Was checking if someone already commented.. I remember watching this live and just getting awed again and again... probably the first time I had goosebumps continously for so long
This Award Show performance never gets old. I've lost count of the many many times I have watched it either through a reactor's eyes or on my own over the last 4+ years!! To me, this was a huge FLEX by BTS towards the Big 3. I mean a sample from their entire discography, the confidence they exude and the fact that they walked away with all 4 awards that night!! AND then went on to win all 4 awards from the MAMA show in Hong Kong!! They deserved it!! This performance shows that!! I will never not be awed when I watch it!! And Jimin's dance...perfection!! I was totally mesmerized! And he did it LIVE!!!!
Your comment during Microkosmos, "The audience's lights help, it's like every one in the audience is a star!"-- you just nailed what that entire song is about. :D "Perhaps the reason this night looks so beautiful / is not because of these stars or lights, but us"
It's The Corona Borealis constellation and Fun face only a few weeks ago if you were able to see it eg no cloud cover you would have seen another star within it flash. That was a another star within the same constellation that explode's millions of years ago and we have only just seen the light of it's explosion due to the speed of light.
BTS is not the usual singing group. BTS wants their fans to grow artistically and intellectually, so they NEVER dumb down their songs. Army enjoys decoding their songs and videos and stretching their knowledge of the world and BTS. This may be one of the reasons they are so popular, among many other reasons.
To answer some of your questions, and to give you a bit of info, as I haven't seen them answered yet in the comments: The VCRs (the videos of them in the room) are entirely prerecorded clips that are shown on the screens. They give the artists time to get dressed and ready etc. You mentioned that there might be links to the BU - we theorised the same thing at the time! Persona, the first song, is a song from 2019, RM's solo intro to Map of the Soul: Persona. The version we see is actually pre-recorded (there are a few give aways, like the fact that the boys aren't seated on the tables at the end and appear there two seconds later, or that RM's mic appears from nowhere), but he will have been actually performing it in the venue as well. It just means that the main audience watching the recording on TV get the perfect version. This was the first time it was ever performed, and it hasn't been performed many times since due to CV19. The song samples 'Intro: Skool Luv Affair', one of their early songs, which explains some of the old school styling, but the decoration had references to their upcoming performances eg Shadow, and Ego. Boy in Luv, the second song, is an older song, released in 2014, when they were in the school era. The Korean title roughly translates to 'Manly Man' and is about being a manly man in a relationship. This performance is completely live. (You mention the camera work a few times - my personal opinion is that MMA is some of the best, getting the key points of choreo, not constantly cutting to audience shots at the worst times. Some might disagree with me though!) Boy with Luv, the third song, was released in 2019 (same album as Persona). It was a collaboration with Halsey. As you might guess from the titles, and the fact that Boy In Luv finishes with the same gesture that Boy with Luv starts with, Boy with Luv is BTS's 2019 response to their 2014 ideas of love that they talked about in Boy in Luv. No longer about being manly men, the translation of the Korean title is 'A poem for the small things', and the fact that love is about loving all the little things about a person (and this whole era was very pink). You'll notice a lot of their later songs are sort of in dialogue with their older songs! This one was also performed completely live. The spoken word piece with words on the screens is exactly as you saw it, but then basically all of Mikrokosmos is pre-recorded (which is how they changed so fast) and played on the screens in the venue (and I don't think they were performing in person either, as they were getting ready for the second half of the show, although I might be wrong, it's been 5 years!) The only live shot you see is the shot of the audience towards the end, waving their lightsticks, with the AR elements overlaid. Mikrokosmos is also from 2019, from the same album as Persona and Boy with Luv. The Dionysus intro is...like no other. I think that to truly, truly appreciate it, you need to know BTS' discography extremely well. Most of these elements that we see were pre-recorded, although Jimin's section was live (although he tried to pre-record I think?) However, the members still performed their sections on stage - JK performed his without water, and they actually forgot to turn on the lights so it was very hard to see! Each of them are dancing to a remixed version of their past songs, in chronological order (obviously not all of them though, as they'd never have enough time!) They're also each styled after a different Greek god (sorry can't remember which is which), and the lightbulbs drop down to form a constellation, Corona Borealis, which was linked with the greek god Dionysus. The songs are: Tae dances to No More Dream from 2013 (you got it right!), Jin dances to Danger from 2014, Jimin dances to I Need You from 2015, Yoongi dances to Fire from 2016, JK dances to Save Me from 2016, Hobi dances to Fake Love from 2017, and Namjoon then leads us into Dionysus from 2019. Then we just have the ongoing Dionysus intro, with women with petals, the rampant panthers(?) and the soldiers. This section is also pre-recorded - the horses weren't actually on stage on the night, but everything else was happening on stage. I'm not sure there's any real purpose behind this part of the performance, other than to get everyone in place and look cool! As soon as the main performance begins everything else is live I think. The dance break section was only ever performed at this show. The first song it is mixed with is 'N.O.' a BTS song from 2013, and then the second song (from where Namjoon and Jin stand up on the long table) is someone else's song. I'm not sure if we ever identified it. When we go back to Dionysus to finish up, you can still hear bits of 'N.O.' in the background. Using this song is a teaser for their work to come, as On (their next title track) was a reference back to N.O. - they often used these end of year performances to tease what was to come. Re: the headsets vs handheld mics - as far as I understand, it's just whichever they feel more comfortable with, although they are a bit more likely to use the headsets in a big dance number. Ha, that's ended up being a bit longer than planned! Hope you enjoyed their performance and this information gives you a bit of a chance to enjoy it more!
❣️Jimin’s solo performance, wearing a modernized hanbok just fastened by ties only, had many different dance elements in it! Including the barrel leaps taken from Korean dance elements, some martial arts elements, (trained for 8 yrs in various forms w/blackbelt in Taekwondo), & of course contemporary dance. Also, equally ever so stunningly outstanding, was Jimin's scarf work, which is alone so hard to master, without getting that ever so thin veil of a scarf all tangled! Jimin somehow was able to make the scarf one with himself, using it as an extension, even at one point when he did that amazing jump leap straight up the scarf becoming his wings!! Jimin's whole performance was so amazingly stunningly beautiful. Just so effortlessly breathtakingly mesmerizing to see!! Though the other members did a version of their solo performances for benefit of the live audiences, for the broadcast version as seen here, viewer see the prerecorded version, that was prerecorded the day before, since especially JK’s performance in water with that heavy tank that weighed a ton wouldn’t be able to maneuver for live audience, as well as some of the other effects seen like for Mikrokosmos, also the part with the horses was obviously prerecorded as a safeguard for the horses. It also gave a chance for BTS come up for air as well as give them time to change. Jimin was the only one who didn’t have the benefit of prerecorded VCR, which meant that for his solo performance by the broadcasted version, viewers saw Jimin perform live only. While the broadcast version showed for rest of members the prerecorded version. But once again the live audience did get an opportunity to see BTS members do a version of their solos.
Wonderful write up. I saw many army saying Jimin had left his zipper down. I had to correct their ignorant comments. Jimin is a professional artist of the highest calibre, do they really think he would be so stupid as to go out on stage without checking first. I personally feel this beautiful piece by Jimin is a work of art and is so underappreciated by those who don't know what it takes to perform like that. They mocked his body when stood aside JK, however Jimin knows perfectly well which muscles to work in order for him to perform beautiful delicate performances like this graceful and stunning piece of art. If he were built like jk he could not be the performer we all know and adore.
The only Jimin performance air on stage live .. now I understand that all members do pre recorded except Jimin no wonder Jk shock once he watch Jimin performances ref : behind the MMA VD ..hemmm
I love their MMA and MAMA performances, and your reactions to them. This was one of my favorites because they covered a cross section of their music to date, then finished up with Dionysus - an over-the-top staging of a song about being over the top. This shows so much how they are performance artists.
The first songs are actually pre-recorded (same day, different time) until they showed the real performance. Most of the time, the biggest kpop group at the moment is the last in the line up to end the show and were given more time to perform. So the real live there as we are watching are always the last one with surprising special choreography and great stage props and perf. You're always great at explanation, love the reaction~
That's just petty and smacks of professional jealousy. BTS are just too good. They are A list Global Superstars with credibility on the world stage, all the others including BP are not. The gap is massive and getting wider. In 2025 when BTS return it's going to be a worldwide event. That wouldn't happen for any of the others. BTS have won 1400 awards and worked extremely hard fighting off all the hate, mistreatment, death threats so they absolutely deserved every single one. I make no apology for saying that BTS are the biggest and best group. There will never be a next BTS, they would have to have gone through what BTS has, their journey through Hardships to being 5 time Grammy Nominees, artist of the year US and Korea. They deserve the biggest apology from those who treated them so badly.
Their live performances are just epic always... Love seeing you reacting to BTS videos 😊 Could you take a look at 2018 MMA performance of BTS... The Intro and IDOL performance was too good... You will love 😍👍
A curiosity about Boy with lov. In the verse where Jin sings "come be my teacher" we see in the choreography Suga pointing at Jhope and vice versa. They do this because Suga taught Jhope how to rap and Jhope taught Suga how to dance when they were trainees. In music Dionysius each of the 7 members represented differente Greek Gos. Jin was Athena, Suga was Hephaesus or Hades, Hobi was Zeus, Rm was Dionysius, V was Apollo, Jimin was Artemis and Jung kook was Poseidon.
Jimin esta en otro nivel. Su formación en danza contemporánea, su elegancia, su sensualidad, su fluidez, su limpieza, su pasión y expresividad elevan la danza a la perfección. El mejor bailarín de la industria.
Jimin me deslumbró, su presentación fue hermosa, era sólo él, una tela, la iluminación y la música. Cuando supe que además había sido el único que hizo su presentación en solitario completamente en vivo ante el público, lo admiré más aún (las demás presentaciones solistas fueron pregrabadas). Saludos
Some context - in the tour they had just finished at this point, Dionysus was the opening song. They increased its epicness ten times for this performance, because it so well established already as a really intense and massive performance. The inflatable tigers for example, is the actual set for this song from their Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour. They had to top that somehow ... and the result is this 15 minute feast of a perfomance!
❣️This was from the annual Melon Music Awards, a Korean award show the equivalent to the BBMA’s. BTS swept the awards, thus closed the award show, though many other artists did indeed performed beforehand. The cost of the production for BTS entertainment company BigHit, was over 500K dollars, and all the in-house production team of BigHit started planning it over half a yr beforehand! Also most of the rehearsal time that BTS had was while they were touring worldwide. But they all were quite into doing this, and somehow managed to fit in the rehearsal like they did the yr before. All the solo performances were prerecorded live with smaller audience the day before, with exception to Jimin’s solo performance, who only performed live only, without the benefit of prerecorded VCR, since there was no way to have these stage sets and tank pool of water, let alone have JK, who was performing the dance in water, get dried and change clothes beforehand! BTS did also perform a version of their solos, while viewers of the broadcasted version saw also the VCR version filmed day before. The only one who performed live only without benefit of VCR being shown, for the broadcasted version, was Jimin, who shows here being the phenomenal, breathtakingly amazing professional dancer which he is even before signing on to BTS. Also certain songs like Mikrokosmos, as well as beginning part of RM’s Persona, was performed live beforehand and also prerecorded so they could also allow for the special effects that only people who saw the broadcast on TV in South Korea or had it stream worldwide could see that version. Also the part with the live horses was filmed beforehand without an audience.
I imagine those horses out to pasture. 3rd horse from left “Hey, remember when we worked that awards show?” Main horse “Sure, how could I forget? I think I’m still recovering “ 3rd “ Oh I just wonder what it looked like sometimes. I mean I’m glad for the eye protection but I’m curious “ Main “ Yeah, a picture would’ve been nice. We’ll just have to make do with the photocards we can wriggle out of the trainer’s pockets. Here she comes. Shh.” 3rd “Suga is adorable” Main “Shhh”
Thanks for your reaction to this awesome performance by BTS!❤ I love him so much. All their performances are masterpieces! But I believe that this particular performance at MMA 2019 was their best at the awards. Their wonderful songs are collected there: “Intro: Persona”, “Boy In Luv”, “Boy With Luv”, “Mikrokosmos”, “Dionysus” and very beautiful productions.💜 But the way they performed before the last song in this performance and the song “Dionysus” itself is just fire! This is very cool! Bravo not only to the guys themselves, but also to those people who participated in the creation of this legendary performance: choreographers, costume designers, authors who came up with this whole masterpiece, dancers.. After all, this performance does not just show dance and theatrical solo performances of the guys, where each of them moves to separate music and with a different stage design - it is a whole tetra that immerses the audience in the atmosphere of Ancient Greek mythology and the events of that time. BTS made an anology with that time. Each member represents a specific ancient Greek God or Goddess. Each of them corresponds to a certain element and is also associated with a certain BTS song, which most closely matches each element and God. And this is how it turns out: V - God Apollo. Song - No More Dream. V - appears first, as well as the song he dances to - this is the first BTS song that started it all. And it is dedicated to young people who do not have their own dreams, who live as they are told, and not as they themselves want. Apollo is the God of male beauty, God of light, predictor of the future and patron of the arts and theater. Therefore, as seen in the performance, V dances between antique columns and around him are aerial acrobats, who display the art. Jin - Goddess Athena and Goddess Aphrodite (50/50). Song - Danger. This is the song of the second stage of BTS and Jin comes out second. In this song, the guys sing about relationships in which the girl cheats and plays, thereby showing that these relationships are not important for her, she is a hypocrite, and the guy is going crazy, i.e. there is a kind of war going on. Athena - Goddess of victory, wisdom, military strategy and tactics. One of the most revered Goddesses (like Jin - everyone respects him and kind of honors him, since he is the eldest in the group). Aphrodite - Goddess of beauty, eternal spring, fertility (Jin is the world's handsome man). And in the production, Jin rides out on a horse and is belligerent. Jimin - Goddess Artemis. Song - I need U. The next stage and the song says that everything is crumbling, broken, but I still need you like air. Artemis is the eternally young Goddess, the Goddess of hunting, female chastity, giving happiness in relationships. Possesses powerful magical powers. Patroness of all life on Earth. And all living things cannot live without air - it is impossible without it. Every living thing needs it (which is what the title of the song corresponds to). Her element is air. In his performance, Jimin represents this element (and in life, he is the first to come to the rescue when the members are in trouble and bad, he is their reassurance and a breath of air).
Suga - God Hephaestus. Song - Fire. Hephaestus - God of fire, maker of lightning. One of the most influential Gods. The patron of blacksmithing, inventions, the builder of all buildings on Olympus (Which corresponds to Suga himself, since he is a member who not only writes songs, but also produces them. And not only in his group, but also to other people. And by analogy, he is builder, primary source in the group). Well, I think the correspondence of the chosen song to which he comes out is clear. And around him on the stage there is fire and lightning (light).
Next, Jungkook is the God Poseidon (or Neptune). Song - Save Me. Poseidon is the supreme sea god. He is merciless to those who insult him, but is favorable to those who honor and love him. He has a quick temper and a difficult disposition. His weapon is a trident, with which he is able to cause storms and break rocks (Which, it seems to me, fully corresponds to Jungkook himself - he is the main vocalist and is at the top - the center of the group. About his character - he himself says that he is difficult; and He can move mountains, he loves the members and Army who love him). Element of water - on stage Jungkook dances in water. The song talks about a relationship in which the girl extended her hand and saved him from loneliness, from himself, from the darkness into which he plunges alone with himself - in dreams, in thoughts. And she is a bright light for him. Also in water, when a person drowns, he plunges into darkness, but there is light at the top.
Next, J-Hope is God Zeus. Song - Fake Love. Zeus is the God of the sky, thunder, lightning, who is in charge of the whole world. The main and most powerful God. He distributes good and evil on Earth. Fair. According to legend, he built the entire social order on Earth (just like J-Hope - everyone considers him an unofficial leader, since he has very strong good energy, he gives strength to all the guys. He is always fair and can always clearly say what, to whom and how to do, i.e. bring order to the group. Is the soul and energy of the group). On stage, he dances under the illumination of lasers and beams of light, symbolizing lightning. And under the electronic processing of the song. The ratio of the song - if he is fair, he will not tolerate pretense and lies. And the song is about pretending because of love. Love is the greatest and most important force. She is good. And pretense is evil.
And in the end, RM is God Dionysus. And that's what the song is called. Dionysus is the God of vegetation, winemaking and inspiration. God of fun and theater. He was not one of the most important Gods according to legend. But he had very extraordinary abilities - he could drive a person crazy, but he could also cure him of madness 9 Which corresponds to RM himself - although he was the first member of the group and is its leader, but as he himself says, I can’t do everything, or rather, if it doesn’t concern music, then I don’t do anything in everyday life myself. I can't do much. And in the group I don’t always play the main role. But he is an inspirer who can reprimand if someone is wrong, but also support - correct). And in the end, when RM is the last one to come out, the circle closes - all 7 members get together and return again to the beginning, to the origins, to the song itself. Which shows that they can all be alone, but together they are a huge force and they are happy, which shows the appearance of a horseshoe (all the light bulbs connected into a horseshoe). Just like the 7 Gods, when they gathered together, their abilities combined and represented enormous power and strength.
So this performance at the end with the song "Dionysus" has a very deep meaning. Like, in principle, every BTS song. And the way the roles are distributed in this performance is very cool - they completely correspond to the personalities of the guys. They are the best! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is the first time I ever watched this reactor. Though he did not know all the songs, his comments were very intelligent and on point. He noticed so many things and made very intuitive observations. I really enjoyed his reaction and experienced these iconic performances through non-ARMY eyes, which was kinda cool. 💜
Just an FYI, some of the stages were recorded ahead of time. Mikrokosmos, the first half of of RM' solo song, the video in-between the stages were all pre-recorded.
🔆🍷”Dionysus” was the last song BTS performed, so all members performed solo pieces representing different g-d’s. In the actual song they sing, the lyrics, as always, are quite deep& meaningful! "In Hangul the Korean word for alcohol closely resembles the word for art!! So like BTS does so often, it's sort of a play on words, a metaphor, like filling themselves on art or getting drunk on art! Rejoicing reveling in the process of creating and being fully enmeshed in it!! We all know that Dionysus was the G-d of drink, pleasure, debauchery, as well as decadence, but indeed there is another more creative side like also fertility, birth which is also indeed a form of creating. He was also the g-d or wine grape harvest growth! Many interpretations that can be correlated with the song! Dionysus, was so much more then the harvester of grapes vegetation, & creator of wine! Dionysus was the only Olympian with a mortal mother, because he was raised on the mythical Mount Nysa (which was believed to be either far to the south or the east), and because he wandered Asia before arriving in Greece, Dionysus was seen as an outsider. This was an inherent part of his cult, which often focused on the more subversive elements of his nature. Dionysus was often called Eleutherios, meaning “the liberator,” because his wine, music, and ecstatic dance freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society. Indeed, as the “twice-born” god, Dionysus had crossed the boundary between life and death, and he was often portrayed as the god who crossed the boundary between the civilized and uncivilized and the known and unknown. He was represented as a god of chaos and the protector of misfits. 👍❤🔥😍🔥
Unless you are fluent in Korean, watching BTS performances without English subtitles is an artistic crime. You're missing their magical lyrics and poetry.
Yes you were correct it was Soobin& Yeonjun from TXT that you saw.I can’t imagine how much time and effort it took to put this whole performance together. The stage design and set up alone must have taken months to complete and then you have BTS themselves this had to take months to completely finish.
Surely he would, but may not see the reaction uploaded in the future sadly. :[ Hope he finds or is notified about it though. All performances are masterpiece & intricate pieces. 🤗🤍
All of them were Greek Gods in their solo performances (that were all remixes of their older songs) the lights form a constellation that has seven stars; Ariadne's Crown - there is a whole story related to the constellation that relates what they are doing here.
That last scene where RM slams that staff down at 29:41, what they don't show is the staff slipped and well, he hit himself very hard in the man parts! Poor guy performed in severe pain but you can't tell. ALSO THIS IS JUST AN AWARD SHOW NOT A FULL CONCERT!
2:24 Intro: persona is 5 years ago 6:33 Boy in love was 10 years ago 10:51 Boy with love is 5 years ago 15:15 Mikrokosmos is 4 years ago 21:03 Dionysus is 5 years ago
All of the songs are kind of highlights from debut to 2019. The MMAs are kind of Asias equivolent to the VMAs and all the stages are intense on the night!! The artists look forward to performing this night and put a lot of effort into their MMA performances.
i’m new here so i don’t know if you’re aware that this is an award show, not a bts concert. the little stage with other people sitting is the artist zone, that’s why we got a little close shot of soobin and yeonjun and other artists too. again, idk if you were maybe talking about another part of the stage, if that’s the case my bad.
Wow there are some hella rude ppl in the comments 💀 anyways I LOVE Jimin and Jungkook solo performances 😊💖 also comment as much as u want, this is your channel if they don’t like it they can leave 💜
You're coming back strong to start with this MMA!! Live streaming for these long clips is a great idea where you can interact/ask any questions on the spot & less editing for you too lol (though due to timezone, I personally likely can't watch live but that's ok I can watch the recordings :) their production team really goes all out for the live stage they had even though it's just part of an award show. Whoever performed after them... no way (i remember some fan cam the shocking reaction of other artists XD) Absolutely flexing XD which THEY SHOULD! They really own the stage! The amount of practice... unimaginable... you can hear they're panting so hurt! Some parts of the performances were pre-recorded: Persona, Mikrokosmos (allowed the effects & gave them time to get ready for the next stage), some of the solo performances (imagine how quickly JK has to dry himself if live XD), intro of Dionysus's with horses. Please watch & react to the rap line's Cypher series, 4 songs- you will learn the different rap styles. Please watch with the lyrics on. Then you can deep dive into each rapper's solo, I was never into rap till BTS :)
Watching it as I type this….. please tell me you watched the sub version to understand the songs too lol cause the one with the stars Mikrokosmos also just melts your heart when you get the lyrics too as well as the breathtaking special effects. New Army here so now into all the reaction videos lol and enjoying yours too so thanks 💜💜
Hope that your experience has been splendid so far! Do check out his further contents & uploads not long ago since he decided on chasing a different path than this (community tab if interested on the details). Maybe in his own time from public viewing would he watch thier activities. 😊 Do have a great day. :)
RM solo Persona part of the Map of Soul BTS album BTS members have solo tracks within BTS albums plus stand alone solo songs outside of BTS albums and complete Individual solo albums as well. 7 solo artists that make up the Global Super Groups BTS.
Remember this is an award show performance and not a BTS show. Then look at the number of ARMY bombs/nightsticks that are lit up! I also think this is one of the shows that didn’t allow light sticks at all, but that many fans brought them in for their favorite artists, sometimes multiple artists light sticks, and the white lights are all from ARMY. FYI MMA show lasts ~3 hours and this BTS performance was ~50min long. They were on stage for more than 1/4-1/3 of the total show length. Also I believe BigHit makes sure that they have control of the cameras during BTS performances to get the best possible angles for those performances. They basically had a mini concert in the broadcast time slot of an awards show. At this point in time, BTS and Coldplay were in discussions, if not in production, of the Coldplay song featuring BTS titled “My Universe”. For obvious reasons, water on stage is a hazard and animals behave unpredictably in a high intensity environment, need to be staged and recorded without an audience, but if you look up JK’s performance at this show you will see he is performing LIVE BACKSTAGE FOR HIS SOLO. (Btw I’m not JK bias, but I respect and applaud his dedication! And then his bunny quality cuteness) SORRY COMMENTING AS I WATCH!!! Yes that is the No More Dream refrain after the curtain drops on Boy With Love, and the solo performances begin Idk if this is just my own interpretation of the timeline, but it seems like “Burn,” as Suga’s solo performance could have the hidden undertone as, the pain he suffers from his chronic shoulder pain, which resulted from an injury suffered in his trainee days which he tried to hide from his agency, because he wasn’t supposed to have a part-time job while he was a trainee even though he didn’t have the money to pay for both food and public transportation. He got into an accident, which he hid from his agency, BigHit, for fear of being abandoned.
Dionysus: Originally Dionysus was the Greek god of fertility. Later, he came to be known chiefly as the god of wine and pleasure. (Perfect for BTS, dontcha think? LOL!
The groups performing will send the show a video of their performances with all the choreo so the shows can plan the camera work ahead of time. Any of the BTS dance practice where they are wearing name cards are going to be sent to the shows.
Havn’t see you in ages, Sweetie. Used to watch you closely for the past 3 yrs. That being said: As a West Indian BTS Army Mom since ‘16. Have seen possibly hundreds of reactions to this Award Show since it hit in ‘19 - to present day. June 2024. And the question always asked: WHO were the ‘unlucky group’…..slated to perform NEXT? As the NEXT KPop group…( since BTS swept the awards that yr) slated to come 2nd to perform? NOPE. SORRY 🤣. As their Leader ( behind stage) ABORT ABORT OUR PERFORMANCE. NO WAY- WE CAN COMPETE. Let’s DUCK OUT THE BACK DOOR. TELL THEM….’someone got sick’. Will accept our award as ‘2nd’……..over Zoom. Otherwise. How can ANYONE at said Award show……..’thrill the audience of THOUSANDS’………..after BTS? While understood. BTS faced an UPHILL BATTLE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. AND MILLIONS LAUGHED…LOOKED DOWN ON THEM. While GLOBALLY…..WE EMBRACED THEM. perhaps they INDEED needed to pull out all stops. And BRING THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO SHAME……SINCE ‘ They’…….never believed. Mocked. Ridiculed for YEARS. UNTIL ARMY WAS BORN……. Still. I pity the KPop band who came after….in this Number 1 Award Show. 🤣😂💜💜
Sono magnifici, insuperabili BTS, non vorrei fare polemica dopo questo post meraviglioso ma io considero che non sono apprezzati abbastanza 💯abbastanza
Hi i know im late. But the song is Dionysus, the god of wine, so If i remeber each member was A God and all came together for a celebration in the amphitheater. Which the stage is made up like.
Cada vez que veo esta presentación siento que termino cansada al ver la fuerza que ponen los chicos al bailar, solo me entristece no haberlos conocido antes para disfrutarlos, pero espero con ansias el regreso
Persona, Boy in Luv, Boy with love, Mircosmos. Then you have snippets of other songs then finally Dionysus of Greek Mythology the god who came from the east and is the god of theatre, wine, and madness and much much more. The Greek god who was born twice.
RM is an amazing rapper - check out his song JOKE and you listen to what RM can do every time you listen to a BTS song. His hands were on it somehow. He writes, produces and helps the other members write their own songs. Him and sugar are main lyric and musical writers of the group.
@@Snooze.restblue.s he is moving away from reaction to re-creations. I went to a museum dedicated to cinema that is how creative filmmakers are, they looked for crafty and inventive ways to make believe be magical.

thank you for this information!! they honestly amaze me everyday
Great info ❤
Was checking if someone already commented.. I remember watching this live and just getting awed again and again... probably the first time I had goosebumps continously for so long
Thanks for providing the info! I knew ARMY would beat me to it!
Well done!!!
This Award Show performance never gets old. I've lost count of the many many times I have watched it either through a reactor's eyes or on my own over the last 4+ years!! To me, this was a huge FLEX by BTS towards the Big 3. I mean a sample from their entire discography, the confidence they exude and the fact that they walked away with all 4 awards that night!! AND then went on to win all 4 awards from the MAMA show in Hong Kong!! They deserved it!! This performance shows that!! I will never not be awed when I watch it!! And Jimin's dance...perfection!! I was totally mesmerized! And he did it LIVE!!!!
SO PROUD OF THEM BTS BTS BTS
Your comment during Microkosmos, "The audience's lights help, it's like every one in the audience is a star!"-- you just nailed what that entire song is about. :D "Perhaps the reason this night looks so beautiful / is not because of these stars or lights, but us"
True.
But this is pre-recorded.
Not even them can change this quickly so completly.
Dionysus gave his wife a crown which she put in the heavens. Forming the 7 star constellation, Corona Borealis.
Aurora Borealis is not a constellation, but rather lights in the night sky, sometimes referred to northern Lights.
It's The Corona Borealis constellation and Fun face only a few weeks ago if you were able to see it eg no cloud cover you would have seen another star within it flash. That was a another star within the same constellation that explode's millions of years ago and we have only just seen the light of it's explosion due to the speed of light.
@@LPnerd ah yes sorry, I knew that! TwiX ARMY had been pumping the timeline with purple skies so that was on my mind 😁 Thanks for that !
Jimin's contemporary dance during this always moves me to tears. It's so beautiful 🥺
Me too ❤
Jimin is a crack ❤dancer ❤
Never watched this reactor before and it’s been a while since I’ve re-watched MMA 2019….it was the perfect time to get tearful again. 🥹💜
Me too
Jimin is so elegant in his solo. He's like an angel came down and its really making me cry. His contemporary dance is on another level 🤍
BTS is not the usual singing group. BTS wants their fans to grow artistically and intellectually, so they NEVER dumb down their songs. Army enjoys decoding their songs and videos and stretching their knowledge of the world and BTS. This may be one of the reasons they are so popular, among many other reasons.
I love how his face light up as soon as Jimin is revealed 😂❤
This is by far THE GREATEST BTS performance of the biggest scale in a music show, showcasing how HUGE they are 🔥
To answer some of your questions, and to give you a bit of info, as I haven't seen them answered yet in the comments:
The VCRs (the videos of them in the room) are entirely prerecorded clips that are shown on the screens. They give the artists time to get dressed and ready etc. You mentioned that there might be links to the BU - we theorised the same thing at the time!
Persona, the first song, is a song from 2019, RM's solo intro to Map of the Soul: Persona. The version we see is actually pre-recorded (there are a few give aways, like the fact that the boys aren't seated on the tables at the end and appear there two seconds later, or that RM's mic appears from nowhere), but he will have been actually performing it in the venue as well. It just means that the main audience watching the recording on TV get the perfect version. This was the first time it was ever performed, and it hasn't been performed many times since due to CV19. The song samples 'Intro: Skool Luv Affair', one of their early songs, which explains some of the old school styling, but the decoration had references to their upcoming performances eg Shadow, and Ego.
Boy in Luv, the second song, is an older song, released in 2014, when they were in the school era. The Korean title roughly translates to 'Manly Man' and is about being a manly man in a relationship. This performance is completely live. (You mention the camera work a few times - my personal opinion is that MMA is some of the best, getting the key points of choreo, not constantly cutting to audience shots at the worst times. Some might disagree with me though!)
Boy with Luv, the third song, was released in 2019 (same album as Persona). It was a collaboration with Halsey. As you might guess from the titles, and the fact that Boy In Luv finishes with the same gesture that Boy with Luv starts with, Boy with Luv is BTS's 2019 response to their 2014 ideas of love that they talked about in Boy in Luv. No longer about being manly men, the translation of the Korean title is 'A poem for the small things', and the fact that love is about loving all the little things about a person (and this whole era was very pink). You'll notice a lot of their later songs are sort of in dialogue with their older songs! This one was also performed completely live.
The spoken word piece with words on the screens is exactly as you saw it, but then basically all of Mikrokosmos is pre-recorded (which is how they changed so fast) and played on the screens in the venue (and I don't think they were performing in person either, as they were getting ready for the second half of the show, although I might be wrong, it's been 5 years!) The only live shot you see is the shot of the audience towards the end, waving their lightsticks, with the AR elements overlaid. Mikrokosmos is also from 2019, from the same album as Persona and Boy with Luv.
The Dionysus intro is...like no other. I think that to truly, truly appreciate it, you need to know BTS' discography extremely well. Most of these elements that we see were pre-recorded, although Jimin's section was live (although he tried to pre-record I think?) However, the members still performed their sections on stage - JK performed his without water, and they actually forgot to turn on the lights so it was very hard to see! Each of them are dancing to a remixed version of their past songs, in chronological order (obviously not all of them though, as they'd never have enough time!) They're also each styled after a different Greek god (sorry can't remember which is which), and the lightbulbs drop down to form a constellation, Corona Borealis, which was linked with the greek god Dionysus. The songs are: Tae dances to No More Dream from 2013 (you got it right!), Jin dances to Danger from 2014, Jimin dances to I Need You from 2015, Yoongi dances to Fire from 2016, JK dances to Save Me from 2016, Hobi dances to Fake Love from 2017, and Namjoon then leads us into Dionysus from 2019.
Then we just have the ongoing Dionysus intro, with women with petals, the rampant panthers(?) and the soldiers. This section is also pre-recorded - the horses weren't actually on stage on the night, but everything else was happening on stage. I'm not sure there's any real purpose behind this part of the performance, other than to get everyone in place and look cool!
As soon as the main performance begins everything else is live I think. The dance break section was only ever performed at this show. The first song it is mixed with is 'N.O.' a BTS song from 2013, and then the second song (from where Namjoon and Jin stand up on the long table) is someone else's song. I'm not sure if we ever identified it. When we go back to Dionysus to finish up, you can still hear bits of 'N.O.' in the background. Using this song is a teaser for their work to come, as On (their next title track) was a reference back to N.O. - they often used these end of year performances to tease what was to come.
Re: the headsets vs handheld mics - as far as I understand, it's just whichever they feel more comfortable with, although they are a bit more likely to use the headsets in a big dance number.
Ha, that's ended up being a bit longer than planned! Hope you enjoyed their performance and this information gives you a bit of a chance to enjoy it more!
❣️Jimin’s solo performance, wearing a modernized hanbok just fastened by ties only, had many different dance elements in it! Including the barrel leaps taken from Korean dance elements, some martial arts elements, (trained for 8 yrs in various forms w/blackbelt in Taekwondo), & of course contemporary dance. Also, equally ever so stunningly outstanding, was Jimin's scarf work, which is alone so hard to master, without getting that ever so thin veil of a scarf all tangled! Jimin somehow was able to make the scarf one with himself, using it as an extension, even at one point when he did that amazing jump leap straight up the scarf becoming his wings!! Jimin's whole performance was so amazingly stunningly beautiful. Just so effortlessly breathtakingly mesmerizing to see!! Though the other members did a version of their solo performances for benefit of the live audiences, for the broadcast version as seen here, viewer see the prerecorded version, that was prerecorded the day before, since especially JK’s performance in water with that heavy tank that weighed a ton wouldn’t be able to maneuver for live audience, as well as some of the other effects seen like for Mikrokosmos, also the part with the horses was obviously prerecorded as a safeguard for the horses. It also gave a chance for BTS come up for air as well as give them time to change. Jimin was the only one who didn’t have the benefit of prerecorded VCR, which meant that for his solo performance by the broadcasted version, viewers saw Jimin perform live only. While the broadcast version showed for rest of members the prerecorded version. But once again the live audience did get an opportunity to see BTS members do a version of their solos.
Wonderful write up. I saw many army saying Jimin had left his zipper down. I had to correct their ignorant comments. Jimin is a professional artist of the highest calibre, do they really think he would be so stupid as to go out on stage without checking first. I personally feel this beautiful piece by Jimin is a work of art and is so underappreciated by those who don't know what it takes to perform like that. They mocked his body when stood aside JK, however Jimin knows perfectly well which muscles to work in order for him to perform beautiful delicate performances like this graceful and stunning piece of art. If he were built like jk he could not be the performer we all know and adore.
The only Jimin performance air on stage live .. now I understand that all members do pre recorded except Jimin no wonder Jk shock once he watch Jimin performances ref : behind the MMA VD ..hemmm
I love their MMA and MAMA performances, and your reactions to them. This was one of my favorites because they covered a cross section of their music to date, then finished up with Dionysus - an over-the-top staging of a song about being over the top. This shows so much how they are performance artists.
Jimin dancing so beautiful 🥹💜
The king Jimin ❤
Jimin’s iconic dance imprints in my brain forever❤❤❤❤❤
The first songs are actually pre-recorded (same day, different time) until they showed the real performance. Most of the time, the biggest kpop group at the moment is the last in the line up to end the show and were given more time to perform. So the real live there as we are watching are always the last one with surprising special choreography and great stage props and perf.
You're always great at explanation, love the reaction~
Basically a BTS concert at an awards show. Some acts cancelled bc they did not like bts winning so many daesangs.
That's just petty and smacks of professional jealousy. BTS are just too good. They are A list Global Superstars with credibility on the world stage, all the others including BP are not. The gap is massive and getting wider. In 2025 when BTS return it's going to be a worldwide event. That wouldn't happen for any of the others. BTS have won 1400 awards and worked extremely hard fighting off all the hate, mistreatment, death threats so they absolutely deserved every single one. I make no apology for saying that BTS are the biggest and best group. There will never be a next BTS, they would have to have gone through what BTS has, their journey through Hardships to being 5 time Grammy Nominees, artist of the year US and Korea. They deserve the biggest apology from those who treated them so badly.
Their live performances are just epic always... Love seeing you reacting to BTS videos 😊 Could you take a look at 2018 MMA performance of BTS... The Intro and IDOL performance was too good... You will love 😍👍
Jimin is out of this world talented. He’s so mesmerizing to look at when he’s performing!
A curiosity about Boy with lov. In the verse where Jin sings "come be my teacher" we see in the choreography Suga pointing at Jhope and vice versa. They do this because Suga taught Jhope how to rap and Jhope taught Suga how to dance when they were trainees.
In music Dionysius each of the 7 members represented differente Greek Gos. Jin was Athena, Suga was Hephaesus or Hades, Hobi was Zeus, Rm was Dionysius, V was Apollo, Jimin was Artemis and Jung kook was Poseidon.
Jin was Ares, god of war.
@@JVSphoneJin represented both
Jimin esta en otro nivel. Su formación en danza contemporánea, su elegancia, su sensualidad, su fluidez, su limpieza, su pasión y expresividad elevan la danza a la perfección. El mejor bailarín de la industria.
Jimin me deslumbró, su presentación fue hermosa, era sólo él, una tela, la iluminación y la música. Cuando supe que además había sido el único que hizo su presentación en solitario completamente en vivo ante el público, lo admiré más aún (las demás presentaciones solistas fueron pregrabadas). Saludos
Some context - in the tour they had just finished at this point, Dionysus was the opening song. They increased its epicness ten times for this performance, because it so well established already as a really intense and massive performance. The inflatable tigers for example, is the actual set for this song from their Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour. They had to top that somehow ... and the result is this 15 minute feast of a perfomance!
Tigers have stripes...
@@ruthfischer7615 that certainly changes everything!
@@karodear
just thought you wanted to know that those are not tigers.
I saw Jimin on the thumbnail so I'm here 😄 i miss Jimin so much
JIMIN😇
❣️This was from the annual Melon Music Awards, a Korean award show the equivalent to the BBMA’s. BTS swept the awards, thus closed the award show, though many other artists did indeed performed beforehand. The cost of the production for BTS entertainment company BigHit, was over 500K dollars, and all the in-house production team of BigHit started planning it over half a yr beforehand! Also most of the rehearsal time that BTS had was while they were touring worldwide. But they all were quite into doing this, and somehow managed to fit in the rehearsal like they did the yr before. All the solo performances were prerecorded live with smaller audience the day before, with exception to Jimin’s solo performance, who only performed live only, without the benefit of prerecorded VCR, since there was no way to have these stage sets and tank pool of water, let alone have JK, who was performing the dance in water, get dried and change clothes beforehand! BTS did also perform a version of their solos, while viewers of the broadcasted version saw also the VCR version filmed day before. The only one who performed live only without benefit of VCR being shown, for the broadcasted version, was Jimin, who shows here being the phenomenal, breathtakingly amazing professional dancer which he is even before signing on to BTS. Also certain songs like Mikrokosmos, as well as beginning part of RM’s Persona, was performed live beforehand and also prerecorded so they could also allow for the special effects that only people who saw the broadcast on TV in South Korea or had it stream worldwide could see that version. Also the part with the live horses was filmed beforehand without an audience.
Jimin is a masterpiece 🔥🫶
I imagine those horses out to pasture. 3rd horse from left “Hey, remember when we worked that awards show?” Main horse “Sure, how could I forget? I think I’m still recovering “ 3rd “ Oh I just wonder what it looked like sometimes. I mean I’m glad for the eye protection but I’m curious “ Main “ Yeah, a picture would’ve been nice. We’ll just have to make do with the photocards we can wriggle out of the trainer’s pockets. Here she comes. Shh.” 3rd “Suga is adorable” Main “Shhh”
This is my favorite award show performance of all times. I watch it 2-3 times a month
#JIMIN ATE
As always. ;>
JIMIN IS AUTHENTIC CRACK ❤
"I like the energy that Suga has. He's like explosive" Me: subscribe
Big Shout Out to the Dancers they were also the one's who moved those table things that are on wheels and the chairs.
I was blown away watching this in 2019 live, i actually still am everytime i see it
Jimin. Is like an angel❤
Thanks for your reaction to this awesome performance by BTS!❤
I love him so much.
All their performances are masterpieces! But I believe that this particular performance at MMA 2019 was their best at the awards. Their wonderful songs are collected there: “Intro: Persona”, “Boy In Luv”, “Boy With Luv”, “Mikrokosmos”, “Dionysus” and very beautiful productions.💜
But the way they performed before the last song in this performance and the song “Dionysus” itself is just fire! This is very cool! Bravo not only to the guys themselves, but also to those people who participated in the creation of this legendary performance: choreographers, costume designers, authors who came up with this whole masterpiece, dancers..
After all, this performance does not just show dance and theatrical solo performances of the guys, where each of them moves to separate music and with a different stage design - it is a whole tetra that immerses the audience in the atmosphere of Ancient Greek mythology and the events of that time. BTS made an anology with that time.
Each member represents a specific ancient Greek God or Goddess. Each of them corresponds to a certain element and is also associated with a certain BTS song, which most closely matches each element and God.
And this is how it turns out:
V - God Apollo.
Song - No More Dream.
V - appears first, as well as the song he dances to - this is the first BTS song that started it all. And it is dedicated to young people who do not have their own dreams, who live as they are told, and not as they themselves want. Apollo is the God of male beauty, God of light, predictor of the future and patron of the arts and theater. Therefore, as seen in the performance, V dances between antique columns and around him are aerial acrobats, who display the art.
Jin - Goddess Athena and Goddess Aphrodite (50/50).
Song - Danger.
This is the song of the second stage of BTS and Jin comes out second. In this song, the guys sing about relationships in which the girl cheats and plays, thereby showing that these relationships are not important for her, she is a hypocrite, and the guy is going crazy, i.e. there is a kind of war going on. Athena - Goddess of victory, wisdom, military strategy and tactics. One of the most revered Goddesses (like Jin - everyone respects him and kind of honors him, since he is the eldest in the group). Aphrodite - Goddess of beauty, eternal spring, fertility (Jin is the world's handsome man). And in the production, Jin rides out on a horse and is belligerent.
Jimin - Goddess Artemis.
Song - I need U.
The next stage and the song says that everything is crumbling, broken, but I still need you like air. Artemis is the eternally young Goddess, the Goddess of hunting, female chastity, giving happiness in relationships. Possesses powerful magical powers. Patroness of all life on Earth. And all living things cannot live without air - it is impossible without it. Every living thing needs it (which is what the title of the song corresponds to). Her element is air. In his performance, Jimin represents this element (and in life, he is the first to come to the rescue when the members are in trouble and bad, he is their reassurance and a breath of air).
Suga - God Hephaestus.
Song - Fire.
Hephaestus - God of fire, maker of lightning. One of the most influential Gods. The patron of blacksmithing, inventions, the builder of all buildings on Olympus (Which corresponds to Suga himself, since he is a member who not only writes songs, but also produces them. And not only in his group, but also to other people. And by analogy, he is builder, primary source in the group). Well, I think the correspondence of the chosen song to which he comes out is clear. And around him on the stage there is fire and lightning (light).
Next, Jungkook is the God Poseidon (or Neptune).
Song - Save Me.
Poseidon is the supreme sea god. He is merciless to those who insult him, but is favorable to those who honor and love him. He has a quick temper and a difficult disposition. His weapon is a trident, with which he is able to cause storms and break rocks (Which, it seems to me, fully corresponds to Jungkook himself - he is the main vocalist and is at the top - the center of the group. About his character - he himself says that he is difficult; and He can move mountains, he loves the members and Army who love him). Element of water - on stage Jungkook dances in water. The song talks about a relationship in which the girl extended her hand and saved him from loneliness, from himself, from the darkness into which he plunges alone with himself - in dreams, in thoughts. And she is a bright light for him. Also in water, when a person drowns, he plunges into darkness, but there is light at the top.
Next, J-Hope is God Zeus.
Song - Fake Love.
Zeus is the God of the sky, thunder, lightning, who is in charge of the whole world. The main and most powerful God. He distributes good and evil on Earth. Fair. According to legend, he built the entire social order on Earth (just like J-Hope - everyone considers him an unofficial leader, since he has very strong good energy, he gives strength to all the guys. He is always fair and can always clearly say what, to whom and how to do, i.e. bring order to the group. Is the soul and energy of the group). On stage, he dances under the illumination of lasers and beams of light, symbolizing lightning. And under the electronic processing of the song. The ratio of the song - if he is fair, he will not tolerate pretense and lies. And the song is about pretending because of love. Love is the greatest and most important force. She is good. And pretense is evil.
And in the end, RM is God Dionysus.
And that's what the song is called.
Dionysus is the God of vegetation, winemaking and inspiration. God of fun and theater. He was not one of the most important Gods according to legend. But he had very extraordinary abilities - he could drive a person crazy, but he could also cure him of madness 9 Which corresponds to RM himself - although he was the first member of the group and is its leader, but as he himself says, I can’t do everything, or rather, if it doesn’t concern music, then I don’t do anything in everyday life myself. I can't do much. And in the group I don’t always play the main role. But he is an inspirer who can reprimand if someone is wrong, but also support - correct).
And in the end, when RM is the last one to come out, the circle closes - all 7 members get together and return again to the beginning, to the origins, to the song itself. Which shows that they can all be alone, but together they are a huge force and they are happy, which shows the appearance of a horseshoe (all the light bulbs connected into a horseshoe).
Just like the 7 Gods, when they gathered together, their abilities combined and represented enormous power and strength.
So this performance at the end with the song "Dionysus" has a very deep meaning. Like, in principle, every BTS song. And the way the roles are distributed in this performance is very cool - they completely correspond to the personalities of the guys. They are the best! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jimin is an angel 😇 and a stage monster 🔥🔥🔥
This is the first time I ever watched this reactor. Though he did not know all the songs, his comments were very intelligent and on point. He noticed so many things and made very intuitive observations. I really enjoyed his reaction and experienced these iconic performances through non-ARMY eyes, which was kinda cool. 💜
지민 사랑해 💜 최고
To make everything flow, there are some pre-recorded sections. Blessed & spoiled by BTS and their amazing camera work for their stages. 😊💜
I love the thumbnail 💜 its jimin😍
Just an FYI, some of the stages were recorded ahead of time. Mikrokosmos, the first half of of RM' solo song, the video in-between the stages were all pre-recorded.
🔆🍷”Dionysus” was the last song BTS performed, so all members performed solo pieces representing different g-d’s. In the actual song they sing, the lyrics, as always, are quite deep& meaningful! "In Hangul the Korean word for alcohol closely resembles the word for art!! So like BTS does so often, it's sort of a play on words, a metaphor, like filling themselves on art or getting drunk on art! Rejoicing reveling in the process of creating and being fully enmeshed in it!! We all know that Dionysus was the G-d of drink, pleasure, debauchery, as well as decadence, but indeed there is another more creative side like also fertility, birth which is also indeed a form of creating. He was also the g-d or wine grape harvest growth! Many interpretations that can be correlated with the song! Dionysus, was so much more then the harvester of grapes vegetation, & creator of wine! Dionysus was the only Olympian with a mortal mother, because he was raised on the mythical Mount Nysa (which was believed to be either far to the south or the east), and because he wandered Asia before arriving in Greece, Dionysus was seen as an outsider. This was an inherent part of his cult, which often focused on the more subversive elements of his nature. Dionysus was often called Eleutherios, meaning “the liberator,” because his wine, music, and ecstatic dance freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society. Indeed, as the “twice-born” god, Dionysus had crossed the boundary between life and death, and he was often portrayed as the god who crossed the boundary between the civilized and uncivilized and the known and unknown. He was represented as a god of chaos and the protector of misfits. 👍❤🔥😍🔥
and do u know that, only JM's solo part is live, other member's pre-recorded.
JIMIN 🔥
Unless you are fluent in Korean, watching BTS performances without English subtitles is an artistic crime. You're missing their magical lyrics and poetry.
Hi...just came accross your channel. Loved your reaction. Describing their performance as art work was a perfect description.
Glad you are back!!! Hope you react to BTS members solo mvs too!
Look at his Community Posts dude. I went straight there when I realized he was releasing all of his Members/Patreon stuff.
Yes you were correct it was Soobin& Yeonjun from TXT that you saw.I can’t imagine how much time and effort it took to put this whole performance together. The stage design and set up alone must have taken months to complete and then you have BTS themselves this had to take months to completely finish.
Can you believe in 2019 the other TXT members were underage and had to go home early.
That was a little tongue in cheek.
Jimin had just sung "text me" after all. 😉
The most amazing performance I've seen of them
Each member plays one of the 7 gods/goddess of Greek Mythology so Jungkook is Poseidon Greek god of the Sea. While RM is the Greek god Dionysus.
Jimin es maravilloso 💛
Greatest. Performance. Ever. You'll also love MMA 2018
Surely he would, but may not see the reaction uploaded in the future sadly. :[ Hope he finds or is notified about it though.
All performances are masterpiece & intricate pieces. 🤗🤍
All of them were Greek Gods in their solo performances (that were all remixes of their older songs) the lights form a constellation that has seven stars; Ariadne's Crown - there is a whole story related to the constellation that relates what they are doing here.
That last scene where RM slams that staff down at 29:41, what they don't show is the staff slipped and well, he hit himself very hard in the man parts! Poor guy performed in severe pain but you can't tell. ALSO THIS IS JUST AN AWARD SHOW NOT A FULL CONCERT!
they're showing their Korean culture in different aspects thru different aspects in each song/scene
2:24 Intro: persona is 5 years ago
6:33 Boy in love was 10 years ago
10:51 Boy with love is 5 years ago
15:15 Mikrokosmos is 4 years ago
21:03 Dionysus is 5 years ago
All of the songs are kind of highlights from debut to 2019. The MMAs are kind of Asias equivolent to the VMAs and all the stages are intense on the night!! The artists look forward to performing this night and put a lot of effort into their MMA performances.
Чимин , артист своего шоу ! Его хореография искусство, уникальна и неповторима в Kpop! ❤❤❤
This is an award show in stadium size seating. When I first saw BTS I could only know their names bc of the colors. I love these men! It’s joyful!
Saying everyone is a star in the audience. Is what that song is all about . This just proves how music connects us all
Not surprised he's a beautiful man💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
RM is the rap monster, his name in the industry before he joined BTS,!
The best group in history 😊💖💜💖💜💖💜💖
behind the scene or another live should would be okay. Damn so proud of those boys!
i’m new here so i don’t know if you’re aware that this is an award show, not a bts concert. the little stage with other people sitting is the artist zone, that’s why we got a little close shot of soobin and yeonjun and other artists too. again, idk if you were maybe talking about another part of the stage, if that’s the case my bad.
Wow there are some hella rude ppl in the comments 💀 anyways I LOVE Jimin and Jungkook solo performances 😊💖 also comment as much as u want, this is your channel if they don’t like it they can leave 💜
You're coming back strong to start with this MMA!! Live streaming for these long clips is a great idea where you can interact/ask any questions on the spot & less editing for you too lol (though due to timezone, I personally likely can't watch live but that's ok I can watch the recordings :)
their production team really goes all out for the live stage they had even though it's just part of an award show. Whoever performed after them... no way (i remember some fan cam the shocking reaction of other artists XD)
Absolutely flexing XD which THEY SHOULD! They really own the stage! The amount of practice... unimaginable... you can hear they're panting so hurt!
Some parts of the performances were pre-recorded: Persona, Mikrokosmos (allowed the effects & gave them time to get ready for the next stage), some of the solo performances (imagine how quickly JK has to dry himself if live XD), intro of Dionysus's with horses.
Please watch & react to the rap line's Cypher series, 4 songs- you will learn the different rap styles. Please watch with the lyrics on. Then you can deep dive into each rapper's solo, I was never into rap till BTS :)
If not, do read his community post if wanted to see more reactions from him! 😁💗
Also, beautiful insight & pointers! Seemingly profound, so thank you for the comment. ♡ :))
Welcome backkk!!!! Their solo Mvs are very interesting... Have fun!!! See you again soon!!!!
Should read up on his community tab! 💖
Watching it as I type this….. please tell me you watched the sub version to understand the songs too lol cause the one with the stars Mikrokosmos also just melts your heart when you get the lyrics too as well as the breathtaking special effects.
New Army here so now into all the reaction videos lol and enjoying yours too so thanks 💜💜
Hope that your experience has been splendid so far! Do check out his further contents & uploads not long ago since he decided on chasing a different path than this (community tab if interested on the details).
Maybe in his own time from public viewing would he watch thier activities. 😊
Do have a great day. :)
how and why people hate them? I'm an army back than 2020 but every time i see them feels like first time 🎉🎉
Gimingaw na gyud ko aning BTS uy, sige lang. Hapit na man mubalik si Jin.
RM solo Persona part of the Map of Soul BTS album BTS members have solo tracks within BTS albums plus stand alone solo songs outside of BTS albums and complete Individual solo albums as well. 7 solo artists that make up the Global Super Groups BTS.
BTS OS MELHORES, como banda e com seus trabalhos solos os melhores em tudo são incríveis!!!!
the song where they changed fits was pre recorded but it looks like seamless.
yAh livestream is fun... its good you have this in YT...having trouble with patreon acct...
Eu gosto de todos os membros e as músicas deles são incríveis ainda mais com a coreografia deles.
Incrível.
Remember this is an award show performance and not a BTS show. Then look at the number of ARMY bombs/nightsticks that are lit up! I also think this is one of the shows that didn’t allow light sticks at all, but that many fans brought them in for their favorite artists, sometimes multiple artists light sticks, and the white lights are all from ARMY.
FYI MMA show lasts ~3 hours and this BTS performance was ~50min long. They were on stage for more than 1/4-1/3 of the total show length. Also I believe BigHit makes sure that they have control of the cameras during BTS performances to get the best possible angles for those performances. They basically had a mini concert in the broadcast time slot of an awards show.
At this point in time, BTS and Coldplay were in discussions, if not in production, of the Coldplay song featuring BTS titled “My Universe”.
For obvious reasons, water on stage is a hazard and animals behave unpredictably in a high intensity environment, need to be staged and recorded without an audience, but if you look up JK’s performance at this show you will see he is performing LIVE BACKSTAGE FOR HIS SOLO. (Btw I’m not JK bias, but I respect and applaud his dedication! And then his bunny quality cuteness)
SORRY COMMENTING AS I WATCH!!! Yes that is the No More Dream refrain after the curtain drops on Boy With Love, and the solo performances begin
Idk if this is just my own interpretation of the timeline, but it seems like “Burn,” as Suga’s solo performance could have the hidden undertone as, the pain he suffers from his chronic shoulder pain, which resulted from an injury suffered in his trainee days which he tried to hide from his agency, because he wasn’t supposed to have a part-time job while he was a trainee even though he didn’t have the money to pay for both food and public transportation. He got into an accident, which he hid from his agency, BigHit, for fear of being abandoned.
Dionysus: Originally Dionysus was the Greek god of fertility. Later, he came to be known chiefly as the god of wine and pleasure. (Perfect for BTS, dontcha think? LOL!
The groups performing will send the show a video of their performances with all the choreo so the shows can plan the camera work ahead of time. Any of the BTS dance practice where they are wearing name cards are going to be sent to the shows.
BigHit has control of all lighting and camera work ANYWHERE BTS performs
JIMIN IS PERFEC CRACK ❤❤BEAUTIFUL YUR DANCER JIMIN IS A CRACK ❤❤👑🔥🔥🔥

Community Tab! 💖🤗
Havn’t see you in ages, Sweetie. Used to watch you closely for the past 3 yrs. That being said: As a West Indian BTS Army Mom since ‘16. Have seen possibly hundreds of reactions to this Award Show since it hit in ‘19 - to present day. June 2024. And the question always asked: WHO were the ‘unlucky group’…..slated to perform NEXT? As the NEXT KPop group…( since BTS swept the awards that yr) slated to come 2nd to perform? NOPE. SORRY 🤣. As their Leader ( behind stage) ABORT ABORT OUR PERFORMANCE. NO WAY- WE CAN COMPETE. Let’s DUCK OUT THE BACK DOOR. TELL THEM….’someone got sick’. Will accept our award as ‘2nd’……..over Zoom. Otherwise. How can ANYONE at said Award show……..’thrill the audience of THOUSANDS’………..after BTS?
While understood. BTS faced an UPHILL BATTLE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. AND MILLIONS LAUGHED…LOOKED DOWN ON THEM.
While GLOBALLY…..WE EMBRACED THEM. perhaps they INDEED needed to pull out all stops. And BRING THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO SHAME……SINCE ‘ They’…….never believed. Mocked. Ridiculed for YEARS. UNTIL ARMY WAS BORN…….
Still. I pity the KPop band who came after….in this Number 1 Award Show. 🤣😂💜💜
You're back! Let's go 💜
ALEX!!!!!👋🏾🕠👋🏾💜👋🏾💜🤣🤣SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Have you read his community tab? You should if not since it has a lot of key elements regarding his path on RUclips. ♡ 😆💌
Gracias por reaccionar a los chicos! Jimin es honestamente increible, Jungkook y Hobi hicieron un gran trabajo tambien
Wow, you are active again Alex! Welcome back!
Edited to add:
Pls do check out their solo projs since chapter 2. There are many interesting concepts 💜
Should read his community tab if haven't! 😁💗 Good day.
Sono magnifici, insuperabili BTS, non vorrei fare polemica dopo questo post meraviglioso ma io considero che non sono apprezzati abbastanza 💯abbastanza
OMG! Long time no see! I miss your BTS content videos so much. It's good to see you again
Have you read his community post yet? If not, may clarify surrounding the lack of appearance and where he's heading career wise! 😊💕
The Leopard in Greek Mythology is a special beast.
2 thumbs up for the idea of live streaming to watch longer content like this together
Amamos a Jimin. Jikook x siempre juntos 💛💜🐣🐰🐰❤️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hiiiiiii, I'm really happy to see back here!
Do see his community tab! ^^ 💗
Hi i know im late. But the song is Dionysus, the god of wine, so If i remeber each member was A God and all came together for a celebration in the amphitheater. Which the stage is made up like.
Cada vez que veo esta presentación siento que termino cansada al ver la fuerza que ponen los chicos al bailar, solo me entristece no haberlos conocido antes para disfrutarlos, pero espero con ansias el regreso
Persona, Boy in Luv, Boy with love, Mircosmos. Then you have snippets of other songs then finally Dionysus of Greek Mythology the god who came from the east and is the god of theatre, wine, and madness and much much more. The Greek god who was born twice.
RM is an amazing rapper - check out his song JOKE and you listen to what RM can do every time you listen to a BTS song. His hands were on it somehow. He writes, produces and helps the other members write their own songs. Him and sugar are main lyric and musical writers of the group.
;)♡
You are back 😄
Have you read on his community tab? If not, do so to have further insight in his plan on RUclips about reactions + more! 🥰💌
@@Snooze.restblue.s he is moving away from reaction to re-creations.
I went to a museum dedicated to cinema that is how creative filmmakers are, they looked for crafty and inventive ways to make believe be magical.
speaking of the BU, there is a Korean drama series titled Begins ≠ Youth. It's a BTS Universe-inspired produced by Hybe. You should check it out.
