I was actually scared for a second if the live they will react to is during the Epilogue with red hair Tae because I legit cried when he started crying. It's hard to watch.
Those lyrics came true. No one can hear us, appreciate us. It's so lonely but we must stay the course of what we are, they have no choice. That's who they are. But one day they'll hear us across the world. Look at their popularity, across the globe, EVERYONE hears THEM now. How much they struggled & suffered & fought for their voices to be heard. DAMN. That's why they are the KINGS. They MUST be PROTECTED. LOVE YOU 💖 7
Whalien 52 means so much to Namjoon. Sometimes i think he sees himself as Whalien 52. Remember when underground rapper dont acknowledge? He felt he dont belong and he won’t shine but also hold on to the hope that someday he will be recognize. You’ll see a lot of whale in BTS content because this means a lot to them. BTS IS A GENIUS. They deserve the fame they are getting right now Not until you hear and understand whalien 52 that you can call yourself an aRMy. You are no longer baby Army. Nice! I always enjoy your reactions
This song is so powerful, especially since during concerts we call the audience the purple ocean. The line, I'm still fortunate because even if I cry no one would know, has always hit me hard. This song is so beautifully written and is able to convey those lonely yet hopeful emotions so perfectly.
I can't help but think dropping this reaction at this time is serendipitous considering the trials and tribulations you'al are experiencing in life right now...talk about defining a particular moment in time. BTS being the healers they are draw us new Star Maps everyday to help us find our way.
Again I'm in awe of these guys. There's this line that says: "singing alone a song that is sung in turns", I think they may be referring to the seasonal behavior of the whales, ex. Once in a year, and that is very sad; imagine having to wait a whole year to sing your song and even then nobody will listen. Also the word play with whale and alien, whalien; a singular creature that no one has ever seen or heard. Again, these guys are masters in their craft, I'll never get tired of going along in this journey with them. Also, guys you know that you have a BIG family that's praying for you, God made possible for us to be on this planet at the same time to help each other even though is through prayer. God is with you now and always. Love you!
*When Hobi said-----"The world will never know my pain". It hits hard. Hope is always smiling, cheerful but he has confessed that he is almost emotionless and drained at home/dorm. Do you think about the pressure he faces to always be that "sunshine"? Recently when taehyung was a bit quiet in 2020, everyone started analysing and unstanning him because he was not the chatty 'taetae'. Imagine how much effort it takes to be happy when you might be in PAIN*
This is the thought that always lingers in my mind. They are under tremendous pressure and pain which THEY only know and they can only know.. I've always thought it's so strange just few armys are really conscious of them going through many things 😢
I once heard someone say to Hobi "You look exhausted today" and he replied "I am exhausted every day, I just don't have the energy to hide it today". One of the most heartbreaking things I have heard.
And people unstanning them because they aren’t their usual “life is perfect” mode...can u imagine where they are right now? They are so popular more than anyone has been ever...they have to be guarded they have to live in a shield and evrything they do and say is picked apart and heaven help them if someone disagrees THAT in itself is enough to cause depression and all we think about is what they do for us....I wish I could do something for them...something they truly needed but weren’t getting...and the only thing I would want from that is them to know it’s because I love them and thank them for caring enough to lift our spirits in tough times...others may say it once to get a following and then they’re done with you after that...BTS is never done with you they want us to be unified 💜💜💜I just want so bad for them to really know we love them for them not because they’re super stars...
In the Korean talk show You Quiz on the Block, Jungkook was asked if there are things in the past that he would want to change. Jungkook replied that he will not change their past because all the hardships that they went through made them who they are now.
I always thought RM's parts sounded a little underwater to go with the theme. Yoongis "Oh Fuck That." Always gives me chills I love it so much. Let Yoongi curse again in 2021. This song is amazing. Also Jk harmonizing with rapline is everything. Loved this reaction.
Apparently there's a big documentary that is coming about this topic and the makers are aware of BTS making this song and they have said that they liked the song or something. Makes me proud everytime to know that our boys are not just divinely good looking and supremely talented but they are socially knowledgeable and aware. And as usual loved the honest and genuine reaction. Keep it up fam. Lots of love 💜
@@annieblackburn-thompson2019 I doubt it would happen. Maybe there will be some sort of mention of the song but who knows. If the song gets featured, it would be supercool though!
@@gerriberri.4412 Yes. There have been a few documentaries that have already been made on the said topic but I guess this one being the recent one, might have more interesting facts.
*There is actually a documentary film about The Loneliest Whale that will be out on July 9th, which is ARMY's Birthday.* The film director, Josh Zeman, said that they know about Whalien52. I hope they will use that song in the documentary.
This song is very meaningful for the boys, especially Namjoon. He starts the song saying "I wanna tell you MY story". He identifies himself, his journey and the BTS journey with Whalien 52. This song never fails to make me emotional.
Just to inform you guys the PH ARMYs (ARMYs from PHILIPPINES) adopted 8 whales named after BTS and ARMY in celebration of BTS' 8years anniversary. It is something to be proud as a BTS ARMY and from Philippines. Also, this project is inspired by this song.
reading the lyrics again made me cry, cause this whale have become a significant part in our hearts and to BTS especially when it was shown in We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal 😭
I love how BTS can take a story or an issue and empathize with it. Like to the extent that they take you with them and you feel another's pain like your own. that's one of those things that you can only do with music. Tha'ts why the language doesn't really hinder us. Once we've read the lyrics the song is yours. This is one of the things that makes army amazing is that so many take in these lessons and internalize them for themselves. Almost all army says the same thing, "BTS makes us better people." I like who I am better when I have BTS in my life, and for that reason I'll be army 4life.
The whale is a metaphor for BTS - and all the isolation they felt in their early days. For ARMY’s and members this song truly expresses what they endured and continue to endure in an industry that continually stands in their way - even today with all of their success. Easily top 5 in die hard ARMY all time favorites💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
17:18 Hoseok is the stage performance himself. God, the way he plays with cadence in live performance is just superb. And please, he sounded like a recording. ❤❤
This song has a way of finding people when they need it most. I keep this song so close to my heart. As someone who was diagnosed with a disease a year before covid hit, that has kept me in isolation from people so I don't get sick, this song always hits me so hard. People that aren't army, just don't understand why we love BTS so much, this song is a prime example. They are lyrical geniuses. I felt understood, I feel seen. I'm so happy Nico and Blaze found this song, although it is sad, it also has a way to make u feel a little less alone. When you realize the 7 superstars you love and so many other army, also feel the same way you're feeling sometimes, in a way, it makes the world seem a little less lonely. I'm a Whalien. 💜
ah yes, my one-of-all-time-favorites song, Whalien 52. This song has a special spot in my heart because of its lyrics and the emotion put into it. I can't explain it further but this song is just special to me.
One of the first reasons why I started to admire the talents of bts and what they truly stood for. No one in the world can make me feel the way Bangtan make me feel. These are true artists.
@@WhatchaGot2Say when watching your reaction, I sensed a sadness from you, not sure if your recent thumbnail has influenced my thoughts, but just wanted to say, your channel is a joy, all will be good, you have a lot of support.💜
And when you're used to it and and see someone feel alone it breaks your heart into pieces cause you know how it feels. And your wishing them to be happy.
The lyricism used in "Whalien 52" is still unbeatable to this date to me. The rapline participated in writing this beautiful song, I really want to hear this song again on 2021. The lyrics in this song really reached out to me personally. I really want to thank you guys for reacting to this beautiful song #Borahae💜
This songs brings tears to my eyes every time. Being in hospital for almost 40 days feels just like that darkness. These boys helped me find my way out. You guys are The Best!
Whalien 52 holds a special place in my heart, whenever I had a hard day I would listen to this song and it give me the courage that the darkness is only temporary. BTS is legendary for addressing loneliness in such a deep meaningful reference and poetic lyrics and of course, the beats and melody mix are well done. Shout out to Namjoon's part that is my fav - singing alone a song that sung in turns
LOLOLOL googles what the 52hertz whale is then starts the video and the info googled WAS THERE LMAO Absolutely loooove this song! Back then they were singing out loud but no one paid attention to them. Lonely no more, ARMY heard BTS's signal.
Whalien52 is bts and army. We're not heard, we're here singing our own song on a frequency that no one hears. Yet, we keep swimming on this deep blue sea called life,we got bigger and bigger, they think they can hear us now. But it's all the same, if you're not an army, you'll never understand and hear how beautifully created individuals can change your perspective. We're now swimming in our own ocean, bts and army can hear each other's hertz/hearts (pun intended). And that's why army is protective of bts, we can only hear each other's frequency. Army understood the pain of being alone, unheard and mocked. This song is wonderfully honest with poetic lyrics, it's a masterpiece.
now you can see why this song is such a fan favorite and got all the votes on the server! relatable, meaningful, beautiful, and even groovable... it's a track that covers a lot of ground and doesn't stretch itself thin in order to do so. every member of the rap line has a stunning verse that reflects his unique take on the theme, and the rotation of the vocal line on the bridge and hook is fantastic. an all-around win.
guys 'permission to dance', a new single track by bts is also going to be released on 9th july!! apread it among other armys as well!! not many days are left!!
I really love this song,ive never seen an artist do this,like referencing something and connecting it with themselves. when i first listened to this song i was surprised too and i cried
It's sooo good to have you back!!! I missed my almost daily dosis of your reactions... I love how I relate to your fangirling so much!!! Thank you for all the love and respect that you give to our boys... we purple you! 🇦🇷💜
That line "singing a song alone that is sung in turns" makes me think of singing a song in a round. The next person is suppose to go after you start but no one is there so you just keep starting over the song by yourself. Possibly even thinking someone will join in even though you know no one is there. And that is indeed very lonely. No one is there to hear you crying and even if they were they couldn't tell because you're so deep in the sea, your tears are covered by water. They were really going through it. I'm so glad they had each other though! 💜💜
RM's poetic words, Suga's Beats and swag, joke's deliver and flow..their combination in producing music is the best... every BTS member compliments each other but RM and Suga's angst in their experiences hit me really hard. They have so many stories to tell...lyrical geniuses...
Our special ppl reacting to this special song made it even more special to me thanks Nico and blaze you guys doing an amazing job 💜💜I loved your reaction as always 🥺💜💜
This is the one of the special song when I first started to be an Army,,, i cried involuntarily a very powerful song. As army we are there purple ocean of lonely whale
as a curious fact and what no one has talked about is that to understand Jin's song "abbys" and how he felt, we must pay attention to this song, the part of JHOPE is the best reference. JHOPE: " (..) A child in the lonely ocean I want to make it known too My value, Everyday I become sick with worry, the sticker always beneath my ear Never end… Why is there no end and always hell? As time goes by, it’s a Neverland in a cold abyss" --------- JIN : "(...)Maybe you wеnt deeper into that sea, yeah Myself in that sea." Jin is the boy who is in the deep ocean.
When you stop to fully understand the lyrics of this song you realize that everyone has been that Whalien at some point in their life and that are so many that give up and STOP SINGING. I hope people who struggle will grab hold to this song and keep singing.
This is the first time I listened to this song and watched the live perf and I am glad I did it with this channel. BTS’ lyricism is just really amazing. I am in awe. No one compares to the artistry of these boys. 💜💜💜💜💜
My guess is that the line "singing alone a song that is sung in turns", refers to the way whales speak. When whales get together and communicate with each other, it can sound like a song. But, because other whales can't hear that particular whale; it is calling out but no one is responding.
When i listen to this song..it reminded me to the old bts..the struggles, the mistreatment, the hardships, the hurdles, the nobody looking at them, the mockery about their group name, the no one will listen to them coz they ain't famous, the no one believes in them..the lyrics always hit me! BTS is like the lonely whale in this song.. 😭😭😭
The words are poetic even when translated in English,they knock you out,this makes me wonder how it feels for koreans who know the language inside out.How does it feel to get the full meaning as is penned down by this geniuses,i envy you guys.
This is indeed a sad song. I started crying when I read the lyrics with you. Now, that lonely whale's sound has reached the other side of the world. Finally...😭😭😭 JK's harmony is a killer!!! Love it when he does that always during live performances. 💜💜💜
I haven’t heard this song with the lyrics before….thanks for making me cry this morning. So beautiful. They never cease to amaze how they can reach into your soul with just a few words.
Since discovering Whalien 52 and its translation and performance, I weep each time I hear it. It is one of the very saddest of BTS' songs, and even the mild note of hope as it ends is for me deeply sad. In the face of such loneliness, the energy that any hope requires is unimaginable. Also, the knowledge that people will look coldly at such pain and call it a lie is something BTS deals with every day : it's deeply painful and yet they have the courage to share it openly in this way. I simply do not understand how anyone in the world can dislike or be indifferent to these people and what they do. They speak for themselves, but they share what we all know from our own lives too, because they are brutally honest. Those who don't know or don't wish to know hear the upbeat, and think it's trivial or false. They expose only their own shallowness. Thank you for your reactions to this moving, moving song
bts is really a legends. no one can beat them. the lyrics of the song, the vocals, the emotions, the rap omg idk whT to say anymore. bts is just so perfect. i feel bad for those ppl who didn't understand them. esp the music industry :'( u know what i mean hehe. btw, i really love how u guys take time to look at the lyrics. :')) mad respect to u guys! i hope u guys will also react to "the born singer" it's also a very deep song. 💜
I love going through lyrics with y’all! It’s like hanging out with my peeps having true discussions about our interpretations and thoughts. I’ve gone through many lyrics on my own, and I like trying to find a few to compare differences or get a better idea of what the lyric means, but it’s SO much better with the FAM! Much love guys! L💜
Thank you so much! I love your reaction videos because when you listen to a song for the first time you all do your research and take us on a journey together. I love that! Thanks for being a light in this world to so many. Keep up the good work. It does not go unnoticed! Good vibes only!!!🤗🙌❤
his voice is too good too on japanese language,english,and korean.thats i listen to his voice. We always fall in love by Jimin’s angelic vocal, being sound from the heaven
I love watching and getting your explanations of the song lyrics. I was not familiar with this song until watching this. Now I love this song. Our boys are singular in their song writing topics, relating this whale with loneliness. I also love 134340 for the same reason. Nobody else is doing this. It takes a special talent to write songs about these unique topics and relating them to real life feelings we have all experienced. I love them and I love your reactions and analysis. Glad to be part of the BTS and WG2S family. “You nice. Keep going.” 💜
This is such a sad song. Every time I listen to this song. I thought about the struggles they have gone thru. Their signal sure reached to the other side of the earth since they are Global superstars now.
I love the fact that finally they're not lonely anymore, their songs are heard and their voices reached the other part of the world. This song really hits at the present time
RM is like Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. I pray someday western media and music writers will dive in and realize just how beautiful and powerful BTS’s lyrics really are.
In another live performance of this song, V actually broke down in tears and could barely sing throughout the entire song. It was heartbreaking to watch, but I can't imagine how all of the members must feel - this song is their reality.
They have the best lyrics. All their songs comfort all kinds of pain, ego, shadows and heart breaks and that is their stories that made them who they are now💜💜💜 Organic LEGEND indeed 😌 I'm always be your fan Bangtan💪
Whalien 52 song was released in late 2015 (I think) and for me it is the best metaphor for all the hardships they have encountered from 2013 to 2015. They were not recognized and appreciated during those times. They were even bashed, ridiculed and so many issues were thrown at them. No wonder, they felt alone, lonely and without a voice. Well in fact, they just wanted to perform.... The album The Most Beautiful Moment In Life (includes Whalien 52) paved the way for the much deserved recognition. They won their first Daesang Award (Highest Award) with this album.
I loved you calling out the hopeful end of the song because I think this perfectly encapsulates one of the themes that runs through BTS’ discography, the power of the belief in the concept of TOMORROW. I.e. acknowledge that there is a tomorrow and live today accordingly, whether that means to do something to better yourself, to keep your chin up, to manifest your dreams, etc. It’s a powerful theme and it’s one I’m grateful for. Loved the reaction and it was wonderful to “see” you guys again. 💜💜💜💜
100000000% thank you for this lovely comment, I'm full of FEELS over these lyrics and your comment took my understanding and Feels about them to another level 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This song has a special place in my heart, as me and my irl best friend have been invested with the 52 hertz whale since 2010. It felt like destiny when I found BTS and learned they had Whalien 52. Ps. I thought you'd do the recent performance of this one at 5th Muster.
That is so cool and I gotta agree...feels like Destiny. Didn’t really know about the 5th muster version at the time of filming this. The link was shared to us and we reacted. Pretty much the story of our lives lol.
JK harmonizing with the rap line and the vocals is like the glue that connects them all, it fills the gaps so that there's no space in between, making them 7 just 1. 💜
I got chills, choked up on the lyrics of this song. It is as if they hear my 'silenced' cries. I just want to be heard and understood and no one seems to care. I'm that whale. This is too much. 😭
Great reaction guys!!! Love this song and the message, I cry every time. BTS knows how to get the heart felt message across. I've been missing you guys. Hope all is well. 💜💜
Namjoon is the main songwriter for this song and this song means so much to him. It's like he was telling his own story when he wrote this. I read something beautiful the other day about this "RM personifying himself as a whale isn’t far-off (he is one of the main writers for “Whalien 52” and BTS’ music as a whole), but making himself a whale that is used before his performance of a song that he made to clear his head and think-to reflect; it’s wholly him. It’s deep blue & bittersweet. 어둠 속에서 사람들은 In the darkness, people 낮보다 행복해 보이네 look happier than during the day"
This song always gets me. RM express his intentions to share his messages but not being able to reach the audience was dark and lonely for him. Last year in an interview he mention they feel like Aliens on the music industry, because it seems there is no place for them, they don't fit in an specific group.
He’s right they don’t fit into a specific group ...but only because they have created a special group with qualities that no other celebrity has or will ever a achieve ...THEY are the real deal ....genuine...the others can only hope one day to be classified as having a BTS status but I doubt ...they are a once in a lifetime icon
Yoongi for sure has swag and stage presence but sometimes people tend to overlook his lyrics in favor of that when his words carry so much meaning and passion that is very inspiring to me
This was really fun watching this with you, seems like a friend just vibing with the song at the same time appreciating them. Never thought that whalien 52 will be as sad as i felt with 2!3! 🥺 You guys gave another meaning to this song. Really thank you for this. 🤧💜
When I say this is my favorite BTS I really mean it. Because I felt it related to what I went through in middle school and high school. I’m going to this tattooed on me as soon I figure out how I want it to be.
V has cried at times during this song, he seems to really get emotional
I was actually scared for a second if the live they will react to is during the Epilogue with red hair Tae because I legit cried when he started crying. It's hard to watch.
Yes.. At the time Tae was going through so many hardships😢

One of the first reasons why I started to admire the talents of bts and what they truly stood for. No one in the world can make me feel the way Bangtan make me feel. These are true artists.
Isnt it just the saddest thought, thinking about majestic creatures being lonely.
It really is heart breaking 🥺
@@WhatchaGot2Say when watching your reaction, I sensed a sadness from you, not sure if your recent thumbnail has influenced my thoughts, but just wanted to say, your channel is a joy, all will be good, you have a lot of support.💜
And when you're used to it and and see someone feel alone it breaks your heart into pieces cause you know how it feels. And your wishing them to be happy.
The lyricism used in "Whalien 52" is still unbeatable to this date to me. The rapline participated in writing this beautiful song, I really want to hear this song again on 2021. The lyrics in this song really reached out to me personally. I really want to thank you guys for reacting to this beautiful song #Borahae💜
This songs brings tears to my eyes every time. Being in hospital for almost 40 days feels just like that darkness. These boys helped me find my way out.
You guys are The Best!
Jungkook voice in this song gives me some type of feeling and chills that is too deep to explain.. I'm sadly melting
There is a theory that Jin created Kore to confort them, especially Namjoon, that would not be lonely anymore. Beautiful song, Namjoon is a poet
Whalien 52 holds a special place in my heart, whenever I had a hard day I would listen to this song and it give me the courage that the darkness is only temporary. BTS is legendary for addressing loneliness in such a deep meaningful reference and poetic lyrics and of course, the beats and melody mix are well done. Shout out to Namjoon's part that is my fav - singing alone a song that sung in turns
Omg! I just found out in the latest run bts episode that J-hope wrote the lyrics of this song😭😭😱🤯
LOLOLOL googles what the 52hertz whale is then starts the video and the info googled WAS THERE LMAO
Absolutely loooove this song! Back then they were singing out loud but no one paid attention to them. Lonely no more, ARMY heard BTS's signal.
Whalien52 is bts and army. We're not heard, we're here singing our own song on a frequency that no one hears. Yet, we keep swimming on this deep blue sea called life,we got bigger and bigger, they think they can hear us now. But it's all the same, if you're not an army, you'll never understand and hear how beautifully created individuals can change your perspective. We're now swimming in our own ocean, bts and army can hear each other's hertz/hearts (pun intended).
And that's why army is protective of bts, we can only hear each other's frequency. Army understood the pain of being alone, unheard and mocked. This song is wonderfully honest with poetic lyrics, it's a masterpiece.
now you can see why this song is such a fan favorite and got all the votes on the server! relatable, meaningful, beautiful, and even groovable... it's a track that covers a lot of ground and doesn't stretch itself thin in order to do so. every member of the rap line has a stunning verse that reflects his unique take on the theme, and the rotation of the vocal line on the bridge and hook is fantastic. an all-around win.
The movie "Lonely Wale" will be released on July 9th. The coincidence?? July 9th is Army day!! 😳🤧I mean.... Come on!!! 💜💜💜
guys 'permission to dance', a new single track by bts is also going to be released on 9th july!! apread it among other armys as well!! not many days are left!!
of BTS making this song and they have said that they liked the song or something. Makes me proud everytime to know that our boys💜💜💜💜
This song is so close to All ARMY'S hearts because we've experienced the pain the lyrics:(
BTS songs make you think about your pass and presences that you can reflect on.
I really love this song,ive never seen an artist do this,like referencing something and connecting it with themselves. when i first listened to this song i was surprised too and i cried
Like usual, Blaze gets me. :) Love this song, it always makes me go through the wringer of emotions. :)
It's sooo good to have you back!!! I missed my almost daily dosis of your reactions... I love how I relate to your fangirling so much!!! Thank you for all the love and respect that you give to our boys... we purple you! 🇦🇷💜
listening to this song now just feels nostlagic and heart warming i luv going back to the classics
Jk harmonizing with the rap line specially rm part 19:00 is so dammmmnnnn fire🔥
Indeed! JK is really the center of the vocals. He shows us that time and time again 🤓
That line "singing a song alone that is sung in turns" makes me think of singing a song in a round. The next person is suppose to go after you start but no one is there so you just keep starting over the song by yourself. Possibly even thinking someone will join in even though you know no one is there. And that is indeed very lonely. No one is there to hear you crying and even if they were they couldn't tell because you're so deep in the sea, your tears are covered by water. They were really going through it. I'm so glad they had each other though! 💜💜
RM's poetic words, Suga's Beats and swag, joke's deliver and flow..their combination in producing music is the best... every BTS member compliments each other but RM and Suga's angst in their experiences hit me really hard. They have so many stories to tell...lyrical geniuses...
Love it! I only wish them Love, Peace, Joy, Grace, and all the support they deserve!💜
bts’ deep lyricism always gets me :’)
Our special ppl reacting to this special song made it even more special to me thanks Nico and blaze you guys doing an amazing job 💜💜I loved your reaction as always 🥺💜💜
This is the one of the special song when I first started to be an Army,,, i cried involuntarily a very powerful song. As army we are there purple ocean of lonely whale
I hadn't heard this song..but yeah wow BTS- so after viewing this I remembered Jin gifted JK a whale tale necklace.....wow
as a curious fact and what no one has talked about is that to understand Jin's song "abbys" and how he felt, we must pay attention to this song, the part of JHOPE is the best reference.
JHOPE:
" (..) A child in the lonely ocean
I want to make it known too
My value, Everyday
I become sick with worry, the sticker always beneath my ear
Never end… Why is there no end and always hell?
As time goes by, it’s a Neverland in a cold abyss"
---------
JIN :
"(...)Maybe you wеnt deeper into that sea, yeah
Myself in that sea."
Jin is the boy who is in the deep ocean.
When you stop to fully understand the lyrics of this song you realize that everyone has been that Whalien at some point in their life and that are so many that give up and STOP SINGING. I hope people who struggle will grab hold to this song and keep singing.
This is the first time I listened to this song and watched the live perf and I am glad I did it with this channel. BTS’ lyricism is just really amazing. I am in awe. No one compares to the artistry of these boys. 💜💜💜💜💜
Notice the high pitch background sound mimicking the high pitch whale sound. They are so clever with every little detail thing.
My guess is that the line "singing alone a song that is sung in turns", refers to the way whales speak. When whales get together and communicate with each other, it can sound like a song. But, because other whales can't hear that particular whale; it is calling out but no one is responding.
When i listen to this song..it reminded me to the old bts..the struggles, the mistreatment, the hardships, the hurdles, the nobody looking at them, the mockery about their group name, the no one will listen to them coz they ain't famous, the no one believes in them..the lyrics always hit me! BTS is like the lonely whale in this song.. 😭😭😭
Whalien 52 is one of my get up and go songs. 💜💜💜 Missing your react guys every week. More please. 🙏😊💜💜💜
I remember V crying when they sing this
진짜 가사가 너무 슬퍼 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 방탄의 헤르츠를 듣고 믿어준 아미들은 진짜 소중한 존재들💜🙏
The words are poetic even when translated in English,they knock you out,this makes me wonder how it feels for koreans who know the language inside out.How does it feel to get the full meaning as is penned down by this geniuses,i envy you guys.
ughh..I'm crying again but still bopping..what is this madness?? Lol
...I love this song
Thats when Our Mr.President playin' with words.. deep.. 😉💜
The 52-hertz whale sounds are actually incorporated in this song
They never fail us with such good songs even way back before.. thier crafts just got even better each year..
This is indeed a sad song. I started crying when I read the lyrics with you. Now, that lonely whale's sound has reached the other side of the world. Finally...😭😭😭
JK's harmony is a killer!!! Love it when he does that always during live performances. 💜💜💜
I like the fact that I am getting educated when I follow BTS.
One of my top favorite songs! Your reaction made me emotional 😭!
I haven’t heard this song with the lyrics before….thanks for making me cry this morning. So beautiful. They never cease to amaze how they can reach into your soul with just a few words.
This song always got me all teared up. I cried even more watching their live performance.
Since discovering Whalien 52 and its translation and performance, I weep each time I hear it. It is one of the very saddest of BTS' songs, and even the mild note of hope as it ends is for me deeply sad. In the face of such loneliness, the energy that any hope requires is unimaginable. Also, the knowledge that people will look coldly at such pain and call it a lie is something BTS deals with every day : it's deeply painful and yet they have the courage to share it openly in this way.
I simply do not understand how anyone in the world can dislike or be indifferent to these people and what they do. They speak for themselves, but they share what we all know from our own lives too, because they are brutally honest. Those who don't know or don't wish to know hear the upbeat, and think it's trivial or false. They expose only their own shallowness.
Thank you for your reactions to this moving, moving song
bts is really a legends. no one can beat them. the lyrics of the song, the vocals, the emotions, the rap omg idk whT to say anymore. bts is just so perfect. i feel bad for those ppl who didn't understand them. esp the music industry :'( u know what i mean hehe. btw, i really love how u guys take time to look at the lyrics. :')) mad respect to u guys! i hope u guys will also react to "the born singer" it's also a very deep song. 💜
I love going through lyrics with y’all! It’s like hanging out with my peeps having true discussions about our interpretations and thoughts. I’ve gone through many lyrics on my own, and I like trying to find a few to compare differences or get a better idea of what the lyric means, but it’s SO much better with the FAM! Much love guys! L💜
Thank you so much! I love your reaction videos because when you listen to a song for the first time you all do your research and take us on a journey together. I love that! Thanks for being a light in this world to so many. Keep up the good work. It does not go unnoticed! Good vibes only!!!🤗🙌❤
This song is so beautiful and sad, but I really can to relate with this song. They are so amazing
his voice is too good too on japanese language,english,and korean.thats i listen to his voice. We always fall in love by Jimin’s angelic vocal, being sound from the heaven
I love watching and getting your explanations of the song lyrics. I was not familiar with this song until watching this. Now I love this song. Our boys are singular in their song writing topics, relating this whale with loneliness. I also love 134340 for the same reason. Nobody else is doing this. It takes a special talent to write songs about these unique topics and relating them to real life feelings we have all experienced. I love them and I love your reactions and analysis. Glad to be part of the BTS and WG2S family. “You nice. Keep going.” 💜
This is such a sad song. Every time I listen to this song. I thought about the struggles they have gone thru. Their signal sure reached to the other side of the earth since they are Global superstars now.
The atmospher feels like a sea, literally.
I love this song and i love your reaction, i don't speak english so i can't say more lol.
Love you for commenting. Thank you 🙏🏼 🤓
I love the fact that finally they're not lonely anymore, their songs are heard and their voices reached the other part of the world. This song really hits at the present time
RM part always makes me crying so harddd. Damn! how much the things that they're going through in the past 🥺😢
RM is like Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. I pray someday western media and music writers will dive in and realize just how beautiful and powerful BTS’s lyrics really are.
I love your reaction. This song is my favorite of the whole bts songs. Thank you for listening to the lyrics.
In another live performance of this song, V actually broke down in tears and could barely sing throughout the entire song. It was heartbreaking to watch, but I can't imagine how all of the members must feel - this song is their reality.
They have the best lyrics. All their songs comfort all kinds of pain, ego, shadows and heart breaks and that is their stories that made them who they are now💜💜💜 Organic LEGEND indeed 😌 I'm always be your fan Bangtan💪
sad and beautiful, I had never heard this before.......BTS are so deep with their songs. Very talented young brothers. love you guys, BTS is my heart.
Whalien 52 song was released in late 2015 (I think) and for me it is the best metaphor for all the hardships they have encountered from 2013 to 2015. They were not recognized and appreciated during those times. They were even bashed, ridiculed and so many issues were thrown at them. No wonder, they felt alone, lonely and without a voice. Well in fact, they just wanted to perform.... The album The Most Beautiful Moment In Life (includes Whalien 52) paved the way for the much deserved recognition. They won their first Daesang Award (Highest Award) with this album.
Happy to see you back Nico and Blaze.
Congratulations Blaze, I love your song.
I loved you calling out the hopeful end of the song because I think this perfectly encapsulates one of the themes that runs through BTS’ discography, the power of the belief in the concept of TOMORROW. I.e. acknowledge that there is a tomorrow and live today accordingly, whether that means to do something to better yourself, to keep your chin up, to manifest your dreams, etc. It’s a powerful theme and it’s one I’m grateful for.
Loved the reaction and it was wonderful to “see” you guys again. 💜💜💜💜
100000000% thank you for this lovely comment, I'm full of FEELS over these lyrics and your comment took my understanding and Feels about them to another level 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This song has a special place in my heart, as me and my irl best friend have been invested with the 52 hertz whale since 2010. It felt like destiny when I found BTS and learned they had Whalien 52.
Ps. I thought you'd do the recent performance of this one at 5th Muster.
That is so cool and I gotta agree...feels like Destiny. Didn’t really know about the 5th muster version at the time of filming this. The link was shared to us and we reacted. Pretty much the story of our lives lol.
@@WhatchaGot2Say yes, BTS is destiny for me. 💜💜💜 Nico you can watch it probably offcam, it's a nice one.
JK harmonizing with the rap line and the vocals is like the glue that connects them all, it fills the gaps so that there's no space in between, making them 7 just 1. 💜
I got chills, choked up on the lyrics of this song. It is as if they hear my 'silenced' cries. I just want to be heard and understood and no one seems to care. I'm that whale. This is too much. 😭
Semding a virtual hug army💜💜💜
@HappyAttitude thank you
@@ellaw571 thanks, ami
Finally!!!!!!!!! New vids! Thank you 💜 I hope everyone is well and happy.
This song is such a bop that it feels illegal to jam out cuz of the lyrics 😭
Great reaction guys!!! Love this song and the message, I cry every time. BTS knows how to get the heart felt message across. I've been missing you guys. Hope all is well. 💜💜
Namjoon is the main songwriter for this song and this song means so much to him. It's like he was telling his own story when he wrote this. I read something beautiful the other day about this
"RM personifying himself as a whale isn’t far-off (he is one of the main writers for “Whalien 52” and BTS’ music as a whole), but making himself a whale that is used before his performance of a song that he made to clear his head and think-to reflect; it’s wholly him. It’s deep blue & bittersweet.
어둠 속에서 사람들은
In the darkness, people
낮보다 행복해 보이네
look happier than during the day"
Omw heartwrenching can't stop crying
This song always gets me. RM express his intentions to share his messages but not being able to reach the audience was dark and lonely for him. Last year in an interview he mention they feel like Aliens on the music industry, because it seems there is no place for them, they don't fit in an specific group.
He’s right they don’t fit into a specific group ...but only because they have created a special group with qualities that no other celebrity has or will ever a achieve ...THEY are the real deal ....genuine...the others can only hope one day to be classified as having a BTS status but I doubt ...they are a once in a lifetime icon
These are my favorite videos, cause I get to relearn the lyrics with you guys ☺️
Yoongi for sure has swag and stage presence but sometimes people tend to overlook his lyrics in favor of that when his words carry so much meaning and passion that is very inspiring to me
This was really fun watching this with you, seems like a friend just vibing with the song at the same time appreciating them. Never thought that whalien 52 will be as sad as i felt with 2!3! 🥺 You guys gave another meaning to this song. Really thank you for this. 🤧💜
When I say this is my favorite BTS I really mean it. Because I felt it related to what I went through in middle school and high school. I’m going to this tattooed on me as soon I figure out how I want it to be.
So glad to see your reaction despite the problems you are going thru. Thanks for that. This is such a unique gem of a song.
