Pls watch BTS Spring Day MV EXPLAINED by bulletproof vibes and ItalianARMY explanation video "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day MV". u can watch on ur own if it will be too much. But i strongly suggest u watch both. ItalianARMY explanation is more shocking. Seeing both will give u lots of answers to pieces of the MV. ty
55:33 If you watch the "Spring Day" explained by Italian ARMY, I swear what the government did was a lot worser When the captain abandoned the ship when it was sinking, he ordered everyone to stay in their place while they selfishly escaped on their own If not for that order, the student's would have been able to save themselves from drowning but unfortunately they trust their elders and authorities too much Also the government have lots of chances to save the kids and there was even a Japan & US Navy near by ready to rescue but the SK government refused the offer, and they just let the kids drown, but what's more wicked is that the media reported that the children were saved So the people who were qualified divers who wants to save the children didn't bother to go, and for those who knows the truth especially the local fisherman they tried to rescue to children as many as possible by forcibly breaking the glass windows were stopped by the authorities And the so called "rescuers" by the SK Navy were just putting on show, by pretending they were saving the children but in reality they don't care at all, they even waited for a very very long time for the reporters to come to film them "saving" the children so that they can be viewed as heroes, while the fishermen and divers who saved few of the children while interrogated and was arrested. The government didn't even compensate them for their grave injuries and unfortunately one of the divers who saved a few children committed suicide due to the guilt of not being able to save all of them.
Spring Day is a very important song in Korea, there are 2 videos explaining the whole meaning of the video and the lyrics, it is incredibly sad because it is about the Seoul Ferry Tragedy in 2014 where many kids died because of the corruption and late response of the Korean Government. It is very well explained and we ARMY will be very keen to watch it with you if you want to. I love your reactions!
Suga once revealed in Sucwhita that he genuinely thought BTS is gonna end at HYYH Era, which is why they have songs like Young Forever, Butterfly, House of Cards, etc. Songs which emphasize the fear of parting or ending.
Spring day has an explanation video if you are interested in watching it. This Italian Army goes in depth explaing the whole incident! It's heartbreaking and very educational about South Korean corruption in government. We will be glad to watch with you if you decide to watch it! 🥰🥰 thanks for your time and reactions! You are a kind honest reactor! 🔥🥰
Spring Day, the song and the video have different meanings. Your initial interpretation is valid. It's just that so many ARMY have connected the dots of the video to the SEWOL ferry. The song itself really is a sense of longing for Spring where everything blooms and not dark. This song has not left the charts in SK since it was released. ARMY charted it to #1 on iTunes for the 1st time in multiple countries a couple a days or a day ago when the last 4 members enlisted.
There is absolutely no need for you to apologize for your authentic reaction to any BTS song. I believe They are meant to be open to everyone’s interpretation. There are interviews with BTS asking if this song was written about the Sewol tragedy and even tho it is widely assumed it is, they never acknowledge that specifically. I am ARMY, I love ARMY and I think most of the time comments are written to give you back story to the songs, it is done out of love, not to make you feel bad. ARMY have listened to these songs over and over and read every detail of BTS info for anything the guys have ever done whether it be about the songs or their life in general 😊. We often forget it is usually your first time ever hearing a song. I always appreciate the depth with which you dive in to each reaction- not just giving it an occasional “ I like this” , but actual thought given to what the meaning could be. You are doing a great job !💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It has been explained many times, from the members themselves and other BigHit staff. The song itself was written from personal experience and then the MV was used as a memorial for the victims of the Sewol Ferry tragedy.
@@ipurpleu1668 Exactly. They initially avoided talking about it, people asking if the video was referring to the tragedy, but with how things were at the moment is reasonable why they acted that way. They were in danger of being blacklisted by the government and it was difficult for any person in the public eye to come clean with it... Nonetheless, they have already confirmed that the MV it is in fact about the Sewol incident. Also... While the song is generally about different types of missing and the various feelings that you could have in that situations, I'm gonna go on a mile and say that the reference to "Snowpiercer" in the lyrics, reflect that sentiment more directly...
@@elizabethmunguia3876 I think people listen to other fans talk about it too much and get misinformed. People have the timeline all wrong. They could NOT have been blacklisted for the MV because it came out after the president had already been in impeached. The movement was already at large, most of Korea was against the president, she had already been impeached, and they were in the process of getting her out of office and in jail. The reason they probably didn't speak about the MV being directly related to it was to show support without taking away attention from the actual movement. They were not at ALL at risk by the time Spring Day came out. Before the president was impeached, yes, which is why they were quiet about their donations. But this was longgg before. And BTS were already 'at risk' because of other songs and things they had said before, which is why they were found on the 'blacklists' that were leaked. How about you actually listen to the people who made the song? They have all spoken about the lyrics many times. Also, have you seen Snowpiercer? The lyrics ("alone on the Snowpiercer") refers to a very specific scene of Snowpiercer. The main character is alone for the first time in 18 years and is devastated and breaks down crying. Because even though he comes from the 'slums' and is crowded in with too many people, being alone is worse than that. That's what the ONE lyric is referring too. It's not a continuing allusion throughout the song, it's a metaphor to that specific scene. Also, look at the actual verses of the song. The first verse specifically relates to friendships that get harder over time. RM specifically mentioned it's about growing up and he wrote it about friends from school he no longer talks to. "Seeing each other now is so difficult," anyone with friends who slowly grow apart can relate to this. Suga's verse is specifically about his friend, which he talks about more in his solo music. It's talking about people changing over time and how you just can't make it work anymore because you are too different. How do either of this relate to the Sewol Ferry tragedy? They don't. The whole song is about grief and friendship, which makes it relatable to many situations as a whole. But actually breaking down the song lyric by lyric, it's easier to tell what it was originally written about. BUT that doesn't mean it still can't be related to other things. That's the beauty of music and interpretation. Just because the artist wrote about one thing doesn't mean it can't mean something else to someone else or other people.
Boy meets evil always moves me its such a poetic and powerful depiction of addiction. Ppl forget spring day does not have one meaning. It is about youth, about suicide, about societal issues, its about GRIEF in whatever form it fits for the listener. Yes the mv has significance pertaining to the sewol tragedy but whatever the listener gets from it is the point. It has references to so many different things just like all of bangtans art. Never apologize for feeling or interepting anything if theirs in the way you do, its meant to be appreciated that way.
If you are interested in learning more about the Sewol Ferry tragedy and the MV links to it, I'd highly recommend you checking out these 2 videos: 1) [2020] What you STILL DON'T KNOW about BTS SPRING DAY MV by Italian ARMY 2) The Sewol Ferry Tragedy by Rotten Mango We would love to see you react to them but please, take your time while watching because they are heavy videos, we understand
There’s a behind the scenes bangtan bomb of how the “Save Me”mv was filmed. I think you would love it. It was filmed in one continuous shot. And they battled the elements, rainy and cold.
If you want a really good in-depth explanation about what happened in the Sewol Ferry incident, Rotten Mango made a YT video/podcast episode about it all, even including reports from Korean media/news outlets (the host is Korean and a native speaker). It's long, and it is meant to be a true-crime type of thing, but it's very good and covers everything from beginning to open-end. I remember when the incident happened and it was a really somber year for Korean entertainment media. BTS has never come out to explicitly say that Spring Day is about this tragedy b/c the SK president at the time very regularly intimidated and pressured news sites and journalists to warp and suppress things (this is also covered in Rotten Mango's vid) as well as b/c they wanted to keep the song open to broader interpretations of loss and grief, but it is widely accepted amongst ARMY (and the SK public I believe) that the song was meant to comfort/express the feelings of the grieving families and survivors of the incident It's very contextual, so don't worry about not automatically knowing! Your interpretation actually fits very well w/ BTS's overall lore storyline for the time it came out :)
Only when I watch Spring Day again did it sink in that they are all in the military now. I miss our 7 already, it is so hard especially for us ARMYs who haven been used to having them with us for 10 yrs. especially when they go live just so they could talk to us and see how we are doing. Nobody does is like them and nobody will every understand ARMY and BTS' bond unless you're in our purple cirle. SPRING DAY is the mother of all BTS songs.
Army is sad so we made Spring Day chart for their departure. Hit I-tunes #1 in many counties including the US… for the first time after its release in 2017.
Amazing reaction! It's been so long since I've seen some of these mv's, it almost felt like seeing them for the first time with the company of a friend 💕 also , in my personal opinion Boy meets Evil is a masterpiece, it's one of my favorite BTS songs (despite it being an intro) the combination of the instrumental, the lyrics, jhope's vocals and especially his dancing and delivery gives me the chills even years after seeing it for the first time
DG thank you for this reaction. I needed this and in processing the fact that i miss my 7. Please don't be so hard on yourself. As other ARMYies have said the meaning behind the song and the video are different. Namjoon said that when he was writibg Spring day, it was like a longing for a loved one, a friend. (Either in spirit or someone who is distant) This song and Young Forever are my current go to songs as we wait for our First Spring Day in June 2024 when Jin returns home to us. I will leave my last bit of my essay of a comment in a lighter way: Boy Meets Evil was my first MV and Jhope reminds me all the time why he is part of my ult line in one video that changed everything for me. All in all, thank yoh DG really. I needed this.
Actually, you should make a second reaction of I need U, blood sweet and tears and Fake love after the knowledge you learn after diving into the BU, since for me, those (and other MVs of BTS) have so many layers that it is fine to have an idea the first time you watch them without knowing anything and then after knowing other layers of their song. Another reason why I love BTS soooo much
Young Forever is a "farewell" kind of song. They always have present not only the (unfortunate) expiry date for "pop" singers, especially inside the idol industry (which still is ongoing, since people token stan other people as if they were interchangeable objects), but with time they've seen they are not that and we ARMY are not that. Even if casual listeners and other fans "move on" (a crazy concept if you think in western terms like "I've moved on from The Beatles and now I stan Aerosmith O_o, like here you like both, but are not invested in them as people, only as artists and also they don't share much unless tabloids get a glimpse at their lives or they do interviews with an assorted set of questions), but also they have present the possibility of burn out (Seesaw, Tear) and disbanding for their peace of mind. Fortunately, it seems they've realized they are closer to the western concept of artists (while remaining foundational pillars of Kpop as we know it today) and they have realized they don't have to have comebacks after comebacks, that they can stay true to themselves and release music when they have it ready and thus last longer in this industry, par to any big names out there: Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and so on.
So, at a time where there were a lot of doubts already (the nonsensical hate has been going on since day 1 till now), this song was special for them. And one of the members who said it out loud was Jimin. When ARMY sang this song to them at Wembley (surprise coordinated by BH), they were confused ("was this on the setlist?") and then overwhelmed by the meaning, thankful for the thought and the love we will always show them. If you haven't, there are some fancams of that moment :)
I think that you don't need to apologize for your interpretation of Spring Day. IMO the song is written so that even if you don't know about the hidden meaning, you can still feel the emotion in the song and the more straight-forward meaning that no hardship lasts forever and after days of darkness, after winter, a spring day will come and you'll be in a better place.
This song is unique. It touched the hearts of the whole nation. The song is still charting in Skorea in top 10 There are many more symbols in the mv. There are many explanation videos of this. The very interesting part is that the lyrics and MV seem not to match. It is about missing friends Namjoon said. But it is indirectly the friends who passed away in the tragedy.
Just wanted to say how much I liked your interpretations on Spring Day before reading the info on the ferry. (The Sewol Ferry tragedy was even worse than told in the comment and I highly recommend you researching further for yourself. Italian ARMY has made a great explanation video that I'm sure everyone is suggesting, for good reason. This song hasn't left Korean music charts since it's release, and is called the Queen. The choreo also reflects the tragedy.) HOWEVER, BTS has never confirmed this interpretation, and there is some difference between the lyrics and MV, giving room to remember this is such a multi-layered group that other interpretations CAN be supported. I loved your interpretation looking through the lens of the storyline, though there were some inaccuracies in the analysis by that Harvard source you used (among them, they ignored Demian. That wasn't Lucifer but Abraxas, a god neither fully evil or good. I'll screw up the explanation so look it up.) The points you made not being so offtrack, just a little too focused on Judaio/Christian values/worldview, but seriously great for contemplating storyline and other layers. BTS themselves have a light hearted version of the choreo released one Festa that would seem nearly sacrilegious if there was ONLY the ferry layer interpretation of the song. Thanks for sharing your ideas before getting caught by ARMY dogma💜
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. i love hearing ur thoughts. Good connection with Airplane pt. 2. =0] The Jimin album was all pandemic connected. So he was drinking because he had nothing really to do for months. All their plans were canceled. They had to think about what now? A lot. So the drinking makes sense. I love this song a lot. Feels. Love the maze imagery too. They have a song called Love Maze. And i think maybe it's a double meaning u know. The acting is so good. They look so pretty in this one. The maze of life is what comes to my mind. An army pointed out that them being upside down and than as V walks they all on the same side was very important. For Youth one of the newer songs from BTS has young forever army singing at the start of the song because the song is for army in whole. Also, Jimin has young forever tats on each of his elbows. The song is very special to him. Recently the guys sing this song to us and we sing it together and it makes me tear up. The song encompasses our youth together. And them leaving their youth and going into the military growing and maturing more and leaving us behind hurts. Being apart hurts. But is necessary. My feeling are hard to explain, sigh. I am one of the newer army but being an empath lets me feel and know more than my years with BTS. My belief within storyline so far is that V is alive. I also agree with another reactor about the meaning of that upside down image. This is fun. Excited to hear ur take on the Wings films. Some of them are really uncomfortable to me. Great acting and imagery though. Have a good week. -NY USA 2019 Army💜 #YouAreEnough Good reaction(Save me), ty. Yes, it's one take! Great job spotting this! There are Bangtan Bombs for behind the scenes pls check them out. =0) Suga is very gifted. He is one of a very few fast rappers. Some ppl say he is the Eminem of Korea. But RM can rap dang fast too. You will see when you get more into his solo stuff. Never knew about the reverse order of the notes, and the rappers going in reverse. Very cool. Suga and J-hope are SOPE ME as a unit. We love SOPE!!! They so funny together and sound amazing back to back. =0) The boy meets _ at the end of the Save Me MV was basically a teaser for the future drop of their track "boy meets evil." They used to do this often in their older songs. "Boy meets evil" is a J-hope solo song. It is also an intro to their Wings album. Or should I say The "boy meets-" is actually the concept of the wings album. The full sentence is "boy meets evil". Wings album is based on a book called "Demian." The music video for it is pretty cool. Very deep song. Hobi is very talented. This song got a partner song called I'm Fine. Pls give it a listen too. I love in I'm fine how the choreography matches the lyrics. It's so beautiful. Both songs are bops. I love them and feel very connected to each one. I am a cancer survivor and the songs echo what I said to myself and others while I was battling cancer with chemo. I am in remission for almost 5 years now but the memories are still there from the trauma of the experience. Jimin gets picked on by the other members of his emotional choreo from this song. It's so funny but also shoot poor Jimin. lol. Them messing with him about this has been going on for years it's a running gag. lol. Good reaction(Boy Meets Evil), ty. This one made me appreciate Hobi more. Jimin bias, Suga wrecker & OT7. But I love dance and dancing to the beat. Hobi did that perfectly. He was on point with everything. Very impressive. And what is interesting is that I did not find him attractive at the start either. Now I love all of them. Hobi was hot in this. =0p This could be one of his 1st solo songs within BTS.
Spring Day é uma música muito importante na Coreia, há 2 vídeos explicando todo o significado do vídeo e da letra, é incrivelmente triste porque é sobre a tragédia da balsa de Seul em 2014 onde muitas crianças morreram por causa da corrupção e da resposta tardia do governo coreano. Está muito bem explicado e nós, ARMY, teremos muito interesse em assistir com você se quiser. Adoro suas reações!
Thank you for your reaction to spring day, but I think you should watch the spring day mv explanation video to have a better understanding of the MV as well as the lyrics!
Explanation videos do not show a good understanding of the lyrics. The lyrics are very personal to RM and to Suga, which Suga has expanded on in his solo albums. Explanation videos incorrectly connect the song to the tragedy. It's the MV that was used as a memorial, but the song itself was not written for or about it.
Cont... Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. I love this song. It's so beautiful. I did not cry when I heard the song or saw the video for the 1st time. It did touch my heart though. One of my fav's for sure. The first time I heard the song was in Dear Class Of 2020. If you have not watched pls do. It's awesome. I loved this performance a lot. Spring Day for me is a sad hopeful song. I get melancholy feels from it. I hope u watch BTS Spring Day MV EXPLAINED by bulletproof vibes. It's so good. There are a few explanation videos. Some have more detail than the others. The comment u read summaries the explanation vids but a few things they changed. This song is a Queen because it's on the charts so many years. Stores play it in Korea because ppl want to remember and never forget. BTS made this one to help ppl remember. I think that's just amazing! After the guys all enlisted recently USA army charted the song to #1 for the 1st time ever in 6 yrs. Cool, right. Yes, Yet to Come has echoes of Spring Day and other MVs. The song is for army so only army will truly get the meaning. This is why many cry watching that MV. The carousel says YOU NEVER WALK ALONE. This is an album name it is also their msg to army from long ago. stay safe. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 @psychokitty71 said on 8/3/23 The song itself is not about Spring Day, but about loss and grief. The video, however is about the Sewol ferry tragedy. It was only confirmed by BTS in late 2020 in an interview. There is another explanation, by Italian ARMY that is even more heartbreaking. Italian ARMY's explanation goes more into the actual tragedy and includes footage from the tragedy, from the parents begging someone to save their children and even a clip from inside the sinking ship, where a man can be heard making an announcement that strongly urges the passengers on the ferry to stay put. The video also goes into the cause of the tragedy and it's aftermath. If you guys are strong enough to watch something like that, I highly recommend it, but it's okay if you aren't able to. That explanation video is so detailed and heart wrenching that there are a number of people who can't watch the whole thing. There are also even more details in the MV that indicate that it represents the Sewol ferry sinking than are pointed out in this video. The boys even performed Spring Day on an award show one time, and the stage was made to look as if it was on the bottom of the sea. @beccal.5369 said on 8/3/23 💜🙏Thank you for sharing your heartfelt reaction to Spring Day...... I want to share with you a comment to another reactor from a survivor of the Sewol disaster.. I would like you to hear from him just how BTS has healed him through this song and the messages they have: His name is Chilo Abellon - and this is his public comment in full - unedited - from 2 years ago.......... "I remembered when they rescuing us its so tragic when you see your classmates/friends stuck asking and hearing them scream for help, the screaming and voices of people asking for help while the ships is sinking the scream slowly vanished. When you can’t help them because the water got deeper and deeper while they rescue us slowly. The time that i got rescued only 3 of us survived, my two classmates and i in our and my other classmates stuck in the ships hoping they’re still alive but when the time i heard the news that they’re all gone. It slowly sinking in that all my friends and the other class are gone and will never comeback. I feel guilty when I survived, I’m thinking am i lucky? Or is it not right that i was alive and not them? Do i deserve to live?. Feeling depressed, having suicidal thoughts, every night you can’t sleep because i keep hearing those scream a scream people needing a help but you can’t because your weak and got broken bones. Everything time I struggled to see what life is all about, thinking what if all of my friends survived and they with me survived. It would be dream to see that happening. I struggled to make a good life that i can be proud of because of that incident happened but when i found out about BTS my life changed me because of their music they changed my life the way that i can be proud of and I started loving myself by little by little and finally the day I realize life is so short and the incident happened 7years ago impacted my life to be a better person and all of our hardships are just a big task for us to make them done and the outcome will be 100times better the incident happened 7years ago thought me so many things. The biggest one is don’t forget they might be gone but don’t forget them put them on your heart and like life all of your hardship and your mistakes will not lose or fail you it’s always a win win situation because we always learn from them. Spring day is my number 1 fav song of BTS because I reminisce the things happened 7years ago while watching the mv and it always help me to keep going in life and do not give up on things that i want to achieve - My name is Chilo one of the survivors of the sewol ferry incident." I truly hope he does not mind me passing on his public comment - but this best shows the power of BTS message. The worst thing about the disaster - the captain and crew fled the ship the morning 9.35 - the ferry did not sink until the night - they left the warning to "not move and stay still" playing on a loop through the ship. Only the children that disobeyed the warning survived. The others drowned as they were so ingrained to listen to authority. The civilian boats that attempted to rescue people were stopped by the coast guard as people would discover the boat was illegally overloaded. Parents on the shore were receiving desperate calls and texts from their children begging for help. And the coastguard did nothing. The only rescue the coastguard made that day was the captain and crew... The people that got rescued were rescued by fishing vessels that got there first before they were stopped...3 years the ferry lay at the bottom as the Govt would not raise it for fear of discovering the truth.... They found video footage taken on mobile phones that were recovered of children wishing their families goodbye. One of the civilian rescue divers later committed suicide after having to recover so many children's bodies knowing that he could have saved them but was forcibly stopped. As a parent I could not comprehend having to live through such a thing. Horrific that your own government would perpetrate and then cover up such a incident... jailing dissenters for protesting. It was proven that there were high officials with financial interests in the ferry. The president colluded with them to bury the truth and hamper investigations... 10000 people in the public eye (reporters, artists, etc) put on a Govt blacklist for speaking about it. BTS went and paid respects to the parents of the victims in 2014 when the tragedy occured. No Cameras - No fanfare - just doing what was right...They also donated approx $100,000 (that year they only earnt $300,000 - they gave 1/3 of their earnings) to help the parents in their fight for justice.... We only found out about the donation years later as one of the parents was sick of all the hatred BTS was always getting and wanted others to know just how decent they are. The MV, The album cover, The choreography all relate back to the Sewol. But The song is about missing anyone you love and are separated from. They have since been singing Spring Day during the pandemic as the world is now longing for a spring day. Spring Day has never left the music charts, to this day it is still in the top 100 charts.... almost 7 years later and this song still speaks to people everywhere. I highly recommend ItalianARMY explanation video "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day MV" but it is very hard to watch. Footage of the parents begging the coast guard to save their children shattered me.... She actually travelled to South Korea to speak with the parents and compile the video. Sorry this is so long - but I really wanted to pass his comment and information to you relating to your Spring Day Explained video.... with posting your reaction you have helped keep the memory of Sewol alive and maybe others who do not know of it will learn of the tragedy. Thank you for sharing your journey, and helping to spread BTS message.. You are a really nice couple. Sending greetings and love from Australia... BORAHAE💜 #WeNeverWalkAlone

Pls watch BTS Spring Day MV EXPLAINED by bulletproof vibes and ItalianARMY explanation video "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day MV". u can watch on ur own if it will be too much. But i strongly suggest u watch both. ItalianARMY explanation is more shocking. Seeing both will give u lots of answers to pieces of the MV. ty
55:33 If you watch the "Spring Day" explained by Italian ARMY, I swear what the government did was a lot worser
When the captain abandoned the ship when it was sinking, he ordered everyone to stay in their place while they selfishly escaped on their own
If not for that order, the student's would have been able to save themselves from drowning but unfortunately they trust their elders and authorities too much
Also the government have lots of chances to save the kids and there was even a Japan & US Navy near by ready to rescue but the SK government refused the offer, and they just let the kids drown, but what's more wicked is that the media reported that the children were saved
So the people who were qualified divers who wants to save the children didn't bother to go, and for those who knows the truth especially the local fisherman they tried to rescue to children as many as possible by forcibly breaking the glass windows were stopped by the authorities
And the so called "rescuers" by the SK Navy were just putting on show, by pretending they were saving the children but in reality they don't care at all, they even waited for a very very long time for the reporters to come to film them "saving" the children so that they can be viewed as heroes, while the fishermen and divers who saved few of the children while interrogated and was arrested. The government didn't even compensate them for their grave injuries and unfortunately one of the divers who saved a few children committed suicide due to the guilt of not being able to save all of them.

@@elizabethmunguia3876 I think people listen to other fans talk about it too much and get misinformed. People have the timeline all wrong. They could NOT have been blacklisted for the MV because it came out after the president had already been in impeached. The movement was already at large, most of Korea was against the president, she had already been impeached, and they were in the process of getting her out of office and in jail. The reason they probably didn't speak about the MV being directly related to it was to show support without taking away attention from the actual movement. They were not at ALL at risk by the time Spring Day came out.
Before the president was impeached, yes, which is why they were quiet about their donations. But this was longgg before. And BTS were already 'at risk' because of other songs and things they had said before, which is why they were found on the 'blacklists' that were leaked.
How about you actually listen to the people who made the song? They have all spoken about the lyrics many times. Also, have you seen Snowpiercer? The lyrics ("alone on the Snowpiercer") refers to a very specific scene of Snowpiercer. The main character is alone for the first time in 18 years and is devastated and breaks down crying. Because even though he comes from the 'slums' and is crowded in with too many people, being alone is worse than that. That's what the ONE lyric is referring too. It's not a continuing allusion throughout the song, it's a metaphor to that specific scene.
Also, look at the actual verses of the song. The first verse specifically relates to friendships that get harder over time. RM specifically mentioned it's about growing up and he wrote it about friends from school he no longer talks to. "Seeing each other now is so difficult," anyone with friends who slowly grow apart can relate to this.
Suga's verse is specifically about his friend, which he talks about more in his solo music. It's talking about people changing over time and how you just can't make it work anymore because you are too different.
How do either of this relate to the Sewol Ferry tragedy? They don't. The whole song is about grief and friendship, which makes it relatable to many situations as a whole. But actually breaking down the song lyric by lyric, it's easier to tell what it was originally written about. BUT that doesn't mean it still can't be related to other things. That's the beauty of music and interpretation. Just because the artist wrote about one thing doesn't mean it can't mean something else to someone else or other people.
Boy meets evil always moves me its such a poetic and powerful depiction of addiction. Ppl forget spring day does not have one meaning. It is about youth, about suicide, about societal issues, its about GRIEF in whatever form it fits for the listener. Yes the mv has significance pertaining to the sewol tragedy but whatever the listener gets from it is the point. It has references to so many different things just like all of bangtans art. Never apologize for feeling or interepting anything if theirs in the way you do, its meant to be appreciated that way.
If you are interested in learning more about the Sewol Ferry tragedy and the MV links to it, I'd highly recommend you checking out these 2 videos:
1) [2020] What you STILL DON'T KNOW about BTS SPRING DAY MV by Italian ARMY
2) The Sewol Ferry Tragedy by Rotten Mango
We would love to see you react to them but please, take your time while watching because they are heavy videos, we understand
There’s a behind the scenes bangtan bomb of how the “Save Me”mv was filmed. I think you would love it. It was filmed in one continuous shot. And they battled the elements, rainy and cold.
Save Me is still in my top 5 BTS songs ever.
The behind-the-scenes for it shows that the whole MV was one-shot. And there's some bloopers as well.
If you want a really good in-depth explanation about what happened in the Sewol Ferry incident, Rotten Mango made a YT video/podcast episode about it all, even including reports from Korean media/news outlets (the host is Korean and a native speaker). It's long, and it is meant to be a true-crime type of thing, but it's very good and covers everything from beginning to open-end.
I remember when the incident happened and it was a really somber year for Korean entertainment media. BTS has never come out to explicitly say that Spring Day is about this tragedy b/c the SK president at the time very regularly intimidated and pressured news sites and journalists to warp and suppress things (this is also covered in Rotten Mango's vid) as well as b/c they wanted to keep the song open to broader interpretations of loss and grief, but it is widely accepted amongst ARMY (and the SK public I believe) that the song was meant to comfort/express the feelings of the grieving families and survivors of the incident
It's very contextual, so don't worry about not automatically knowing! Your interpretation actually fits very well w/ BTS's overall lore storyline for the time it came out :)
Only when I watch Spring Day again did it sink in that they are all in the military now. I miss our 7 already, it is so hard especially for us ARMYs who haven been used to having them with us for 10 yrs. especially when they go live just so they could talk to us and see how we are doing. Nobody does is like them and nobody will every understand ARMY and BTS' bond unless you're in our purple cirle. SPRING DAY is the mother of all BTS songs.
Army is sad so we made Spring Day chart for their departure. Hit I-tunes #1 in many counties including the US… for the first time after its release in 2017.
Amazing reaction! It's been so long since I've seen some of these mv's, it almost felt like seeing them for the first time with the company of a friend 💕 also , in my personal opinion Boy meets Evil is a masterpiece, it's one of my favorite BTS songs (despite it being an intro) the combination of the instrumental, the lyrics, jhope's vocals and especially his dancing and delivery gives me the chills even years after seeing it for the first time
DG thank you for this reaction. I needed this and in processing the fact that i miss my 7.
Please don't be so hard on yourself. As other ARMYies have said the meaning behind the song and the video are different. Namjoon said that when he was writibg Spring day, it was like a longing for a loved one, a friend. (Either in spirit or someone who is distant)
This song and Young Forever are my current go to songs as we wait for our First Spring Day in June 2024 when Jin returns home to us.
I will leave my last bit of my essay of a comment in a lighter way: Boy Meets Evil was my first MV and Jhope reminds me all the time why he is part of my ult line in one video that changed everything for me.
All in all, thank yoh DG really. I needed this.
these songs hit diff now:')
Actually, you should make a second reaction of I need U, blood sweet and tears and Fake love after the knowledge you learn after diving into the BU, since for me, those (and other MVs of BTS) have so many layers that it is fine to have an idea the first time you watch them without knowing anything and then after knowing other layers of their song. Another reason why I love BTS soooo much
J-hope has a solo song called Aeroplane, that's why BTS named their group song Aeroplane part 2. Both are fire 💜
Every song it's beautiful 💜
Thank you for reacting to bts , I'll miss them already 😢
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to watch these beautiful videos that mean a lot to us, you have done a very good job
5:36 and now everyone has enlisted to the army by now 😢
hugs army
"Save Me" was in fact filmed as a one continuous shot, although it took a few takes to get it right
Spring Day absolutely rips my heart out, every time.
bts는 모든곡에 놀라울정도로 깊은 의미가있다 그들의 대부분 노래에는 억압과 부폐에 맞서고 자기자신을 사랑하라는 멧세지를 담고있고 RM이 전곡에 작사작곡에 영향을 미쳤다
Thank you for taking to time to learn the meaning of this song. It is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
Young Forever is a "farewell" kind of song. They always have present not only the (unfortunate) expiry date for "pop" singers, especially inside the idol industry (which still is ongoing, since people token stan other people as if they were interchangeable objects), but with time they've seen they are not that and we ARMY are not that. Even if casual listeners and other fans "move on" (a crazy concept if you think in western terms like "I've moved on from The Beatles and now I stan Aerosmith O_o, like here you like both, but are not invested in them as people, only as artists and also they don't share much unless tabloids get a glimpse at their lives or they do interviews with an assorted set of questions), but also they have present the possibility of burn out (Seesaw, Tear) and disbanding for their peace of mind.
Fortunately, it seems they've realized they are closer to the western concept of artists (while remaining foundational pillars of Kpop as we know it today) and they have realized they don't have to have comebacks after comebacks, that they can stay true to themselves and release music when they have it ready and thus last longer in this industry, par to any big names out there: Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and so on.
So, at a time where there were a lot of doubts already (the nonsensical hate has been going on since day 1 till now), this song was special for them. And one of the members who said it out loud was Jimin.
When ARMY sang this song to them at Wembley (surprise coordinated by BH), they were confused ("was this on the setlist?") and then overwhelmed by the meaning, thankful for the thought and the love we will always show them. If you haven't, there are some fancams of that moment :)
An easter egg to keep in mind: the "Dreams, hope, forward, forward" line appears here and there, even in conversation ^^
I think that you don't need to apologize for your interpretation of Spring Day. IMO the song is written so that even if you don't know about the hidden meaning, you can still feel the emotion in the song and the more straight-forward meaning that no hardship lasts forever and after days of darkness, after winter, a spring day will come and you'll be in a better place.
This song is unique.
It touched the hearts of the whole nation. The song is still charting in Skorea in top 10
There are many more symbols in the mv. There are many explanation videos of this.
The very interesting part is that the lyrics and MV seem not to match.
It is about missing friends Namjoon said.
But it is indirectly the friends who passed away in the tragedy.
Спасибо за такую подробную реакцию , вы потрясающий 🙏🏻💜💜💜
Just wanted to say how much I liked your interpretations on Spring Day before reading the info on the ferry. (The Sewol Ferry tragedy was even worse than told in the comment and I highly recommend you researching further for yourself. Italian ARMY has made a great explanation video that I'm sure everyone is suggesting, for good reason. This song hasn't left Korean music charts since it's release, and is called the Queen. The choreo also reflects the tragedy.) HOWEVER, BTS has never confirmed this interpretation, and there is some difference between the lyrics and MV, giving room to remember this is such a multi-layered group that other interpretations CAN be supported. I loved your interpretation looking through the lens of the storyline, though there were some inaccuracies in the analysis by that Harvard source you used (among them, they ignored Demian. That wasn't Lucifer but Abraxas, a god neither fully evil or good. I'll screw up the explanation so look it up.) The points you made not being so offtrack, just a little too focused on Judaio/Christian values/worldview, but seriously great for contemplating storyline and other layers. BTS themselves have a light hearted version of the choreo released one Festa that would seem nearly sacrilegious if there was ONLY the ferry layer interpretation of the song. Thanks for sharing your ideas before getting caught by ARMY dogma💜
I really enjoy your reactions. Thank you so much 💜
Thank you so much for your effort💜
Abraxas is the Winged Figure
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. i love hearing ur thoughts. Good connection with Airplane pt. 2. =0] The Jimin album was all pandemic connected. So he was drinking because he had nothing really to do for months. All their plans were canceled. They had to think about what now? A lot. So the drinking makes sense. I love this song a lot. Feels. Love the maze imagery too. They have a song called Love Maze. And i think maybe it's a double meaning u know. The acting is so good. They look so pretty in this one. The maze of life is what comes to my mind. An army pointed out that them being upside down and than as V walks they all on the same side was very important. For Youth one of the newer songs from BTS has young forever army singing at the start of the song because the song is for army in whole. Also, Jimin has young forever tats on each of his elbows. The song is very special to him. Recently the guys sing this song to us and we sing it together and it makes me tear up. The song encompasses our youth together. And them leaving their youth and going into the military growing and maturing more and leaving us behind hurts. Being apart hurts. But is necessary. My feeling are hard to explain, sigh. I am one of the newer army but being an empath lets me feel and know more than my years with BTS. My belief within storyline so far is that V is alive. I also agree with another reactor about the meaning of that upside down image. This is fun. Excited to hear ur take on the Wings films. Some of them are really uncomfortable to me. Great acting and imagery though. Have a good week. -NY USA 2019 Army💜 #YouAreEnough
Good reaction(Save me), ty. Yes, it's one take! Great job spotting this! There are Bangtan Bombs for behind the scenes pls check them out. =0) Suga is very gifted. He is one of a very few fast rappers. Some ppl say he is the Eminem of Korea. But RM can rap dang fast too. You will see when you get more into his solo stuff. Never knew about the reverse order of the notes, and the rappers going in reverse. Very cool. Suga and J-hope are SOPE ME as a unit. We love SOPE!!! They so funny together and sound amazing back to back. =0) The boy meets _ at the end of the Save Me MV was basically a teaser for the future drop of their track "boy meets evil." They used to do this often in their older songs. "Boy meets evil" is a J-hope solo song. It is also an intro to their Wings album. Or should I say The "boy meets-" is actually the concept of the wings album. The full sentence is "boy meets evil". Wings album is based on a book called "Demian." The music video for it is pretty cool. Very deep song. Hobi is very talented. This song got a partner song called I'm Fine. Pls give it a listen too. I love in I'm fine how the choreography matches the lyrics. It's so beautiful. Both songs are bops. I love them and feel very connected to each one. I am a cancer survivor and the songs echo what I said to myself and others while I was battling cancer with chemo. I am in remission for almost 5 years now but the memories are still there from the trauma of the experience. Jimin gets picked on by the other members of his emotional choreo from this song. It's so funny but also shoot poor Jimin. lol. Them messing with him about this has been going on for years it's a running gag. lol.
Good reaction(Boy Meets Evil), ty. This one made me appreciate Hobi more. Jimin bias, Suga wrecker & OT7. But I love dance and dancing to the beat. Hobi did that perfectly. He was on point with everything. Very impressive. And what is interesting is that I did not find him attractive at the start either. Now I love all of them. Hobi was hot in this. =0p This could be one of his 1st solo songs within BTS.
Spring Day é uma música muito importante na Coreia, há 2 vídeos explicando todo o significado do vídeo e da letra, é incrivelmente triste porque é sobre a tragédia da balsa de Seul em 2014 onde muitas crianças morreram por causa da corrupção e da resposta tardia do governo coreano. Está muito bem explicado e nós, ARMY, teremos muito interesse em assistir com você se quiser. Adoro suas reações!
Thank you for your reaction to spring day, but I think you should watch the spring day mv explanation video to have a better understanding of the MV as well as the lyrics!
Explanation videos do not show a good understanding of the lyrics. The lyrics are very personal to RM and to Suga, which Suga has expanded on in his solo albums. Explanation videos incorrectly connect the song to the tragedy. It's the MV that was used as a memorial, but the song itself was not written for or about it.
There is a explanation video about Spring Day from Italian ARMY, and its the best explaining one that everyone who listens to this song, must see..
Pleasssse react to boy meet evil
Mama 2016 with jimin💜💜💜

Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. I love this song. It's so beautiful. I did not cry when I heard the song or saw the video for the 1st time. It did touch my heart though. One of my fav's for sure. The first time I heard the song was in Dear Class Of 2020. If you have not watched pls do. It's awesome. I loved this performance a lot. Spring Day for me is a sad hopeful song. I get melancholy feels from it. I hope u watch BTS Spring Day MV EXPLAINED by bulletproof vibes. It's so good. There are a few explanation videos. Some have more detail than the others. The comment u read summaries the explanation vids but a few things they changed. This song is a Queen because it's on the charts so many years. Stores play it in Korea because ppl want to remember and never forget. BTS made this one to help ppl remember. I think that's just amazing! After the guys all enlisted recently USA army charted the song to #1 for the 1st time ever in 6 yrs. Cool, right. Yes, Yet to Come has echoes of Spring Day and other MVs. The song is for army so only army will truly get the meaning. This is why many cry watching that MV. The carousel says YOU NEVER WALK ALONE. This is an album name it is also their msg to army from long ago. stay safe. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜

The song itself is not about Spring Day, but about loss and grief. The video, however is about the Sewol ferry tragedy. It was only confirmed by BTS in late 2020 in an interview. There is another explanation, by Italian ARMY that is even more heartbreaking. Italian ARMY's explanation goes more into the actual tragedy and includes footage from the tragedy, from the parents begging someone to save their children and even a clip from inside the sinking ship, where a man can be heard making an announcement that strongly urges the passengers on the ferry to stay put. The video also goes into the cause of the tragedy and it's aftermath. If you guys are strong enough to watch something like that, I highly recommend it, but it's okay if you aren't able to. That explanation video is so detailed and heart wrenching that there are a number of people who can't watch the whole thing. There are also even more details in the MV that indicate that it represents the Sewol ferry sinking than are pointed out in this video. The boys even performed Spring Day on an award show one time, and the stage was made to look as if it was on the bottom of the sea.

💜🙏Thank you for sharing your heartfelt reaction to Spring Day...... I want to share with you a comment to another reactor from a survivor of the Sewol disaster.. I would like you to hear from him just how BTS has healed him through this song and the messages they have: His name is Chilo Abellon - and this is his public comment in full - unedited - from 2 years ago..........
"I remembered when they rescuing us its so tragic when you see your classmates/friends stuck asking and hearing them scream for help, the screaming and voices of people asking for help while the ships is sinking the scream slowly vanished. When you can’t help them because the water got deeper and deeper while they rescue us slowly. The time that i got rescued only 3 of us survived, my two classmates and i in our and my other classmates stuck in the ships hoping they’re still alive but when the time i heard the news that they’re all gone. It slowly sinking in that all my friends and the other class are gone and will never comeback. I feel guilty when I survived, I’m thinking am i lucky? Or is it not right that i was alive and not them? Do i deserve to live?.
Feeling depressed, having suicidal thoughts, every night you can’t sleep because i keep hearing those scream a scream people needing a help but you can’t because your weak and got broken bones. Everything time I struggled to see what life is all about, thinking what if all of my friends survived and they with me survived. It would be dream to see that happening. I struggled to make a good life that i can be proud of because of that incident happened but when i found out about BTS my life changed me because of their music they changed my life the way that i can be proud of and I started loving myself by little by little and finally the day I realize life is so short and the incident happened 7years ago impacted my life to be a better person and all of our hardships are just a big task for us to make them done and the outcome will be 100times better the incident happened 7years ago thought me so many things.
The biggest one is don’t forget they might be gone but don’t forget them put them on your heart and like life all of your hardship and your mistakes will not lose or fail you it’s always a win win situation because we always learn from them. Spring day is my number 1 fav song of BTS because I reminisce the things happened 7years ago while watching the mv and it always help me to keep going in life and do not give up on things that i want to achieve
- My name is Chilo one of the survivors of the sewol ferry incident."
I truly hope he does not mind me passing on his public comment - but this best shows the power of BTS message.
The worst thing about the disaster - the captain and crew fled the ship the morning 9.35 - the ferry did not sink until the night - they left the warning to "not move and stay still" playing on a loop through the ship. Only the children that disobeyed the warning survived. The others drowned as they were so ingrained to listen to authority. The civilian boats that attempted to rescue people were stopped by the coast guard as people would discover the boat was illegally overloaded.
Parents on the shore were receiving desperate calls and texts from their children begging for help. And the coastguard did nothing. The only rescue the coastguard made that day was the captain and crew... The people that got rescued were rescued by fishing vessels that got there first before they were stopped...3 years the ferry lay at the bottom as the Govt would not raise it for fear of discovering the truth.... They found video footage taken on mobile phones that were recovered of children wishing their families goodbye. One of the civilian rescue divers later committed suicide after having to recover so many children's bodies knowing that he could have saved them but was forcibly stopped.
As a parent I could not comprehend having to live through such a thing. Horrific that your own government would perpetrate and then cover up such a incident... jailing dissenters for protesting. It was proven that there were high officials with financial interests in the ferry. The president colluded with them to bury the truth and hamper investigations... 10000 people in the public eye (reporters, artists, etc) put on a Govt blacklist for speaking about it.
BTS went and paid respects to the parents of the victims in 2014 when the tragedy occured. No Cameras - No fanfare - just doing what was right...They also donated approx $100,000 (that year they only earnt $300,000 - they gave 1/3 of their earnings) to help the parents in their fight for justice.... We only found out about the donation years later as one of the parents was sick of all the hatred BTS was always getting and wanted others to know just how decent they are.
The MV, The album cover, The choreography all relate back to the Sewol. But The song is about missing anyone you love and are separated from. They have since been singing Spring Day during the pandemic as the world is now longing for a spring day. Spring Day has never left the music charts, to this day it is still in the top 100 charts.... almost 7 years later and this song still speaks to people everywhere.
I highly recommend ItalianARMY explanation video "What you still don't know about BTS Spring Day MV" but it is very hard to watch. Footage of the parents begging the coast guard to save their children shattered me.... She actually travelled to South Korea to speak with the parents and compile the video.
Sorry this is so long - but I really wanted to pass his comment and information to you relating to your Spring Day Explained video.... with posting your reaction you have helped keep the memory of Sewol alive and maybe others who do not know of it will learn of the tragedy. Thank you for sharing your journey, and helping to spread BTS message.. You are a really nice couple. Sending greetings and love from Australia... BORAHAE💜 #WeNeverWalkAlone

Olá você já viu o Tiny desk concert com bts? Os meninos cantam Save Me e Spring day é muito bom👍🏼👌🏼🫰🏼

Wold be great if you react to Indigo album and Jack in the box from Jhope, and the mixtapes too 🥰🥰🥰🥰
