watch because it hurts and makes you even more angry with the situation, but at the same time, it’s very informative and makes you notice even MORE details of the MV
It hits different when you know the meaning right? I tend to watch bts mv without the subtitle 😅 but when i watch this mv i know there's a deep meaning behind it so i look at the lyrics and the explaination and i bawling my eyes out. There's a video that show how desperate the parent when they're begging the autorithies to search for their children, it really painfull to watch for me as a parent 😭
i have watched Snowpiercer 3 times before, it's masterpiece
And when i watch 'spring day' explained, it make so much sense. but there is another explanatory video more complete and detailed about the mv as well as the Sewol ferry tragedy that is better
The depth to some of BTS' songs is why I like them so much. Each time I hear Spring Day I still cry. This song is still on Korean music charts because it comforts so many Koran people who lost someone on that day the ferry went down. Remarkable song!
I enjoy your videos so much. I live in California and your videos usually drop about 9pm. Thank you. FYI, BTS was blacklisted by the then president of Korea, Park Geun-hye because of critizing the government through this video.
u know Anthony, I don’t normally comment on reactors videos, but I’ve been watching ur vids for a while and I have to say that u r the most genuine and sincere person that I have come across. thank u so much for actually caring. u are such an amazing person, and u deserve the best in life. thank u once again, and i hope u have an amazing Christmas with ur beautiful daughters. Borahae 💜💜
I read in an article that the tilting of the camera simulates the sinking of the ship. Here is the italian reaction video:
th-cam.com/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/w-d-xo.html
This song is so beautiful and every time I hear it, I think about my kids. Thanks for the video Anthony 💜 it was a great one
Also, the artistry is augmented by RM's dedication to finding and creating lyrics through his reading....Omelas.
You know what beautiful abt bts and army? This. This is. Every comeback, there's army that will explain abt the lyrics and mv. They will give other armies explaination and we that got the explaination will appreciate everything from BTS, producer, composer, Mv director, stylist, Mv set settup and everything behind the song. Everything abt bts is so special to me. They are a brave artist. This tragedy is sensitive topic at that time. But bts with them fight together. And thanks anthony for this reaction. 💜
I love the thought and empathy you bring to your reactions Anthony, thanks for sharing with us. I always enjoy rewatching BTS songs from another person's perspective - and you always have a few new thoughts for me. That opening scene, I think V is listening for the train as you also wondered in your first reaction. The longing for someone lost runs so strongly all through the song - I feel V is listening hard for the fading sound of those who've travelled on where can't follow. Leaving him alone in a cold, silent world (or place).
Spring is my favoirite song.
Spring day will always stay iconic🌸
