- Time to get cultured AF again, my friends. Let's explore the symbolism and allusions in Spring Day; a profound story about friendship, loss, and what it takes to heal.
sorry my voice is so rough in this one, friends. I re-recorded this so many times and hated every single take, so i kind of just picked one and ran with it haha. I hope you enjoyed :)
[NOT SPONSORED- just thought it was cool :)] Please tweet or retweet the hashtag #BellLetsTalk to raise 5 cents for mental health organizations every time you do! This video isn't sponsored, I just wanted to give you all a way to give back. Hopefully after watching this video, some of you might be inspired to do so. If you bought Love Yourself: Her, you've helped BTS donate to UNICEF, but why stop there?

wow haha i really hate how sponsored and cringey it sounds when i talk about BellLet'sTalk, sorry guys. lol regardless, i thought it would be a cool thing to share with you guys. I hope you're all doing well!
Don't Worry I'm Not Afraid can't believe I didn't watch this video earlier (your videos are so amazing ahhhhhhh)
Don't Worry I'm Not Afraid but if one died then how are they all together in the train..who died?
More people should be watching this
This was incredible
I like your video! I also noticed the washing machine door has a sign that said 'Don't Forget' then you mentioned the clothes left behind is all we have to remind us.
I only discovered your video today and I'm like "Was I living under a rock or something?' You did a really good job.
Another mv meaning
Jungkook= the dying friend
Jimin= the friend of jungkook
Yoongi = dispare
Jhope= hope
Namjoon= time
Jin = life
Taehyung = death
The sewol sinking accident. Junkook is sewol victims. Jimin waited at shore for his friend (jungkook) to return from the ship. Rm (time) leading us through events of jk's slow death. The pile of cloths belongs to the victims who died. Hope (jhope) dispare (yoongi) and time (Namjoon) are what the victims loved ones are experiancing standing infront of omelas. Life (jin) watches through the port wholes represented through the washing machine the victims struggling and he knows they will eventually drown. Time (Namjoon) and death (v) speak about the fait of the victims (jungkook) on the bench afar from life (jin). The friend (jimin) is still waiting for his friend to return losing hope (jhope) isnt anywhere near. The victim (jungkook) realizes he's going to die but still tries to fight for his life but no one is around anymore but its no use no one can hear him or reach him in time. When the train passes and the match goes out he accepts his fait when death (v) is caught up too him he dies. The friend (jimin) finds his shoes washed up on shore and he knows immediately his friend has died. Hope comforts the friend (jimin) during the train ride. After all the time it took to heal jimin finally escapes the train it has stopped after all the pain he felt losing his best firend is ending. The snow is finally melting winter is ending. With the rest of the boys watching behind including even the best friend (jungkook). Jimin takes the shoes representing his bestfriend a life that's ended and puts it on the tree witch represents new life bringing them together so he can now finally move on past the winter past the grief to spring day.
True i literally cried reading this
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧why is it soo emotional
Omg 😢😢
It made me tear up
It needs more like
Such a beautiful explaination with limited words...thanks
I cry evrytime i watch this vedio
Just when I thought spring day couldn't get any more emotional ;-;
Beth W
Lmao same
This song and So far away always makes me cry
I know ryt.
Emotionally beaUtiful!
For me, Spring Day is dedicated to the Sewol Ferry Incident back in April 2014
Yep, I agree. The shoes Jimin found, washed up on shore and the merry-go-round has yellow ribbons just like the Pier in Korea in memory for the loss.
Yes me too
I watch it before it was so so meaningful
Agree. This was a tribute to those who died in the tragedy and to those who felt the strong guilt of surviving from it. Many wanted to commit suicide. Since the tragedy, even one of the civilian diver who retrieved the deceased bodies ended up committing suicide out of the unbearable guilt of not being able to bring them all back to the surface because some are still hard to recover and the government at that time made them stop the search. He also probably felt haunted by the images of the deceased and the condition he found them. May they all rest in peace 🕯️💐
the explanation given in the video can still apply to the sewol accident, almost like the song was written for those who lost loved ones in the accident.
When I first saw the MV, I knew it was a beautiful MV. After this, I actually understand the meaning behind it and it is even more beautiful to me now. Watching this, I was literally trying not to cry.......it's a really symbolic and incredible MV. This is one of the many reasons why I love BTS. Take the music videos of today's rappers or pop artists. They have no deeper meaning. They are honestly don't seem like there was much thought put into them. This MV obviously needed a lot of thought and BTS definitely intended this to be the message. Their music videos continue to amaze me when I compare them to other music videos out there because of the message that comes across when you put the pieces together. They are honestly incredible. I love what they are doing and how they are using the advantage of having a large and global audience to bring awareness to these kinds of topics. Now excuse me, I think I'm gonna go listen to Spring Day on repeat for a while :')
I literally started crying when she was talking about lonely they feel. Bts puts so much effort and love in their music and music videos. Bts helped me at a time where I was hurting, hating myself, and feeling so alone. I felt unwanted. I almost committed suicide. But then I discovered them and they showed me I'm not alone. That they care and love me. I love the song spring day. That's how I started listening to bts. This was the first song I listen on my journey to becoming an army. Like you said I knew spring day was a powerful and beautiful song but I didn't understand the music video to it. But now after watching this it makes so much more sense and it makes it even more beautiful.
Ikr :(
Also the song spring day is a condolence for the victims who died in ferry pier incident back in 2014 thats the most emotional that armies find out behind this song
What's most amazing to me is that there is room in the song and MV for every one of the theories: the ones focused on suicide, literary and film references, the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, and the BU storyline. And essentially, it can be as simple as comfort for loss. I know RM is a genius, but how fortuitous that everyone around him worked with the same care and brilliance to make this song.
Agreed 👍🏻
Hey, if you know about the storyline that Big Hit Entertainment created in the music videos, then the snow piercer reference also kind of has a connection there? Like, in the storyline Jin is the protagonist who time travels and everytime something goes wrong he goes back to a certain date to fix that error and save his friends. It's like a never ending cycle in time. Idk it's just interesting to think about.
yeah. I think this MV goes several layers... the top later is the stroyline, its the most 'obvious' once you watch the storyline progress, thats the first connection... then the next level splits into 2 and depending on what you read, write and watch, you either see this meaning, meaning you have taken the time to read the short story, etc. the other one is the sewol ferry incident, the ribbons are yellow just like the sewol ferry ribbon campaign as well as the suicide awareness campaigns, and I dont belive either theory to be wrong, I think they are all correct at the same time.
This is the best theory so far. In fact I believe this is the actual theory for the song, keep it up, you did good!
GIRL! this could be a mindblowing thesis paper!
I'm really amazed by all the connections you made
WE stan intellectuals.
omg
We stan intellectual armys who stan intellectual legends
I'm Jungshook
We all are (':
SUGOOK ( Suga shook, get it? Ok yeah bye)
Yes you are !
Suddenly what Suga said cross my mind "What a relief that we are seven members, what a relief that we have each other". Watching them make me feel touch and at the same time I envy them as well. I don't know about others but this you never walk alone is kind of impossible for me. I always wonder what type of person I am now if I am surrounded with those kind of people.
i was sad enough hearing the song but knowing the whole truth behind it made me cry-
I adore your voice, girl
Yes her voice is soo nice😍
I'm a new army, so I'm still learning. Your videos are really helping me to understand everything a lot better. The meaning behind this mv is so beautiful. It makes me so emotional. Thank you for this explanation. BTS' artistry is truly powerful and beautiful
This was incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for this video. Thank you a lot. Honestly, I was about to cry. You really made an awesome job here. I don't really speak English, I'm Mexican, but I love to see your videos, and I make my best to understand. Cause your message is really powerful. And I want to help you transmit it. I'll share this video with everyone I know, I swear. Cause I've tryed to take my life away many times now, your words really hit me, and I want to let the people know about the message of this song, and help them know we never walk alone. Honestly, I love what you did. Good job, girl, you won my heart.
Oh my gosh, now i'm the one about to cry. Eres tan fuerte, por favor, nunca olvides 💜 I'm so glad the video means so much to you, i truly won't ever forget your comment. When i say you're not alone i truly mean it, if you ever need someone to talk to, i'm here. I'm so proud of you, and i'm so glad you're still here with us. Keep fighting, keep pushing forward, my friend 💜💜💜
Amazing as usual. Just honestly it’s beautiful.
thank you 💞
Its so touching to know the real meaning of their video. It's really hard to move on when your in pain. But this video inspires me to not block the pain from feeling it because it'll just worsen. Indeed, pain, loneliness, missing someone you know will never go back, demands to be felt by our hearts and that the Good thing is , we should embrace it until we can finally accept and move on.
I’m a new ARMY and when I listened through their albums I wasn’t really like Spring Day.
Than I watched the MV. When V put down his head to the train tracks I brusted out in tears (I struggle with suicidal thoughts time to time). I watched the MV over and over that night with and without lyrics. I cried a lot.
Than I learned about the Sewol Ferry tragedy. I know it’s not confirmed by the company neither the boys but fits well. And this explanation as well.
What great about music and art in general is that it can mean a lot of stuffs depend on the consumer. And BTS is really great about adding lot of layers to their music and art.
Now Spring Day is on my sad BTS music list (the Black Swan list) because most of the times when I hear it I brust into tears. But sometimes we should let ourselves a good cry.
Thank you for this explanation!❤️
okay, I literally never comment on videos ever and I know I'm very late to this, but I just have to say that this is so beautiful and I appreciate all the work you put into this video. I've heard a number of different theories and caught a bunch of the symbols, but you did an outstanding job at putting it all together. This music video has always been one of my favourites and now I can appreciate it with an even deeper understanding. BTS have really changed my life in so many ways and it's so touching to see how far they've come and how their friendship has developed, as well as how their voice (through their music and otherwise) has grown. I just want to thank you again for your stunning interpretation, it's very close to my heart. I cried throughout this whole video.
p.s. your voice is actually gorgeous
thank you so much, that really means a lot. i actually feel quite quilty that it's been years and i still haven't gotten part 2 to this video up. it'll be explaining how the symbolism relates to the Sewol Ferry tragedy. i'm working on it now, so stay tuned
Don't Worry I'm Not Afraid, Looking forward to it
I wasn't even army when I watched spring day and don't know korean but started BALLING my eyes out..
that’s why it’s my favorite MV, but also my favorite song, my favorites lyrics, and also my favorite aesthetic
THe first time I saw the MV I knew it was something very meaningful and deep but I couldn't fully understand. well l'm speechless at your explanation .
The depth and understanding of this song is profound.
Why did you make me cry??
I already had a bad cold
But I am not complaining 😀😀😄😄
This is wonderful. Thank you.
I DIDNT WANT TO CRY. OMG.
What a profound, beautiful analysis this was. It's such a treat - the way the words were strung together, and your calming voice, it is such a beautiful perspective of Spring Day. Thank you
This is an amazing video! The theories you've been posting have been the favourites I've seen! So good
thank you so much, that really means a lot 💗
How about the “no vacancy”? And the sewol ferry tragedy? The no vacancy part is actually from a movie about 7 boys
Your voice is gorgeous
aww omg thanks so much!!
I am a strong person I never cry on any MV or movie but I feel it deeply but this is making me cry can't believe but .......really love BTS thanks for your hard work and positivity that they are spreading like fresh air like trees .... 💜
This is amazing.. I also recommend for you to read THE CITIES OF OMELAS.. Those that were written in this novel also represents SPRING DAY and this is why RM has recommended this novel to us in order for all to understand what why and how Spring day was written and MV really are connected.. Awesome job to all and to you who did a great job in getting deeper into this. Slow clap...
This was just so beautiful, and your voice sounded lovely, even with all the re-recordings! This is such a great video idea; very interested to see which ones you may do next! Keep up the great work! ^^v
thank you so much!!
I can't explain my feelings for how much meaning they carry and how much I love them for that... I really can't explain how much they helped me and taught me things and it makes me feel things in my bones
Thank you. Spring Day is the song by BTS that hold the most meaning for me and you just added more depths and understanding to that. Thank you so much.
Snowflakes in my eyes!!! I'm crying T-T I wish I should've shown this to my friend when she was suffering and trying to kill herself...I only texted the lyrics tho
Spring day was already sad enough through lyrics and stuff
But with this
I can never see spring day in yhe same light ever again...
I'm glad I watched this thank you ㅠ.ㅠ
Wow i got goosebumps and cried a little ... i Love how these videos have such a deep meaning that you can’t not see it at first sight - not even after watching it 10 times! You really have to sit down ,watch a whole movie , read a book and think hard about all the methapors in here .. I wished I could have figured it out by myself.. you are amazing :) thank you so much 😊 and I love BTS and their whole Crew even more .. it just shows how far ahead they think and how much they want us to figure this stuff out 💜
This MV (as well as menu other from BTS) is such a masterpiece! Thanks for explaining it so beautifully! Every time when I watch their productions I wonder WHO CAME UP WITH ALL THOSE IDEAS!? This is pure art...
So good 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I almost cried
Your brilliant analysis of BTS' music videos just makes me love them more. Thank you for this, and keep it up! 😭👍💕
This was amazing n very very insightful. Thank you
Wow, thank you so much for this. It really helps me appreciate the song much more and BTS as storytellers. Wonderfully explained.
Woah! MIND BLOWN! thank you so much for explaining. I caught on to most of it but those little details where the things I couldn't understand. it's so much more meaningful now .
Wow this broke my heart. 💔 Omg man the boys are so good at their mvs. The story's behind them is so... Heart braking but so inspiring. Thanks for this. Now I know what this mv means Everytime I watch it. 💖
Wow your analysis is brilliant and you explain the ideas so well! Thank you for making this! It makes the music video so much more meaningful to me💕
Wow....... I knew their music videos had meaning but I had no clue they were so deep and detailed...... good job finding all of this information and putting it in such a well written script. This was beautiful! 💕
thanks so much!
i love you so much for making this video. this is my favorite song and I had no idea about the mv.... thank you. just... thanks
This really made me emotional but like had me so surprised omg
Wooow😩that story was soo beautiful 😢 they're so precious ☹️ this era is soo special for me idky✨
that why spring day and bts mean so much to me. I experienced a alarming ammount of pain and depression in my childhood. I was abused by mother, and no one helped me out of that situation. I attempted scuicide twice durring those years. I was so hurt and depressed, i didnt think i was going to live to see my 13th birthday. I deffinately owe bts my life for giving me one of my main reasons to live. All of the familly close to me knew of at least some amount of the abuse. but did nothing. I can never really forgive them for that. besides them, there is only 1 other person who I truly would live for. This song and it slyrics was what I wanted my friends to see and hear if i ever died of scuicide. Because it talks about scuicide and getting over it. It was going to kind of be my last message to them. that I was no longer in pain and in a better place. At 15 now, its been 5 years since my first attempts and on comming 6 in november. Im not in as bad of a situation as before, and I am mentally more stable now, but this song will always have so much meaning for me.
Thank you for your beautiful interpretation of this song!!
the song never stood out to me but now it does
7:50 I just started thinking about Jonghyun and now I'm crying again
I love this so much, you added so many layers to this music video that I didn't quite get before (though I knew that I was missing things). Your videos are amazing. I don't think your summary quite did justice to The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, but that may just be impossible and everyone should go read it anyway.
Thank you for this video. Spring Day is really special to me too..
To this day, Spring day has yet to leave the Korea top 100 and is currently sitting at #94
here before 60 views 😏💜✌. your voice is very calming by the way
aw thank you!
House of Jikook you're welcome 😊. is it ok for me to recommend your explanations to a reactor?
omg absolutely!
House of Jikook you're awesome 😄 thank you 💜💜💜
My god. This song and your explanation are so beautiful. I cried. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video! Really helped me understand the MV more. Also side note I love your voice, it sounds so calm and confident and intelligent.
thanku. I'm crying but now i know that im not alone... i will try to recover mentally as soon as possible
I'm in tears. Thank you so so much for this, it's so beautiful and well thought/said.
aww, i'm really glad you like it
Once again you have me in awe, and there are no words to describe just how beautiful and amazingly detailed it was. Apart from getting cultured af 😂, you got me in the feels 😭😘 Thanks so much for sharing, you're so talented.
thank you so much, you're so sweet. i'm so glad everyone seems to be enjoying!
I thought the same. That made me love you literally 🖤
I just watched this video and I’m crying because all the signs of symbolism I caught onto but didn’t understand all just flashed back and I understand grief, it’s very common for me and I’ve had lots of it this year, instead of losing loved ones to suicide I’ve lost them to change, they choose others over me and leave me behind causing me to have extreme grief and wonder what I did wrong and then I gather myself and soon realize who my real friends are and they help me catch back up to where I was before. Also amazing video and I hope don’t have bad times in the new year! 💜💜 purple you and merry new year
aw i'm glad you enjoyed, and i hope 2019 will be better! keep your head up my friend, at least now you know who really has your back. fighting! :)
*watching the MV just makes me sad that it represents the sewol ferry disaster☹️*
U ARE AMAZING!!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL UR WORK
Wow nice analysing... As per my opinion it's about finding happiness in inner self.. spring day is already present just realised it... I think they want to tell us this..... Btw nice explanation 🤗🤗🤗
this song makes me cry every single time.
Omg ! I love your analyzing , PERFECT 👌🏼
haha thanks so much :))
I have a new found appreciation and respect ✊🏼 for this song🌹🌹🌼🌛🌺🍁
This is awesome bc I love how you tied the three parts together into a coherent whole that made me see the MV differently. The only thing I would add is that the yellow ribbons symbolize the Sewol Ferry Incident and that ties into not just yellow ribbons for suicide awareness but also the greed, corruption and ultimately selfishness of the government or corporations which would be the child in Omelas upon who's everyone fake happiness is standing until people find out. The death of someone, either suicide or not, would be a wake up to reality event that launches you into grief and having to face the darkness and the reality of your fake happiness. And that's the effect the Ferry Incident had on South Korea as well as using the yellow ribbons to bring awareness to the issues of suicide and mental illness in general. So that's how it fits into it for me. Thanks so much for this vid. It was so helpful.
Ah i really, really appreciate this comment. I knew about the Sewol Ferry tragedy, and i wanted to talk about it here, but i felt like it would come across as more of a tangent in an otherwise cohesive video. BUT- i love your interpretation so much! Very well said! Anyways, thanks so much for the support and kind words :))
Wonderful video explanation💜your voice is beautiful and so soothing. Thank you!
Love these talented dorks very much🤗this song always has a special place in my heart. It was the song that made me ARMY in 2017 introduced to me by my oldest son🥰
I love you 💜 you explain it so well it makes me cry bc I’m fighting through some personal stuff and I thank BTS they’re helping me a lot
And once again you give us such an amazing video! So insightful and well made, thank you so much for this❤️
You’re so talented omg!!! This was amazing keep it up!
I heard that spring day was about The sinking of MV Sewol, also called the Sewol ferry disaster, occurred on the morning of 16 April 2014 .... on the carousel It looked like the same yellow ribbons that were tied along the chain link fence for all of the victims when they finally brought the Sewol ferry back up to exam it . The shoes Jimin found on the beach represents the shoes of all the students that were found on the ferry when the divers went down to recover bodies . Jin looking up the stairwell taking a picture was because the students were recording their last moments and also because the rescuers were not allowed to enter the boat but they could see the students through the windows of the ferry but could not save them and watching the drown . Hence the washing machine scene. The mountain of clothes was suppose to represent all of the students luggage and clothes that was pulled from the ferry to be identified by parents of the victims . The train at the beginning was suppose to represent the ferry . There are many indications during the MV this was written specifically for sewol ferry disaster. I could go into further detail about the video ... but I leave it on this note ...The incident could have been prevented and so sad that the president at the time did not do more to prevent the incident. She allowed all of those students to perish . I honestly wished this was a time when ppl had not listened to an authority figure and they would have jumped.... I would have been terrified to have jumped off a boat, building or anything but most of those ppl who drowned with that ferry could have been saved had they of done so ....
Beautiful interpretation. Thankyou so much for posting this❤
Thank you for this education! I’m not sure if the film and book is available in English and these concepts are new from that perspective. I always wondered about the deeper meaning of the video and have felt confused about it. Now I understand! Thank you!!!
(I'm definitely 3 years late for this) I'm very new to the fandom and as a bookworm, I decided to read more on literary pieces that BTS referenced their songs to. I read "The Ones who walk away from Omelas" before knowing about the Sewol Ferry incident. I think you summed up all the connections among the short story, about death/suicide awareness, and MV/song very well 💕 After knowing about the Sewol ferry incident, I guess it can be layered on it as another hidden meaning since it could also mean losing a loved one (victim) from the incident , causing a person to walk away from the "Omelas" ( happiness/celebration of life after tragedy) because of the guilt of being a survivor, but never truly forgetting the loved ones who suffered (child who suffered for Omelas). It's never confirmed by BigHit nor BTS members but it really fits the song well. I believe this is what makes BTS so unique that a lot of meanings can come from their songs which means they really put their heart and soul into making them.
This was amazing and it got me so emotional...I really love this series you are so good at explaining! 😭😭😭
I’m so happy I watched snow piercer because this all makes sense
i'm 3 years late but i think that a lot of movies were inspired by Omelas's story : Hunger games , Maze runner...
Thankyou so much 💛💜💜💜💜💜
i just watched snow piercer and read the omelas thing. good watch and good read. thank you
Although I am not a korean person the pain cannot leave me although it's been so many years since it happened, it so sad that the sewol ferry drowned, but there was no explanation to explain the really situation
Why I cry when I listen to this song😩😔✨
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to make this video 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Gurl, u need more subs. This is amazing
I got chills as she talked about the symbolism of the shoes...
I-
I didnt sign up for this
Im crying
This is so beautiful
Good job!
I just want to say "thank you". This is pure beauty.
aww, thank you
okay this was already my favorite song, but it just got so much better by this video, am I the only one who is in tears?!?!?!
Omg.. wow.. I don’t know how you know all this and put all of this together but I love this
Incredible, amazing analysis,no wonder i very very love BTS, It's so many mistery inside it and meaningful in the MV,....... love BTS .....my forever boyband grup in the world 😙😙😙.... thanks for the analysis make me more and more BTS
This is so overwhelming 😭 Thank you for your hardwork 💜
i always took Spring Day as an emotional song and i knew about the small story behind it to some extent, buT FUCK this video gave me a whole different perspective on the lyrics and the symbolism in the video making the whole song 10x sadder. Thanks. No but seriously thank you this was amazing i had a nice cry lmao.
I thought it was about the sewol ferry incident and the children who died
I think there can be several interpretations of it and if it inspires someone with how it’s interpreted I think it’s a good thing
It was...But it can be perceived in many ways...that is how amazing Spring Day is. That is how profound BTS is...
this mind stuff i love to listen to i learn more here than school
So far this and the sewol ferry tribute are my favourite theories....gives this song so much more meaning
