To help you a little bit, This is the BU order. I need you On stage prologue:Butterfly(The song you wanted to be React ) Run Epilogue : Young Forever Wings shorts teaser: Begin, Lie, Stigma, First love, Reflection, Mama, Awake Euporia Love yourself highligte reel Fake Love Ephipany
I would also add the Fake Love teasers, they explain the important concept of the magic shop, which is shown in the Highlight reels. The japanese version of Blood, Sweat and Tears is also very important to the story. And Film Out too, I think.
Actually, I have an order saved that I wrote years ago and just kept adding, here: 1. I Need You [+19 ver.] 2. On stage: Prologue 3. Run 4. I Need You (Japanese version) 5. Run (Japanese version) 6. Epilogue: Young Forever 7. Wings Short Films 1-7 8. Intro: Boy Meets Evil 9. Blood Sweat and Tears 10. Wings Tour Trailer 11. Blood Sweat and Tears (Japanese version) 12. Love Yourself Highlight Reels 13. Euphoria mv 14. Fake Love Teaser 1 and 2 15. Fake Love (Extended version) 16. Epiphany 17. Film out It's just a few additions.
i realized one thing while watching your reaction. Because of BTS many groups started debuting with their own storyline, BTS made that popular. Bang PD has always been a very creative director so BTS could've had the storyline since the beginning, so why wait till 2015 to start it? I think, even if not intentional, it was truly smart because it's like Bang PD/BigHit observed and talked with the members directly so they could create this story, which happened after BTS already had their own dynamic, had been living together for years, knew each other well. The BTS Universe fits them SO well, it looks SO genuine and easy to get attached to, and i think that's what other groups don't do right, it's why no other storyline in kpop made as many noise as BTS's.
yes exactly. the reason why bts universe works so well is because it's very grounded in reality first and foremost which makes it relatable and then the added fantasy element to it adds for a more complicated and interesting fictional storyline. It also works so well because each "character" they play in the universe feels like its derived from the actual members themselves and it fits so well for them as individuals. Without giving too much spoilers, for example jungkook always looking up to and needing his hyungs (begin), suga's deep love for music/piano (first love), hobi's love for his mother (MAMA), jimin's early era troubles where he felt he couldn't be himself (Lie), Namjoon's struggles with his past mistakes (Reflection), Jin always looking after the members as the oldest (awake + overall storyline) while V's stigma is still unknown to exactly what its about, I'm sure it's connected in some way since all the songs were written based on their REAL lives rather than the fictional storyline. All the members have some elements of their characters directly derived from the members themselves with fictional elements added to it. With the addition of REAL struggles that people go through in the overall storyline, it makes it all that much more compelling. While most kpop groups who tried to go the route of storylines were TOO fictional in the sense that while the story itself might be good, there are barely any elements of reality attached to it which makes it harder for it to be relatable or feel attached to the characters they are playing which is why i think the Bangtan Universe is IMO the best storyline in kpop.
@@ashonline77 I believe in Stigma, V said "I'm sorry my sister" then "brother" because irl he has left his family behind due to his career as idol and he wasn't here to take care of them so he suffered a lot from that...
@@dianealline4083 yes the saying sorry to his siblings is clear what's not clear is why he's saying sorry, your interpretation might be right. I just didn't wanna speculate since it wasn't as clear as the other ones.
That so beautifullly describes both songs and how they relate to eachother and it shows that in most things in life nothing is one sided, titally bad or good.... everytthing has it's light side and it's dark. The managing of the emotions we go through in life, dealing with the good and the bad parts of everything is what we struggle with but eventually learn to cope with as we get older. My youth was so painful because I could not tolerate the darkness I encountered so it threatened to envelop me because I didn't know how to use the good/the light to buffer the effects of the bad things/ the dark. We walk that wire all our lives it is why we must pay special attention to the beauty and love and do our best to spread light and love all around us.
Hello, according to the MV, Weebtoon of SAVE ME from the BTS universe and the theories, the 7 boys are friends, some more friends of others but in a group they are always happy because somehow they protect and help each other. So Jin, as the eldest, must separate from the group of friends to go to university or something like that, they don't see each other anymore and since then the other 6 members begin to have problems of various kinds: 1.- Jungkook is adopted but he doesn't feel happy with his new family, there is no paternal love for him so he relies on his friend Suga with whom he is closest. 2.-Suga loses his mother in a fire, that's why there is always fire, after his mother's death he becomes distant from his friends and Jungkook. 3.- Tae, for his part, lives with an alcoholic and abusive father who beat him and his sister, exhausted from this mistreatment, he defends his sister and what is seen in the video happens. Whenever he felt bad or wanted to escape from home, he would go with Nam and Nam would make him forget his sadness. 4.- Nam for his part runs away from home and has to survive alone with jobs like the gas station, something happens with which he ends up separating from Tae. 5.- Jimin's parents took him away from his friends, Jimin had depression and was admitted to a hospital. 6.- Hobi for his part suffered from Narcolepsy (falling asleep suddenly, that's why he fainted on the bridge), in the hospital he meets Jimin. 7.- When Jin returns from university or school, he realizes that his friends were not like before, he sees his friends plunge into misery and end in the most tragic way according to various theories: Tae for being imprisoned for killing to his father, Jungkook in the hospital after being beaten by bullies and being run over in the street, it is suggested that Jimin commits suicide by drowning in the bathtub, and Suga by fire, J hope developing some disorder from his past trauma , RM I think also ended up in jail. The point here is that Jin returns and within this universe he finds a way to travel in dimensions to change this tragic moment, many videos that are connected come from there.
V defends the father's sister who hit him. Hoby takes pills and suffers from a disease that causes him to fall asleep and fall when he least expects. Suga gets depressed. JK is being bullied, and Jin is the one who watches everything that happens as if it were a movie. I advise you to see the UB and complete it so that you understand. Through their songs, BTS seeks to bring comfort, company, and strength to other young people who, like them, in their youth, went through situations due to social pressure, inequality, discrimination, violence, etc.
Yoongi said their albums tell a story, so you must listen to the whole album to understand each song. House of Cards, Butterfly, all epic songs connected to the sentiments of this album, Even Suga's Intro on the album is unmissable. You were right, it focuses on the Fragility of Youth paired with the happiness and comfort friendship can bring, highlighting themes like You Never Walk Alone. Many people in youth suffer silently with sometimes a toxic love story or hardship that they have normalised, I love u, I hate u. This is where they need their friends and no matter the scars and pitfalls, keep running! There is the On Stage Prologue which is meant to be watched between I Need You and Run. It features the song Butterfly, this is one of the best BTS songs. Reflecting on Tae's emotions and experience as portrayed in the Prologue, the lyrics to Butterfly have so much raw emotion. Once one has been through the whole BU, one can only recognise BTS as one of the greatest bands to exist with their thoughtful and artistic portrayal of what it means to be human.
For i need you I heard that the lyrics were supposed to go "i need you friend" but that wouldn't rhyme so it was changed that helped me in connecting the lyrics of the song to the video in correlation to their storyline. These songs make me feel an incredible sense of nostalgia i can't explain it in words :') Thank you so much for reacting 💗
No body does body rolls like😮 Jimin, he does them from the tip of his toes,to the top of head, you can see how amazing he is in dimple, if you slow the video, you can see how gorgeous his body rolls are🕊🙏🏻💜🫶🏻
You are incredibly perceptive in all your reactions, but all the more here. You have picked up on so many things about the BU and I am happy to watch you figuring it all out. You are one of our best reactors out there. Thank you for your insights!
Mint Yoongi is probably my favorite Yoongi hair! I was like u and had no idea what was happening in both these vids….but thank god for those content creators like xceleste and bookish theory that made explanation vids for the BU coz I’d still be lost!
I would be over the moon if you do the story line....it is just SUCH good story telling!!!! The guys' acting is crazy good, and the visual story telling is insane. Gabbsi, you are so smart and pick up on stuff so quickly that I think it would be a joy to watch you go thru the story line!!! Get prepared -- it's VERY symbolic and VERY intense and deep. I saw that someone else here posted the order for the BU mv's....so, you probably saw that you missed one already, so go back and watch it if you can...it's really important not to miss any information. And just enjoy the ride -- you won't get all the pieces until very late in the game. Just one more thing -- the lyrics of the BU songs don't necessarily do the storytelling. it's MOSTLY VISUAL.The song in the credits of RUN is Butterfly -- You should def watch the credits after you hear that song....EVERY frame of these vids is relevant and important.
Aaand welcome to the Bangtan Universe aka the BU aka the storyline... 😂 It's actually a really dark, deep and extremely intricate story as you've probably already gathered by now. 😅 It includes a ton of mvs, short films, notebooks, a webtoon and even a mobile game. XCeleste has made a really good summary and that alone is about an hour but it's really worth watching because it'll give you a whole extra layer to their mvs. For a little context RM has said that it was actually supposed to be "friend" but "girl" flowed better in the song. 😉 The last song is called Butterfly and there're two versions of it, one by the vocal line only and one by the entire group. The dance practice is really beautiful. 💜
I need you made me an army. I couldn't get over how knowing who the majority of their audience is that these are the topics they chose to portray in the video. I mean damn! I learned very quickly that I need you girl isn't at all about a girl lol, they chose it over saying friend because it sounded better. The timeline isn't straight in the BU. You're right on about Jin, he's a pivot character and is kind of apart from the others. I learned that in Stigma their life is what V is talking about "I'm sorry my sister...". Their stepfather was abusive. And I was told to pay attention to the pairings. You can definitely get into the BU and have a heck of a lot of fun piecing things together but it's also completely ok to just enjoy each track for its own sake. I really hope you check out the Wings short films, there's one for each member and it's totally awesome 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
this two songs are so important. you listen to them and they feel kinda nostalgic and they really are in the sense that it was the first time bts did a sound change. not many groups just do a 180 to their themes and concepts and lyrics and sounds, but they did. and have been ever since. one of the reasons they are as amazing and well recognized as they are, not afraid of change. still, these two songs are super nostalgic. they make me feel like on the verge of something great edit: that's butterfly, at the end of run mv :)) they performed it live at the busan concert too. but you're prob wating to that on a special occasion.
It's interesting watching their older dance practice videos now, they used to kinda like agree in one style of dancing, everyone were dancing very similarly, but as time went by they've become a lot more carefree and now each one have a distinct style of dancing, which still works amazingly well together
My interpretation (which is entirely my own). I saw a story of 7 best friends who each committed suicide in different ways or lost their life. I think it's safe to say Yoongi didn't survive lighting the room on fire. JK was hit by a car. Jimin drowned himself. RM dropped a lit cigarette on a pile of money at a gas station which presumably blew up as a result. V killed a man so presumably was sentenced to death because of committing murder. J-Hope overdosed on pills. The parts of them running around and horsing around was them reuniting in heaven or their version of the afterlife and being able to be happy again. Jin's character in this story, is the higher power watching over these boys in their most miserable times and seeing to it that they find peace and connection again and are together forever in the afterlife. Jin is holding 6 lily petals. These are supposed to be the innocent members. But once he puts them down, he lights them on fire, they start to burn, or better said, they lose their innocence. Very metaphorical MV. LOVE IT!
I can‘t stop thinking about the prerecorded clips in the 2019 mma Performance. The happy smile on jks Face at the end, yoongis shadow in flames, taes sad tiny smile… this storyline is a masterpiece and adding so much
💜🔮The two songs are really charming even though they are old. The dance, the song, the story of the video, and the connection of the two songs are really very cool. 🦋🦋🦋
Coming back (sorry for multiple comments) - you're already on the right track on a lot of things (pairings, the flower, Tae in the water, "Jin is the key"... They're all great actors in this, but Jin and Tae are OUTSTANDING actors. "Butterfly" is the song that was running over the credits, and it's such a gorgeous song. Apart from the absolute beauty of the song itself, think about the butterfly effect.
I thought you did an amazing job of catching the essence of the story. Jin is central, they are happier together, bad when they are apart. I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it for you. You need to see the On stage Prologue MV. The song in it is Butterfly which is the snippet playing at the end omthatcyou said you wanted to react to. The live performance of butterfly is beautiful, choreography so, so good.
Martha Hernández explain everything to you....please check !

omg finallyyyyy now you need to react to on stage prologue, wings short teasers, love yourself highlight reels, euphoria as a continuation of the bts universe storyline
Hi 🥰 I just subscribed on your channel yesterday because I saw your reaction vid on Set me free pt2 and I love it.. I binge watch your videos of bts the whole night and I'm about to stop to sleep and you drop this 🤦 Anyway thank you so much for reacting to bts , I just love hearing people complimenting BTS, it makes me happy that they're being loved.
Yoongi's and Jimin's hair combination has a whole fandom of its own lol and btw, the BU can be gay if you want to because from day 1 i still can't see Jungkook's and Yoongi's story as anything else - and i love it
I need you is definitely one of my top favorite BTS' MVs. It's just SO good and Run is really really good too and has a lot of cool shots as well the BU can be confusing af but it's amazing once you understand everything
19:49 kind of… it’s more a continuation from “on stage prologue” mv , but it’s nothing set in stone with the storyline and so it’s kinda impossible to miss things really… but also impossible to catch everything… if that makes sense. Like there’s SO much intricate story building going their entire discography you can find Easter eggs… it’s half the fun lol but the over all message isn’t hard to discover… or understand…. I watched it all and then watched one of the explanation videos for the storyline by xceleste and then went back and watch again… you notice so many more details they used which are crazy… but the message isn’t hidden from us. It’s more fun to explore all the creativity and story they built here .. just shows that they’ve always just broke the mold and did their own thing… and that natural evolution of their art is enticing.
Hola mi niña,esté universo o historia lo sacaron del webtoon "Save me" así que no te mortifiques. Ellos hicieron un documental cuando hicieron el álbum BE sobre lo que les costó grabar esas escenas, pero por parte también tienes razón,se basan en traumas que pasa la juventud Saludos mi niña desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❤️💜🥰 borahe, saranhgne 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Yes, love I Need U. It's a fav. THE MV IS PART OF THEIR HIDDEN BU STORYLINE IN SOME OF THEIR SONGS. So it's a lot. But they won their 1st award after this song. This story is deep complex and heartbreaking. This MV depicts suicide, overdose, and the hardships of life. It shows that when they are together they are happy and have no worries. But each one is hiding baggage and are suffering alone. This song resonated with fans and this story is why BTS are the best. It came out in 2015. Suga was the one on the bed and burned the room. V killed his dad who was hurting his sis. So we got physical abuse. JK did not fight back because he wanted the pain. They were beating up JK because he bumped into them. He is in pain because he lost his friend. Suga killed himself in the fire. Jimin is depressed and tried to kill himself by drowning in the tub. Hobi overdosed. RM is upset because he lost his friends and is alone. Jin is really important in the story and not spoiling... =0p So BTS never sings about girls. Not really. In this case girl means friend. Oh yes JK did get hit by a car. Love the song its a banger. But oh boy is the MV complex and deep. This song got them more notice in US and Korea. This was huge! They really let the cat out of the bag with this story. Glad u liked the song. =0] Appreciate u watching the dance practice too. Love them. On Stage: Prologue is the MV between the 1st and 3rd song. =0) Hugs. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 ᴊɪɴɪᴍɪɴʀᴏʟʟꜱ said on 11/27/21; I'm saying this again so that you don't forget the order of the BU universe!! . One of the first things fans learn about BTS is they don't mess around when it comes to their music videos. Each of the group's visuals is stunning, and they never fail to leave the viewer thinking about its possible meaning behind it. As new fans start to piece together BTS' music videos, they begin to realize that many of them actually connect. The overarching storyline is known as the Bangtan Universe(BU), and it exists not just in BTS' visuals, but in their webtoons and short stories as well. Since it can get pretty complicated, here's every BTS video that's in the Bangtan Universe. . To summarize, the BU involves a fictional storyline that has all the BTS members playing their own character. These characters have their own backstory, but they all connect in some way. If you see certain scenes or symbols repeating in BTS' music videos, that's because fans concluded the story involves some very shocking stuff that I ain't spoiling, you have to figure the story out yourself😂. It can be difficult trying to differentiate which videos are part of the BU, but according to fans, those that belong to this world will have the words "BU content certified by Big Hit Entertainment" at the bottom of the video's description. However, just because some videos don't have it, doesn't mean they're not connected. According to fans, here's every BTS video that's in the BU. THE BU UNIVERSE VIDEOS IN ORDER THAT YOU HAVE TO REACT TO- . 1. "I Need U" MV (original version) 2. HYYH On Stage: Prologue 3. "Run" MV 4. "I Need U" MV (Japanese version) [its not really necessary to watch this but if you wanna get more details i guess you can watch it.] 5. "Run" MV (Japanese version) [this is also not necessary unless u want more details] 6. Epilogue: Young Forever 7. Wings short films {1.Begin, 2.Lie, 3.Stigma, 4.First Love, 5.Reflection, 6.Mama, 7.Awake} 8. "Blood Sweat &Tears" MV 9. "Blood Swear &Tears" MV (Japanese version) [its necessary this time.] 10. Love Yourself Highlight Reels 11. Euphoria: Theme Of Love Yourself Wonder 12. "Fake Love" teasers 13. "Fake Love" MV (Extended version) 14. Jin's "Epiphany" 15. "Film out" MV [BTS' "Film Out" doesn't have anything about the BU listed in its video description, but ARMYs are convinced it's still part of the group's fictional world. Since it makes many references toward their "Fake Love" MV, fans think "Film Out" takes place in an alternate universe, which could explain its connection to the rest of BTS' visuals without being directly involved in the BU] After watching all of these and making your own theories you must wanna know the whole real story right? Then you should watch the whole storyline summary + explained by xCeleste. [Watch the recent one] link- ruclips.net/video/2-DEu3ZJtEU/видео.html ruclips.net/p/PLYTwqF5VD__7CcujY_uVMUEpdoOLPJ9Cb Just in case you want to react to the BTS storyline, the next MV after I Need U is Prologue. You will need to watch this version, as it has English subtitles and the cut-out ending scene. ruclips.net/video/cOj4HhJfaXY/видео.html Here are all the MV's for the story line: I Need You (Original version) On stage: Prologue Run Young Forever Wings short films (7 films) Blood Sweat and Tears Highlight Reel (13-minute version) Euphoria Fake Love teaser 1 Fake Love (extend version) Epiphany BTS Universe Story official trailer Also, I suggest you check out xCeleste's storyline explanations after you finish the story line. That is so helpful. I don't want to spoil if I say more. Fighting! P.S. Film Out could be part of BU but we never got a confirmation. You can re-watch it after you finish these vids. Here is a link to the BU content just scroll down to see the list bts.fandom.com/wiki/BTS_Universe. You should check out the roadmap that Landon Mark (on youtube) did. He has a webpage with everything in order because he did the same thing. It's a pretty good resource and ARMYs helped him set it up. You can find it here: www.landonmark.net/roadmap Saladita12 said on 8/23/22 When RM wrote the lyrics he wrote "I need u friend", but if you sing it like that it doesn't sound good, so he changed it to "I need u girl", but the real meaning is that I need u friend, so it's a breakup song and at the same time it fits into the story they're doing. So there's a thing called BTS Universe. It's a storyline. You need to watch all the MV's in order to understand it and "I NEED U" is the first part of the storyline. It's almost like a puzzle but lemme tell you it will blow your mind. The storyline itself is very deep and YES it includes Fake Love! RM - works in a gas station, the clients treat him like shit (throwing money on the ground instead of giving it to him, etc) and imagery of him smoking. Jin - in a room alone, the flower petals start burning, he is a very important character in the storyline. (All the MVs under the same storyline can be found by looking at the description of the videos, they are marked with "BU content certified by Big Hit Entertainment"). Suga - in a motel, missing someone (scene in the bed), buys gasoline and burns the room with himself inside (suicide). J-Hope - is sick and needs meds (apparently suffers from narcolepsy, he actually has munchausen’s syndrome), but abuses the drugs and passes out in the sidewalk of a road from an overdose Jimin - in the bathtub burning a photo, he seems in distress and scared, tries to drown himself V - catches his dad (the dad is the alcoholic one, not V) abusing his sister, in anger and adrenaline attacks his dad and accidentally kills him Jungkook - gets into street fights, seems to not care about anything (depression), ends up being hit by a car at the end.
The song at the end is "Butterfly" its a masterpiece probably my fav song of BTS. Please do react to this song's both versions and dance practice as well I'm sure you will love it😭💜
Oh pleeease you neeed to get into the BU! I have not wanted this that much from a reactor for a while, but I know you would do it justice, you’re already so good at picking things up and analyzing stuff! You understand symbolism, you notice details and parallels… it would be awesome
The video tells us about the problems teenagers can have in their life. Each of them has his own problem in childhood. And there's the solution to these problems at the end of the video.
IN LESS THAN FEW HOURS TIL WE GET AGUST D COMEBACK!!! *Spread the word: SUGA as AgustD’s pre-release track “People Part 2” Ft. IU is dropping on Friday, April 7th. His official solo debut album 'D- DAY' is dropping on April 21st with his documentary. Also he's now officially the global ambassador for the NBA🏀🔥*
Rise of Bangtan does not get blocked on youtube. I've seen others reacts to it without having to cut or blur the video. If you deem it fit could you upload Rise of Bangtan episodes on RUclips too? I really want to watch your reactions to them and would be really grateful.
Your reactions make my day and make me so happy, you represent many of us who love the OT7 and appreciate their talent. Thank you for sharing with us. 💜
Yes please go back and watch “on stage prologue” it’s more story than lyrics and it’s beautiful and has one of my favorite scenes they ever shot … it’s also healing and beautiful to see them in most of it…. It’s truly a gorgeously shot mv and something special but yeh it was supposed to be before run … but you will notice more things but don’t worry about missing things with the storyline… you are just fine The way this mv starts is a continuation of the “on stage prologue” mv
Are you going to watch the prologue? The video actually from what I understand goes in between “I need u” and “run” bc that “on stage prologue” is a lot more of the storyline and the song doesn’t have a lot of lyrics.. but it’s beautiful the way it’s shot.. you have to see it !!
If you understand these mv's you have get into their story line and trust me it's not everyone's cup of tea.. but I'll recommend you to look into it I think you'll understand the story
You are right, JK is the youngest in the video and he watches others who suffer from different problems, he wants to help and he is the key here. He'll bring the solution with water that distinguishes fire and washes away all the problems. Jin here wants to grow up the flower, like build a normal life but he can't due to the problems of youth.
jin got the looping situation, he should help another member to solved from their problems. Or Jin is time traveller. there are many theories from their storyline
There is fan theory that blew mu mind about 6 months ago that said jimin created 6 friends while he was locked up.. like he made up all of them expect Jin is real and trying to convince Jimin he is sane
Super impressed with your insights... although I am only familiar with the "BU" through XCelete"s explaination video, your observations add interesting "OH!!" moments.
You don't understand how hard I'm trying not to tell you what everything means lmao. I know you'll wanna come up with your own theories just like we did, but if you have any specific questions for clarity I'll be happy to explain it without spoiling the story. I do wanna mention that there's a book. It has 2 volumes if I remember correctly, I only own vol 1. The albums starting with the Love Yourself series all have small booklets with notes written in each member's pov about the story, but they're not chronological and it's really fun to order them properly and compare with the book. Unfortunately, the booklets are only in Korean. But yes, that's abuse. It's indeed his father and the girl is his sister, he was protecting her. Make sure to watch everything else, someone already posted a list in the comments. Not all of them are music videos and some of them are for their Japanese songs, but please do watch everything. It won't help you understand everything, but it'll help. I don't even understand everything yet after reading the book. Also, Run is technically before I Need U chronologically, basically when they're having fun together are the happy memories. It's pretty hard to tell if you don't know this cause you can't really tell which is the flashback and which is the present. And yes, they're wild. They're teens/young adults having fun and annoying everyone around them. It's quite funny. The song at the end is Butterfly, watch the Prologue Mix. But it's not a MV so if you wanna listen to the actual song watch a live performance, the choreo is beautiful. Oh, if you remember the MMA performance, Jungkook's water extinguished Yoongi's fire. That's basically what they're referencing there, and also why I said so many of their live performances reference the BU storyline.
To help you a little bit,
This is the BU order.
I need you

@@maggie4927 It sure feels like it, but yeah, it's not.
You forgot Film out the song is in the storyline to
i realized one thing while watching your reaction. Because of BTS many groups started debuting with their own storyline, BTS made that popular. Bang PD has always been a very creative director so BTS could've had the storyline since the beginning, so why wait till 2015 to start it? I think, even if not intentional, it was truly smart because it's like Bang PD/BigHit observed and talked with the members directly so they could create this story, which happened after BTS already had their own dynamic, had been living together for years, knew each other well. The BTS Universe fits them SO well, it looks SO genuine and easy to get attached to, and i think that's what other groups don't do right, it's why no other storyline in kpop made as many noise as BTS's.
yes exactly. the reason why bts universe works so well is because it's very grounded in reality first and foremost which makes it relatable and then the added fantasy element to it adds for a more complicated and interesting fictional storyline. It also works so well because each "character" they play in the universe feels like its derived from the actual members themselves and it fits so well for them as individuals. Without giving too much spoilers, for example jungkook always looking up to and needing his hyungs (begin), suga's deep love for music/piano (first love), hobi's love for his mother (MAMA), jimin's early era troubles where he felt he couldn't be himself (Lie), Namjoon's struggles with his past mistakes (Reflection), Jin always looking after the members as the oldest (awake + overall storyline) while V's stigma is still unknown to exactly what its about, I'm sure it's connected in some way since all the songs were written based on their REAL lives rather than the fictional storyline. All the members have some elements of their characters directly derived from the members themselves with fictional elements added to it. With the addition of REAL struggles that people go through in the overall storyline, it makes it all that much more compelling. While most kpop groups who tried to go the route of storylines were TOO fictional in the sense that while the story itself might be good, there are barely any elements of reality attached to it which makes it harder for it to be relatable or feel attached to the characters they are playing which is why i think the Bangtan Universe is IMO the best storyline in kpop.
@@ashonline77 I believe in Stigma, V said "I'm sorry my sister" then "brother" because irl he has left his family behind due to his career as idol and he wasn't here to take care of them so he suffered a lot from that...
@@dianealline4083 yes the saying sorry to his siblings is clear what's not clear is why he's saying sorry, your interpretation might be right. I just didn't wanna speculate since it wasn't as clear as the other ones.
as jk mentioned during thr making of this album, i need u is the happiness in sadness nd run is the sadness in happiness
That so beautifullly describes both songs and how they relate to eachother and it shows that in most things in life nothing is one sided, titally bad or good.... everytthing has it's light side and it's dark.
The managing of the emotions we go through in life, dealing with the good and the bad parts of everything is what we struggle with but eventually learn to cope with as we get older.
My youth was so painful because I could not tolerate the darkness I encountered so it threatened to envelop me because I didn't know how to use the good/the light to buffer the effects of the bad things/ the dark. We walk that wire all our lives it is why we must pay special attention to the beauty and love and do our best to spread light and love all around us.
Hello, according to the MV, Weebtoon of SAVE ME from the BTS universe and the theories, the 7 boys are friends, some more friends of others but in a group they are always happy because somehow they protect and help each other.
So Jin, as the eldest, must separate from the group of friends to go to university or something like that, they don't see each other anymore and since then the other 6 members begin to have problems of various kinds:
1.- Jungkook is adopted but he doesn't feel happy with his new family, there is no paternal love for him so he relies on his friend Suga with whom he is closest.
2.-Suga loses his mother in a fire, that's why there is always fire, after his mother's death he becomes distant from his friends and Jungkook.
3.- Tae, for his part, lives with an alcoholic and abusive father who beat him and his sister, exhausted from this mistreatment, he defends his sister and what is seen in the video happens. Whenever he felt bad or wanted to escape from home, he would go with Nam and Nam would make him forget his sadness.
4.- Nam for his part runs away from home and has to survive alone with jobs like the gas station, something happens with which he ends up separating from Tae.
5.- Jimin's parents took him away from his friends, Jimin had depression and was admitted to a hospital.
6.- Hobi for his part suffered from Narcolepsy (falling asleep suddenly, that's why he fainted on the bridge), in the hospital he meets Jimin.
7.- When Jin returns from university or school, he realizes that his friends were not like before, he sees his friends plunge into misery and end in the most tragic way according to various theories: Tae for being imprisoned for killing to his father, Jungkook in the hospital after being beaten by bullies and being run over in the street, it is suggested that Jimin commits suicide by drowning in the bathtub, and Suga by fire, J hope developing some disorder from his past trauma , RM I think also ended up in jail.
The point here is that Jin returns and within this universe he finds a way to travel in dimensions to change this tragic moment, many videos that are connected come from there.
Exatamente...mito bem explicado! muito obrigada Army por postar esse esclarecimento para ela. Abraços
Please give this comment more likes so that she notices it. It explains everything well.
V defends the father's sister who hit him.
Hoby takes pills and suffers from a disease that causes him to fall asleep and fall when he least expects.
Suga gets depressed.
JK is being bullied, and Jin is the one who watches everything that happens as if it were a movie.
I advise you to see the UB and complete it so that you understand.
Through their songs, BTS seeks to bring comfort, company, and strength to other young people who, like them, in their youth, went through situations due to social pressure, inequality, discrimination, violence, etc.
Yoongi said their albums tell a story, so you must listen to the whole album to understand each song. House of Cards, Butterfly, all epic songs connected to the sentiments of this album, Even Suga's Intro on the album is unmissable. You were right, it focuses on the Fragility of Youth paired with the happiness and comfort friendship can bring, highlighting themes like You Never Walk Alone. Many people in youth suffer silently with sometimes a toxic love story or hardship that they have normalised, I love u, I hate u. This is where they need their friends and no matter the scars and pitfalls, keep running! There is the On Stage Prologue which is meant to be watched between I Need You and Run. It features the song Butterfly, this is one of the best BTS songs. Reflecting on Tae's emotions and experience as portrayed in the Prologue, the lyrics to Butterfly have so much raw emotion. Once one has been through the whole BU, one can only recognise BTS as one of the greatest bands to exist with their thoughtful and artistic portrayal of what it means to be human.
the song after RUN is called butterfly. It has one of the prettiest dances
Techincally its supposed to have come before run in the BU tho (the on stage prolouge that is) so I hope she doubles back at some point
For i need you I heard that the lyrics were supposed to go "i need you friend" but that wouldn't rhyme so it was changed that helped me in connecting the lyrics of the song to the video in correlation to their storyline.
These songs make me feel an incredible sense of nostalgia i can't explain it in words :')
Thank you so much for reacting 💗
yep it is supposed to be friend.
I swear hyyh will leave you stunned and you're right jin is the center of everything
No body does body rolls like😮 Jimin, he does them from the tip of his toes,to the top of head, you can see how amazing he is in dimple, if you slow the video, you can see how gorgeous his body rolls are🕊🙏🏻💜🫶🏻
You are incredibly perceptive in all your reactions, but all the more here. You have picked up on so many things about the BU and I am happy to watch you figuring it all out. You are one of our best reactors out there. Thank you for your insights!
I agree!
Mint Yoongi is probably my favorite Yoongi hair! I was like u and had no idea what was happening in both these vids….but thank god for those content creators like xceleste and bookish theory that made explanation vids for the BU coz I’d still be lost!
I would be over the moon if you do the story line....it is just SUCH good story telling!!!! The guys' acting is crazy good, and the visual story telling is insane. Gabbsi, you are so smart and pick up on stuff so quickly that I think it would be a joy to watch you go thru the story line!!! Get prepared -- it's VERY symbolic and VERY intense and deep. I saw that someone else here posted the order for the BU mv's....so, you probably saw that you missed one already, so go back and watch it if you can...it's really important not to miss any information. And just enjoy the ride -- you won't get all the pieces until very late in the game. Just one more thing -- the lyrics of the BU songs don't necessarily do the storytelling. it's MOSTLY VISUAL.The song in the credits of RUN is Butterfly -- You should def watch the credits after you hear that song....EVERY frame of these vids is relevant and important.
Aaand welcome to the Bangtan Universe aka the BU aka the storyline... 😂 It's actually a really dark, deep and extremely intricate story as you've probably already gathered by now. 😅
It includes a ton of mvs, short films, notebooks, a webtoon and even a mobile game. XCeleste has made a really good summary and that alone is about an hour but it's really worth watching because it'll give you a whole extra layer to their mvs.
For a little context RM has said that it was actually supposed to be "friend" but "girl" flowed better in the song. 😉 The last song is called Butterfly and there're two versions of it, one by the vocal line only and one by the entire group. The dance practice is really beautiful. 💜
The name of the last song you wanted to listen is BUTTERFLY
I need you made me an army. I couldn't get over how knowing who the majority of their audience is that these are the topics they chose to portray in the video. I mean damn! I learned very quickly that I need you girl isn't at all about a girl lol, they chose it over saying friend because it sounded better. The timeline isn't straight in the BU. You're right on about Jin, he's a pivot character and is kind of apart from the others. I learned that in Stigma their life is what V is talking about "I'm sorry my sister...". Their stepfather was abusive. And I was told to pay attention to the pairings.
You can definitely get into the BU and have a heck of a lot of fun piecing things together but it's also completely ok to just enjoy each track for its own sake.
I really hope you check out the Wings short films, there's one for each member and it's totally awesome 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The song that plays at the end of "Run" is BUTTERFLY
And at the end of the choreography, they made a butterfly.
Youre so good at deciphering things that most reactors dont get straight away, its really great watching your reviews x
BTS have their story line and thier mv's have deep messages.
this two songs are so important. you listen to them and they feel kinda nostalgic and they really are in the sense that it was the first time bts did a sound change. not many groups just do a 180 to their themes and concepts and lyrics and sounds, but they did. and have been ever since. one of the reasons they are as amazing and well recognized as they are, not afraid of change. still, these two songs are super nostalgic. they make me feel like on the verge of something great
edit: that's butterfly, at the end of run mv :)) they performed it live at the busan concert too. but you're prob wating to that on a special occasion.
jin is the observer in the whole series
these two hits different fr
And if you thought you had fallen into a rabbit hole already…. Welcome to the BU… 💜💜💜
It's interesting watching their older dance practice videos now, they used to kinda like agree in one style of dancing, everyone were dancing very similarly, but as time went by they've become a lot more carefree and now each one have a distinct style of dancing, which still works amazingly well together
Me encantan tus reacciones por favor reacciona al prólogo .... Es una parte muy importante del BU
everything is in the BU (Bangtan Universe)..i tell you, YOU'LL GO NUTS! but SO SO SO worth it! DIVE IN!
Even when you watch after knowing whole bu it's kind of fresh and surprisng and look whole new to deduct
I'd love an "Otsukare" reaction!
It would be really funny and energetic
My interpretation (which is entirely my own). I saw a story of 7 best friends who each committed suicide in different ways or lost their life.
I think it's safe to say Yoongi didn't survive lighting the room on fire. JK was hit by a car. Jimin drowned himself. RM dropped a lit cigarette on a pile of money at a gas station which presumably blew up as a result. V killed a man so presumably was sentenced to death because of committing murder. J-Hope overdosed on pills.
The parts of them running around and horsing around was them reuniting in heaven or their version of the afterlife and being able to be happy again.
Jin's character in this story, is the higher power watching over these boys in their most miserable times and seeing to it that they find peace and connection again and are together forever in the afterlife. Jin is holding 6 lily petals. These are supposed to be the innocent members. But once he puts them down, he lights them on fire, they start to burn, or better said, they lose their innocence. Very metaphorical MV. LOVE IT!
The BU is just mind blowing 🤯
Since everyone already explained, I just wanna say YES THIS IS MY FAVORITE YOONGI'S HAIR COLOR 💜💜💜 Mint Yoongi is truly the best 🥹💜
I can‘t stop thinking about the prerecorded clips in the 2019 mma Performance. The happy smile on jks Face at the end, yoongis shadow in flames, taes sad tiny smile… this storyline is a masterpiece and adding so much
Choreo at the end of RUN is a choreo in the "Butterfly" song
No matter storyline or not .. always happiest together
oh my god she fell into the trap of BTS UNIVERSE 😐 there are so many details to pay attention to, best time❤
It’s part of the storyline
I know everyone is talking about storyline here but I have to say mint hair colour yoongi is ICONIC and even orange jimin ;)
If I recall correctly, the girl being beat is the daughter of the man. And Tae takes the matter into his own hands.
but for bu u missed beautiful moment in life prologue nd butterfly
The song at the end of RUN is called Butterfly
There are 2 versions you can listen to 1is has all of them on it the 2md is just the vocal line
💜🔮The two songs are really charming even though they are old. The dance, the song, the story of the video, and the connection of the two songs are really very cool. 🦋🦋🦋
I Need U still gives me chills hear it and watch this MV
Coming back (sorry for multiple comments) - you're already on the right track on a lot of things (pairings, the flower, Tae in the water, "Jin is the key"... They're all great actors in this, but Jin and Tae are OUTSTANDING actors. "Butterfly" is the song that was running over the credits, and it's such a gorgeous song. Apart from the absolute beauty of the song itself, think about the butterfly effect.
I thought you did an amazing job of catching the essence of the story. Jin is central, they are happier together, bad when they are apart. I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it for you. You need to see the On stage Prologue MV. The song in it is Butterfly which is the snippet playing at the end omthatcyou said you wanted to react to. The live performance of butterfly is beautiful, choreography so, so good.
La canción del final es ""Butterfly"
YEP, THATS THE BU, FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN´T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BU, YOU GOT SOME STUFF SO IN POINT
The song is called butterfly...you will love it too.
The song in the end was butterfly you can react to bts on stage:prologue with it .the prologue starts with ending of i need you
It's I Need u, Prologue, Run,Young Forever, Epilogue..the BU storyline
Martha Hernández explain everything to you....please check !

omg finallyyyyy now you need to react to on stage prologue, wings short teasers, love yourself highlight reels, euphoria as a continuation of the bts universe storyline
Hi 🥰 I just subscribed on your channel yesterday because I saw your reaction vid on Set me free pt2 and I love it.. I binge watch your videos of bts the whole night and I'm about to stop to sleep and you drop this 🤦
Anyway thank you so much for reacting to bts , I just love hearing people complimenting BTS, it makes me happy that they're being loved.
Yoongi's and Jimin's hair combination has a whole fandom of its own lol and btw, the BU can be gay if you want to because from day 1 i still can't see Jungkook's and Yoongi's story as anything else - and i love it
I need you is definitely one of my top favorite BTS' MVs. It's just SO good and Run is really really good too and has a lot of cool shots as well
the BU can be confusing af but it's amazing once you understand everything
I need you 뮤직비디오는 충격 그 자체였죠. shooting sketch 영상도 재밌어요. BTS의 연기를 보는 것은 또다른 재미와 기쁨입니다. Butterfly는 제가 제일 좋아하는 노래에요. 다음번에 리액션 부탁드립니다.💜
Hello!
You must see all the discography that has to do with the BTS Universe to understand these videos.
You see hard things Everything has meaning.
19:49 kind of… it’s more a continuation from “on stage prologue” mv , but it’s nothing set in stone with the storyline and so it’s kinda impossible to miss things really… but also impossible to catch everything… if that makes sense. Like there’s SO much intricate story building going their entire discography you can find Easter eggs… it’s half the fun lol but the over all message isn’t hard to discover… or understand…. I watched it all and then watched one of the explanation videos for the storyline by xceleste and then went back and watch again… you notice so many more details they used which are crazy… but the message isn’t hidden from us. It’s more fun to explore all the creativity and story they built here .. just shows that they’ve always just broke the mold and did their own thing… and that natural evolution of their art is enticing.
Hola mi niña,esté universo o historia lo sacaron del webtoon "Save me" así que no te mortifiques.
Ellos hicieron un documental cuando hicieron el álbum BE sobre lo que les costó grabar esas escenas, pero por parte también tienes razón,se basan en traumas que pasa la juventud
Saludos mi niña desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❤️💜🥰 borahe, saranhgne 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Yes, love I Need U. It's a fav. THE MV IS PART OF THEIR HIDDEN BU STORYLINE IN SOME OF THEIR SONGS. So it's a lot. But they won their 1st award after this song. This story is deep complex and heartbreaking. This MV depicts suicide, overdose, and the hardships of life. It shows that when they are together they are happy and have no worries. But each one is hiding baggage and are suffering alone. This song resonated with fans and this story is why BTS are the best. It came out in 2015. Suga was the one on the bed and burned the room. V killed his dad who was hurting his sis. So we got physical abuse. JK did not fight back because he wanted the pain. They were beating up JK because he bumped into them. He is in pain because he lost his friend. Suga killed himself in the fire. Jimin is depressed and tried to kill himself by drowning in the tub. Hobi overdosed. RM is upset because he lost his friends and is alone. Jin is really important in the story and not spoiling... =0p So BTS never sings about girls. Not really. In this case girl means friend. Oh yes JK did get hit by a car. Love the song its a banger. But oh boy is the MV complex and deep. This song got them more notice in US and Korea. This was huge! They really let the cat out of the bag with this story. Glad u liked the song. =0] Appreciate u watching the dance practice too. Love them. On Stage: Prologue is the MV between the 1st and 3rd song. =0) Hugs. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜
ᴊɪɴɪᴍɪɴʀᴏʟʟꜱ said on 11/27/21;
I'm saying this again so that you don't forget the order of the BU universe!!
.
One of the first things fans learn about BTS is they don't mess around when it comes to their music videos. Each of the group's visuals is stunning, and they never fail to leave the viewer thinking about its possible meaning behind it. As new fans start to piece together BTS' music videos, they begin to realize that many of them actually connect. The overarching storyline is known as the Bangtan Universe(BU), and it exists not just in BTS' visuals, but in their webtoons and short stories as well. Since it can get pretty complicated, here's every BTS video that's in the Bangtan Universe.
.
To summarize, the BU involves a fictional storyline that has all the BTS members playing their own character. These characters have their own backstory, but they all connect in some way. If you see certain scenes or symbols repeating in BTS' music videos, that's because fans concluded the story involves some very shocking stuff that I ain't spoiling, you have to figure the story out yourself😂.
It can be difficult trying to differentiate which videos are part of the BU, but according to fans, those that belong to this world will have the words "BU content certified by Big Hit Entertainment" at the bottom of the video's description. However, just because some videos don't have it, doesn't mean they're not connected. According to fans, here's every BTS video that's in the BU. THE BU UNIVERSE VIDEOS IN ORDER THAT YOU HAVE TO REACT TO-
.
1. "I Need U" MV (original version)
2. HYYH On Stage: Prologue
3. "Run" MV
4. "I Need U" MV (Japanese version) [its not really necessary to watch this but if you wanna get more details i guess you can watch it.]
5. "Run" MV (Japanese version) [this is also not necessary unless u want more details]
6. Epilogue: Young Forever
7. Wings short films {1.Begin, 2.Lie, 3.Stigma, 4.First Love, 5.Reflection, 6.Mama, 7.Awake}
8. "Blood Sweat &Tears" MV
9. "Blood Swear &Tears" MV (Japanese version) [its necessary this time.]
10. Love Yourself Highlight Reels
11. Euphoria: Theme Of Love Yourself Wonder
12. "Fake Love" teasers
13. "Fake Love" MV (Extended version)
14. Jin's "Epiphany"
15. "Film out" MV [BTS' "Film Out" doesn't have anything about the BU listed in its video description, but ARMYs are convinced it's still part of the group's fictional world. Since it makes many references toward their "Fake Love" MV, fans think "Film Out" takes place in an alternate universe, which could explain its connection to the rest of BTS' visuals without being directly involved in the BU]
After watching all of these and making your own theories you must wanna know the whole real story right? Then you should watch the whole storyline summary + explained by xCeleste. [Watch the recent one] link- ruclips.net/video/2-DEu3ZJtEU/видео.html
ruclips.net/p/PLYTwqF5VD__7CcujY_uVMUEpdoOLPJ9Cb
Just in case you want to react to the BTS storyline, the next MV after I Need U is Prologue. You will need to watch this version, as it has English subtitles and the cut-out ending scene.
ruclips.net/video/cOj4HhJfaXY/видео.html
Here are all the MV's for the story line:
I Need You (Original version)
On stage: Prologue
Run
Young Forever
Wings short films (7 films)
Blood Sweat and Tears
Highlight Reel (13-minute version)
Euphoria
Fake Love teaser 1
Fake Love (extend version)
Epiphany
BTS Universe Story official trailer
Also, I suggest you check out xCeleste's storyline explanations after you finish the story line. That is so helpful. I don't want to spoil if I say more. Fighting!
P.S. Film Out could be part of BU but we never got a confirmation. You can re-watch it after you finish these vids.
Here is a link to the BU content just scroll down to see the list bts.fandom.com/wiki/BTS_Universe.
You should check out the roadmap that Landon Mark (on youtube) did. He has a webpage with everything in order because he did the same thing. It's a pretty good resource and ARMYs helped him set it up. You can find it here: www.landonmark.net/roadmap
Saladita12 said on 8/23/22
When RM wrote the lyrics he wrote "I need u friend", but if you sing it like that it doesn't sound good, so he changed it to "I need u girl", but the real meaning is that I need u friend, so it's a breakup song and at the same time it fits into the story they're doing. So there's a thing called BTS Universe. It's a storyline. You need to watch all the MV's in order to understand it and "I NEED U" is the first part of the storyline. It's almost like a puzzle but lemme tell you it will blow your mind. The storyline itself is very deep and YES it includes Fake Love!
RM - works in a gas station, the clients treat him like shit (throwing money on the ground instead of giving it to him, etc) and imagery of him smoking.
Jin - in a room alone, the flower petals start burning, he is a very important character in the storyline. (All the MVs under the same storyline can be found by looking at the description of the videos, they are marked with "BU content certified by Big Hit Entertainment").
Suga - in a motel, missing someone (scene in the bed), buys gasoline and burns the room with himself inside (suicide).
J-Hope - is sick and needs meds (apparently suffers from narcolepsy, he actually has munchausen’s syndrome), but abuses the drugs and passes out in the sidewalk of a road from an overdose
Jimin - in the bathtub burning a photo, he seems in distress and scared, tries to drown himself
V - catches his dad (the dad is the alcoholic one, not V) abusing his sister, in anger and adrenaline attacks his dad and accidentally kills him
Jungkook - gets into street fights, seems to not care about anything (depression), ends up being hit by a car at the end.
WHEW, too much at once.....I need a printer to print this ot, lol.
You did a great job in explaining it:)
@@KathyHussey063 sorry not sorry =0p
@@ashokpatel3429 Aww, ty so much!
welcome to the rabbit hole, Bangtan Universe. the flowers is Smeraldo.
All of our Bangtannie is pretty much a good actor 😂
The song at the end is "Butterfly" its a masterpiece probably my fav song of BTS. Please do react to this song's both versions and dance practice as well I'm sure you will love it😭💜
The next song is called Butterfly 😊💜💜
This is a part of the BU
(The prologue: butterfly) comes between I need you and Run
The anding song is butterfly
Oh pleeease you neeed to get into the BU! I have not wanted this that much from a reactor for a while, but I know you would do it justice, you’re already so good at picking things up and analyzing stuff! You understand symbolism, you notice details and parallels… it would be awesome
Highlight reels is a must watch❤
yes u have to watch that next...
You are very perceptive. You analyze the two MV so well. Good deductions.
The video tells us about the problems teenagers can have in their life. Each of them has his own problem in childhood. And there's the solution to these problems at the end of the video.
"Jungkook don't smile it's even more creepy"
I splurted out my coffee lol 😆😆🤣🤣 Your reactions are part of my daily routine now 🤣
The ending song is "Butterfly"
Fake love, Film out, heartbeat and etc, I think continue their story line
This makes me want to read the notes again
Jin is indeed the key to BU
IN LESS THAN FEW HOURS TIL WE GET AGUST D COMEBACK!!!
*Spread the word: SUGA as AgustD’s pre-release track “People Part 2” Ft. IU is dropping on Friday, April 7th. His official solo debut album 'D- DAY' is dropping on April 21st with his documentary. Also he's now officially the global ambassador for the NBA🏀🔥*
Rise of Bangtan does not get blocked on youtube. I've seen others reacts to it without having to cut or blur the video. If you deem it fit could you upload Rise of Bangtan episodes on RUclips too? I really want to watch your reactions to them and would be really grateful.
I love how you react with their songs and videos..
Your reactions make my day and make me so happy, you represent many of us who love the OT7 and appreciate their talent. Thank you for sharing with us. 💜
At the time there were only fan's theories. In the end they did release full description but you better just keep watching their videos in the order.
Yes please go back and watch “on stage prologue” it’s more story than lyrics and it’s beautiful and has one of my favorite scenes they ever shot … it’s also healing and beautiful to see them in most of it…. It’s truly a gorgeously shot mv and something special but yeh it was supposed to be before run … but you will notice more things but don’t worry about missing things with the storyline… you are just fine
The way this mv starts is a continuation of the “on stage prologue” mv
Are you going to watch the prologue? The video actually from what I understand goes in between “I need u” and “run” bc that “on stage prologue” is a lot more of the storyline and the song doesn’t have a lot of lyrics.. but it’s beautiful the way it’s shot.. you have to see it !!
If you understand these mv's you have get into their story line and trust me it's not everyone's cup of tea.. but I'll recommend you to look into it I think you'll understand the story
Please watch the whole story from all the songs in album. There's also a full story where all those clips where connected 🤎
You are right, JK is the youngest in the video and he watches others who suffer from different problems, he wants to help and he is the key here. He'll bring the solution with water that distinguishes fire and washes away all the problems. Jin here wants to grow up the flower, like build a normal life but he can't due to the problems of youth.
Gracias!!! El BU lleva tiempo de análisis y cada uno interpreta por si sólo. Siempre BTS haciéndonos pensar. Me encanta!!!💜
jin got the looping situation, he should help another member to solved from their problems. Or Jin is time traveller. there are many theories from their storyline
There is fan theory that blew mu mind about 6 months ago that said jimin created 6 friends while he was locked up.. like he made up all of them expect Jin is real and trying to convince Jimin he is sane
BTS Crystal Snow 4th Muster in Japan ( focus Jin's triple high note) I hope you'll react to it 💜
Run era is the best hair color for Yoongi and Jimin, Mint Yoongi and Orange Jimin 🔛🔝
Super impressed with your insights... although I am only familiar with the "BU" through XCelete"s explaination video, your observations add interesting "OH!!" moments.
You don't understand how hard I'm trying not to tell you what everything means lmao. I know you'll wanna come up with your own theories just like we did, but if you have any specific questions for clarity I'll be happy to explain it without spoiling the story. I do wanna mention that there's a book. It has 2 volumes if I remember correctly, I only own vol 1. The albums starting with the Love Yourself series all have small booklets with notes written in each member's pov about the story, but they're not chronological and it's really fun to order them properly and compare with the book. Unfortunately, the booklets are only in Korean.
But yes, that's abuse. It's indeed his father and the girl is his sister, he was protecting her. Make sure to watch everything else, someone already posted a list in the comments. Not all of them are music videos and some of them are for their Japanese songs, but please do watch everything. It won't help you understand everything, but it'll help. I don't even understand everything yet after reading the book.
Also, Run is technically before I Need U chronologically, basically when they're having fun together are the happy memories. It's pretty hard to tell if you don't know this cause you can't really tell which is the flashback and which is the present. And yes, they're wild. They're teens/young adults having fun and annoying everyone around them. It's quite funny.
The song at the end is Butterfly, watch the Prologue Mix. But it's not a MV so if you wanna listen to the actual song watch a live performance, the choreo is beautiful.
Oh, if you remember the MMA performance, Jungkook's water extinguished Yoongi's fire. That's basically what they're referencing there, and also why I said so many of their live performances reference the BU storyline.
Jin is the center of the story
Amo de mais ❤❤❤❤
Love your reaction💜
These choreos and Butterfly one are on my TOP 5 T_T
Well done ;)
Both are a part of the BU, the next part I think is the MV of Jimin's Lie
On stage prologue comes between I need you and run! A short film basically, with butterfly as a soundtrack
