Some information about Spring Day: 1) RM & SUGA started writing the lyrics for this song after a long conversation they had that was sort of a bonding experience for them too. They were speaking about friends each one of them had lost contact with, for different circumstances, and about how much they missed them... How they missed when their lives were more simple, when friendships were more innocent, pure and uncomplicated. For example, they lost contact with childhood friends when they moved to Seoul to become artists; later on they felt betrayed by other friends who criticized their decision of becoming an idol group; they also hadn't been able to see certain current friends in a long time, due to their life-style of constant traveling, etc. (It is also speculated that Suga's rap verse is about the same ex-friend that he speaks about in the last track of his mixtape D-2, song called "Dear My Friend".) 2) Spring Day music production took a long time to finish. Something didn't seem to be working out, and it was finally finished when a couple of foreign producers (I am using this word losely, I believe Namjoon meant composers) got involved in the track. This song had many many edits. (Even more than usual.) V also showed us an snippet of the demo of his own version (for the chorus) that he submitted during Spring Day writing process. (I think RM's demo was the one that was selected though.) 3) When Spring Day was released, as one of the few additional tracks in the repackage album called "You Never Walk Alone" (the 2nd single was "Not Today"), the song became a huge hit in Korea. It has remained on the Korean charts for years. From it's debut on 2017 to the current date, it has never dropped from the top hot 100 there. (I'm sorry, I don't remember if Gaon or Melon charts.) Admittedly, ballads are a very popular music genre in Korea, but... The main reason for this local success was because many people found comfort on it, specially the familles of people who had passed away, due to illness or accidents or suicide. The song is about losing and missing loved ones... So the people related it to the feeling of longing for those who aren't here anymore. 4) I will explain some of the symbolism of the music video: they show scenes in which BTS are together, having fun, celebrating someone's birthday party... This shows how friendship is a source of happiness, happy memories. There are other scenes in a train. Trains are transportation vehicles that allow people to travel long distances... They are often used to symbolise the pass of time, any type of transition, and the travel to the afterlife too, going to hell or heaven, after you die. The shoes hanging on the trees are also a reference to people passing away and mourning them. And then there are scenes in which BTS are walking in the snow, walking together towards that tree, while you see the sunlight and the snow starting to melt. These tree scenarios show the three themes of the song: a) friendships or close relationships; b) losing loved ones or longing for them when you are separated; c) the transition from winter (pain/sadness/separation/grief) to spring (love/joy/reunion/meeting each other again, eventually.) 5) The music video has references to the film "Snowpierce" (science-fiction post-apocalyptic distopian film directed by Bong Joon-ho) and the short novel "The ones who walk away from the Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin. I'm not going to explain the entire plot of this movie and book, but, they have common topics about criticizing the division of social classes and people living a life of privilege at the expense of minorities, children, the marginalized, or other people who are forced to stay underprivileged. (I recommend both by the way, they're good.) Lastly, I will add that there seems to be a scene that is reminiscing of the well-known fairytale called "The Little Match Girl," by Hans Christian Andersen. (You can find longer explanations and MV analysis in the replies to this comment.) 6) The mountain of clothes in which BTS members are sitting towards the end of the video, is a clear imitation or reference to the art installation called "Personnes" (People) or, alternatively, “No Man's Land,” a work by the French artist Christian Boltanski, that was installed at the Park Avenue Armory in 2010. That project was meant to make the public reflect about life and death, about the arbitrariness of death and survival. The mountain of clothes can be seen as a representation of the lives that were lost or that are struggling to survive. His work in general has recurrent topics in relation to preserving the memory of people. 7) A lot of Korean people were able to use Spring Day to mourn the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that happened a couple years before (in 2014). In fact, it is widely theorized and believed that BTS and Big Hit decided to incorporate imaginery relating to the Sewol Ferry incident in the music video and in the choreography for the track. (There's a lot of details that suggest so... For example, the choreography shows them forming the shape of a boat.) In summary: There was a national tragedy in South Korea known as the "Sewol Ferry Tragedy". In this incident, many high school students (on a trip to Jeju Island), lost their lives by drowning. (304 of the 476 passengers were killed, 250 of them were 2nd-year high school students. 172 survivors, 5 of the bodies were never recovered.) This incident was particularly cruel, traumatic and horrific because there was corruption from the government involved in why the ship was in bad conditions, plus the entire thing was being recorded live from the coast... It was hellish. Families and people saw the events happening on real time... People gathered in the coast to help with small boats, while the government did nothing but deny their mistakes and try to difficult the rescuing efforts. The attitude of the Captain of the boat was also cowardly and caused many more deaths, many of which could have been prevented if the authorities had been responsible and honorable. Plus, the Korean government tried to save face by silencing the news and trying to ban the people and artists from even speaking about what had happened. (The poor management of this was one of the arguments used on trial, during the impeachment of the former President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, years later.) 8) It was reported, many years later, that BTS and some crew from Big Hit, made anonymous donations to the families who lost their kids during the Sewol Ferry accident, and even visited some of their homes to give their condolences. This was earlier in their career, by the way. 9) ARMY's nickname for this song are "The Eternal Queen" and "Queen Spring Day". There are many running jokes about how this single is competitive and how it stubbornly comes running to rise higher again in the music charts, every single time BTS releases a new title track or single. BTS are well aware of how well received was Spring Day and have heard stories shared by fans who connected with the song in multiple ways... (They do fan surveys, they read fans letters, they watch fan reactions videos, they hear the crowd singing along in concerts, etc...) 10) In short, Spring Day is a song that was inspired by the experience of "losing friends due to different circumstances". This meaning can easily be extended, by interpretation, to the painful experience of "losing loved ones, due to different circumstances". It's a song about lost friendships, missing people, wishing to reunite with others... It's a song about longing, grief and hope for the spring to come, once again. Because no winter (no season) lasts forever. It is a single that means a lot to BTS & ARMY. A song that has comforted millions of people.

The comment is largely the same, but it was already very long and I didn't want to be confusing. I added links too, although THAT may be too much lol
First of all, you did great! Thanks for the facts btw. Second of all, thanks so muchhhh. I know a few if these facts and the other ones are truly incredible! Thank you!
On a lighter note, RM called his childhood friend on the phone and was able to re-fresh some of his friendships during the writing/release of Spring Day. He talked a little about it during the album review... He was preaching about how you just have to make the first step and not overthink... It may be hard to make the first step, but it's usually worth it. But yeah, he was still in contact with some high school friends... And said he had a friend who didn't listened to BTS music, but heard Spring Day and told him "oh your music is good" lol So, Namjoon's advise was to introduce stubborn people to Spring Day first lmao
@@cassandraandrei6610 No, they are not. But, the clothes do represent people. It's an obvious imitation of a very famous art project... I don't remember the name of the artist in this moment... But, there's this person who put a mountain of clothes in a train station. The shocking/avantgarde aspect of this is that it was not like a structure over which you put clothes but literally a mountain of clothing from the ground to the top... It also includes clothes in the floor around the mountain... (I was an art nerd so I knew about this before this MV came out lol) Anyways, in the context of Spring Day MV, the mountain of clothes can certainly represent "the lives that were lost". I'm going to add this info to the original comment.
I know ferry Tragedy theory, the theory this video is talking about and the bu storyline theory about v trying to kill himself and jin is dead theory. There is lots of theory for this mv
Theres a theory that says that the music video is based off “Ferry Tragedy” Which is when a ship in 2014 sank with workers and students 299 died on that day.During Namjoons part when he was on the trains you can see abandoned suit cases which represent the people who went on that ship and never came back( which means they died… ) Also, at the start Taehyung is supposed to represent a guilty survivor who is guilty cause his friends and everyone died but he didn’t. The rusty,old merry go round behind Jungkook represents loss of childhood, also is says “You never walk alone” keep this in mind. Omelas is a society who ignores suffering to be happy. Jhope and Suga are supposed to represent the people from Omelas. In the lyrics of Spring Day, Rap Mon mentions 'Snowpiercer'. Snowpiercer is a movie by Korean director Joon-ho Bong. The movie takes place entirely on a train. The movie symbolizes human society, where the people in the"front" of the train (upper class, government) treat the "tail" of the train (regular people) in an inhumane way. In Snow piercer the main guy wants to confront the government for doing this and when he walks in the middle of the train but then gets attacked by the rebels, Which is what happens when Namjoon walks into Omelas he gets attacked by the members which represent the rebels. The scene after that there are stairs and Jin is at the bottom while other members are walking up, Jin, is supposed to represent the ones that passed watching the other ones walk up the stairs which represents growing up. 'Fighting back tears, an 18-year-old boy who spoke for the survivors said: "Grown-ups are constantly telling us to forget and cheer up. But we will remember and recollect our friends. Because not forgetting them is what we can do at best. Just as we will remember them, please don't forget them."On the washing machine you see a piece of paper that says “ Don’t forget “. Christain Boltanski made a art installations with a pile of many clothes that represents souls and bodies which is what the pile of clothes Suga was sitting on represents( The victims ). At one point Jungkook wakes up and seeks justice like Namjoon so he runs through the train, to omelas, through the laundromat, then outside and he thinks he’s alone but then the other members come which is way it said “you never walk alone“ behind Jungkook ( You never walk alone is also a album they made ) the next scene( when the train is passing by ) symbolizes that even if justice is achieved or not achieved, what's done is done. The dead will not come back to life. In the Snowpiercer movie, the humans are stuck living inside the train because the world outside has completely frozen. It represents how many of us are stuck inside a society or government that is opressive, with no way out. However, one of the characters suspects that there is the possibility of life outside the train. There is a way out of the opressive system. He saw a snowflake enter the train, for the first time in many many years. Snowflakes would not be able to form if the temperature is subzero / frozen. So he realized that somewhere, outside, the earth is slowly warming up again. There is hope for survival outside. In a scene Jimin steps out of the train - out of the opressive system that is the society and government that had tried to downplay the tragedy. He invites us with him. The tree represents hope, a new life, a spring day. In many cultures, shoes are hung on trees to commemorate the dead. "Just as we cannot forget them, we ask that the citizens of this country also never forget them." - Shin Young Jin, survivor. I got this theory from Bullet proof vibes you can go watch the full video with more details.
yep, all of this is right. also I read a note left that said your friend bought you a beautiful pair of shoes, and we are all waiting for your eturn. Broke my hear. also the country tied yellow ribbons all over to remind and memorize those lost. imagine 300 children gone, 600 parents, add grandparents, siblings friends. all the people affected by the loss of a child. This song is perfect.
Spring day is still on gaon charts and also in TOP 50 even after more than 4 years. This song is just a warm hug and also makes me cry sometimes. The pile of clothes on which suga was sitting kind of representing the people who died only their clothes are left behind. The way clothes were rotating in washing machine represents the kids who died like this when ship was sinking. The clock also in this scene stop at the exact time when people couldn't communication with the people inside the ship. DON'T FORGET was written on top of the washing machine because a surviour said we should never forget our friend it's the best we can do for them because grownups were telling them to forget everything.The yellow ribbons behind jungkook on the rusted is related to the tragedy YOU NEVER WALK ALONE was the campaign related to this tragedy and also BTS album name. In the starting V was sucidial because of the guilt that he survived but his friend didn't and probably JIN died that's why he was just watching his friends growing up but he couldn't grow with them cause he is dead. I tried to explain certain things but still explaination video is must.
@@Isa06137 Yeah that's correct. The director of the music video made the mountain of clothes, probably inspired by an American artist who had a similar art installation. The art installation had nothing to do with the tragedy, it was just about the idea of people passing away and was a part of a bigger collection of work about human life. I'm curious on where you heard that information?
Don't forget to watch explanation it adds so much depth to this beautiful MV. Love you jordan. STAN BTS and JORDON if you are depressed and want a free therapy Today is bang si hyuk pd nim birthday if anyone don't know.
This song is very powerful, you will need to check out the meaning of this video. This MV is actually about a ferry accident (SEWOL TRAGEDY) that killed students and how the government covered it up. It also tells of survivors' guilt. The pile of clothes Suga is on represents the clothes from those who passed
Actually, the part where Jin is at the bottom of the maze, basically symbolizes him as the people who have passed away. Everyone else is able to get up except for him. It’s just a beautiful art :)
The MV is choatically beautiful??? Like melancholic but still beautiful in a sad way. Does that make any sense. Like the song is too. Both are amazing works of art
There are far more references to the Sewol Ferry tragedy in this MV than the shows. There’s a really good breakdown by an Italian member of ARMY here on RUclips in her video “What you still don’t know about BTS Spring Day MV.” One of the biggest references is the shot where the camera is inside the washing machine and Jin in framed in a circle that looks like a porthole, while the lyrics say, “Please just stay there a little longer,” which is something that the students in their compartments were told over the ferry’s intercom. This MV is beautiful in that it can have a myriad of meanings-it can touch someone personally and make them think of a past relationship or deceased loved one, or a friend they haven’t been able to see in a long time. But this MV is subtly and yet inextricably tied to the Sewol Ferry tragedy in more ways than the shoes.
10:39 i just wanna say that no matter how many times i have listened to the song, Taehyung's voice at the specific part always gets me, like literally the goosebumps i get are unbelievable
@@ELLA-ji6yr Correlate, not mean the same thing. It's like I Need U, the song was about a relationship but the music video broaden it the topic and was made to be about friendship. Spring Day is about a broken friendship and losing someone, the music video takes the topic and applies it to a real situation.
@@ipurpleu1668 exactly whst i just said 💀💀 both the song and the mv can be about different situations depending on your interpretation. the members have said different things about the meaning as well. now why are u pressed under every comment here.. op isnt wrong
When I showed this MV to my brother he wanted to see the cake hit RM’s face and he got annoyed how they cut it right before it hit his face. He told me “ does it hit his face later on?? “ and I was like “ uh no I don’t think so lol “
Another cool thing is that the lyrics are incorporated with the video. RM's verse directly mentions Snowpiercer (the movie). Jungkook's verse "Snowflakes fall down and drift away little by little" is a reference to the main character seeing snowflakes fall and realizing that there's hope for life outside of the train. And Jungkook is the one who follows RM off the train to join the others (because You Never Walk Alone)
This is a refreshing interpretation of the mv. For years, we’ve associated this with the ferry tragedy. The amount of interpretations for this mv and song is fascinating.
This is not true. I'm not sure where this information is coming from, but the actual clothes of victims was not used in the music video or in the original piece of art. The original piece that inspired the one in the music video was not about the ferry incident at all. It was done by an American artist and was just about people in general who passed away, nothing to do with the tragedy.
@@ipurpleu1668 considering that it was produced by a Korean director, and considering all the importance that Korean people place on this song, I'm sure it has to do with the ferry incident.
@IPurpleU spring day has several references, besides the book omelas, also the movie snowpierce, I recommend you watch videos on RUclips that explain each of the meanings of this mv
@@letyciakaroline3954 I’m just saying that the original piece of art was not about the tragedy, so no there is not clothes from the actual victims, like it implies in the comment.
This song was also dedicated to Seoul Ferry Tragedy too, back when this tragedy happened it was kinda forbidden to talk about it because the President of SK said so to make it look like nothing happened but in middle of this crackdown of not letting the country grieve BTS had visited the families of victims and gave there condolences eventhough it was dangerous to do so . Even in the choreography of the song there are moments like BTS makes a ship. That's why along with bitter truth of what Youth goes through , the dedication to the tragedy makes this song really sad 😔
there are theories that this music video and this song is a tribute for the victims of the sewol ferry incident in korea in 2014 if im not mistaken, where the ferry carries mostly student passengers for a school trip and a lot of them passed away (rest in peace) there are many symbolisms throughout the video such as the luggages in rm’s scene that represents the students’ carriers left on the boat, the yellow ribbons on the merry-go-round (which is the symbol used to remember the victims), the pile of clothes in suga’s scene that are supposedly the victim’s clothes, in the laundry machines there are signs that says “dont forget” which means dont forget the lives of the ones who passed away, jimin symbolises the loved ones left by the victims thats why he has been looking upset the whole time and thats why he’s always on the seaside. the shoes on the tree branch at the end is a symbolism that someone has died and its kind of an act to remember them, and many more (there are also meanings behind the laundry area, seokjin, the train, and omelas!) the music video also shows bts reminiscing their lost youth like what happened to the victims of the incident. it also has a reference to the movie snowpiercer bcs in the sewol ferry incident, the authorities on the boat told the students to stay inside instead of just jumping off, which led to more victims passing away. (in snowpiercer the rich and influential are at the front of the train and the lower class are at the end. in comparison, the authorities are the rich and the students are the lower class, im not explaining this right, just watch a theory video) these are all just theories but they match up perfectly if it is really about the sewol ferry tragedy. i tried connecting it with the existing bts universe and it just doesnt make sense. i hope this helps tho hehe
From BTS Nov 2020 Interview in Esquire Magazine, "According to some reports, the South Korean government actively tried to silence entertainers who spoke out against it, with the Korean Ministry of Education fully banning the tragedy’s commemorative yellow ribbons in schools. I ask whether it was about a specific sad event, and Jin tells me, “It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing.”
This song makes me feel a bunch of emotions but it always makes me want to cry happy or sad tears. There's a bunch of meanings behind this song but I also apply it to my real life and it's just amazing how music can really impact you internally. I don't know how to explain it but it certainly makes me feel super nostalgic and like I'm missing someone or something and I don't have to understand the lyrics to understand the feelings that it induces and I think that's what's really amazing about this song
One of the things I love the most is how Jimin always having the shoes with him means that he won't leave behind those who couldn't reach their springs. And it is a beautiful memorial. Spring Day is the true queen and I miss her on the top of charts.
11:35 OMFG ok so i think that scene is a reference to "La petite fille aux allumettes" (sry don't know the english translation) a tale where a little girl is alone in the cold winter on Christmas Eve, with only a box of matches. each time she lights up one, her grandmother who'd passed away a long time ago would reappear and she could talk with her and even hug her, which gave her the closure she never had. however, she's used all the matches and ends up dying bc of the cold
I love how you have your own theories instead of all other theories about the tragedy of Sewol ship. Your theory is still makes sense, it still correlated to the main theory.
This theory is known, it just isn't talked about as much as the Sewol Tragedy. This theory is what BTS and Bighit have announced as being the storyline of the MV while the Sewol theory is all just assumptions since BTS never announced that the MV was about the Sewol Tragedy.
i appreciate how you actually analyze the video and not just sit blankly giving surprised reactions like some other youtubers who use the boy's popularity to favor themselves.
it's the sewol ferry tragedy theory for me. 08:35 the yellow ribbons behind jungkook represents the campaign for sewol victims back in 2014, everyone was posting tweets etc. with yellow ribbon emoji dedicated to victims. mountain of clothes belong to kids drowned, they are colorful, it's obvious they belong to teenagers. lyrics are about missing friends, so people assume these bts members symbolize survivors "spring day" name makes sense cause accident happened in april i'm not even gonna talk about jimin's shoes scene cause i'm 'bout to cry :( i'll let the scene speak for itself 💔 this mv has so many more evidence-like scenes and lyrics to be about the tragedy, i wrote the main ones
"You never walk alone" - the theme of the song, as well as the name of its album. Jungkook is not able to light the match alone, but is able to do when he has all the members sitting behind him. He's not alone in the train alone, which seemed otherwise in the starting of the music video. Turns out that Suga was not alone in the baggage of him dealing with the loss of his dear one (stack of clothes), all members were there. The train scene also is taken from the movie Snow piercer. Jin looks at the washing machine which makes him realise that time is a continued loop and doesn't stop for anyone, just like the train in Snow piercer which went round and round without stopping. The emotions are well represented by the use of season. It's winter in the starting of the music video, and transitions to spring at the end. It means that no matter how hard things get (winter, there is a lyric which says - its just August but it feels like winter already), we wilk get pass through the long winters to our spring day. And even though it may seem like that, but you are not alone in this journey. What a beautiful message this music video holds. No wonder even after so many years this song is topping music charts and remains a fan favourite 💜
TW: mentions of d*ath I am someone who watched a lot of videos about the Sewol Ferry incident. And because of all those videos, I started to feel an emotional attachment. I can't ever imagine how terrible it is to pass on feeling cold and alone and trapped in air bubbles without help... it is a nightmare for me. I pray for the families who were directly affected by the tragedy and tears fills my eyes every time I hear or remember the stories. Fly high, rest in peace to those who passed on then
Same here and imagine just being able to stay alive due to the air bubble then suddenly that air bubble starts to go away due to the fact that the crisis guard people (idk the name of the corporation) were trying to be nice since the president of the corporation or probably of korea was present
I started my BTS journey two months ago. Thx for the descriptions on BTS videos, makes it easier for me to understand due to the language barrier. Great work 👍🏻 😊
In all mvs of bts this song has more deep meaning plz check out completely about this video everything 💜😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 actually in the end of this video jimin is the only one to live on earth remaining are dead. He is missing is friends..😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜
Spring Day is not just a song, it's a healing therapy for everyone. A perfect song with perfect lyricism and representation through the video 💜 Spring Day is about a hope for better times as the lyrics say "No season is eternal. After Winter, it's always Spring". Like in BST they regret leaving their youth and stepping into adulthood representing it as a dark period but in Spring Day they're just moving on through their life with a hope for better times. The lyrics talk about missing a friend and probably their Youth is the friend they miss. There's so so many theories about this masterpiece and correctly titled as "QUEEN" song because indeed Spring Day is frickity freakin QUEEN ✨✨✨
6:38 Whenever I watch this scene I tear up thinking that those students who were going on a trip passed away not being able to say goodbye to their parents. How hard it must have been for the parents. Mom, Dad I love you.
There are a lot of theories this but no one can't deny that this song is awesome. This has a stackfull of symbolism which is really a signature of BTS.
as a viewer we're not really aware of the intentions of the transitions, color filters but thank the heavens we have a creative like jordan to explain things on us. 😭 theories about this mv makes so much more sense to me ngl 😭
This Song Is About 2014 Ferry Sewol Accident in Seoul, korea.. Many students died in that incident and BTS also other Groups Decided to Make this song For Them .....Korea Can't never Forget that Moment.. That Suga's Rap scene, The clothes represents The Students clothes
OMG JORDAN you brought a different kind of view upon this MV (the train/youth stuff), it actually made me emotional just to hear you dissect this... omg
Fun fact : this song was a gift for the ppl who died in that one big accident 4 years ago in Korea ( search it cus I don't really know the context sorry )
Spring day has a real super deep meaning that will forever be remembered in SOUTH KOREA.This song has a soft spot in every korean because of its inspiration that is why it's still charting in GAON CHARTS in 4 consecutive years=)
I always take this MV as a memory for the young students who passed away. Maybe it's because I'm Korean. :) But it was really good to watch another theory and interpretation! By the way this song makes so cry... literally everytime!!!!
Love this song a lot. Almost cried watching this again with you 🥺 But as always, love your energy 😂 and thanks for sharing your interpretations. As an editor, I totally feel ya on the train whooshing by while it times with the music haha. 🤣
I love that you do your research behind BTS' m/vs. Not only does it show that you are willing to learn more about them as artists but it also brings a great educational touch to your reaction. Great video!! :)
Now that I consider myself an 'adult' i see the mv and i can face reality... i mean yeah is painful but if you have people around you that can help you with all, the things can be better.
went here because recently, the teaser celebrated it's anniversary once again. Basically, at the end, Jimin had finally accepted what happened. He mourned and he can still mourn about the 'loss' but he have finally sent them/whoever it is off. Like seasons, it just goes by. The song means 'til the spring comes again' or 'til we meet again.' It's just so... heartbreaking 🥺😭
HI JORDAN! "You Never Walk Alone" is the title of the album that Spring Day is part of (which is referenced above JK) :> I love all your BTS MV reacts! Keep it up!
Remember that the camera will be off soon, lol then there's Ms. Ashley!!🥊💥 Thanks again for your help with the messages throughout the song. It makes sense the way you interpret it. Yes, JESUS surely loves us, know that you are loved!! Akita, 🇺🇸 woman
This video and song make me so emotional. But I love how you make theories and full on narratives that are kind of completely not what the songs or videos are about. You’re really good at finding a bunch of dots but not necessarily connecting them.
The whole analysis of Jin watching others go on and age. When you think it’s because he’s the oldest, but realize it’s really because he has died and his friends are still living on 🥺😭
There is absolutely a reason why this song charts in Korea all of the time even tho it was released years ago. It’s so good. So meaningful. So lovely 💜💜💜
Actually JK didn't hop on the train, cause the scene shows him with the other 6 watching him on the train... So, in a theory someone said it's like a crossover between life and death... Someone else said it's life reminding you that even if you move on, what is done is done (the death will not come back to life)... So, who knows 😂
I love you and your sense of art and humour soooo much that I wish you get hired as a editor in hybe lables. And also can you react to lion by g-idle and secret story of the swan by izo*ne?
So far, this song is the most meaningful for me. The tune brings serenity and it is healing but once u found out the meaning and inspiration of the song, u can't help but to cry because it's just so sad. I really can't listen to this song without crying since its debut anymore
i'm a new army and I love the way you react to BTS's videos. your editor perspective makes us understand why the videos are made like that. thank you for walking us through the storyline of each videos - IT REALLY MAKES SENSE!!!! Can't wait for more sir!!!!

Some information about Spring Day:
1) RM & SUGA started writing the lyrics for this song after a long conversation they had that was sort of a bonding experience for them too. They were speaking about friends each one of them had lost contact with, for different circumstances, and about how much they missed them... How they missed when their lives were more simple, when friendships were more innocent, pure and uncomplicated. For example, they lost contact with childhood friends when they moved to Seoul to become artists; later on they felt betrayed by other friends who criticized their decision of becoming an idol group; they also hadn't been able to see certain current friends in a long time, due to their life-style of constant traveling, etc. (It is also speculated that Suga's rap verse is about the same ex-friend that he speaks about in the last track of his mixtape D-2, song called "Dear My Friend".)
2) Spring Day music production took a long time to finish. Something didn't seem to be working out, and it was finally finished when a couple of foreign producers (I am using this word losely, I believe Namjoon meant composers) got involved in the track. This song had many many edits. (Even more than usual.) V also showed us an snippet of the demo of his own version (for the chorus) that he submitted during Spring Day writing process. (I think RM's demo was the one that was selected though.)
3) When Spring Day was released, as one of the few additional tracks in the repackage album called "You Never Walk Alone" (the 2nd single was "Not Today"), the song became a huge hit in Korea. It has remained on the Korean charts for years. From it's debut on 2017 to the current date, it has never dropped from the top hot 100 there. (I'm sorry, I don't remember if Gaon or Melon charts.) Admittedly, ballads are a very popular music genre in Korea, but... The main reason for this local success was because many people found comfort on it, specially the familles of people who had passed away, due to illness or accidents or suicide. The song is about losing and missing loved ones... So the people related it to the feeling of longing for those who aren't here anymore.
4) I will explain some of the symbolism of the music video: they show scenes in which BTS are together, having fun, celebrating someone's birthday party... This shows how friendship is a source of happiness, happy memories. There are other scenes in a train. Trains are transportation vehicles that allow people to travel long distances... They are often used to symbolise the pass of time, any type of transition, and the travel to the afterlife too, going to hell or heaven, after you die. The shoes hanging on the trees are also a reference to people passing away and mourning them. And then there are scenes in which BTS are walking in the snow, walking together towards that tree, while you see the sunlight and the snow starting to melt. These tree scenarios show the three themes of the song: a) friendships or close relationships; b) losing loved ones or longing for them when you are separated; c) the transition from winter (pain/sadness/separation/grief) to spring (love/joy/reunion/meeting each other again, eventually.)
5) The music video has references to the film "Snowpierce" (science-fiction post-apocalyptic distopian film directed by Bong Joon-ho) and the short novel "The ones who walk away from the Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin. I'm not going to explain the entire plot of this movie and book, but, they have common topics about criticizing the division of social classes and people living a life of privilege at the expense of minorities, children, the marginalized, or other people who are forced to stay underprivileged. (I recommend both by the way, they're good.) Lastly, I will add that there seems to be a scene that is reminiscing of the well-known fairytale called "The Little Match Girl," by Hans Christian Andersen. (You can find longer explanations and MV analysis in the replies to this comment.)
6) The mountain of clothes in which BTS members are sitting towards the end of the video, is a clear imitation or reference to the art installation called "Personnes" (People) or, alternatively, “No Man's Land,” a work by the French artist Christian Boltanski, that was installed at the Park Avenue Armory in 2010. That project was meant to make the public reflect about life and death, about the arbitrariness of death and survival. The mountain of clothes can be seen as a representation of the lives that were lost or that are struggling to survive. His work in general has recurrent topics in relation to preserving the memory of people.
7) A lot of Korean people were able to use Spring Day to mourn the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that happened a couple years before (in 2014). In fact, it is widely theorized and believed that BTS and Big Hit decided to incorporate imaginery relating to the Sewol Ferry incident in the music video and in the choreography for the track. (There's a lot of details that suggest so... For example, the choreography shows them forming the shape of a boat.)
In summary: There was a national tragedy in South Korea known as the "Sewol Ferry Tragedy". In this incident, many high school students (on a trip to Jeju Island), lost their lives by drowning. (304 of the 476 passengers were killed, 250 of them were 2nd-year high school students. 172 survivors, 5 of the bodies were never recovered.)
This incident was particularly cruel, traumatic and horrific because there was corruption from the government involved in why the ship was in bad conditions, plus the entire thing was being recorded live from the coast... It was hellish. Families and people saw the events happening on real time... People gathered in the coast to help with small boats, while the government did nothing but deny their mistakes and try to difficult the rescuing efforts. The attitude of the Captain of the boat was also cowardly and caused many more deaths, many of which could have been prevented if the authorities had been responsible and honorable. Plus, the Korean government tried to save face by silencing the news and trying to ban the people and artists from even speaking about what had happened. (The poor management of this was one of the arguments used on trial, during the impeachment of the former President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, years later.)
8) It was reported, many years later, that BTS and some crew from Big Hit, made anonymous donations to the families who lost their kids during the Sewol Ferry accident, and even visited some of their homes to give their condolences. This was earlier in their career, by the way.
9) ARMY's nickname for this song are "The Eternal Queen" and "Queen Spring Day". There are many running jokes about how this single is competitive and how it stubbornly comes running to rise higher again in the music charts, every single time BTS releases a new title track or single. BTS are well aware of how well received was Spring Day and have heard stories shared by fans who connected with the song in multiple ways... (They do fan surveys, they read fans letters, they watch fan reactions videos, they hear the crowd singing along in concerts, etc...)
10) In short, Spring Day is a song that was inspired by the experience of "losing friends due to different circumstances". This meaning can easily be extended, by interpretation, to the painful experience of "losing loved ones, due to different circumstances". It's a song about lost friendships, missing people, wishing to reunite with others... It's a song about longing, grief and hope for the spring to come, once again. Because no winter (no season) lasts forever. It is a single that means a lot to BTS & ARMY. A song that has comforted millions of people.

PS 2: Thanks to everyone in the comments, I added some of the topics people seem to want me to address. The comment is largely the same, but it was already very long and I didn't want to be confusing. I added links too, although THAT may be too much lol
First of all, you did great! Thanks for the facts btw. Second of all, thanks so muchhhh. I know a few if these facts and the other ones are truly incredible! Thank you!
Wow thank you so much fir the infos !
On a lighter note, RM called his childhood friend on the phone and was able to re-fresh some of his friendships during the writing/release of Spring Day. He talked a little about it during the album review... He was preaching about how you just have to make the first step and not overthink... It may be hard to make the first step, but it's usually worth it.
But yeah, he was still in contact with some high school friends... And said he had a friend who didn't listened to BTS music, but heard Spring Day and told him "oh your music is good" lol So, Namjoon's advise was to introduce stubborn people to Spring Day first lmao
I think those mountain clothes are also the clothes of the high school students who died in the said tragedy.
@@cassandraandrei6610 No, they are not. But, the clothes do represent people. It's an obvious imitation of a very famous art project... I don't remember the name of the artist in this moment... But, there's this person who put a mountain of clothes in a train station. The shocking/avantgarde aspect of this is that it was not like a structure over which you put clothes but literally a mountain of clothing from the ground to the top... It also includes clothes in the floor around the mountain... (I was an art nerd so I knew about this before this MV came out lol)
Anyways, in the context of Spring Day MV, the mountain of clothes can certainly represent "the lives that were lost". I'm going to add this info to the original comment.
‘Spring Day’ is the Queen. The song that never fall down from k-music chart.

The theories of this MV is beyond my thinking power-
You don't know spring day theory??
@@F123-m5u I do, I was just being sarcastic.....also, there are atleast 6 to 7 theories of Spring Day
@@asd_05 yeah but its so sad
I know ferry Tragedy theory, the theory this video is talking about and the bu storyline theory about v trying to kill himself and jin is dead theory. There is lots of theory for this mv
@@AS...15 yeah i know but its so sad
Theres a theory that says that the music video is based off “Ferry Tragedy” Which is when a ship in 2014 sank with workers and students 299 died on that day.During Namjoons part when he was on the trains you can see abandoned suit cases which represent the people who went on that ship and never came back( which means they died… ) Also, at the start Taehyung is supposed to represent a guilty survivor who is guilty cause his friends and everyone died but he didn’t. The rusty,old merry go round behind Jungkook represents loss of childhood, also is says “You never walk alone” keep this in mind. Omelas is a society who ignores suffering to be happy. Jhope and Suga are supposed to represent the people from Omelas.
In the lyrics of Spring Day, Rap Mon mentions 'Snowpiercer'. Snowpiercer is a movie by Korean director Joon-ho Bong. The movie takes place entirely on a train. The movie symbolizes human society, where the people in the"front" of the train (upper class, government) treat the "tail" of the train (regular people) in an inhumane way. In Snow piercer the main guy wants to confront the government for doing this and when he walks in the middle of the train but then gets attacked by the rebels, Which is what happens when Namjoon walks into Omelas he gets attacked by the members which represent the rebels. The scene after that there are stairs and Jin is at the bottom while other members are walking up, Jin, is supposed to represent the ones that passed watching the other ones walk up the stairs which represents growing up. 'Fighting back tears, an 18-year-old boy who spoke for the survivors said: "Grown-ups are constantly telling us to forget and cheer up. But we will remember and recollect our friends. Because not forgetting them is what we can do at best. Just as we will remember them, please don't forget them."On the washing machine you see a piece of paper that says “ Don’t forget “.
Christain Boltanski made a art installations with a pile of many clothes that represents souls and bodies which is what the pile of clothes Suga was sitting on represents( The victims ). At one point Jungkook wakes up and seeks justice like Namjoon so he runs through the train, to omelas, through the laundromat, then outside and he thinks he’s alone but then the other members come which is way it said
“you never walk alone“ behind Jungkook ( You never walk alone is also a album they made ) the next scene( when the train is passing by ) symbolizes that even if justice is achieved or not achieved, what's done is done. The dead will not come back to life.
In the Snowpiercer movie, the humans are stuck living inside the train because the world outside has completely frozen. It represents how many of us are stuck inside a society or government that is opressive, with no way out. However, one of the characters suspects that there is the possibility of life outside the train. There is a way out of the opressive system. He saw a snowflake enter the train, for the first time in many many years. Snowflakes would not be able to form if the temperature is subzero / frozen. So he realized that somewhere, outside, the earth is slowly warming up again. There is hope for survival outside. In a scene Jimin steps out of the train - out of the opressive system that is the society and government that had tried to downplay the tragedy. He invites us with him. The tree represents hope, a new life, a spring day. In many cultures, shoes are hung on trees to commemorate the dead. "Just as we cannot forget them, we ask that the citizens of this country also never forget them." - Shin Young Jin, survivor. I got this theory from Bullet proof vibes you can go watch the full video with more details.
Everyone should read this!
This is one long paragraph but verry helpful
Hi
yep, all of this is right. also I read a note left that said your friend bought you a beautiful pair of shoes, and we are all waiting for your eturn. Broke my hear. also the country tied yellow ribbons all over to remind and memorize those lost. imagine 300 children gone, 600 parents, add grandparents, siblings friends. all the people affected by the loss of a child. This song is perfect.
Some theories says jimin was the only one who survived
Spring day is still on gaon charts and also in TOP 50 even after more than 4 years.
This song is just a warm hug and also makes me cry sometimes.
The pile of clothes on which suga was sitting kind of representing the people who died only their clothes are left behind. The way clothes were rotating in washing machine represents the kids who died like this when ship was sinking. The clock also in this scene stop at the exact time when people couldn't communication with the people inside the ship. DON'T FORGET was written on top of the washing machine because a surviour said we should never forget our friend it's the best we can do for them because grownups were telling them to forget everything.The yellow ribbons behind jungkook on the rusted is related to the tragedy YOU NEVER WALK ALONE was the campaign related to this tragedy and also BTS album name. In the starting V was sucidial because of the guilt that he survived but his friend didn't and probably JIN died that's why he was just watching his friends growing up but he couldn't grow with them cause he is dead. I tried to explain certain things but still explaination video is must.
Those clothes do NOT actually belong to the victims. Please do not spread false information.
Melon too
@@ipurpleu1668 I edited is it right now?? Actually I read about it a lot places that why I wrote but now i edited you can still correct me
@@Isa06137 Yeah that's correct. The director of the music video made the mountain of clothes, probably inspired by an American artist who had a similar art installation. The art installation had nothing to do with the tragedy, it was just about the idea of people passing away and was a part of a bigger collection of work about human life. I'm curious on where you heard that information?

This song is very powerful, you will need to check out the meaning of this video. This MV is actually about a ferry accident (SEWOL TRAGEDY) that killed students and how the government covered it up. It also tells of survivors' guilt. The pile of clothes Suga is on represents the clothes from those who passed
Spring day is like jin. It never gets old 💜
thats true
Mic drop 🎤😎
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Actually, the part where Jin is at the bottom of the maze, basically symbolizes him as the people who have passed away. Everyone else is able to get up except for him. It’s just a beautiful art :)
RIP Sewol Ferry . A ship carrying 476 students working at danwon school rip to 304 students who died
The MV is choatically beautiful??? Like melancholic but still beautiful in a sad way. Does that make any sense. Like the song is too. Both are amazing works of art
💜💜💜
There are far more references to the Sewol Ferry tragedy in this MV than the shows. There’s a really good breakdown by an Italian member of ARMY here on RUclips in her video “What you still don’t know about BTS Spring Day MV.” One of the biggest references is the shot where the camera is inside the washing machine and Jin in framed in a circle that looks like a porthole, while the lyrics say, “Please just stay there a little longer,” which is something that the students in their compartments were told over the ferry’s intercom.
This MV is beautiful in that it can have a myriad of meanings-it can touch someone personally and make them think of a past relationship or deceased loved one, or a friend they haven’t been able to see in a long time. But this MV is subtly and yet inextricably tied to the Sewol Ferry tragedy in more ways than the shoes.
i can’t listen to this song without crying anymore 😢
I know right 😓😭
10:39 i just wanna say that no matter how many times i have listened to the song, Taehyung's voice at the specific part always gets me, like literally the goosebumps i get are unbelievable
Ikr ..same here ... it's so soulful....❤️
Spring day is about Sewol ferry tragedy when almost 400 people included 90% was children, drown down without any help
The music video, not the song.
@@ipurpleu1668 but he is reacting to the MUSIC VIDEO obv the comments are about the MUSIC VIDEO
@@jnyeo I'm talking about the COMMENT
@@ELLA-ji6yr Correlate, not mean the same thing. It's like I Need U, the song was about a relationship but the music video broaden it the topic and was made to be about friendship. Spring Day is about a broken friendship and losing someone, the music video takes the topic and applies it to a real situation.
@@ipurpleu1668 exactly whst i just said 💀💀 both the song and the mv can be about different situations depending on your interpretation. the members have said different things about the meaning as well. now why are u pressed under every comment here.. op isnt wrong
When I showed this MV to my brother he wanted to see the cake hit RM’s face and he got annoyed how they cut it right before it hit his face. He told me “ does it hit his face later on?? “ and I was like “ uh no I don’t think so lol “
😂😂😂
wow BTS masterpiece SPRING DAY
I am thrilled ...................!!!!!!!!
:)
Another cool thing is that the lyrics are incorporated with the video. RM's verse directly mentions Snowpiercer (the movie). Jungkook's verse "Snowflakes fall down and drift away little by little" is a reference to the main character seeing snowflakes fall and realizing that there's hope for life outside of the train. And Jungkook is the one who follows RM off the train to join the others (because You Never Walk Alone)
This is a refreshing interpretation of the mv. For years, we’ve associated this with the ferry tragedy. The amount of interpretations for this mv and song is fascinating.
The clothes scene is actually an actual art of the ferry incident
They have a same exact mountain of clothes of the victims in ferry incidents
This is not true. I'm not sure where this information is coming from, but the actual clothes of victims was not used in the music video or in the original piece of art. The original piece that inspired the one in the music video was not about the ferry incident at all. It was done by an American artist and was just about people in general who passed away, nothing to do with the tragedy.
@@ipurpleu1668 considering that it was produced by a Korean director, and considering all the importance that Korean people place on this song, I'm sure it has to do with the ferry incident.
@@ipurpleu1668 even the yellow ribbons that Koreans use to represent what happened appears on the carousel where jk is
@IPurpleU spring day has several references, besides the book omelas, also the movie snowpierce, I recommend you watch videos on RUclips that explain each of the meanings of this mv
@@letyciakaroline3954 I’m just saying that the original piece of art was not about the tragedy, so no there is not clothes from the actual victims, like it implies in the comment.
Ahh the queen of all BTS MVs💜still on the charts
💜💜💜
The story
The lyrics
The music video
and the artists itself is "MASTERPIECE", that's why this is my most favorite music video among BTS releases.
This song was also dedicated to Seoul Ferry Tragedy too, back when this tragedy happened it was kinda forbidden to talk about it because the President of SK said so to make it look like nothing happened but in middle of this crackdown of not letting the country grieve BTS had visited the families of victims and gave there condolences eventhough it was dangerous to do so . Even in the choreography of the song there are moments like BTS makes a ship. That's why along with bitter truth of what Youth goes through , the dedication to the tragedy makes this song really sad 😔
there are theories that this music video and this song is a tribute for the victims of the sewol ferry incident in korea in 2014 if im not mistaken, where the ferry carries mostly student passengers for a school trip and a lot of them passed away (rest in peace) there are many symbolisms throughout the video such as the luggages in rm’s scene that represents the students’ carriers left on the boat, the yellow ribbons on the merry-go-round (which is the symbol used to remember the victims), the pile of clothes in suga’s scene that are supposedly the victim’s clothes, in the laundry machines there are signs that says “dont forget” which means dont forget the lives of the ones who passed away, jimin symbolises the loved ones left by the victims thats why he has been looking upset the whole time and thats why he’s always on the seaside. the shoes on the tree branch at the end is a symbolism that someone has died and its kind of an act to remember them, and many more (there are also meanings behind the laundry area, seokjin, the train, and omelas!) the music video also shows bts reminiscing their lost youth like what happened to the victims of the incident. it also has a reference to the movie snowpiercer bcs in the sewol ferry incident, the authorities on the boat told the students to stay inside instead of just jumping off, which led to more victims passing away. (in snowpiercer the rich and influential are at the front of the train and the lower class are at the end. in comparison, the authorities are the rich and the students are the lower class, im not explaining this right, just watch a theory video)
these are all just theories but they match up perfectly if it is really about the sewol ferry tragedy. i tried connecting it with the existing bts universe and it just doesnt make sense. i hope this helps tho hehe
From BTS Nov 2020 Interview in Esquire Magazine, "According to some reports, the South Korean government actively tried to silence entertainers who spoke out against it, with the Korean Ministry of Education fully banning the tragedy’s commemorative yellow ribbons in schools. I ask whether it was about a specific sad event, and Jin tells me, “It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing.”
@@GG-0215 yeah thats why they never confirmed that the theories and spring day was about the sewol ferry tragedy
This song makes me feel a bunch of emotions but it always makes me want to cry happy or sad tears. There's a bunch of meanings behind this song but I also apply it to my real life and it's just amazing how music can really impact you internally. I don't know how to explain it but it certainly makes me feel super nostalgic and like I'm missing someone or something and I don't have to understand the lyrics to understand the feelings that it induces and I think that's what's really amazing about this song
The way Jordan is becoming one of the army’s who make theories while we just look at the mv saying bro that was lit!!
One of the things I love the most is how Jimin always having the shoes with him means that he won't leave behind those who couldn't reach their springs. And it is a beautiful memorial. Spring Day is the true queen and I miss her on the top of charts.
11:35 OMFG ok so i think that scene is a reference to "La petite fille aux allumettes" (sry don't know the english translation) a tale where a little girl is alone in the cold winter on Christmas Eve, with only a box of matches. each time she lights up one, her grandmother who'd passed away a long time ago would reappear and she could talk with her and even hug her, which gave her the closure she never had. however, she's used all the matches and ends up dying bc of the cold
Every time you reacted to BTS MV you look so happy. As an ARMY I am so glad that you enjoy every Music Video of BTS. Thank You

I love how you have your own theories instead of all other theories about the tragedy of Sewol ship.
Your theory is still makes sense, it still correlated to the main theory.
This theory is known, it just isn't talked about as much as the Sewol Tragedy. This theory is what BTS and Bighit have announced as being the storyline of the MV while the Sewol theory is all just assumptions since BTS never announced that the MV was about the Sewol Tragedy.
i appreciate how you actually analyze the video and not just sit blankly giving surprised reactions like some other youtubers who use the boy's popularity to favor themselves.
5:30
Jordan: Hey pay attention to the this
The screen: *reads “Pay Attion”*
Me: what
spring day is dedicated to the SEWOL FERRY TRAGEDY in Korea back in 2014
it's the sewol ferry tragedy theory for me.
08:35 the yellow ribbons behind jungkook represents the campaign for sewol victims back in 2014, everyone was posting tweets etc. with yellow ribbon emoji dedicated to victims.
mountain of clothes belong to kids drowned, they are colorful, it's obvious they belong to teenagers.
lyrics are about missing friends, so people assume these bts members symbolize survivors
"spring day" name makes sense cause accident happened in april
i'm not even gonna talk about jimin's shoes scene cause i'm 'bout to cry :( i'll let the scene speak for itself 💔
this mv has so many more evidence-like scenes and lyrics to be about the tragedy, i wrote the main ones
"You never walk alone" - the theme of the song, as well as the name of its album. Jungkook is not able to light the match alone, but is able to do when he has all the members sitting behind him. He's not alone in the train alone, which seemed otherwise in the starting of the music video. Turns out that Suga was not alone in the baggage of him dealing with the loss of his dear one (stack of clothes), all members were there.
The train scene also is taken from the movie Snow piercer.
Jin looks at the washing machine which makes him realise that time is a continued loop and doesn't stop for anyone, just like the train in Snow piercer which went round and round without stopping.
The emotions are well represented by the use of season. It's winter in the starting of the music video, and transitions to spring at the end. It means that no matter how hard things get (winter, there is a lyric which says - its just August but it feels like winter already), we wilk get pass through the long winters to our spring day. And even though it may seem like that, but you are not alone in this journey.
What a beautiful message this music video holds. No wonder even after so many years this song is topping music charts and remains a fan favourite 💜
Not only the MV but the lyrics. Its very artistic and you felt the lyrics so much 💜
Rewatching this gem. Every time I’m about to cry Jordan says/does something funny that stops the tears lol
TW: mentions of d*ath
I am someone who watched a lot of videos about the Sewol Ferry incident. And because of all those videos, I started to feel an emotional attachment. I can't ever imagine how terrible it is to pass on feeling cold and alone and trapped in air bubbles without help... it is a nightmare for me. I pray for the families who were directly affected by the tragedy and tears fills my eyes every time I hear or remember the stories. Fly high, rest in peace to those who passed on then
Same here and imagine just being able to stay alive due to the air bubble then suddenly that air bubble starts to go away due to the fact that the crisis guard people (idk the name of the corporation) were trying to be nice since the president of the corporation or probably of korea was present
bts are the best storytellers and can really explain a story with full detail in the best ways. it’s always so interesting.
This song made me ARMY. So many layers, so sad and hopeful and meaningful. Thanks for doing this! 💜
This has been my favorite BTS song for so long, I try to not cry every time I hear it
After all these years, Spring Day still tugs my heart. Truly a masterpiece.
Ngl your theory actually makes me wanna cry, but it's beautiful) Thank you ❤
“Those who Walk Away From Omelas” is one of my favourite short stories, and I think everyone should read it. 😃
Ursula K LeGuin is THE BOMB! Second to no one!
I started my BTS journey two months ago. Thx for the descriptions on BTS videos, makes it easier for me to understand due to the language barrier. Great work 👍🏻 😊
In all mvs of bts this song has more deep meaning plz check out completely about this video everything 💜😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 actually in the end of this video jimin is the only one to live on earth remaining are dead. He is missing is friends..😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜
My all-time favourite BTS song. No other song has ever replaced this queen
Spring Day is not just a song, it's a healing therapy for everyone. A perfect song with perfect lyricism and representation through the video 💜 Spring Day is about a hope for better times as the lyrics say "No season is eternal. After Winter, it's always Spring". Like in BST they regret leaving their youth and stepping into adulthood representing it as a dark period but in Spring Day they're just moving on through their life with a hope for better times. The lyrics talk about missing a friend and probably their Youth is the friend they miss. There's so so many theories about this masterpiece and correctly titled as "QUEEN" song because indeed Spring Day is frickity freakin QUEEN ✨✨✨
"Stay gold" is like a part 2 of spring day
You should reach to that
6:38 Whenever I watch this scene I tear up thinking that those students who were going on a trip passed away not being able to say goodbye to their parents. How hard it must have been for the parents. Mom, Dad I love you.
There are a lot of theories this but no one can't deny that this song is awesome. This has a stackfull of symbolism which is really a signature of BTS.
as a viewer we're not really aware of the intentions of the transitions, color filters but thank the heavens we have a creative like jordan to explain things on us. 😭 theories about this mv makes so much more sense to me ngl 😭
This Song Is About 2014 Ferry Sewol Accident in Seoul, korea.. Many students died in that incident and BTS also other Groups Decided to Make this song For Them .....Korea Can't never Forget that Moment.. That Suga's Rap scene, The clothes represents The Students clothes
Yessssss this is gonna be so good!! #dancetherapyforthewin!!
YASSS
OMG JORDAN
you brought a different kind of view upon this MV (the train/youth stuff), it actually made me emotional just to hear you dissect this... omg
Fun fact : this song was a gift for the ppl who died in that one big accident 4 years ago in Korea ( search it cus I don't really know the context sorry )
Sewol ferry incident
@@snehasiskoley1502 thx
@@m4sa_ welcome
Spring day is dedicated to sewol ferry tradegy. Theirs a mv explanation of every part of bts represent.
Jordan: spring day is the best BTS music video
Run and I need u:allow us to introduce ourselves
👀
@@JordanOrme oh my God you replied!!!! wait...does it mean...we should expect you reacting to them👀?
Spring day has a real super deep meaning that will forever be remembered in SOUTH KOREA.This song has a soft spot in every korean because of its inspiration that is why it's still charting in GAON CHARTS in 4 consecutive years=)
I always take this MV as a memory for the young students who passed away. Maybe it's because I'm Korean. :) But it was really good to watch another theory and interpretation! By the way this song makes so cry... literally everytime!!!!
you should check out the explaination of the mv its very heartbraking
CANNOT WAIT FOR USING THE PHRASE "MY LIFE'S BEEN A LIE" KSKSKSKWKSKAKAKAKA
This song already is emotional and makes me cry every single time. But the way you said about not walking alone, makes me cry so much more, sir.
Love this song a lot. Almost cried watching this again with you 🥺 But as always, love your energy 😂 and thanks for sharing your interpretations. As an editor, I totally feel ya on the train whooshing by while it times with the music haha. 🤣
I love that you do your research behind BTS' m/vs. Not only does it show that you are willing to learn more about them as artists but it also brings a great educational touch to your reaction. Great video!! :)
Thank you for you dance therapy :)
This definitely is the best bts MV
Btw love your reaction :) 💜
💜💜💜
I just listened to spring day 2 times including this. It feels so nostalgic that it makes me cry everytime Iisten to it.
Now that I consider myself an 'adult' i see the mv and i can face reality... i mean yeah is painful but if you have people around you that can help you with all, the things can be better.
went here because recently, the teaser celebrated it's anniversary once again. Basically, at the end, Jimin had finally accepted what happened. He mourned and he can still mourn about the 'loss' but he have finally sent them/whoever it is off. Like seasons, it just goes by. The song means 'til the spring comes again' or 'til we meet again.'
It's just so... heartbreaking 🥺😭
JORDAN WATCHING THE MV: *smiling* *getting excited*
ARYMS WATCHING:
*crying*
And this is why BTS is a class of their own. Their MVS are deep. Welcome to Bangtan Universe. 💜
HI JORDAN! "You Never Walk Alone" is the title of the album that Spring Day is part of (which is referenced above JK) :> I love all your BTS MV reacts! Keep it up!
I love how Jordan made a whole new concept of this mv
Remember that the camera will be off soon, lol then there's Ms. Ashley!!🥊💥
Thanks again for your help with the messages throughout the song.
It makes sense the way you interpret it.
Yes, JESUS surely loves us, know that you are loved!!
Akita, 🇺🇸 woman
💜💜💜
This video and song make me so emotional.
But I love how you make theories and full on narratives that are kind of completely not what the songs or videos are about. You’re really good at finding a bunch of dots but not necessarily connecting them.
The whole analysis of Jin watching others go on and age. When you think it’s because he’s the oldest, but realize it’s really because he has died and his friends are still living on 🥺😭
Actually everytime im listening to this song specially when im watching the mv im literally sobbing until now
Day 2: trying to make Jordan react to mamamoo 🙏
yes please 😩
There is absolutely a reason why this song charts in Korea all of the time even tho it was released years ago. It’s so good. So meaningful. So lovely 💜💜💜
Omg yesss curious what theories you're gonna come up with
Finallyy, I've been waiting for you to react to this masterpiece this is absolutely the queen of all bts song...
Actually JK didn't hop on the train, cause the scene shows him with the other 6 watching him on the train... So, in a theory someone said it's like a crossover between life and death... Someone else said it's life reminding you that even if you move on, what is done is done (the death will not come back to life)... So, who knows 😂
This guy is LITERALLY THE BEST!!! His reactions give me life😭😭😭❤
There’s a theory that at the last all the members died only jimin was left 🥲
This analysis made me cry like I'm fr sitting andsobbing. Thank you, bro!
Honestly I thought that Jordan was about to cry during the first few seconds of the M/V
Btw can you react to the Run M/V?
It was a such a vibe! Yeah we’ll see about that one!
Spring day is a sweetheart who we get emotional for because its just so beautiful
I hope someday Seeing Jk actor 😭💜🐰
I hear the first few seconds of this song and my eyes instantly fill up with tears. This is the best and most impactful bts song in my opinion.
I love you and your sense of art and humour soooo much that I wish you get hired as a editor in hybe lables. And also can you react to lion by g-idle and secret story of the swan by izo*ne?
So far, this song is the most meaningful for me. The tune brings serenity and it is healing but once u found out the meaning and inspiration of the song, u can't help but to cry because it's just so sad. I really can't listen to this song without crying since its debut anymore
Well, all I know is Taehyung agrees that this is the best MV 😀🧍🏻♀️
i'm a new army and I love the way you react to BTS's videos. your editor perspective makes us understand why the videos are made like that. thank you for walking us through the storyline of each videos - IT REALLY MAKES SENSE!!!!
Can't wait for more sir!!!!
