every time i hear docskim's story about wildflower im brought to tears like you can hear it in his voice how much it impacted him. Namjoon touches so many people with his art its overwhelming for just me to think about so idk how he does it like pharell asked him about its hard to comprehend
same. All the members (especially RM) have touched so many people's lives. It is amazing to see and hear how the members have inspired others around them and who they have worked with.
Did you hear Docskim's new song he released called Breather? I just linked it in another comment, but I'll include it here too. I believe I read somewhere that he called it Wildflower's sister. It's really beautiful. ruclips.net/video/4SbN1whuO0o/видео.html The impact these men have is so moving to witness. 💜
Same. Like Docskim has contributed so much and thinking of him retiring kinda hit me. Like NO, we need you. YOU need music. I’m glad he isn’t retiring 💜
(Source : KaZura⚫) : "He did THIS song with Park Jiyoon. There's no way this is a coincidence. Park Jiyoon had been in the industry since she was 12, she then, at 18, released her legendary song "Coming Of Age Ceremony". The song was about her throwing away her innocence/losing her virginity, but then regretting it. Everything about the song was sensual. The choreography, the lyrics, the outfits, her voice... She received very negative attention, was made the object of disgusting rumors, had a huge fight with her very religious parents while JYP, her agency, didn't do enough to protect her. Her image was forever attached to that song no matter what she did. Now this song is about loving yourself and stopping to look at your past because you did everything you could back then". A beautiful song with a beautiful message.
Loved this Thank you You are doing such a great job because you are so genuine and you are giving it all the it takes to explore the works of rm and the other members 💜💜💜
I don't think Park Jiyoon's song was about what this text says. It was about becoming legally adult and convincing an older guy who knew her since she was a child that she wasn't one anymore. There is no reply to that "call" on the song, so we can't know if there was any advance from the guy, or any regret afterwards, it just hints at her wanting it as a possibility (and that was part of the controversy, too)
Nah when pharell said ARMY don’t like cussing, Namjoon corrected him. He knows we love it when he says “make some motherfucking noise!” 😂 I was actually in LA for night 1 of PTD LA in November 2021 (their first concert since 2019) and absolutely lost it when Namjoon said that 😂😂
when namjoom talks English he sounds fluent but what you have to keep in mind is that he said he feels actually very uncomfortable speaking English and he struggles with it. his English sounds perfect but he isn't able to express himself the way he can in his mother tongue, reading translated interviews he did in Korean is always more insightful than interviews he did in English
RM hints at it in this interview, but you're joining ARMY at an interesting time, TribeLoui. This is what they have been calling Chapter 2 of BTS. Last year, on June 13 a video dropped. June 13 is their anniversary, we've always traditionally had "Festa" annually, a celebration of their anniversary and every June 13 a video of them sitting together and talking drops...except this time, they spoke about needing to take a short break. That they were so confused and hurting and debating and they decided that they are going to take a short pause from group activities and focus on solo projects for the time being. It was a very dramatic time, admittedly. Stocks were falling, media outlets were publishing that BTS were going on hiatus the next day,,,we had members coming online to say that they never said they were breaking up, don't misconstrue them, that kind of thing. And then, BTS hold their "last for the time being" concert in Busan, a technically free concert! It was amazing. Adding more context, the South Korean government has been teasing BTS military exemption for years, playing cat and mouse, just overall being annoying. A lot of political drama again (here you see RM say that he was confused as to whether he was a diplomat or what,,,, we all got the feeling that BTS had grown to something almost beyond their reach, which was what made them feel so pressured. They didn't want the political drama. They were feeling burnt out and lacking creative direction, it seems) So there was news that a final decision regarding BTS military exemption would fall that week. Technically, the concert was held as part of a bid for Busan to rep a "World Expo" and so government officials were in the audience, there were rumors that they would make their decision based on the results of the concert or whatever. Which was stupid, the Busan government wasn't prepared, didn't prepare despite several warnings that BTS would more than sellout, especially with them making tickets free too. So then BTS do the unexpected (tho perhaps not surprising) -- they jump the gun; the day after the concert, an official notice is first sent to Weverse, to ARMYs before the media, that BTS would be going to the military one by one, starting with Jin and that they plan to reconvene in 2025. They were going in on their own terms, almost, taking back the reigns of their destiny, it felt As time has shown, the "break" hasn't been much of a "break".. they've been pushing out music, pedal to the metal...they all clearly still love each other,,and they seem to take that 2025 date very seriously. And speaking of RM, he seems to have regained that mojo, maybe! Not that he lost it,,,but he was talking about how he was afraid that music wouldn't bring him the same feelings it did before....but after releasing Indigo, it feels like a fire has been lit under his bum. He keeps threatening us with updates on how he's leaving work at 4 am, how he was super productive today...he went on live 2 days ago, speaking about how he's practically living in his studio. Someone commented in the chat "Don't work too hard" and he responded " 'Don't work too hard?!' "Don't work too hard?!' I don't have the time! I have to, I was intending to go same time as Hobi, but now I've postponed my entry to complete the music I'm working on right now, but I don't have time to rest now" I'm very proud of them. They took a huge risk....traditionally, boy bands don't live long term, but they seem committed to making it work, and they're forging a road-not-taken by allowing themselves to grow separately to grow stronger. It seems like a good time for them. For ARMYs, it's like content×7
The way govt always remember bts exist when they need it breaks my heart like imagine your own country does this things to you :/ they take bts too granted
Do you know why No. 2 makes you cry? There is a reason why namjoon chose Park Jiyoon. Look into it someday when you are free. Each featuring artist has a purpose in Indigo. From Erykah's "You keep the silence 'fore you do some art, You be a human till the death of you now" in Yun as opening track to Park Jiyoon's "No looking back, No" in No.2 as closing track. RM is the most Humane person I've ever come across! He's a genius.
12:24 majority of army do not care 😭 we actually really enjoy when bts curse bc they're grown men and we dont want them to filter themselves. but i guess outsiders are kinda overly cautious when it comes to bts and army bc they dont wanna piss army off lmfao
theres something beautiful about namjoon asking 2 women who once had peaked in their prime days, who had walked a path no one had and seniors in their own music scene, to be with him to create this beautiful album that is Indigo. and the way the track positioned Erykah in the beginning to sing a hook about persuading listeners to never forget about their humanity, guiding us all into Indigo in a calm but emotionally strong way, and then Jiyoon at the end together with namjoon himself to remind us to also dont look back in your life too much and let go of regrets GAHH INDIGO WILL BE A TIMELESS CLASSIC
Whenever I watch RM's interviews I always get reminded why fans call him Mr. President. This man is a poet. And he did say if he didn't become a musician, he would've pursued being a poet instead. And when he speaks, it's like we read a book, not a movie, but a book. A book in which we can imagine the world he is seeing on our own perspective.
The interview with pharrel... its just so monumental. And I love that you watched the indigo magazine film. You got to see all the faces behind the album. Pdogg is just such a legend. He is the dude that worked on jimins album. In a way he is a part of bts and their legacy.
Thank u so much. Most of the youtubers send these to patreon and I hate it. Because my country won't let me pay. Thank u for this. I respect you. Waiting for RM live performances of Indigo. Tiny desk RM performance, live weverse, live at Dia Beacon at museum and RM concert live Seoul at Rolling hall with 200 lucky ARMY.
In the written version of the RM/Pharrell interview (in Rolling Stones) they said they are working on something together, so we’re looking forward to whenever that drops😁
By the way, I know a bunch of us have been hyping up Tablo and his group Epik High (I really hope you look into them one day). Fun fact: Tablo is also smart af with an IQ of 160.
With Joon, you just can't help but salute him. Just the overwhelming feeling of respect I have for him, the adoration that keeps piling up everyday. Just love him man.
From this interview..u can tell RM is a thinker..he's smart...he has depth...he's artistic n creative..hence he's also into the art world. He expresses himself in this interview so well.. asking good questions also
this interview was actually like chopped into three things, this video, an article, and a podcast, they all have a lot of overlapping parts but the article and the podcast have separate parts that they didn’t show here, you don’t have to react to them here but you might want to check them out on your own time 💜
@@kathy6149 the interview on RollingStones is titled "What If I Don’t Like Music Anymore?": A Wildly Honest Conversation Between BTS’ RM and Pharrell Williams
@@kathy6149 the podcast is "RM + Pharrell Williams: Rolling Stones's Musicians On Musicians - Special Series", if I mention the platform apparently it gets hidden/deleted
There are people/celebrities who are scared of Army for our size and impact.There is a fear about getting on our bad side and potentially losing your career if you disrespect BTS. Swearing? Nah, we love to fucking swear! 😆 Most of the time we're pretty chill, and we get excited sharing our collective love for BTS.
Don't be afraid or feel embarrassed to show your emotions,I feel so hopeful and motivated when I listen to indigo as well and cry at the end,it feels like heavy burden has been lifted off my heart and it ends with resonating with last song "No.2" it's ok,you did your best,so don't look back no more. I am so thankful to Namjoon 💜💜
A few random, unrelated thoughts. One tiny thing I really loved. When Joon is first talking about Erykah Badu, the translation says he calls her a queen. But that's not the word he uses - he calls her a king, each time. I'm not sure why they translated it differently - we all know very well how mindfully Namjun chooses his words, and I love this choice. 'Change' by RM and Wale is one of my favorite songs. Period. I had such an interesting moment of connection, purely because you included the Indigo film back-to-back with the Pharrell interview. I noticed how often Pharrell talked about channeling others in his writing and production work. And then, did you notice, too? When Pdogg was talking about Lonely & Hectic, he said more than once that he was trying to be RM as he wrote. I just got such a kick out of that similarity of approach. I really think that's cool. And finally, as Docskim has decided to continue with producing, he released an MV for a track named 'Breather' recently under the name Mikscod. I believe he called it Wildflower's sister, and I just wanted to pass it along for you to listen to here - it's absolutely beautiful: ruclips.net/video/4SbN1whuO0o/видео.html You SPOILED us today, man. Thank you so much for the reaction, and I can't wait to check out your RM live performance reactions. What a freaking treat. Take good care, and thanks for continuing to bring us along on your journey. 💜💜
we don't care about cursing and the members curse alot, I'm not sure where Pharrell got that from, but ARMY is often viewed as "young teenage girls" so that could be why.
This interview was legit one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard/read/watched from a BTS member. It’s been so frustrating seeing journalists not as him and the group questions like this and go for the standard “who do you want to collab with”, etc… this interview between the two of them is one of my favorites and I’ll forever be grateful that namjoon and Pharrell was able to sit down and talk.
You are deep into boraworld now 😭 Remember that it's okay to shed tears, even if you tear up watching their every content ITS OKAY, we are humans and we are BTS army we are the real ones 💜 that's how unique our bond with BTS is
As if I couldn't like you more, you start to search about Yun Hyongkeun's biography and art 💜 you are a real one Edit: 1-2 it's the first time I lost :c you didn't trick me with the scissors but I lost focus for the other two rounds
I loved watching this. This week has been amazing so far. I can see that you are really connecting to Namjoon and his music. He is a source of comfort for so many of us.
I'm so glad you found BTS & by default, our amazing RM aka Kim Namjoon. It's obvious that you were meant to be here - so a belated welcome to you. Love your reactions - your insights are gems! 💜 Can't wait to watch your 'Live in Seoul' reaction!!! I always think back to Festa 2022 when BTS told us they were going to cease group activities - was heartbroken at the time, esp. as RM shared his feelings so openly with us back then. To see now though where their 'Chapter 2' has taken them so far - beautiful!!! Always feel privileged to be an ARMY & to have these 7 amazing young men & their music in my life.
I really hope you react to suchwita with tablo because rm and suga are both fans of epik high(tablo's band name - has been active for 20years) and started rapping listening to these guys .
You are my current favorite reactor. You always come across as genuine and sincere in your expression and comments. Also thank you for putting so much thought into their music! 💜💜
This entire voyage between these two instructive and essential videos has been such a joy. Your deep appreciation of what you’re hearing and seeing is a pleasure to watch. Joon is a person of such quality that the calibre of people around him is staggering. Pharrell being a bit of a sympathetic mentor, some very well-established Korean artists as well as new voices and a queen all happy to work with him. Docskim’s story still tears me up, as he wrote one of the most important songs in their entire discography, Outro: Tear, and then to learn he almost gave it all up in an ugly twist of irony, but thank goodness music saved him in the end. And park JiYoon’s own professional story, in addition to her sweet voice, made her the obvious choice for No. 2. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming installments of Join’s focus 💜
12:24 no i swear 90% of us don’t gaf😭😭 but there’s some cringey ass fans who treat them as if they’re children. which for us normal army can be really frustrating to see those cringey army😭😭.
Omg....I saw the thumbnail and was so excited to see this interview! Again, automatic thumbs up before I even pressed play. I am in the kitchen , cooking for my kids and am thrilled to have this play and keep me company. Yesterday I was folding laundry while watching Run BTS with you. I've said it before and I will say it again---I just love this channel. Let's go, ARMY and the Tribe!! 💜💜
I love how you made note of like 10 new songs or artists to check out while watching this interview. namjoon would be so happy to hear that. He loves sharing and amplifying the artists from his community or frequency, as you can probably tell.
So good to revisit this promotion material and I really appreciate that you had the interest to watch it and to listen ❤ Indigo is an album I listen to several time a week, RM voice is like my best friend... Voice meaning the sound, the feeling, the story, the mind work... A long time ago, when the troubles with rap and idol music, he said he got into this because "I wanted my voice to be heard by many" and I always felt it like that. ❤
SO glad you reacted to this! RM's Indigo promotion really led us to having the best most introspective interviews. You should definitely check out the Zach Sang interview as well.
Honestly I enjoy your long videos because I know you're serious about RM's music. When Indigo came out, there was so much songwriting and production content that even ARMY had a hard time catching up, but you're watching a 40-minute video of him talking about his music until the sky turned into an indigo color as a new fan...I appreciate it. 💜
This is one my favorite videos of yours, how I would love to have a friend like you who truly understands bts and loves the music and its meaning, how we could just sit and discuss it. Thank you for the reaction!
when you speak the notes you've written, I realise again and again how articulate you are!!! Would love to have you share these in written somewhere too!!! Like your freestyles are so fun as well!!! Tribe I'm serious you have literature in you
As always W reaction and commentary! The amount of times I've watched these 2 vids when they came is crazy! Just dropping knowledge and made me reflect on so many areas of myself
I know this reaction is about Joon, and I'm here for it. Love RM. But I know that Yoongi is next, and I know you will love his music too. So, PSA, yoongi (Agust D) is going on tour starting late April in the US. This is likely the last tour from a group member until 2026. I can see Kook doing a summer festival, but this is probably the last tour until they are back together. Just don't want you to miss out because you didn't know. 😊
Not gonna lie.......... I click that like button b4 I start the video!! Lol😂 I already know it's gonna be a great video!! Thank you for being open minded, true to your reaction and just a blessing for us O.G. A.R.M.Y to go down the BTS rabbit hole again like it's our 1st time ova again!! Blessings and success to you my young brotha!! Bordahae 💜🫰🏼
27:39 FACTS! I am so amazed by how his brain works and even though english isn’t his first language he still speaks so eloquently! best leader Namjoon!
I've heard about you on Twitter :) and I'm really glad you listened to this album "magazine" documentary. It speaks a lot about how much you've come to appreciate Joon as a human and an artist who inspires people. I love that you've been so open-minded about BTS as a whole and that you've come to love Namjoon and his music!
I loved every bit of this reaction. I’m inspired to create art again from this. I’m an artist, painting, sketching mostly fine arts. I learned graphic design but my heart wasn’t in it as much. I haven’t painted in 4 years. Life definitely took over and I’ve been creatively blocked and unmotivated, but still inspired by my surroundings to have creative ideas of what to do next. I was grateful to still have that. This def makes me want to unpack my art supplies my next off day. Thank yu for the chill vibes ✌🏾💜💜💜
I became a bts fan two months ago and found indigo not long after. Two months later it’s still the music i think about the most and am still digesting. Being the same age as RM, the album hit me so hard, and the lyrics are still resonating with me as i enter my own second chapter. Rewatching the magazine interview with you made me emotional all over again, i still can’t express how much this album means to me, and what namjoon means to me as an artist and as a person. In general i like vibing with reactors like you who stumble across bts on accident during their hiatus, since the experience of finding them ten years later is very similar. I knew about bts since 2016 and liked some songs but it wasn’t till i stumbled upon their disney plus concert that i got accidentally hooked. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and for not being afraid to keep in the moments that touched you. I just wanted to drop this comment before i continue binge watching your content. If you see this, borahae man.
@tribeloui2023 🥹💜 bruh I did not expect u to immediately see this comment on an old video, who even are you hahaha U said it best, good chaos. Your editing style is 🔥
i literally love your reactions so much! The way you connect to his lyrics is identical to how much i do as well. He is a real life genius. I cannot wait for you to also see the rest of the members abilities and works!
I love your exploration of BTS and each member as an individual artist. It’s a real good mix of content. It’s a newer, fresher deeper insight as compared to other reactors. A lot of the content I have seen but every now and then there’s something new I’ve not seen thrown in the mix. Keep up the good work..and chaos…it’s all good energy 💜
3:50 I understand what you mean, but I think it's not sad at all when you look at it for what it is as a whole. Rather than pain=beauty/art, i think it's Resilience=beauty/art. Pain does not compel you to create, resilience does... Because you take that pain and you make into something that serves you and others. When people listen to that music (or any art made from resilience), it's not the pain that it's contagious, it's the resilience, because people either feel compassion and understanding for the artist, or feel that their own feelings have been validated in some form :) It's like when people say "oh, you wouldn't be who you are today if you didn't have all those horrible experiences". NOPE. You are who you are today because you built your resilience and made sure you could be an amazing person despite the horrible things you went through 💜
You truly have the best energy out of anyone I watch on RUclips. I really do appreciate your authenticity. You spread so much joy. As someone who works in the ol’ music industry…your passion shows through. I connect with that!
The artist who song the last song, don’t look back this was perfect for her, and it is also a message to her. She used to be sign to one of the big 3 company. The CEO wrote the song, and created the dance the song was very popular but she was also young and grew up in a religious home. The church started a hate campaign against her it was terrible, the CEO did nothing to defend her threw her to the wolves. Jungkook and Jimin did the dance to that song it was his birthday and there was thing BH had put on a mini concert for army.
The way that you deeply think about albums and the overall feeling from start to finish makes me wonder if it would be beneficial for you to listen to full albums for your journey in chronological order. You could then do a week of each album just like you're doing for each member and fully immerse yourself in the moment they were telling their story from.
“We checking out EPIK HIGH” THE WAY I JUMPED!! YES PLS, I CAN TYPE UP A WHOLE ESSAY ON WHY YOU MOST CERTAINLY SJOULD!! BUT JUST NOW I WILL BE WAITING FOR THAT AND AM BEYOND EXCITED TO SEE IT 😁😁
During the time RM meet Pharrell last year, he kinda doubting if music is still his passion. He have expressed during Festa 2022 how burnouts he felt - there’s no time resting and focusing on oneself because of the immerse pressure etc. So the session with Pharrell (his idol) is somehow a healing/reassurance that I feel he really need at that time. As you can see RM is like a chameleon, a prolific musical talent who finds specific sound (regardless genre) and made such a beautiful song. For me, Indigo deserve a Grammy nomination.
I am glad that you watched this. Namjoon’s stories complete his songs. I hope he knows BTS and his songs touched so many hearts and changed so many lives. ARMYs always say who needs therapists when we have BTS? 😅
I'm excited to see you continuing your RM journey. Have you listened to his BTS solo songs yet? Intro: Persona is a good one! Also the live performance of Indigo that he did was amazing as well. Youjeen absolutely DESTROYS Wildflower.
The majority of ARMY don’t mind cursing but bc ARMY is so huge there will be some who don’t like it which is kinda weird since BTS curses on their albums (not only on solo albums, on BTS albums)🤷🏾♀️
As someone who doesn't like cussing, I don't find it weird to not like it. However, I do think cussing has to be used in a correct way and not overused. In most BTS songs when they cuss, I don't have the biggest problem with it because the cussing actually adds to the emotions and the message of the song. However personally artists that cuss every two seconds (especially in music) it feels less genuine, and it actually "disrupts" so to speak the message of the song(s), in my personal opinion. Now I am not someone to really judge them based on cussing in normal everyday lives (or music really), since to the rest of the world it is normal, but I still don't like it. This also isn't me sending hate and anything just my personal preference, but I also have no right to judge people nor am I some who should have a say in how people live their lives. People can make their own choices and I should treat people with kindness despite my personal preferences.
@@AJP.OT7 it’s not weird to not like it, it would be weird to get upset if someone cursed occasionally like Pharrell almost did while listening to BTS music where they also curse. I don’t have a problem with someone not liking cursing (I don’t curse often myself) but I don’t like, for example, some fans attempting to police reactors for their language when BTS also curses. If someone don’t like it, ok but I don’t think it’s right to impose that on others.
We don’t mind cursing…he’s just either doing a little micro-aggression at all of us (probably cause he’s heard it so much and I doubt he knows our demographics) cause ARMYs aren’t mature enough for that OR he doesn’t know about the rapline’s music 🤣
super lovely that you posted this video, i actually wanted to see you watch/react to these clips from the time you listened and reacted to rm's music, especially indigo. super nice to watch these with you
Hi I just want to say thank you very much for appreciating and acknowledging BTS as a real, actual, passionate artist!!💖 Most people really just don't take their artistry seriously and treat them merely as a phenomenon. But seeing your videos, we're very delighted!
When Pharrell/RM spoke about meeting at the 2018 Billboard awards, at that time they took a pic and Pharrell didn't smile so all the haters went in and said 'Who do BTS think they are', 'Pharrell is hating this' etc etc. It just shows how wrong people can be. Pharrell just wanted to go make music with them! How can this NOT win a Grammy?💜
every time i hear docskim's story about wildflower im brought to tears like you can hear it in his voice how much it impacted him. Namjoon touches so many people with his art its overwhelming for just me to think about so idk how he does it like pharell asked him about its hard to comprehend
same. All the members (especially RM) have touched so many people's lives. It is amazing to see and hear how the members have inspired others around them and who they have worked with.
Did you hear Docskim's new song he released called Breather? I just linked it in another comment, but I'll include it here too. I believe I read somewhere that he called it Wildflower's sister. It's really beautiful.

Plus they cuss ALOT in their solo songs lol
Omg was that in 2021 😢god I miss seeing them
And in their older group music too😂
the songs where they be cussing are 🔥🔥🔥

As time has shown, the "break" hasn't been much of a "break".. they've been pushing out music, pedal to the metal...they all clearly still love each other,,and they seem to take that 2025 date very seriously.
And speaking of RM, he seems to have regained that mojo, maybe! Not that he lost it,,,but he was talking about how he was afraid that music wouldn't bring him the same feelings it did before....but after releasing Indigo, it feels like a fire has been lit under his bum. He keeps threatening us with updates on how he's leaving work at 4 am, how he was super productive today...he went on live 2 days ago, speaking about how he's practically living in his studio. Someone commented in the chat "Don't work too hard" and he responded " 'Don't work too hard?!' "Don't work too hard?!' I don't have the time! I have to, I was intending to go same time as Hobi, but now I've postponed my entry to complete the music I'm working on right now, but I don't have time to rest now"
I'm very proud of them. They took a huge risk....traditionally, boy bands don't live long term, but they seem committed to making it work, and they're forging a road-not-taken by allowing themselves to grow separately to grow stronger. It seems like a good time for them. For ARMYs, it's like content×7
The way govt always remember bts exist when they need it breaks my heart like imagine your own country does this things to you :/ they take bts too granted
Do you know why No. 2 makes you cry? There is a reason why namjoon chose Park Jiyoon. Look into it someday when you are free. Each featuring artist has a purpose in Indigo. From Erykah's "You keep the silence 'fore you do some art, You be a human till the death of you now" in Yun as opening track to Park Jiyoon's "No looking back, No" in No.2 as closing track.
RM is the most Humane person I've ever come across! He's a genius.
Yeah
It shook me to my core man…. When I learned a bit more about her story and then to have her presence on this song 💜
An hour and sixteen minutes?!??? Oh you’re spoiling us alright😵💫 thank youuuuuuu💜
12:24 majority of army do not care 😭 we actually really enjoy when bts curse bc they're grown men and we dont want them to filter themselves. but i guess outsiders are kinda overly cautious when it comes to bts and army bc they dont wanna piss army off lmfao
theres something beautiful about namjoon asking 2 women who once had peaked in their prime days, who had walked a path no one had and seniors in their own music scene, to be with him to create this beautiful album that is Indigo. and the way the track positioned Erykah in the beginning to sing a hook about persuading listeners to never forget about their humanity, guiding us all into Indigo in a calm but emotionally strong way, and then Jiyoon at the end together with namjoon himself to remind us to also dont look back in your life too much and let go of regrets
GAHH INDIGO WILL BE A TIMELESS CLASSIC
Whenever I watch RM's interviews I always get reminded why fans call him Mr. President. This man is a poet. And he did say if he didn't become a musician, he would've pursued being a poet instead. And when he speaks, it's like we read a book, not a movie, but a book. A book in which we can imagine the world he is seeing on our own perspective.
We have seen almost endless bad interviews of BTS. This talk with Pharrell was truly beautiful and had me thinking so much.
The interview with pharrel... its just so monumental.
And I love that you watched the indigo magazine film.
You got to see all the faces behind the album.
Pdogg is just such a legend. He is the dude that worked on jimins album.
In a way he is a part of bts and their legacy.
Thank u so much. Most of the youtubers send these to patreon and I hate it. Because my country won't let me pay. Thank u for this. I respect you. Waiting for RM live performances of Indigo. Tiny desk RM performance, live weverse, live at Dia Beacon at museum and RM concert live Seoul at Rolling hall with 200 lucky ARMY.
As he love so much indigo…I think he need to listen LIVE IN SEOUL and DIA BEACON and like a plus TINY DESK!!!
are u from India?? nd dont worry he said he is gonna keep his patreon free
@@karensuazo-ti5pz He said at the end he's listening to all three.
In the written version of the RM/Pharrell interview (in Rolling Stones) they said they are working on something together, so we’re looking forward to whenever that drops😁
I wonder if that will drop right before rm heads to the military… like how the others have done farewell songs so far…
"Elevated the way I think" wow that's me too when I listen to INDIGO 💙💙💙
By the way, I know a bunch of us have been hyping up Tablo and his group Epik High (I really hope you look into them one day). Fun fact: Tablo is also smart af with an IQ of 160.
With Joon, you just can't help but salute him. Just the overwhelming feeling of respect I have for him, the adoration that keeps piling up everyday. Just love him man.
From this interview..u can tell RM is a thinker..he's smart...he has depth...he's artistic n creative..hence he's also into the art world. He expresses himself in this interview so well.. asking good questions also
this interview was actually like chopped into three things, this video, an article, and a podcast, they all have a lot of overlapping parts but the article and the podcast have separate parts that they didn’t show here, you don’t have to react to them here but you might want to check them out on your own time 💜
hii do you have links for the interview and podcast? or the names of it so i can google it and check them out?
@@kathy6149 I think you can just google RM and Pharrell interview/podcast and it’ll be the first thing that pops up from Rolling Stones 💜
@@kathy6149
Oh!! Thanks!
@@kathy6149 the interview on RollingStones is titled "What If I Don’t Like Music Anymore?": A Wildly Honest Conversation Between BTS’ RM and Pharrell Williams
@@kathy6149 the podcast is "RM + Pharrell Williams: Rolling Stones's Musicians On Musicians - Special Series", if I mention the platform apparently it gets hidden/deleted
There are people/celebrities who are scared of Army for our size and impact.There is a fear about getting on our bad side and potentially losing your career if you disrespect BTS. Swearing? Nah, we love to fucking swear! 😆 Most of the time we're pretty chill, and we get excited sharing our collective love for BTS.
Don't be afraid or feel embarrassed to show your emotions,I feel so hopeful and motivated when I listen to indigo as well and cry at the end,it feels like heavy burden has been lifted off my heart and it ends with resonating with last song "No.2" it's ok,you did your best,so don't look back no more.
I am so thankful to Namjoon 💜💜
I really respect how in-depth you are deep diving into RM to get to know him personally and study his mind and artistry. MUCH RESPECT.
You will absolutely love his interview on Zach sang. It was probably the best interview I’ve watched from him. I hope you can react to it
the dedication namjoon puts in his craft is so admirable
I feel spoiled by your reactions, they’re so fun 💜
A few random, unrelated thoughts.
One tiny thing I really loved. When Joon is first talking about Erykah Badu, the translation says he calls her a queen. But that's not the word he uses - he calls her a king, each time. I'm not sure why they translated it differently - we all know very well how mindfully Namjun chooses his words, and I love this choice.
'Change' by RM and Wale is one of my favorite songs. Period.
I had such an interesting moment of connection, purely because you included the Indigo film back-to-back with the Pharrell interview. I noticed how often Pharrell talked about channeling others in his writing and production work. And then, did you notice, too? When Pdogg was talking about Lonely & Hectic, he said more than once that he was trying to be RM as he wrote. I just got such a kick out of that similarity of approach. I really think that's cool.
And finally, as Docskim has decided to continue with producing, he released an MV for a track named 'Breather' recently under the name Mikscod. I believe he called it Wildflower's sister, and I just wanted to pass it along for you to listen to here - it's absolutely beautiful:

You SPOILED us today, man. Thank you so much for the reaction, and I can't wait to check out your RM live performance reactions. What a freaking treat. Take good care, and thanks for continuing to bring us along on your journey. 💜💜
we don't care about cursing and the members curse alot, I'm not sure where Pharrell got that from, but ARMY is often viewed as "young teenage girls" so that could be why.
This interview was legit one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard/read/watched from a BTS member. It’s been so frustrating seeing journalists not as him and the group questions like this and go for the standard “who do you want to collab with”, etc… this interview between the two of them is one of my favorites and I’ll forever be grateful that namjoon and Pharrell was able to sit down and talk.
You are deep into boraworld now 😭
Remember that it's okay to shed tears, even if you tear up watching their every content ITS OKAY, we are humans and we are BTS army we are the real ones 💜 that's how unique our bond with BTS is
As if I couldn't like you more, you start to search about Yun Hyongkeun's biography and art 💜 you are a real one
Edit: 1-2 it's the first time I lost :c
you didn't trick me with the scissors but I lost focus for the other two rounds
I loved watching this. This week has been amazing so far. I can see that you are really connecting to Namjoon and his music. He is a source of comfort for so many of us.
I'm so glad you found BTS & by default, our amazing RM aka Kim Namjoon. It's obvious that you were meant to be here - so a belated welcome to you. Love your reactions - your insights are gems! 💜 Can't wait to watch your 'Live in Seoul' reaction!!!
I always think back to Festa 2022 when BTS told us they were going to cease group activities - was heartbroken at the time, esp. as RM shared his feelings so openly with us back then. To see now though where their 'Chapter 2' has taken them so far - beautiful!!! Always feel privileged to be an ARMY & to have these 7 amazing young men & their music in my life.
I really hope you react to suchwita with tablo because rm and suga are both fans of epik high(tablo's band name - has been active for 20years) and started rapping listening to these guys .
Love an rm enthusiast
cursing???we don't mind that shit... disrespect is what we're against....Army is not as uptight as the media portrays us to be.
You are my current favorite reactor. You always come across as genuine and sincere in your expression and comments. Also thank you for putting so much thought into their music! 💜💜
We don't care about cursing, people just assume that. Rap line curses in their lyrics alot and we still sing it word for word lol
This was an interview between two beautiful beings of great talent and respect for one another
This entire voyage between these two instructive and essential videos has been such a joy. Your deep appreciation of what you’re hearing and seeing is a pleasure to watch. Joon is a person of such quality that the calibre of people around him is staggering. Pharrell being a bit of a sympathetic mentor, some very well-established Korean artists as well as new voices and a queen all happy to work with him. Docskim’s story still tears me up, as he wrote one of the most important songs in their entire discography, Outro: Tear, and then to learn he almost gave it all up in an ugly twist of irony, but thank goodness music saved him in the end. And park JiYoon’s own professional story, in addition to her sweet voice, made her the obvious choice for No. 2. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming installments of Join’s focus 💜
12:24 no i swear 90% of us don’t gaf😭😭 but there’s some cringey ass fans who treat them as if they’re children. which for us normal army can be really frustrating to see those cringey army😭😭.
Omg....I saw the thumbnail and was so excited to see this interview! Again, automatic thumbs up before I even pressed play. I am in the kitchen , cooking for my kids and am thrilled to have this play and keep me company. Yesterday I was folding laundry while watching Run BTS with you.
I've said it before and I will say it again---I just love this channel. Let's go, ARMY and the Tribe!! 💜💜
I cried with you. This album is just a masterpiece. I wish i could give Joon the biggest hug and thank you 😩
I love how you made note of like 10 new songs or artists to check out while watching this interview. namjoon would be so happy to hear that. He loves sharing and amplifying the artists from his community or frequency, as you can probably tell.
So good to revisit this promotion material and I really appreciate that you had the interest to watch it and to listen ❤ Indigo is an album I listen to several time a week, RM voice is like my best friend... Voice meaning the sound, the feeling, the story, the mind work... A long time ago, when the troubles with rap and idol music, he said he got into this because "I wanted my voice to be heard by many" and I always felt it like that. ❤
SO glad you reacted to this! RM's Indigo promotion really led us to having the best most introspective interviews. You should definitely check out the Zach Sang interview as well.
We can relate because truth is universal.
Honestly I enjoy your long videos because I know you're serious about RM's music. When Indigo came out, there was so much songwriting and production content that even ARMY had a hard time catching up, but you're watching a 40-minute video of him talking about his music until the sky turned into an indigo color as a new fan...I appreciate it. 💜
This is one my favorite videos of yours, how I would love to have a friend like you who truly understands bts and loves the music and its meaning, how we could just sit and discuss it. Thank you for the reaction!
when you speak the notes you've written, I realise again and again how articulate you are!!! Would love to have you share these in written somewhere too!!! Like your freestyles are so fun as well!!! Tribe I'm serious you have literature in you
I love how you share your thoughts and perspective. As Jimin once said, “you nice, keep going”! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Pls check out RM being interviewed on the Zach Sang Show...about his album Indigo...I think u will enjoyed that.
I remember being hooked on Indigo from the first listen and just listened to whole Indigo album on repeat, it was simply a masterpiece💜
As always W reaction and commentary! The amount of times I've watched these 2 vids when they came is crazy! Just dropping knowledge and made me reflect on so many areas of myself
I know this reaction is about Joon, and I'm here for it. Love RM. But I know that Yoongi is next, and I know you will love his music too. So, PSA, yoongi (Agust D) is going on tour starting late April in the US. This is likely the last tour from a group member until 2026. I can see Kook doing a summer festival, but this is probably the last tour until they are back together. Just don't want you to miss out because you didn't know. 😊
Not gonna lie.......... I click that like button b4 I start the video!! Lol😂 I already know it's gonna be a great video!! Thank you for being open minded, true to your reaction and just a blessing for us O.G. A.R.M.Y to go down the BTS rabbit hole again like it's our 1st time ova again!! Blessings and success to you my young brotha!! Bordahae 💜🫰🏼
Sincerely, thank u for this reaction! 💜💜💜
27:39 FACTS! I am so amazed by how his brain works and even though english isn’t his first language he still speaks so eloquently! best leader Namjoon!
I've heard about you on Twitter :) and I'm really glad you listened to this album "magazine" documentary. It speaks a lot about how much you've come to appreciate Joon as a human and an artist who inspires people. I love that you've been so open-minded about BTS as a whole and that you've come to love Namjoon and his music!
I like the way you stop and repeat something and think about what was just said.
We don’t care about cussing 😂 AT ALL we in fact love it when we hear the guys cuss 😂
Also, I love how comfy you get 😂 relatable
I loved every bit of this reaction. I’m inspired to create art again from this. I’m an artist, painting, sketching mostly fine arts. I learned graphic design but my heart wasn’t in it as much. I haven’t painted in 4 years. Life definitely took over and I’ve been creatively blocked and unmotivated, but still inspired by my surroundings to have creative ideas of what to do next. I was grateful to still have that. This def makes me want to unpack my art supplies my next off day. Thank yu for the chill vibes ✌🏾💜💜💜
I do really love your reaction. I feel like I watch with you. Not watching you react, but like we watch and enjoyed together...
I became a bts fan two months ago and found indigo not long after. Two months later it’s still the music i think about the most and am still digesting. Being the same age as RM, the album hit me so hard, and the lyrics are still resonating with me as i enter my own second chapter. Rewatching the magazine interview with you made me emotional all over again, i still can’t express how much this album means to me, and what namjoon means to me as an artist and as a person.
In general i like vibing with reactors like you who stumble across bts on accident during their hiatus, since the experience of finding them ten years later is very similar. I knew about bts since 2016 and liked some songs but it wasn’t till i stumbled upon their disney plus concert that i got accidentally hooked.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us and for not being afraid to keep in the moments that touched you. I just wanted to drop this comment before i continue binge watching your content. If you see this, borahae man.

i literally love your reactions so much! The way you connect to his lyrics is identical to how much i do as well. He is a real life genius. I cannot wait for you to also see the rest of the members abilities and works!
I love your exploration of BTS and each member as an individual artist. It’s a real good mix of content. It’s a newer, fresher deeper insight as compared to other reactors. A lot of the content I have seen but every now and then there’s something new I’ve not seen thrown in the mix. Keep up the good work..and chaos…it’s all good energy 💜
I loved this video so much. It's so good to see you really get interested in their music. Namjoon really is an incredible artist. 💜
3:50 I understand what you mean, but I think it's not sad at all when you look at it for what it is as a whole. Rather than pain=beauty/art, i think it's Resilience=beauty/art. Pain does not compel you to create, resilience does... Because you take that pain and you make into something that serves you and others. When people listen to that music (or any art made from resilience), it's not the pain that it's contagious, it's the resilience, because people either feel compassion and understanding for the artist, or feel that their own feelings have been validated in some form :)
It's like when people say "oh, you wouldn't be who you are today if you didn't have all those horrible experiences". NOPE. You are who you are today because you built your resilience and made sure you could be an amazing person despite the horrible things you went through 💜
Yooo this is such a great take!!!! I love u for this

gosh docskim finding his passion again thru wildflower always chokes me up
Yep proud army & tribe
& nothing but mad respect to Namjoon & his art child indigo💜
Also crazy & a first
- we tied 3 x’s !!!

really glad you watched those two vids to get even deeper into his music process and his amazing mind, love your insight as always!
i didnt plan on going through an existential crisis from this, man.
Don't forget to watch RM's All Force One performance too. It was AMAZING!
i love how with the time difference you usually post when im still sleeping and then i can watch you first thing in the morning lmao
The artist who song the last song, don’t look back this was perfect for her, and it is also a message to her. She used to be sign to one of the big 3 company. The CEO wrote the song, and created the dance the song was very popular but she was also young and grew up in a religious home. The church started a hate campaign against her it was terrible, the CEO did nothing to defend her threw her to the wolves. Jungkook and Jimin did the dance to that song it was his birthday and there was thing BH had put on a mini concert for army.
The way Joon speaks is just so soothing. I could hear him talk for hours. I did not want that interview to end fr
Loui, you're such a sweet human being. 💜
Thanks for this video
Broooo I love your Chanel so muchhh I’m so glad your loving joons music and alll the member so far
Bro I relate to No. 2 and ur reaction to it just validates my feelings sm so thankyou
I hope it helped u as much as it helped me
Btw I won the first 2 RPS, then we tied on the last one
The way that you deeply think about albums and the overall feeling from start to finish makes me wonder if it would be beneficial for you to listen to full albums for your journey in chronological order. You could then do a week of each album just like you're doing for each member and fully immerse yourself in the moment they were telling their story from.
A great idea
“We checking out EPIK HIGH” THE WAY I JUMPED!! YES PLS, I CAN TYPE UP A WHOLE ESSAY ON WHY YOU MOST CERTAINLY SJOULD!! BUT JUST NOW I WILL BE WAITING FOR THAT AND AM BEYOND EXCITED TO SEE IT 😁😁
During the time RM meet Pharrell last year, he kinda doubting if music is still his passion. He have expressed during Festa 2022 how burnouts he felt - there’s no time resting and focusing on oneself because of the immerse pressure etc. So the session with Pharrell (his idol) is somehow a healing/reassurance that I feel he really need at that time. As you can see RM is like a chameleon, a prolific musical talent who finds specific sound (regardless genre) and made such a beautiful song. For me, Indigo deserve a Grammy nomination.
You looked so cuddly in that blanket I had to get mine too 😭😭
You deserve a big hug loui 💜
an amazing interview and your reactions are a breath of fresh air
I am glad that you watched this. Namjoon’s stories complete his songs. I hope he knows BTS and his songs touched so many hearts and changed so many lives. ARMYs always say who needs therapists when we have BTS? 😅
I'm excited to see you continuing your RM journey. Have you listened to his BTS solo songs yet? Intro: Persona is a good one! Also the live performance of Indigo that he did was amazing as well. Youjeen absolutely DESTROYS Wildflower.
Im so glad Namjoon had the opportunity to talk about one of his inspirations
Love your wrap up too 💜
Oh, you did! hahahaha sorry I saw this late but imma watching this for sure! :)
the necklace fits you so well!
congratulations on being an ARMY its a beautiful journey i hope you continue find comfort and inspiration by BTS music 💜
This is fantastic! You spoil the Tribe😆 💜
The majority of ARMY don’t mind cursing but bc ARMY is so huge there will be some who don’t like it which is kinda weird since BTS curses on their albums (not only on solo albums, on BTS albums)🤷🏾♀️
ikr
As someone who doesn't like cussing, I don't find it weird to not like it. However, I do think cussing has to be used in a correct way and not overused. In most BTS songs when they cuss, I don't have the biggest problem with it because the cussing actually adds to the emotions and the message of the song. However personally artists that cuss every two seconds (especially in music) it feels less genuine, and it actually "disrupts" so to speak the message of the song(s), in my personal opinion. Now I am not someone to really judge them based on cussing in normal everyday lives (or music really), since to the rest of the world it is normal, but I still don't like it. This also isn't me sending hate and anything just my personal preference, but I also have no right to judge people nor am I some who should have a say in how people live their lives. People can make their own choices and I should treat people with kindness despite my personal preferences.
@@AJP.OT7 it’s not weird to not like it, it would be weird to get upset if someone cursed occasionally like Pharrell almost did while listening to BTS music where they also curse. I don’t have a problem with someone not liking cursing (I don’t curse often myself) but I don’t like, for example, some fans attempting to police reactors for their language when BTS also curses. If someone don’t like it, ok but I don’t think it’s right to impose that on others.
*doesn’t like it
We don’t mind cursing…he’s just either doing a little micro-aggression at all of us (probably cause he’s heard it so much and I doubt he knows our demographics) cause ARMYs aren’t mature enough for that OR he doesn’t know about the rapline’s music 🤣
super lovely that you posted this video, i actually wanted to see you watch/react to these clips from the time you listened and reacted to rm's music, especially indigo. super nice to watch these with you
Hi I just want to say thank you very much for appreciating and acknowledging BTS as a real, actual, passionate artist!!💖 Most people really just don't take their artistry seriously and treat them merely as a phenomenon. But seeing your videos, we're very delighted!
When Pharrell/RM spoke about meeting at the 2018 Billboard awards, at that time they took a pic and Pharrell didn't smile so all the haters went in and said 'Who do BTS think they are', 'Pharrell is hating this' etc etc. It just shows how wrong people can be. Pharrell just wanted to go make music with them!
How can this NOT win a Grammy?💜
Love your reactions
