This album is so authentic and human feeling. No rules just music and vibes. I had no idea what to expect but it wasn’t this and I’m still obsessed. There is a reason big names like NME, billboard, rolling stone etc are all calling this one of the top albums of the year. No ticks to give RM is my favorite thing. Can’t even pick a favorite song because it’s like songs flow into each other. I just hope it has lasting power it deserves so much support. Imagine the risk to release an experimental album like this when you aren’t there to hype it/support it and have been gone for over 6 months. The trust and fearlessness is staggering. BTs is built different.
RM created his music without being preoccupied with commercial popularity or chart performance. If he had wanted to, he could have easily collaborated with famous international artists or created much more mainstream music to gain more public attention. Instead, he simply showcased the musical world he pursued together with indie musicians he liked and wanted to work with. but he simply showcased the musical world he pursued with indie musicians he liked and wanted to work with. Some might easily say that because he's already succeeded as much as BTS, he can now make whatever music he wants. However, it's never easy for someone who has achieved great success to make a principled choice knowing it might not measure up to their previous accomplishments. I'm so proud of Namjoon, the leader of BTS!!! (There's a video called "교환앨범MMM (Mini & Moni Music)" on the BangtanTV channel where he talks candidly about this album with Jimin. I highly recommend watching it if you have time. He honestly explains what thoughts led him to release this kind of album.)
This album keeps throwing me for a loop. I couldn’t tell you what my favorite song is because a different one “leads” every time I listen to it. Each song is like a different ride at an amusement park. Nuts is a roller coaster. Heaven leaves me feeling very peaceful sometimes and other times teary & emotional.
Domodachi MV: I think the place he goes back to in a way is "the industry": sometimes "friends pull you to do things, sometimes you feel like it's a fight, a fire, even dreaded commuting job... but he returns to that chaos. Because he knows he has at least 1 friend willing to listen, to help. And sometimes I feel the "bitch" and "I don't want to know you" "I regret this/that" could be... Just COULD be about "music industry" and all that surrounds it.
The whole album is SO GOOD! The amount of times I got the goosebumps while listening to it.. The lyrics and the production go insane It blew my expectations and they were already so high. I'm so proud of Namjoon RPWP ate so bad. Literally the album of the year. It's incredible. Namjoon said that he lived a dynamic live and that when he became friend with an artist, that person mentioned how contradicting his personality is, that's how the beginning of this whole project started. Jimin mentioned that in Indigo he felt that Namjoon still had something else buried and that everything came out in this album. And he's so right! I totally feel that in RPWP the explosion of freedom, conflicted emotions and inner thoughts are more noticeable. Namjoon portrayed that contradictory self really well. It felt like a story line but at the same time full of ups and downs and unexpected changes. 🔥 I hope this album gets the recognition it deserves and I hope armys remember the importance of being constant, he's getting a lot of attention by many music critics and magazines getting 5 stars and even recognition by locals so please keep supporting it! 💜
Loved your reaction Gabbasi! as always u r so attentive.. 💜 This album is like being inside RM's head and it's crowded in there. There's alot of organised chaos going on and sometimes it's noisy: other times it's quiet. All his moods and emotions are represented. He had a lot to say and he wanted people to hear him, I think this is why it's so chastic and all over the place. It's like listen to me, hear me, I have things going on and no one listening/seeing me for actually me". RM moves in those artistic, eclectic circles that he enjoys, The feeling of each song and the videos takes you up and down and tells astory. Escaping hectic suffocating environments but going back for more in Domodachi. Sharing frustrations in Groin. Wandering and self-reflection in CBTM. The more I play this album the more I love and understand it. Like it or loathe it, he laid himself bare. This is all we can ask for from a true artist. 💜💜💜
I wanted to take the time to thank you for making reaction videos. I knew from back when you reacted to blood sweat and tears that you had such a thoughtful mind and you *see* things right away that not everyone picks up on. I wish you could meet Namjoon in person one day in a little corner of a hole in the wall restaurant and talk together. I think you'd get him.
Tengo 5 años siendo ARMY y aún Namjoon me vuela la mente cada vez que lanza álbum's. Mi mente necesita analizar más las letras, videos, contexto y todo para poder alcanzar un mínimo necesario entendimiento. Eso es la magnífica magnitud de los que Namjoon puede expresar y lo que nos hace más conscientes de la vida
Ohhhh gracias! Estaba esperando tu reacción. Soy fans de tus comentarios y ver como te involucras en cada detalle. Este álbum está en mi top de favoritos (de todos los tiempos) en muchos aspectos. Nam me hizo sentir que no sé en absoluto de música, es un auténtico genio productor y poeta. Lo ame de principio a fin. Gracias por tu reacción 💜
Do we want to talk about how Namjoon knows music sooo well! This work is on another level. Now I love and appreciate all the members, but his genious is something else! So much respect for this introspective and intelligent man, even because sometimes geniouses suffer the most.🙏
Namjoon really outdone himself, what a stellar album - its definitely my album of the year. Did you watch the Minimoni album exchange between Namjoon and Jimin, they are such warm beautiful friends.
At first I'm like., Joonie I love u but I'm sorry Im not smart or cultured enough for all this, then 2nd time Im like this just rewired my taste in music & didnt know it would satisfy a part my music brain I didnt know existed. I'm now adding artists like Tyler the Creator because of Joonie.
Tyler the creator fans would love this album! but sadly people outside kpop have so many prejudices so they will always see him just as the leader of bts
Girl! I’m always so impressed at how you always seem to nail the analysis for every BTS song. You have such great insights and have helped me have new perspectives and also see things I missed before. I so enjoy seeing the lyrics through your analysis! Thanks!
Я поражена тем, как точно вы улавливаете смыслы и подтексты с первого прослушивания/просмотра. Ваши аналитические способности определённо высоки! И вы так тонко чувствуете музыку. Мне очень нравятся ваши подробные искренние реакции, спасибо за них!
I really like your commentary, your reviews are always so smart and insightful. My thoughts were quite similar to yours listening to this album. What an unexpected gem. My favourite is "Around the world in a day", so crazy, so good.
Sad you left J-Hope out. You must not like his last songs. You did not even react to On The Street with J Cole and now you do reat to RM but nt even Neuron and Hope On The Street. I thought BTS was 7. I must have mistaken.
People like you do wrong. It's her channel, let her know what to do. He is a busy person. Whether or not it is ot7 is her problem. Plus, he always said he loves Hobi. Don't try to get Nam into your business
Las personas son libres de reaccionar a quien quieran, debes buscar reacciones a hobi, hay muchas. Yo amo a los 7 pero tu comentario está fuera de lugar.
Cont... Hi, i am back. Good reaction(Come Back to Me), ty. Nice song too. Like this folkie vibe. Old school but not. This one makes us think. All those rooms buildings for me is the maze of life. Army on twt saw connections to other member's solo work's and that is so cool. The director of this is a genius. Others think this is RM's way of showing us how he overcame his mental block. He found his inspiration again. Sweet. Hugs. Love u! #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💟 @btluv said on 5/10/24 Namjoon saying "you don't have to be, you don't have to be the anything you see; try not to be, try not to be the someone in the sea" for all of us who struggle with fitting in with the societal standards, the constant pressure to prove something, to be something, to do something. He tells us to be us for us, everything, everywhere, all at once. To be authentic to the countless selves we have within us even the imperfect ones. @mae__ said on 5/10/24 12:53 I saw some ARMY's noticing the time is 11 : 20... 1120 is called the angel number apparently, signifying new beginnings/ some type of enlightenment/ spiritual awakening! @Marcelli29 said on 5/10/24 I could see references to the others members' solo projects throughout the video: Jin: the running , the planets, the little girl pushing him ( The Astronaut MV) Yoongi: the " baby" with the tangerine ( Yoongi's favorite fruit) . J Hope : The maze at the end ( More MV) Jimin: partying with friends ( Like Crazy MV) V : Seeming bored when his friends were seeming happy ( Friends MV) Jk: Staring the girl ( Standing Next to You MV). Could be just things running through my head but.... That's what I' ve seen . @crystalsnow1138 said on 5/10/24 Yes, this song is a pre-release. He actually performed this song at Suga's final concert in Seoul for his tour last year. There will actually be 5 total music videos for his album. The cut is actually real.The Spotify version of this song is over 6 minutes long. If I'm not wrong it's the longest song BTS or a member of BTS has ever done. @Drifty-Alix said on 5/10/24 Yeah, he hit his face on the camera in the first take of the first scene - and had to get 5 stitches. :P @manasa3953 said on 5/10/24 My theory is that these are all different events that occurred to him in various timelines of his life: he was a child to his parents, a friend in a group out partying, a boyfriend in a turbulent relationship, and then a husband with a beautiful family. Throughout, he felt like he never fit perfectly into any of these roles. In his journey of self-discovery, he encounters another human, Kim Minha, who is as lost as he is in the maze of societal roles and expectations. However, after they have a conversation on the couch, he realizes that it's not just him; this is the reality for most people, and life is never going to feel perfect. Cut to him being transported to these scenarios again, but now he is happy because knowing he is not alone in the journey makes him appreciate life and its imperfections more. In the end, it feels almost like an enlightenment where he is freed from the shackles of pursuing a perfect life and now understands the true meaning of living. You see him walking through the forbidden door with Kim Minha, both now happy and content. @junemoon92 said on 5/10/24 He actually gave us a surprise sneak peek of this song at Yoongi's concert when he got up on stage, at the time he said it was untitled and i'm so happy he fully released it army's were chanting his name as he bopped along to the beat on stage. @ideally_bangtan3698 said on 5/10/24 Watching this alongside you, it reminds me of the midnight library (a book that Namjoon has said he loves) that dives into how every decision we make can change the course of our life. @paci79 said on 5/10/24 Personally I think it's about being more than what you thought you could be. At first he was 'trapped' in a certain set of rooms - one where he was a friend, one as a family man, one as a child and one as a boyfriend (so basically all the traditional roles that adults are supposed to fulfill) - but he wasn't happy about any of the situation he found there (maybe bc he felt like he didn't belong), until he met that other woman who seemed to be running around the rooms as well (my theory is that that's actually him/part of him). I think that woman represents the acceptance of "I can be those things IF I choose to - ", which is why we then see him back in all those scenarios we saw him in before, but this time he's happy bc he actual chose to be that and feels like that is the right thing for him. And then him walking out the door of that certain set of rooms he was confined to (bc remember, that door was locked before, he was trapped in the rooms and scenarios that we saw) is supposed to say "but I don't HAVE to be any of that, if I don't want to - there is so much more I could be" (that 'so much more' is represented by the endless amount of rooms we see in the end, a life full of possibilities without having to be what everyone/society expects you to be, if you don't want that). @roguechevelle said on 5/10/24 I really like your theory and it's a more advanced thoughtful version of what I initially thought. My mind didn't go to time skipping like others but rather trying different rolls in life or showing up in someone else's life (kinda made me think of Quantum leap just showing up in someone else's body lol) but moving on to the next room not feeling like you belong or are content to be there or comfortable. There are probably so many ways to interpret this which feels very RM. I mean we may find out all these MV's are gonna be connected like one long movie or fit together like puzzle pieces or they might be completely self contained the possibilities are endless. @JOY_simplybts07 said on 5/10/24 I'll read all the theories everyone has now. My mind is tired of thinking about what's happening. I'm just here for the vibes at this point Namjoon being a girl dad first is sweet. It just reminds me how he bought baby shoes because he found it cute. Yes someone mentioned we got a spoiler of this song when yoongi brought him out at the d-day concert he performed this for us. There is also a book called midnight library namjoon read during in the soop I believe which I think sort of inspired this mv. This is the summary of it. The novel follows a 35-year-old British woman unhappy in her dead-end life who is given the opportunity to experience lives she might have had if she had made different choices. María- Simply put, I Love BTS.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰 on twt 5/10/24
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Good album right! I love Come Back to Me. So good. Girl Nuts has a video too. 0.0 Why did u skip it. He gave us 4 MVs and 1 video. This is the most ever he has given us. Wild. Groin is probably my 2nd fav on here. =0p So refreshing, lol. The album makes a lot of sense though. =0} U never talk to much. I always love hearing ur thoughts Gabbsi. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army 💜 @hannahelizabethvarghese5212 said on 4/25/24 The art from the album cover is from an illustration book named Sweethearts by Martin Groch. P.S. Pls check out Sleep Deez reaction from a producer of My Time by Jk showing his pal another producer RMs album. We getting more army! Let's go!!! th-cam.com/video/tq69pqDiafg/w-d-xo.html Good reaction(NUTS), ty. Good song. Like Wow! This was such a vibe. Loved his fit and haircolor. He looked free. I wonder if this was one shot/ take? That ending, lol. What a stinker. Snorts. Loved seeing his smile. Glad he had fun. So Funky!!! Good reaction(Groin), ty. It was a nice song on 1st listen. But now i think it's good. Catchy. =0] He is really letting them have it. Good for him! The rap fans' will love this. I like the chorus a lot. U speak ur truth man. @Cheyenne97w said on 5/28/24 4:57 I'M FUCKING SCREAMING. NAMJOOOOOOOOOOON. I still can't get over how funny the line is: "You walk like a duck, BITCH!" This mv had me cackling, dancing, and unable to take my eyes away from the screen regardless of its simplicity. The more i listen to the song the more i understand the chorus and its meaning. Basically telling haters and critics to get your head out of your ass, quit complaining and expand your ignorant minds. Get off my ass! Favourite line by FAR: "I just made it and now they're pressuring me to step up. Like I represent something? All I rep is myself." PS: I heard this was filmed in the UK! @rendalay said on 5/28/24 Bbangsang is apparently a Korean meme from an early 2000 interview with a woman who said she could communicate with aliens, and Bbangsang was the alien greeting. So I've heard the theory that is is RM saying that the people aren't even worth human words. And then he plays with another word bangssang that could be one of two different Buddhist terms either about protection or rocks/trees while practicing buddhism or about putting a mask on to send the evil. @SnowRivera said on 5/27/24 From BANGTAN Subs translations :) 2. ‘빵상/bbangsang’ comes from a Korean meme and is meant to be a form of alien speech but is understood as gibberish. 3. The meaning of ‘방상/bangsang’ is unclear. It could potentially refer to a Buddhist practice of planting trees or setting up rocks as a form of defence. Another possible interpretation is that ‘sang’ is being used as an honorific. ‘sang’, while not a Korean honorific term, is often used as the Korean spelling of the Japanese honorific ‘-san’. Good reaction(LOST), ty. Nice song too. That was wild though. I got the feeling it was about writers block. Feeling lost not knowing what to do. He spend a long time like this. That is why he cried in pain in the 2022 Festa Dinner. I think he expressed himself pretty well. He was confused as hell. =0/ I look forward to seeing reactions and what others think.This is an indie alternative album. Hugs. Love u! #YouAreEnough Good reaction(Domodachi), ty. Nice song. It's a vibe. The video was interesting. It went over my head. So i'll be looking for explanation vids and army reactions to learn more. The feature fit perfectly. @DimpleYAY said on 5/30/24 Domodachi means "Thank you friend." @AmyG90 said on 6/6/24 Has everyone heard that Forbes magazines is reporting that Namjoon 'owns' (has songs) 60% of the Billboard chart at the moment and that he's broken multiple records including one of his own! well done Namjoon and don't forget to keep streaming RM's songs and albums Army, and don't forget to stream JK's new song soon guys. @nihiramishra503 said on 6/8/24 I saw a theory on twitter which said that the two kids represent RM one is his childhood innocence and this is why he can't enter, the other is his teenage self. He started the underground scene around this age so this was him navigating the adult world underground, hence crawling through the tunnel. Then he emerged to the music scene, getting attention from the world making demands and requesting that he step up and represent more than just him. All while immersed in the repetitive corporate life where days are chaotic but feel the same. He doesn't feel part of this world because he's still young and hasn't had time to mature into his adult self. In this environment everyone is his friend and ask for photo ops and favors yet he can tell who is fake and who is genuine. Eventually this chaos hits a wall and he is spiraling and getting angry behind walls (the monster eye) but then he's pulled out of this situation by friends. He comes back to himself a little older a little wiser and can now face that world on his own. @jay-gu1ez said on 6/8/24 In Japanese, firend ともだち is "TOMODACHI" but instead he wrote "DOMODACHI" ともだち->どもだち(see the " is added to friend)friend the chorus in jpn sayin みんな友達ここで踊りましょう(everyone who is friend(of mine?) let's dance) so it can be also interpreted to "All of my real friends lets dance together (except the fake friends/supporters)" maybe he struggled with fake relationship i guess. Good reaction(Credit Roll), ty. Loved the surprise viewing. They know that fans and army have left the minute they enlisted. It's really sad. Jimin has even met a former army who is now a Stay(Stray Kids fan). So this song asks a good question to my mind. So glad u got it. Good song, ty. I really like this chorus. This was interesting. Maybe he is saying thank u to all those who support him and help him make his music. It's important to see all the hard work not from one person but from the team. @carols.0504 said on 6/20/24 10:49 didn't expect the credit roll mv reaction lol, when you said hidden reaction on Patreon thought you were going to listen to My You too that is another Festa song JK did!! But thank you!! Credits roll mv is very simple, it really is just a epilogue to it all but as always very artistic!! Yeah the TT is basically the crying emoji or like you said express the onomatopoeia and is said as "Yuyu" basically the "Boohoo" onomatopoeia in English
RM's diversity was insane. I was so amazed he did a great job. he's indeed the FATHER. this is not kpop, it's NAMJOON
Yes ...not kpop...not bts...just RM and his band team
This album is so authentic and human feeling. No rules just music and vibes. I had no idea what to expect but it wasn’t this and I’m still obsessed.

The entire album is awesome! RPWP is a masterpiece
RM just keeps raising the bar, when it comes to his music. Considered to be one of the Best Albums of 2024. He deserves it and so much more. 💜💙
This album keeps throwing me for a loop. I couldn’t tell you what my favorite song is because a different one “leads” every time I listen to it. Each song is like a different ride at an amusement park. Nuts is a roller coaster. Heaven leaves me feeling very peaceful sometimes and other times teary & emotional.
Around the world in a day deserved all the awards.
He needs a Grammy for this T_T
Can we talk about how euphoric “around the world in a day” is and how sexy “out of love” is too? I have all life to get into it…
Domodachi MV: I think the place he goes back to in a way is "the industry": sometimes "friends pull you to do things, sometimes you feel like it's a fight, a fire, even dreaded commuting job... but he returns to that chaos. Because he knows he has at least 1 friend willing to listen, to help.
And sometimes I feel the "bitch" and "I don't want to know you" "I regret this/that" could be... Just COULD be about "music industry" and all that surrounds it.
Album of the year for me. I love his work and this is the best till now.
The whole album is SO GOOD! The amount of times I got the goosebumps while listening to it.. The lyrics and the production go insane It blew my expectations and they were already so high. I'm so proud of Namjoon
RPWP ate so bad. Literally the album of the year. It's incredible.

Yeap she is so clever❤ i love her little give f@ck of side too thats why she is into Rms music their personalities are kinda similar❤
Welcome to the dark side of Namjoon 😂💜 I recommend watching the video “MMM” - mini moni music. There Jimin and RM are discussing the album 💜
This is such a satisfying reaction, Gabbsi. Thank you. You just get it.
Tengo 5 años siendo ARMY y aún Namjoon me vuela la mente cada vez que lanza álbum's.

Ohhhh gracias! Estaba esperando tu reacción. Soy fans de tus comentarios y ver como te involucras en cada detalle. Este álbum está en mi top de favoritos (de todos los tiempos) en muchos aspectos.
Nam me hizo sentir que no sé en absoluto de música, es un auténtico genio productor y poeta. Lo ame de principio a fin.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. You need to see his live video of Nuts - I can’t explain it but his movements communicate more.
Love Namjoon and his genius brain! Thanks for the reaction!
Namjoon really outdone himself, what a stellar album - its definitely my album of the year. Did you watch the Minimoni album exchange between Namjoon and Jimin, they are such warm beautiful friends.
RM has The Album Of The Year. 💜
I'm so glad army more understand music than the others fandom❤
He really OUTDID himself this album ❤❤ no one match his talent and artistic vision 🔥🔥🔥
Watching your reaction, I got to appreciate this album once more. Thank you! Great analysis and thoughts!
Amo a los 7 pero RM toca mi creatividad y mi necesidad de algo sorprendente y original ❤

At first I'm like., Joonie I love u but I'm sorry Im not smart or cultured enough for all this, then 2nd time Im like this just rewired my taste in music & didnt know it would satisfy a part my music brain I didnt know existed. I'm now adding artists like Tyler the Creator because of Joonie.
Tyler the creator fans would love this album! but sadly people outside kpop have so many prejudices so they will always see him just as the leader of bts
yeoowww finally! I was waiting for your reaction Gabbsi ♥
NAMJOON NEVER DISAPPOINTS😭
Just got this album. It's so unique, and shows his genius so well!
Always love your reactions Gabbsi😊💜
i got so much new insight. thank you for sharing your reaction and thoughts !!
Girl! I’m always so impressed at how you always seem to nail the analysis for every BTS song. You have such great insights and have helped me have new perspectives and also see things I missed before. I so enjoy seeing the lyrics through your analysis! Thanks!
🔥
I’m writing a comment at 1:34, I hope you appreciate this masterpiece, the more I listen, the more impressed I am by this masterpiece.
his rap is art, he just tells a story, there are no syllables. I am so delighted with the album, I think it is a masterpiece of world scale
Este álbum llegó a mi vida en el momento correcto, me encantó la reacción gracias 🌱🤍
RM es un gran genio ❤
When you said this album is gonna be nuts I laughed so bad cuz that's literally the name of a song

you have interesting reactions, thank you
I love that you catch almost all the meanings of the song, yas, this is about being free to be him not what people expect him to be...
Me encanta la producción de RM, presenta una hermosa variedad de ritmos y las letras son ...... Guauuuuuu ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stream RPWP...
There's no "Room Under The Stairs" here? Oh god I am disappointed
Pls can u watch to ateez killing voice u will love them❤
Sad you left J-Hope out. You must not like his last songs. You did not even react to On The Street with J Cole and now you do reat to RM but nt even Neuron and Hope On The Street. I thought BTS was 7. I must have mistaken.
People like you do wrong. It's her channel, let her know what to do. He is a busy person. Whether or not it is ot7 is her problem. Plus, he always said he loves Hobi. Don't try to get Nam into your business
Hobi's album came out first, so why is there no reaction to it? very strange. I support all participants, so this seems unfair to me
She doesn't always react to albums in the order they come out. Besides, it's your decision. Take it easy
Las personas son libres de reaccionar a quien quieran, debes buscar reacciones a hobi, hay muchas. Yo amo a los 7 pero tu comentario está fuera de lugar.
she will get to it. She has been very busy.
React to ateez new song work 😂

Hi, i am back. Good reaction(Come Back to Me), ty. Nice song too. Like this folkie vibe. Old school but not. This one makes us think. All those rooms buildings for me is the maze of life. Army on twt saw connections to other member's solo work's and that is so cool. The director of this is a genius. Others think this is RM's way of showing us how he overcame his mental block. He found his inspiration again. Sweet. Hugs. Love u! #YouAreEnough --NY USA 2019 Army💟

Namjoon saying "you don't have to be, you don't have to be the anything you see; try not to be, try not to be the someone in the sea" for all of us who struggle with fitting in with the societal standards, the constant pressure to prove something, to be something, to do something. He tells us to be us for us, everything, everywhere, all at once. To be authentic to the countless selves we have within us even the imperfect ones.

12:53 I saw some ARMY's noticing the time is 11 : 20... 1120 is called the angel number apparently, signifying new beginnings/ some type of enlightenment/ spiritual awakening!
@Marcelli29 said on 5/10/24
I could see references to the others members' solo projects throughout the video:
Jin: the running , the planets, the little girl pushing him ( The Astronaut MV)
Yoongi: the " baby" with the tangerine ( Yoongi's favorite fruit) .
J Hope : The maze at the end ( More MV)
Jimin: partying with friends ( Like Crazy MV)
V : Seeming bored when his friends were seeming happy ( Friends MV)
Jk: Staring the girl ( Standing Next to You MV).
Could be just things running through my head but.... That's what I' ve seen .

Yes, this song is a pre-release. He actually performed this song at Suga's final concert in Seoul for his tour last year. There will actually be 5 total music videos for his album. The cut is actually real.The Spotify version of this song is over 6 minutes long. If I'm not wrong it's the longest song BTS or a member of BTS has ever done.
@Drifty-Alix said on 5/10/24
Yeah, he hit his face on the camera in the first take of the first scene - and had to get 5 stitches. :P
@manasa3953 said on 5/10/24
My theory is that these are all different events that occurred to him in various timelines of his life: he was a child to his parents, a friend in a group out partying, a boyfriend in a turbulent relationship, and then a husband with a beautiful family. Throughout, he felt like he never fit perfectly into any of these roles. In his journey of self-discovery, he encounters another human, Kim Minha, who is as lost as he is in the maze of societal roles and expectations. However, after they have a conversation on the couch, he realizes that it's not just him; this is the reality for most people, and life is never going to feel perfect. Cut to him being transported to these scenarios again, but now he is happy because knowing he is not alone in the journey makes him appreciate life and its imperfections more. In the end, it feels almost like an enlightenment where he is freed from the shackles of pursuing a perfect life and now understands the true meaning of living. You see him walking through the forbidden door with Kim Minha, both now happy and content.

He actually gave us a surprise sneak peek of this song at Yoongi's concert when he got up on stage, at the time he said it was untitled and i'm so happy he fully released it army's were chanting his name as he bopped along to the beat on stage.

Watching this alongside you, it reminds me of the midnight library (a book that Namjoon has said he loves) that dives into how every decision we make can change the course of our life.
@paci79 said on 5/10/24
Personally I think it's about being more than what you thought you could be.
At first he was 'trapped' in a certain set of rooms - one where he was a friend, one as a family man, one as a child and one as a boyfriend (so basically all the traditional roles that adults are supposed to fulfill) - but he wasn't happy about any of the situation he found there (maybe bc he felt like he didn't belong), until he met that other woman who seemed to be running around the rooms as well (my theory is that that's actually him/part of him). I think that woman represents the acceptance of "I can be those things IF I choose to - ", which is why we then see him back in all those scenarios we saw him in before, but this time he's happy bc he actual chose to be that and feels like that is the right thing for him. And then him walking out the door of that certain set of rooms he was confined to (bc remember, that door was locked before, he was trapped in the rooms and scenarios that we saw) is supposed to say "but I don't HAVE to be any of that, if I don't want to - there is so much more I could be" (that 'so much more' is represented by the endless amount of rooms we see in the end, a life full of possibilities without having to be what everyone/society expects you to be, if you don't want that).
@roguechevelle said on 5/10/24
I really like your theory and it's a more advanced thoughtful version of what I initially thought. My mind didn't go to time skipping like others but rather trying different rolls in life or showing up in someone else's life (kinda made me think of Quantum leap just showing up in someone else's body lol) but moving on to the next room not feeling like you belong or are content to be there or comfortable. There are probably so many ways to interpret this which feels very RM. I mean we may find out all these MV's are gonna be connected like one long movie or fit together like puzzle pieces or they might be completely self contained the possibilities are endless.

I'll read all the theories everyone has now. My mind is tired of thinking about what's happening. I'm just here for the vibes at this point Namjoon being a girl dad first is sweet. It just reminds me how he bought baby shoes because he found it cute. Yes someone mentioned we got a spoiler of this song when yoongi brought him out at the d-day concert he performed this for us.
There is also a book called midnight library namjoon read during in the soop I believe which I think sort of inspired this mv. This is the summary of it. The novel follows a 35-year-old British woman unhappy in her dead-end life who is given the opportunity to experience lives she might have had if she had made different choices.
María- Simply put, I Love BTS.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰 on twt 5/10/24
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Good album right! I love Come Back to Me. So good. Girl Nuts has a video too. 0.0 Why did u skip it. He gave us 4 MVs and 1 video.

I always love hearing ur thoughts Gabbsi.

The art from the album cover is from an illustration book named Sweethearts by Martin Groch.
P.S. Pls check out Sleep Deez reaction from a producer of My Time by Jk showing his pal another producer RMs album. We getting more army! Let's go!!! th-cam.com/video/tq69pqDiafg/w-d-xo.html
Good reaction(NUTS), ty. Good song. Like Wow! This was such a vibe. Loved his fit and haircolor. He looked free. I wonder if this was one shot/ take? That ending, lol. What a stinker. Snorts. Loved seeing his smile. Glad he had fun. So Funky!!!
Good reaction(Groin), ty. It was a nice song on 1st listen. But now i think it's good. Catchy. =0] He is really letting them have it. Good for him! The rap fans' will love this. I like the chorus a lot. U speak ur truth man.
@Cheyenne97w said on 5/28/24
4:57 I'M FUCKING SCREAMING. NAMJOOOOOOOOOOON.
I still can't get over how funny the line is: "You walk like a duck, BITCH!" This mv had me cackling, dancing, and unable to take my eyes away from the screen regardless of its simplicity. The more i listen to the song the more i understand the chorus and its meaning. Basically telling haters and critics to get your head out of your ass, quit complaining and expand your ignorant minds. Get off my ass! Favourite line by FAR: "I just made it and now they're pressuring me to step up. Like I represent something? All I rep is myself." PS: I heard this was filmed in the UK!

Bbangsang is apparently a Korean meme from an early 2000 interview with a woman who said she could communicate with aliens, and Bbangsang was the alien greeting. So I've heard the theory that is is RM saying that the people aren't even worth human words.
And then he plays with another word bangssang that could be one of two different Buddhist terms either about protection or rocks/trees while practicing buddhism or about putting a mask on to send the evil.
@SnowRivera said on 5/27/24
From BANGTAN Subs translations :)
2. ‘빵상/bbangsang’ comes from a Korean meme and is meant to be a form of alien speech but is understood as gibberish.
3. The meaning of ‘방상/bangsang’ is unclear. It could potentially refer to a Buddhist practice of planting trees or setting up rocks as a form of defence. Another possible interpretation is that ‘sang’ is being used as an honorific. ‘sang’, while not a Korean honorific term, is often used as the Korean spelling of the Japanese honorific ‘-san’.
Good reaction(LOST), ty. Nice song too. That was wild though. I got the feeling it was about writers block. Feeling lost not knowing what to do. He spend a long time like this. That is why he cried in pain in the 2022 Festa Dinner. I think he expressed himself pretty well. He was confused as hell. =0/ I look forward to seeing reactions and what others think.This is an indie alternative album. Hugs. Love u! #YouAreEnough
Good reaction(Domodachi), ty. Nice song. It's a vibe. The video was interesting. It went over my head. So i'll be looking for explanation vids and army reactions to learn more. The feature fit perfectly.
@DimpleYAY said on 5/30/24
Domodachi means "Thank you friend."
@AmyG90 said on 6/6/24
Has everyone heard that Forbes magazines is reporting that Namjoon 'owns' (has songs) 60% of the Billboard chart at the moment and that he's broken multiple records including one of his own! well done Namjoon and don't forget to keep streaming RM's songs and albums Army, and don't forget to stream JK's new song soon guys.
@nihiramishra503 said on 6/8/24
I saw a theory on twitter which said that the two kids represent RM one is his childhood innocence and this is why he can't enter, the other is his teenage self. He started the underground scene around this age so this was him navigating the adult world underground, hence crawling through the tunnel. Then he emerged to the music scene, getting attention from the world making demands and requesting that he step up and represent more than just him. All while immersed in the repetitive corporate life where days are chaotic but feel the same. He doesn't feel part of this world because he's still young and hasn't had time to mature into his adult self. In this environment everyone is his friend and ask for photo ops and favors yet he can tell who is fake and who is genuine. Eventually this chaos hits a wall and he is spiraling and getting angry behind walls (the monster eye) but then he's pulled out of this situation by friends. He comes back to himself a little older a little wiser and can now face that world on his own.
@jay-gu1ez said on 6/8/24
In Japanese, firend ともだち is "TOMODACHI" but instead he wrote "DOMODACHI"
ともだち->どもだち(see the " is added to friend)friend
the chorus in jpn sayin みんな友達ここで踊りましょう(everyone who is friend(of mine?) let's dance) so it can be also interpreted to "All of my real friends lets dance together (except the fake friends/supporters)"
maybe he struggled with fake relationship i guess.
Good reaction(Credit Roll), ty. Loved the surprise viewing. They know that fans and army have left the minute they enlisted. It's really sad. Jimin has even met a former army who is now a Stay(Stray Kids fan). So this song asks a good question to my mind. So glad u got it. Good song, ty. I really like this chorus. This was interesting. Maybe he is saying thank u to all those who support him and help him make his music. It's important to see all the hard work not from one person but from the team.
@carols.0504 said on 6/20/24
10:49 didn't expect the credit roll mv reaction lol, when you said hidden reaction on Patreon thought you were going to listen to My You too that is another Festa song JK did!! But thank you!! Credits roll mv is very simple, it really is just a epilogue to it all but as always very artistic!! Yeah the TT is basically the crying emoji or like you said express the onomatopoeia and is said as "Yuyu" basically the "Boohoo" onomatopoeia in English
