Black swan still kicks my heart in the ass. It’s about the “first death” when a performer can no longer dance or make music and no longer have the passion for performing. That part of you does and the first death is more painful than actual death.
Some notes about Dope: that song actually has a lot of social commentary. In RM's verse where he talks about "given up on 3? Given up on 5? How about giving up on 6?" He's referring to how Koreans referred to millennials as the generation that gave up on things like dating, marrying, raising children, owning a home, employment, and even the will to live. He criticizes how the older generation labels them as lazy and having no will, when in fact millennials are struggling because the economic and social conditions they live in are completely different from their predecessors. Countless hours of studying don't guarantee admission into college and hard work doesn't guarantee a job. Thus, "Dope" is a work anthem that celebrates all the effort that youth put in with lyrics like "I reject rejection." Their outfits represent different careers because they are representing their generation.
The phrase is "n-po generation". You can look it up on wikipedia. (not "you" Mira but everyone else 😉) 💜
No you're wrong about what name RM is saying when you saying giving up on three or giving up on six he means the K-pop industry giving up on members that they picked the B in different boy bands so I don't know where you got your commentary from about that but it is definitely wrong you're obviously not a BTS Army why do people have to make things into a 3-hour novel on here wanted a simple thing and it's about giving up on members that were already in the band SMH
@@jackiestow4294 I have no idea where you got that from... because it is not true.
Look up "n-po generation".... the 7th thing to give up on is hope.
Not to mention that that is far more meaningfull. And why "give up" on BTS? The label always had their back as had Army. The rest never was interested in them in the first place. So what you said makes no sense at all?
@@jackiestow4294 ???? You are totally wrong, dear. Army knows what's the meaning of the song, and obviously, you don't. Mira said the truth, make you're own resarch please before being rude
In some countries like mine..It relates to Gen-Z like us more than millenials.
Black swan is probably one of their deepest songs. Its related to a quote by Martha Graham, “a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” So their basically fearing losing their love for art or in this case music and say that would be their first death. The shadow at the end represents them embracing their darkest fears.
You getting distracted by jungkook is such a mood honestly! He was born to perform, he’s incredibly talented and he always shines. Its one of the many reasons why he’s my bias🤍
for black swan, its actually presentating artists' fear of losing passion for what they love to do or create (in bts case, their passion for music), they feel like losing passion for what they love is a painful death.
And the song also has their solution to that, which is to acknowledge that the shadow itself is also part of you, and make peace with that.
It's my favorite, I think. I come back to it again and again.
"Jimin and JK have a very strong presence that's just making me...gay" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh man, I love your sense of humor. And I honestly just really like your vibe in general. You're incredibly sweet and funny. I'm excited for the rest of BTS week!
Hahahaha… Yaaasss!! The “Say What” shout out during Dope!!! I love when this happens… RM says say what a lot in concert too! Hehe 😍😜🥰
facts
we all call suga "meow meow" bc he's cute like a cat and now even the members joke about this, so you can call him cute as much you want 🤣💓
That's my cats name 🤣😭

If you think they're title tracks are good, you will LOVE their B-sides, I feel like BTS definitely has one of the best B-sides in Kpop
YES - Their authenticity is what makes BTS special. Everything is meaningful.
Idol is such a fun song!! The whole song and the MV are basically a response to haters who claimed BTS became too “westernized”. Or at international haters who see K-pop as a silly, weird genre. Hence the crazy MV, because as amazing as Gangnam Style was for K-pop it also brought along certain stereotypes for international people that had never seen K-pop before.
Without going too deep into the Korean references (because they are literally everywhere in the MV) we can easily see that they used hanboks, the traditional clothing from Korea, a giwajips which is the yellow architecture where they dance in, and the little jump in the choreography is a dance step called 자반뒤집기 used in the traditional dance pungimul. They also reference some Korean myths like the rabbit living in the moon, and even the music incorporated Korean traditional instruments and in the chorus the boys sing “ursoo” and “jihwaja” which are both sounds Korean make in traditional music. And this is just stretching the surface.
But basically they’re trying to say that no they’re not “westernized” as a lot of K-pop/Korean fans claimed, and no they’re not the “silly K-pop” that the international fans label them to be. They’re Korean and they do K-pop (hence totally embracing the stereotypes that K-pop is crazy and silly) and they’re proud of that.
An additional note is that they actually started incorporating concepts from Carl Jung in this song’s lyric (which they now do very often). Because they’re talking about having different versions of themselves, different personas, relating that to how they’re not just what people want them to be, they’re not simple, and they’re not limited to the many labels people put on them. In fact, they’re a little bit of everything, and they are multifaceted. They are escencially presenting themselves not as only artists but also people.

I’m sorry for the extremely long comment but I’m loving these reactions! Can’t want to see more and hope you have a lovely day!!
Long but great comment !
Omgoodness! “JK & Jimin have a stage presence that just pulls you in & is making me gay…er. Gayer!”😂😂💜🫶🏻 I think that is literally one of the best things I’ve ever heard a reactor say. I giggled till I had tears on my face sir! Borahae 💜
😂😂😂
I would really like you to arrange the days with a live performance of BTS and dance practice. Thanks for the reaction, it was very interesting to watch 🥰
Been bored with many BTS reactions lately. So glad I stumbled upon yours! You have a very calming presence and your reactions are authentic and sincere. Looking forward to tomorrow’s video!!
Same but their are a few channels including this one that I have been enjoying. Most though I have been getting bored
Agree. I just subscribed. Besides, some reactors are not even experts.

@@amberpearce710 thank you soo much omg
Black swan is one of my all time favorite songs for sure! The lyricism, the meaning behind it, the music video, Jimins contemporary dancing... I could go on and on. There is an art film and an orchestral version as well which I absolutely love! When it comes to the meaning, it's basically saying that losing their passion for music would be like a "first death" to them. There is a quote by Martha Graham saying: "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." They included it in the art film. I hope what I just wrote makes sense since I am not a native speaker, anyone can feel free to correct me or add more information! 😅
Your profile name preach. EBS
Your english was perfect and you explained really well!
Jungkook is a performer, and all around powerhouse, that's why you get distracted by him. LOL.
DKDKTV does excellent explanation’s for many BTS MV’s. It will help you! I’m loving your BTS journey!🥰
yes
yes. You need to watch their explanation because you will love them more if you understand their lyrics
Glad you can feel their authentic personas through just these song. Trust me these songs haven't even scratched the surface of how raw their lyrics get especially on their b sides and rap heavy songs. The more personal lyrics get its harder to give a generalised message that the audience can relate to but bts does this well. Because the lyrics are so detailed and specific we end loving the members more. Literally the songs under the love yourself album series felt like a self help book. Highly recommend you go through them on your own time cause their discography is huge.
Black Swan was my intro to BTS. I loved it so much I went way down the rabbit hold. Now I love almost all of their songs, including the just rap ones (and I never used to care for rap). Black Swan has to do with when you lose the desire or ability to make music, dance, etc. that is considered the first death, which is said to be more painful than the final death. JK is my bias, and Jimin I guess a bias wrecker, but really I just love them all. J-Hope and Jimin are the "main" dancers, JK is a Lead dancer and in 2018 they added V to the formal dance line. That said, J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook are called 3J and have a few of their own dance routines. For Idol, there is a ton of symbolism that is explained very well by DKDKTV (much of which would go over our heads as non-Koreans). You may want to watch that video too. Ballads...well, my favorite with just the vocal line is House of Cards or The Truth Untold or, well, they are all good. Also, J-Hope just released a solo album and has 2 MV's out. One is called "More" and the other is called "Arson".
Oh I was thinking the english subs on the Danger MV are a lot more aggressive than usual haha. So I looked into it and found that the 1theK version (which is the one that comes up if you search for Danger BTS - it's the one I'm used to) has a different translation to the HYBE labels version. I didn't realise HYBE went so hard for their translation lol. Well that was interesting and I learned something today.
The drawings in Idol - I think the boys were just asked to draw something random that was incorporated into the MV. Yoongi (Suga) drew a giant Shooky which is his cookie character from their BT21 merch. Don't look into it if you don't want to lose more cash lol.
J-hope and Jimin are considered the main dancers, while J-hope is also the dance leader. So he has additional responsibilities of running rehearsals, helping to teach choreo, cleaning and perfecting performances, etc. JK is also a great dancer. The three of them are known as 3J and have done special dance performances as a trio.
Yes, please watch them live. They are soo much better in live. And I agree Jk also pull me, he has a great stage presence like my eyes glued him whenever they perform.
"Evanescence was my jam" - Before I started stanning BTS, Evanescence was my jam too. lol. Danger was one of my earliest BTS songs ever and I was totally hooked.
they still awesome. Have u heard their new album?
I gotta say you are absolutely one of my favorite reactors on TH-cam. I just love how genuine you keep your reactions. Like if you don't like a certain song I like how you'll say its not really my thing but I appreciate it and youll be so nice about it and not just completely bash it like some people do. Keep up the amazing reactions and I can't wait for more of BTS week 🥰🥰
24:45 in storyline after this mv came out J-Hope's "Boy meets evil"
"Idol" is a clap back at people who were accusing them of being sell outs and forgetting their Korean roots. The video is full of traditional Korean elements in response. If you want to see "Idol" live, I suggest the MMA (or is it MAMA? I can never remember) 2018 performance. I also strongly recommend the 2019 performance for the same award show. Love love love it. "Black Swan" is my personal favorite, because as an author, I can relate to the fear that the muse will desert me. She's apparently on extended leave right now, but I hope she'll be back. Suffice it to say I'm afraid of that first death too.
BTW, if you're into symbolism and deep meanings, you've found the right group. And I really recommend the explanation videos by xCeleste and Bookish Theories. Some videos, like "Spring Day," really need the explanations. ("Spring Day" explanation by Italian Army is the best for that one.)
Yeah. Tons of content. You're doing a great job interpreting things and I'm glad you're enjoying the music. (You should also look up the Jimin Effect videos. )
No because you are so relatable, honestly if you are getting distracted by jungkook nobody is gonna blame you, more now because if that man was beautiful years ago right now he's like a big problem, with his lip piercing and his sleeve of tattoos and he's more muscular now but then he's just a sweetheart and his just so stunning, i really enjoy your videos and i hope you are ready for this journey, bts is a family full of love, support and respect for each other and the amount of stuff that these 7 beautiful humans beings can teach you, i'm sure you are gonna see it but in the fandom we always say that not matter how much you love bts, nobody can love them more than they, each other do.
They honestly can change your life.
You should react to BTS's 2019 MMA performance. It's about 40 minutes long but it's so good. The last song, Dionysus is right up your alley with what kind of music you said you like. I'm loving these BTS reactions. BTS changed my life. That's how big of an effect they have on people....not just me. They make you happier and love yourself and others more. I just moved to a new city and I found a BTS local group...boom...an instant 15 friends who bring each other care packages when the others are sick, and do anything for you. They took me right in like family. ARMY are amazing. Also, I'm 53 and there are a mix of ages, genders, and races in my group. ARMY is always accepting of who you are...because BTS is.
He has listened to Dionysus and mentioned that, at the moment, it's his favorite song from them. Yet, I think he hasn't seen a live performance... So it would be good if he took the recommendation, but maybe, he already has it contemplated... That's all I'm gonna say 😉💜
Hi Austin, I followed your journey when you were discovering Exo, because for me it was also a discovery and a journey becoming exo-L. It was a gateway to other Kpop bands and today I love BTS very much. Their lyrics and messages of positivity inspire the whole world. Thanks for the reactions and keep up the good work. 💜💜💜
I'm loving this series so far, and it's only Day 2!! So much more greatness to come, I'm sure haha
In case you still had questions about this, they are dressed as various professions in Dope (i.e. JK police officer, Jin doctor etc.). I don't think they have any correlation to the members specifically, just that the song is about how they worked so so hard for their success and basically sacrificed their youth to work on their careers. And for Idol, there's literally so much symbolism in that video, it would be impossible for me to expand upon it here haha. In simplest terms, they are embracing who they are and their status as kpop idols/artists and all that entails, including the things many (many!) people on the internet criticize them for.
So happy you are doing this! Have a great day (and love the dinosaur shirt lol)!
You are so cute and your humor is always right up my alley lol Also really enjoying seeing you struggling to choose a bias. I’m the same. Jin, JK, Jhope take turns wrecking me.
I love Black Swan.. One of my favorites is Blue and Grey. It is beautiful.💜
Hey just finish your reaction video and I like it so much! And you have a gentle voice when you are talking really like it😊 and couldn't agree more about Jungkook he is an amazing performer especially on stage and he's an all rounder so talented! And he's very attractive human being😫💗 Hope you could react to his solo songs, the live performance (My Time, Euphoria and Begin) you will love it! Btw new subscriber here 😊 your doing a great job and you deserve it! You nice keep going 🥰💜
I agree with Mike! Danger is everything!
I came in around Dope era. Yeah... Tae is a demon for sticking his tongue out!
you have to see these live, and there are plenty of lives to choose from....
Because I liked the way you did the MV and then a live performance for SEVENTEEN.
I think Black Swan's dance practice is the premiest choreo I have even seen. It's just so authentic and realistic it grabs you in.
Love it!!
Dope was the first ever song of theirs that I heard in 2015 - youtube recommended it to me, and for some reason I decided to watch. I looked them up and thought I was too old to like a boy band, so I watched them from afar until the pull was too strong and I became army in 2017.
Each one of these songs have some of the most amazing live performances that BTS has ever done. Black Swan is my favourite song of theirs, and it's a must-see live performance. With that said, Idol is my favourite live song that they do. Not sure if you have this planned, but IMO their 2018 MMA performance is their greatest stage and Idol is just phenomenal when they perform it!
YES!! 💜 Black Swan lyrics are soo good! I Can't wait for you to watch live performances, they're amazing live!!
Danger was the first MV I saw from BTS, the funny thing is that I didn't like it at all and I passed by the group for a long time, I don't remember how long but it appeared in my recommendations and I decided to give it another chance. The best decision I made in my life.
If you want more singing from our Vocal Monster I recommend RM and JK cover of fools, it's so pretty
This is a great variety of songs. Out of these songs my fav is Black Swan.
JK will definitely wreck you. LOL He is my bias along with Jimin. Those two are something else. Enjoy the BTS journey! Please react to ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film. Thanks!
35:00 "is that a see through" and then the face is such a mood!! 😂
I’ll always love how honest your reactions are and how straight up you are. So happy to join you on this journey and that goes for any group you check out. I came for SHINee and ended up staying, you’re so positive and I wish we had more of that around.
This video was so fun, you unintentionally chose some of their most hype songs except for Black Swan haha. Like you said all of them are like anthems, and they are soooo good live! In the future you could watch a “medley” performance of one of their Love Yourself or Speak Yourself concerts, they sing dope, fire, idol, etc. all together and they go crazy!.
Black Swan is one of our queens, the lyrics are so raw and deep because it shows their fear of one day loosing the passion they have for music with is basically their whole life, and how that would be like their first death maybe even more painful than their actual death. It was already heartbreaking and now is even more because of their announcement on BTS Festa week this year about them wanting and needing to take a break to figure out where are they going next and find themselves again because they have been feeling lost for a long time, this “brake” was supposed to be after the release of their Map Of The Soul album, which contains Black Swan as on of their main tracks, so this song was probably not all metaphorical, but actually how they felt back then🥺. Unfortunately, they had to postpone that break due to the pandemic and because they are angels who thought they couldn't leave ARMY without them in the current situation, so they tried to give us positive energy with Dynamite, Permission to Dance and Butter, they just didn't imagine everything that would come after, all the awards, presentations, interviews, grammy nominations, etc. , so the break was postponed until now after releasing their anthology album “Proof” celebrating their 9th anniversary. Meanwhile they are concentrating on solo projects starting with J-hope as you mentioned in the last video, you were right, I'd love to see your reaction to the boys' new solo projects in the future.
Thank you for the reaction 💜, really excited for everything is coming next ✨.
yaayyy.. boy in luv next plssss. its a masterpiece
Dope was my first BTS MV ever and still to this day my favorite of all time. This BTS week is going to be my serotonin boost🥰🥰
I recommend Save me, Spring Day, Mic drop and of course Blood sweat & Tears💜
I truely hope you can react to their dance practices as well, you can really see their blood, sweat & tears to perfect a choreography dance
I don’t Stan BTS, but I prefer these older tracks more than what they’ve been doing the last few years. And the dance practices are just dope (pun intended)😂
I love how thoughtful and attentive you are with your comments! You have a really kind, comforting vibe and your interpretations are super interesting. I could write an essay on all these songs haha, but I’ll just say you’re right that they’re all super meaningful as well as fun, energetic dance songs. Idol especially has many layers - the music video is so overwhelming on purpose, because they’re responding to people criticising them for being too colourful/using green screen/being too western/being too korean/too much in general…. And they’re saying “okay, let’s put all the things you hate in a video full of colours and computer effects, with korean cultural references and childish outfits and see you absolutely love it because we’re amazing and you can’t stop me loving myself.” That’s basically the message I got from the video! And the lyrics obviously go even deeper into the self-love and self-acceptance part. We love BTS because of all their different sides and different parts of their identity, not in spite of it.
Please do watch all of these live at some point - I especially recommend the “BTS week” on Jimmy Fallon in late 2020, they performed Idol and Black Swan among other songs, and the performances are beautiful.
Super looking forward to the next few days and seeing you discover more about them!
Omg "Idol" at concerts is just AMAZING. Cuz you got thousands of people screaming that you can't stop them from loving themselves. It's such an amazing experience. BTS concerts are just awesome overall lol.
I just looooooove IDOL live, there's something so powerful and incredible about hearing a stadium full of people screaming at the top of their lungs the lyrics "You can't stop me loving myself" very inspiring really
Authenticity is really the key of BTS and (one of the reasons) why people latch on to them
Black Swan live performances are breathtaking!
black swan has got to be one of my favourite songs by bts. it was so weird bc the first time i heard it i didnt remember it at all and it didnt stand out to me but the more i listened to it the more i loved it!
What a wonderful reaction, I enjoy all of these songs and music videos. Thank you so much, I love your energy 😊💜💜💜
The MV and the IDOL song is iconic!!!! You have to react to the video "Idol explained by a korean" by DKDKTV , he analyzes the lyrics and the MV very accurately.
Dope is my fav🔥 That era I stanned them. They were so cute back then.
Black swan still holds up as one of my favorite songs ever 🎶🎶🎶
Never been excited for a whole week before like this... Really looking forward 💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍😍😍😍
Idol is the most cathartic song live in concert, a whole stadium screaming love yourself is truly something to experience
The outfits represent careers... whatever you do, do it well, study hard, work hard to be successful - for BTS, while everyone else is out clubbing around they are up early, working hard, dance practicing to be successful. "I reject rejection". The practice dance video of FIre is something else to watch. DNA: It's Suga B21 pillow/cookie shape. They all have stuffed pillow figures. They are also showcasing their Korean heritage with clothes, images, tiger, etc.
Danger is lit🔥 It is in my playlist.. it makes me go through the handle you know.. life 🔥
I will definitely be here to see the live performances reactions of these songs. They are all amazing LIVE!! Dance practices are great to watch as well, especially for live performances of FIRE, IDOL, BLACK SWAN. OMG there is so much content in their rabbit hole, so take your time!! I will watch it all. Also I am so glad you really look into their lyrics because it makes the experience so much better, and so far you have nailed them, so well done!! I am learning more about them as well!! SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A GREAT REACTION!! xx
I need u, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Fire, Dope, Idol, Fake love and Mic Drop are probably my favorite BTS' Mvs
And well, everything about Black Swan and Spring Day is perfection for me 💜
I also immediately remember 'Say what reacts' when they say 'say what'.💜
You started with Danger. What can I say... we love baby Bangtan with eye liner acting tough 🤣. They were such cuties, but acting tough in front of camera.
Loved the reaction and you chose a nice selection of their backlog of songs, look forward to you discovering even more. With Black Swan I find it quite funny and ironic that a song that is ultimately about the groups burn-out is one of their most popular and loved songs both within/outside the fandom. Plus this song resonates so much more when you take into account their Festa VLive and the guys taking a break from the group.
If you're interested, please try to react to some unit songs. Vocal line and rap line.
I recommend 2 live performances each. For vocal line, I suggest "Dimple" and "The Truth Untold". For rap line, I suggest "Ugh" and "Cypher Medley". I also recommend "Magic Shop" live.
BTS songs from start till Map of soul:7 are all like them projecting Journey of any typical person/ppl from their child, teen to youth/adult..and whatever comes in b/w that journey.
In idol there is a lot of symbolism and Korean references so not many people understand it but yes all the songs you reacted to are amazing live💜💜
Is it just me or do you guys also get a good vibe from Austin lol i feel like he has this motherly vibe about him that makes you feel at ease and comfortable. Like he’s the type of guy that i would never feel judged around even though i have never met him lol (also sorry for grammer mistakes eng is not my mother language)
Great reactions!! 💜. I agree Suga is cute!! BTS have their own Line Friends characters called BT21 and Suga’s is Shookie, a cookie 🍪 so that is the picture you see in Idol. Jungkook’s is a pink rabbit called Kookie. Check out the video where they created their BT21 characters or just one the short BT21 animated cartoons- cute!! 🐨🦙🍪🐎🐶❤️🐰
I just found your channel and I loved your reaction !! 😁💜
I just want to answer/clarify/ give my thoughts on some things you said in the video:
-- About Dope: the outfits are suppose to represent different jobs and the message is basically " everyone can be dope, whatever your job or interest is, just work hard to achieve what you want"
-- About Idol: You are right ! there are many cultural references and symbolism in both the lyrics & MV. DKDKTV did an explanation video about it if you are interested, you can watch it 😊
-- About Black Swan: It is a track in the "Map of the soul : 7" Album which is the second album in the Map of the soul series, which is based on Carl Jung theories about the "self". The first album "Map of the soul: Persona" talks about the "persona" aspect of ourselves and the second talks about the "shadow" & "ego" parts. Black Swan belong to the "shadow" part which is the darkest side of our self.
I recommend watching the explanation by "Bookish theories" where she explains all this + the symbolism in the lyrics, & MV 😊
PS: I apologize for any mistakes, Eng isn't my first language 😅
Thank you for your comment!
Actually, though the anthem songs are definitely fun to see performed live, Black Swan have some of the most iconic stages. Like MMA 2020 where they did a performance version of the song, or the way they performed the song in their recent shows. It's just incredible.
Omg Danger!!! Danger is the title track of their first full length studio album (they had previously released 3 mini albums). The other title track of the album is called "Just One Day" and it's not aggressive like Danger lol it's beautiful, I encourage you to listen to it and check out the MV 💜You have chosen very good songs to start with ;) My favorite of these is Black Swan, love the lyrics and the choreography is amazing and especially Jimin is in his element
I think BTS was the first group to add Eng subtitles in their mvs. Saw a video with psy saying it.
Austin: "So if your favorite is not on this list..."
Me: ALL OF THEM ARE MY FAVORITE. Fan favorites, at least. ❤
Good reaction, ty. Love this song(Black Swan) and MV. Jimin and JK in corsets is chef's kiss. 😍This one has beautiful deep meaning of their lyrics. As you notice like lines " It would be my first death. That's what I'm afraid of ." It has that emotional theme of an artist fear for losing their passion for what they do. With this song BTS dives deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden. The song lends voice to their fears that one day music will no longer be able to move or touch them. The very moment they come face to face with the ‘Black Swan’ within themselves, however, they are stricken with a paradoxical realization that music is all they have. It is a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself. It's also inspired from Martha Graham, who said “A dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” This one's is Jimin's wheelhouse and yet all the guys slayed the contemporary dancing. I was really impressed on 1st watch. Now with the band on a long break and working on solo albums we know this was also a hint to us that they were struggling. Borahae! Hugs. ---NY USA 2019 Army 💜#YouAreEnough

Black Swan ballet: changing from white to black swan - growing up, losing innocence.
Black Swan movie - sacrificing mental and physical health to reach the top.
Shadow/mirror images - self reflection.
With BTS MVs we suggest watch 1st or read lyrics 1st. Than watch dance practice, a live, explained video is there is one behind the scenes. This is why we OT7 they all wreck us every other day. LMAO. snorts. Jimin ult bias, Suga wrecker & V, OT7. y fav song is Your Eyes Tell its a kdrama OST followed by Stay alive by JK producer Suga also OST.
I'm feeling my 6 year early Army journey times with you...not expecting anything literally just go with the flow you want and enjoy this fully .. we'll be enjoying it with you 💜
Also don't regret cutting your hair that much they will grow again..this length looks fresh too on you.
I looooove all of these songs!! All bops 💜
I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE!!!! Welcome to the ARMY family!!!! Love your vids, your vibe and you made me smile!!
Here via Anitra’s channel and I am so loving your BTS reactions Austin. I am a true OT7 BTS fan, 7 biases, 7 wreckers so I am here for it all lol. Honestly? A lot of BTS MV’s need background explanations because they’re so important/significant that the casual viewer just won’t see it. Idol is one of those songs.
Korean media as a whole have never really been kind to BTS (much of it STILL isn’t) & one of the things they were accused of was being Westernized. The Idol MV represents a part of that. It’s steeped in Korean culture, myth, tradition - you’re absolutely right, the visuals, graphics, are all very symbolic. BTS followed it up by performing this live at MMA with one of the most traditional Korean live performances you will EVER see. Arguably one of the best MMA performances in history. It basically floored their critics and an entire country.
When (& if) you react to Spring day - such an important song (it hasn’t left the Korean charts since it’s release) it’s another one that you’ll know means more, but you won’t understand it until you know the history. Until then, just react to what you want, enjoy BTS, their group & solo work and have the best fun! Pay any negativity no mind, just know that for every miserable twit, there are probably 10 positive ones, happy you’re reacting to BTS. ❤️💜
And I love Jungkook twerking in the background of IDOL😂 and the Pictures with the names doesn't mean it's them, it shows you who draw the picture. Suga drew his BT21 character Shooky. ALL BTS videos have so much symbolism and there are always explaination videos for them . For IDOL you should watch the explainations by DKDKTV and by xCeleste
If you’re getting distracted by JK now, brace yourself for Dimple and Pied Piper live 😂
You’re gonna be wrecked by all of them all the time 😂
The best part of my day this week 😍 Also, Suga always looks like the love of my life too hahaha ❤
My absolute favorite is Spring Day. Very emotional and deep lyrics and such a beautiful video. I always cry when I think about the tragedy of the Sewol ferry. There is so much meaning in this video and song. I advise you to definitely watch mv and the Spring day Sewol theory. 💜
Hey Austin !
I'm so glad you're giving BTS a chance and having a whole BTS week ! I love how genuine and positive your reviews always are (positive as in you're never mean or disrespectful to any group even when you don't like smth) and you really brighten up my mood with your videos everytime !
For BTS, I don't know if you recorded it for your BTS week, but I really recommend reacting to the whole HYYH era ! with I Need You, the Prologue trailer (it's absolutely beautiful, you're gonna love it), Run and then the Wings teasers and Blood Sweat and Tears. Also the Young Forever album, I know for a fact that you're gonna love it !!!
I've known BTS since they debuted but I never took any interest in them before that era. I was like "i'll never like them, they're not my style" and yeah...i totally fell for them with that era and here i am 6 years later, a whole ARMY 😂
I'm sure you'll love it if you haven't already watched and reacted to all this ! 😊
I'm super excited to see what else you have planned for this week !
My favorite of these is Black Swan. From the start just saying. Art never get old, and Black Swan is a masterpiece of art that will be and deserves to be remembered for a long long time.
Just a little background about Idol - the visual, clothing, and dance style all have African roots. For example for the wardrobe (when they're in the suites) were done by an African designer. In the early days of Idol performances they mainly wore clothing that featured traditional African patterns or had African designers. They also incorporated South African Gwara-Gwara and Nigerian Shaku Shaku dance into the choreography as well. There's a whole article that goes into the African-Korean fusion that was seen throughout this entire video. In modern time they perform this song with a more traditional Korean sounding beat - where they showcase traditional Korean clothing, dances (MMA performance), and much more. Very cool song & message!
Woooo Hoo!!!! Love this!!! 😍💜🥰
16:32 for you 😂
Black Swan still gives me goosebumps with its MV. Black Swan may not be my fave BTS song but I think it is their greatest song as far as content in lyrics and how great everything is in the song.
It’s my favorite for the reasons you said. It’s so good.
In BTS, the dance line is Jhope, Jimin and Jungkook. The members positions in the group changed over time as they tried to find their sound. For example when they initially debuted in 2013, there is a video of them where Jin introduces himself as the main vocalist and visual. Jimin debuted as main dancer and Jhope was promoted from lead to main dancer. Jungkook is lead dancer. What's really cool is they have their own dance style and bring their own flavor to the performance. Jhope and Jimin were actually dancers before joining BTS. But jhope was a street dancer whereas Jimin went to school for contemporary dance and was the top of his class. That's why if you notice, Jimin almost always stands in relaxed "first position," that's how you know :D
omg I love your reactions, BTS is also one of my favorite groups just like seventeen, my biases are dino and BTS is taehyung, I hope more reactions from you 💜✨
It's kind of funny because I didnt consider these songs to be aggressive, because I have references to the like... actually very aggressive songs from them (prime example is Ugh!). But your right! These are aggressive.
I think BTS has always been kind of known for their music, message, and choreo being aggressive.
boy meet evil a j hope solo. idol has many cultural references
36:47 LOL! yes pls. Jhope and Jimin are main and JK is lead but the point remains, tis gay. love that for you
All of those are amazing live! Black Swan is probably my favorite, esp the live 💜 im happy you always have some kind words to say to every member, armys really love that. And you would know, the hardest part of being a kpop stan is deciding biases, which changes everyday so😅 enjoy your journey!
I'm so glad to be here as you go on this journey. I really enjoy your content and am so excited.
Hi, good reaction however it's true that most of BTS songs need explications video like Dope, Idol and Balckswan because they have many layers. This is why ARMY are known to have great translation website for lyrics and always focus on the lyrics, instrumental, vocal, dance and everything who make BTS music.
