The 52 Hertz whale is the most elusive whale. It’s song is at a frequency that other whales cannot understand, so it is often alone.Meaninful communication with other whales is impossible.
So now you'll understand why BTS and ARMY have sort of adopted a purple whale as our mascot. :) It shows up in some of their music videos and they even sold a stuffed purple whale on their merch shop. 💜 Whalien 52 is a real whale that sings at 52 Hertz, a frequency no other whale can hear.
I think many people came to BTS for the good music, dancing and handsome guys. But they become ARMY for the lyrics and the genuine, good mannered, funny characters of these 7 young men!! 💖 🤗
I really enjoyed this reaction! I feel like you were starting to see the benefits of reading multiple or trusted translations. It really can make a huge difference in how the song hits you. I have been pretty slow to the game in valuing good lyrics, and I'm a foreign language instructor! Keep up the good work! 💜
You need to react to Let Go and Outro Tear, both of these were written during a time when they were talking about disbanding in 2018. Outro Tear live from Wembly has so much raw feeling during the performance. Let Go live stage mix, just the dancing and the feeling put into the performance, knowing the story behind the song, made me cry. These are the most amazing men, artists, song writers, dancers, performers, human beings period.
Thanks for doing this song! I’ve heard it numerous times, however as you know sometimes you fall in love with the song even when you don’t know the language. For whatever reason I never looked up the lyrics to this one, and you are the first reactor I’ve watched do this song. Thanks for looking up the meaning on the air. Now I know what they are saying as I sing and dance to this song while working in my hobbies( FYI I’m a retired 60ish old lady😃 who considers herself ARMY for these boys! Love their music, meanings and storyline. I would love to be their grandma!! Lol sorry I just get excited about learning a new meaning of a song! Thank you!!! Still would love you to do First Love by Suga!
The only translations that matter are from doolset bangtan, which also include Korean colloquialisms, metaphors and the meanings/context. Most of those colour coded lyrics are mistranslated and oftentimes pure nonsense, especially from Jaeguchi and Lemoring. They usually just google translate and don't bother about accuracy; their primary objective is monetary views!
Yes, this is exactly why people advise against lyric videos and promote using doolset bangtan instead. Some reactors read the doolset lyric translations before, some watch a performance (with or without lyrics), then pause and read the lyrics, others just go ahead and use lyric videos knowing they may not be accurate. My personal preference is for reactors to watch performances (most have eng subtitles and can be found by adding "eng sub" to the search term on RUclips, so that at least you're not totally lost about what the song is saying) because it is WAY more interesting to watch, then delve into the lyrics using doolset bangtan if they want to focus on the meaning of a song.
Another fun fact- the 2021 documentary The Lonliest Whale: The Search for 52 found (spoiler alert) more than 1 Hertz 52 for the first time. There is data of them communicating. Whalien is lonely no more!
They continue to amaze me too. Doolset Bangtan are the best for lyrics. After 2 years I just clicked that Doolset Bangtan means 2 3 Bangtan, which is how they introduce themselves. DOH!🤣
Great reaction, as others have said it is worth using the Doolset lyrics as you get the correct translations and then the lyrics just blow your mind. They are geniuses and worth hearing. It takes things to a whole other level. Of course, you can remain just on the surface and still enjoy their music, but to me you don't seem the kind to settle for that! 🤣💜 Maybe use the Doolset lyrics first with us and then listen to the music? However suits, I'm looking forward to more! Borahae.
I am very happy every time I see you dig out their works like a treasure hunter who opens a treasure chest, and I also click on your video like a treasure hunter who opens a treasure chest, happy that another interesting soul has discovered my treasure boys .
Pluto is a star so are they. Lonely whale, can they shine since he's a star blocked off by a wall of loneliness. Or if he reaches the surface, will he shine? Anyways it's how I understand. I haven't looked up meanings for this song yet, just listened to it. Really nice listen
FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T KNOW The behind meaning of ""Whalien 52"" In 1989, scientists discovered a whale which sang at a frequency of 52 Hz (most whales sing at a frequency of between 10 and 40 Hz) meaning it’s calls possibly couldn’t be heard by other whales ..... I don’t take credit for this but a bts army explained this fully on her Twitter account, sorry I’m not that technical but I was going to send you the link. And yes it is a metaphor for BTS! This is just one of my favorite BTS song❤️
because it has higher frequency than the vocalizations of most whales. Despite of its frequency, it kept on singing, travelling thousands of miles across the ocean.
Thank you for the video! Requesting Moonchild by RM, the official video has good english subtitles! Yeah, each translator will translate differently. Specially with BTS that likes to do word play... that's why we always refer you to doolset hahha it's not that we want to be annoying (sorry!), it's just that the blogger really does their research and even tells you when something can be translated differently! But yeah, if you don't want to do that DIAL and Zathy Farhani's channels are the best you can find on RUclips :)
You need to hear “Sea” not “Seasaw,” it’s a hidden song on one of their albums. The lyrics are shared on color coded RUclips videos. It’s one of my most favorite songs.
Enjoy that their lyrics are really cool to you, also. I suggest Paradise, Truth Untold, House of Cards. The last two have captions, Live performances. Good luck, enjoy!
When you listen to My Universe, the new Coldplay collaboration, listen for the lonely whale call at (0:17) and then again at the end (3:10) kind of signaling a reply "you are not alone". Nothing is coincidental in any of BTS's productions.
The reason why this song is called "Whalien 52" is that (in case of no one knew this) the frequency of a normal blue whale is a 10 to a 39 and 39 is the max frequency a whale can hear up to. This whale BTS is talking about is this whale has a frequency of 52 and that isn't normal for a blue whale, so that's why they call it "Whalien" because it's 2 words combined together: "Whale" (animal) and "Alien" (an unknown specie(s) from far away.
우리탄이들 이 무슨생각으로 이노래를 만들었는지 이해하시는것 같네요 방탄이라는 이름을 알리기위해 한국의 아주작은마을까지 정말 닥치는대로 다녔죠 방탄을 써포트해줄수없는 소속사라 방송출연은 거의 할수없어 탄이들은 이런노래를 부르며 버티고있었던거죠 언젠가 방탄의 목소리가 어디에서도 들릴수있기를 실오라기같은 희망을 노래한거죠
Still waiting for your reaction to DKDKTV's explanation on BTS' song UGH! You can watch it here ruclips.net/video/Cq3nGiu0_gI/видео.html&ab_channel=DKDKTV
One of the reasons why ARMY doesn't like the colour coded lyrics is because they are rushed and doesn't fully translate the song accurately and thus takes away from the overall impact of the messages BTS is trying to convey. If you want to continue to use them to get a gist of what the song is about that's fine but as you saw there are better translations that convey the meaning of their words/messages better. With Korean there is always room for interpretation when it is being translated to English, so seeking out other translations are great too. Doolsetbangtan is great because they translate the lyrics as well as provide cultural background information.
ARMY: look at doolset lyrics cuz the lyric videos are shit Him: intentionally keeps watching lyric videos Also him: looks at explanation and goes "well that wasn't in here" with a surprised tone ARMY: facepalm 🤦🏼♀️ (All love tho here I just really hope you start reading good translations to do the song and the artist justice instead of reducing it to google translations just because it's more convenient...)
nOW, THATS why we said do not ONLY rely on these lyric vids. u can watch the color coded first BUT PLEASE open doolset (its a website in case u dont know) after that. other than a more correct translation, they also explained all those double, triple meaning or cultural context (something that us non korean wouldnt know). ik u can take music with whatever meaning u want, but when the artists did stated what its mean and u ignored it but then say "i think what they wanna say ......" like nooo. they wanna say something else. sorry for the long ass rant. this not me hating tho. im just frustrated, sorry

I never expected their writing to be this deep! I have so much appreciation for them and their Army. Amazing! 💜
Another really great song is Pied Piper. Great lyrics, and gorgeous music. And deep meaning, as usual.
BTS are Poets on the beat.
I really enjoyed this reaction! I feel like you were starting to see the benefits of reading multiple or trusted translations. It really can make a huge difference in how the song hits you. I have been pretty slow to the game in valuing good lyrics, and I'm a foreign language instructor! Keep up the good work! 💜
I am so happy you appreciate their writing. All they do is true art
These whaliens voices reach all over the world even the other side of earth now😌
I am so glad someone who is truly appreciates BTS's artistry.
They are not average so called Idols but they are multi talented artists of the world.

RM no longer goes by his monster moniker. He has said he is now RM for Real Me. That or Namjoon (his real given name).

I never realized that it means 2 3! Thanks for explaining that; I never understood where it came from.
Lol, omg. I never made this realization
@@16050390 i know, it was seriously an OMG, I am so dense moment after hearing RM say Dool Set and the guys say Bangtan thousands of times 🤣
lol i realized that earlier when I started clicking to her blog 😂
i was like "Dul, Set! Bang! Tan! Annyeong haseyo Bangtan Sonyeondan imnida" 🤣
@@Funtan_Sonyeondan 🙄🤣
These guys are genius lyricists,
This song is so brilliant; I love it just musically too but the writing is so great
bts' pen game is something else...
Thanks for deep heartfelt reaction !
Once you hear whalien 52 and 00:00, you deserve to watch Dream on MV animated.
I bet you will love TinyTan too!

Kore is the name of the whale that Jin drew that they use all the time. You find it when you look, a little Easter egg 💜
This song is amazing

RM doesn't go by Rap monster anymore so you can stop calling him that.

Do BTS BORN SINGER, it's their version of J COLE BORN SINNER
ARMY: look at doolset lyrics cuz the lyric videos are shit
Him: intentionally keeps watching lyric videos
Also him: looks at explanation and goes "well that wasn't in here" with a surprised tone
ARMY: facepalm 🤦🏼♀️
(All love tho here I just really hope you start reading good translations to do the song and the artist justice instead of reducing it to google translations just because it's more convenient...)
yeah, and it's a website not a phone app so I am not sure what his issue is with using it?
nOW, THATS why we said do not ONLY rely on these lyric vids. u can watch the color coded first BUT PLEASE open doolset (its a website in case u dont know) after that. other than a more correct translation, they also explained all those double, triple meaning or cultural context (something that us non korean wouldnt know). ik u can take music with whatever meaning u want, but when the artists did stated what its mean and u ignored it but then say "i think what they wanna say ......" like nooo. they wanna say something else.
