I really recommend for you guys to watch the explanation video by The Bookish Theories cuz it'll definitely blow your mind. You can't pass this mv without knowing all the intricate symbolism, references, and meanings they worked so hard to put in this masterpiece. Hope you do and look forward to it.
Finally someone said it . They have the best choreographies! They don't dance just for the sake of dancing and doing big moves , they tell a story with their bodies and it fits the song so well and their moves are never recycled they're always creative ! . Same with their MVs everything has a meaning! They don't just rely on high production MVs like some other groups does and put on a trashy noisy song 😂 but that's not BTS they make sure that the song is the one that saves the MV not the other way around cuz they only have high quality music
Yes!! I was ARMY after this. The sex appeal 😂 I still haven't recovered 😂 Men and women equally became obsessed with Jimin and his opening scene 😂 The MV is about temptation. And I love how they depicted the good and evil. And, Jin is the innocent one and V the fallen angel that takes him down, falls for whatever tempted him. I love how every image is like a painting - and they're in a museum!! The attention to detail is incredible. I would love to see you react to MV explanation. It's so well done! If you have interest. Hope to catch you on live again!
Yep this is the song that got me into BTS. I didn’t even know who they were, and I was just browsing RUclips and it came up on my trending, watched it didn’t turn on subtitles but was wowed by the singing, the dancing, the complete visual aspect of this video. This is the video that made me say “I’m going to have to learn their names” and down the rabbit hole I went. Been an ARMY ever since!
Blood Sweat & Tears is a very interesting song and the inspiration in this song is another level. This was inspired by the novel Demian by Herman Hesse, a German - Swiss poet. I totally agree with that BTS choreography is always top notched. If you noticed it too even in pausing the video, you can see that they are still synchronized, and it amazes me every time to think that not all of them are dancers. I've seen other MV with dances, but it makes me dizzy after watching coz of too much movement, so much hyping, so many costume change and so many scene/set changes that sometimes doesn't even connect with their song...lol.
I was attracted to BTS because of their ability to rap, sing, and dance in sync together. Their choreography was like watching pros while all other American and Western boy bands I've seen before them were one dimensional. After seeing BTS and watching other Kpop male groups, they were similar but none of them were able to hold my attention the same way. BTS songs were different, most of them had good melodies and chorus, vocals and rap. Their lyrics and meanings were thought provoking and well versed. Some of the pre-BTS other group's songs were awkward. They were mostly focused on the chorus and most of the songs were just fill ins till the chorus. It may be catchy, but didn't attract me to other groups to invest buying into their songs or albums. The girl group's songs were too similar, dancing was the same motions and they came across as sexy cheerleaders. This choreography in their dance practice was extremely harder to do especially the chorus where they spread out and jump while spinning back to position together. how they don't hit or step on each other shows how much practice they had. To all come back in perfect position where they are spaced perfectly in that triangle where you can see each member.The hand stand that Jung Kook does as they fall to the ground was inventive. This dance put them way ahead of other groups and were doing things we haven't seen before. This is what cemented their stature as my favorite Kpop group, and favorite group of all time.
For your question, Magic Shop is the song that literally saved my life after my husband passed away from stage 4 kidney cancer. Once you hear it you will understand. That song is best to watch live!! As for this song yeah, I was like you guys speechless! Love watching you guys you all are fun and entertaining. 💜💜Borahae💜💜
FINALLY!! BST is probably to this day still one of my favorite songs. And honestly the music still gets better from here!! So y’all better hold on cuz this ride ain’t over
Guys, you are awesome. Thank you for your reactions! I wish you could take time to watch the explanation videos. You'd appreciate them even more! Thank you 💜
GOOOOOD MORNINGGGGG TO MEEEEE. evil and temptation and loss of innocence and so much more!!!!! i don’t have the capacity to explain this video well enough, but i really can’t wait for someone to break it all down for you guys. lots of army do a great job at it, i do not lmao this isn’t what introduced me to bts but it’s definitely what sealed the deal for me.
The Song that gave them their first American Billboard Award against artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato 🔥
I got into BTS when I accidentally saw RM’s vlog on you tube. He told the audience to checkout not only their songs but the lyrics too bcoz they wrote em themselves. And lol I watched Outro: Tears and gosh got hooked with the rap line and I don’t even listen to rap songs. Then I saw ‘xceleste’ you tube and from there on I only love BtS eventho there were lots and lots of K-pop artist. I just love their story of from humble beginning but still stays humble till now . All their songs are just fantastic
I remember this iconic comeback. everyone hyped. we were waiting with them when they comeback live. and the mv came out... we were shocked? fascinated? they were creating art and l want to go back to that time and watch it as if it were the first time. kpop changed forever thanks to them :) oh god!!! i miss them so much
Hope you'll notice this ☺️ FINALLY! Thank you for the great review and reaction, as always! If you could watch the dance practice of this, it is really satisfying. If I may suggest, if it's not way too much, you can include the dance practice after watching the official MV. Because they really have great choreos and you can really appreciate them as dancers. Looking forward to your next BTS video! 💜
This video BLEW MYMIND! I did not discover BTS until 2018 when I saw them perform IDOL on GMA, but once I started down the rabbit hole (still happily exploring), I found this Masterpiece (the entire WINGS album is so impressive) and this is the one that made me dig even deeper and become ARMY. Love watching your guys journey & your appreciation for all the artistry that goes into their work - the music, locations, costuming, choreo and the amazing visuals of all 7 members. Its hard to remind myself that I need to calm the F down because I am twice their age (well, twice Jungkooks age) LOL
To this day, I go back and watch the BST choreography dance practice video often. It's so incredible to see them spin, jump and land in perfect formation in different positions. Mesmerizing. I'll put in my vote for explanation video. I was so impressed with all the symbolism and how they communicated the ideas. So good 👍💜 Thanks for reaction.
If you really want to see the choreo watch the dance practices. You will see so much more. They have always been incredible dancers. Even in their early days.
Speaking of BTS being next level in terms of dancing/choreo, the Blood, Sweat, & Tears dance practice is up there and I highly recommend it. A good portion of it isn’t in the MV, but you’ll be able to see how next level their dancing was. I hope you’ll react to it.
I agree adulting sucks 😂😂😂😂😂 DNA was my 1st MV, but my sister who got me into BTS would come over & we watched their dance practice video’s then I saw burn the stage & was hooked from then on Everytime they come out with a new song, album, MV I am blown away because they always manage to up their talent & concepts, that is why they keep breaking their own records
I found out about BTS in 2017. At that time I just listened to their songs and MVs that were uploaded that year, such as DNA, Spring Day, Mic Drop, Not Today. So when I first watched this music video, I was blown away. I mean, the vibe is totally different from the other MVs I've watched. BST has a lot of symbolism, the visuals are no joke, the dance choreography is crazy, I love it all. I remember I watched this mv many times after that
I really want you guys to react some live performance of bts . And i literally love your reactions and the reviews which you give thank you so much. 💜💜borahae.
Some Explanations... In the beginning of the video the painting which jin looks through is called " the fall of the rebel angels" which refers to the fight between good and bad.. so throughout the mv we can see that the innocent boys (expect v -who is a icarus. (bad)) were getting worse and worse and were driven away by the evil thoughts of suicide,depression,fighting against it Nd all..... The entire my takes place bw life and death,its the world where u have to decide .but all this happens when jin fully realised that he is dead..so after realizing he has to choose between good and evil. Jin jk v comes from realm of death and rm suga jhope jimin from realm of life. The part where jk is swinging: according to Greek mythology it refers to "youth never comes back" that is they will never be innocent or happy becoz already they become a part of evil ...then comes suga who is shown as sitting on the glass ground depicting nearly falling into deep dark hole...and in rm part he holds a glass with green liquid which depicts that after jins death rm is depressed and wishes every other member was in good state,in another part it shows rm is standing near a picture which is fully black and says "u need to survive" which refers his depressed mental health because of his attempts to save everyone from evil is in vain, so he drinks the liquid given by the evil which temptates him by giving Hope that if he drink it he could get what he want..so finally he drinks and he chooses evil path without even realizing that he was tricked by the evil...and in jimin and suga part - Jin is holding a apple (symbol of temptation of sin )and suga has a black blind fold...this part says suga realised and clear minded about things that were happening around him,so he covers Jimins eye with blindfold to avoid him from eating that apple (evil temptation)....in j hopes part- he was sitting on the chair filled with black water but it didn't reach him because he is the only one with his emotions under his control so the evil can't reach him..and he tries to shoot v (icarus) with arrow...on one part it shows v jumping out from a wall and u could see the painting of sea on the wall ie it shows that v jumped into the sea so he lost his wings.....and at last part everyone is running towards a exit which depicts that almost everyone is came out from the temptation of evil and trying to escape from it...but v covers jin eyes and asks him to come along with him...and jin makes a deal with icarus (v) that he will come along with v if icarus leaves the innocent boys back...so icarus accepts the demands of jin by making the boys free from his evil temptations.. ...so jin kisses the statue with black wings and chooses evil path to save them and finally cracks up depicting fall of good..u can see a lily flower near the mirror which depicts a girl who he loved and become depressed choosen to die in his previous life which is the reason for the sufferings of his friends after his death, so he regrets for not thinking clearly before he died in his past and this is connected to awake mv..and v (icarus) was the one who fought against his surroundings and killed his father to save her sister from him in his past this is related fo I need u girl and run mv.....this may be little confusing because every single thing is connected with each music videos.... This may be not the fully detailed view of this ..
Fantastic reaction, guys. The first time I listened to this song, it was Jimins first notes that just hit me hard. He is 😊so perfect, and I kept rewatching that bit before then letting the rest of the song play. Then, of course, I had to watch the explanation videos. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
We were awed by this when it came out! We knew it was part of the BU, so we watched it MULTIPLE times and researched all kinds of stuff to figure out what it was about. This was a fun time in the fandom. People from all over the world were trying to figure it out.
Two month too late but I want to say, you need to watch the dance practice video! There you can see the syncronisity even more! If they do the jumps, which every one does differently, you just hear one thump, if they land, that is how exact they are!
You guys are about %70 percent done with the wings album now 😂 you should react to the last 5 songs and then you guys can say you've listened to your first bts album then!! Wings is also my favorite bts album absolutely love every song on it!
I want to say in my opinion this was THE comeback of bts it was breaking records the were winning awards everyone was talking about the looks, the dance, the song I also had the honor of watching it back in 2016 when if first came out and it blew my breath away it was amazing!!
You guys have to watch the dance practice videos! Run BTS, their variety show, is what got me into them before I knew any of their music cause they made me laugh. I started listening to their music and when I watched the dance practice videos they really hooked me in 😮💨
About your ending convo after the MV, that was exactly me. This was the first MV I ever watched from them back in 2016 when I heard about them. It was literally down the rabbit hole from then on.
I have really enjoyed your visit your videos as my top three! I love your analysis of them and who they are and a good description of their work❤ just on a little sidenote darn the cousin is gorgeous! I’m curious said you were in the military what division? I’m thinking the Marines a special forces? Either way I enjoy your critiquing their work!
BST was my very first BTS MV and that was the beginning of this crazy ride down the Bangtan rabbit hole & the amazing ARMY life. The best decision I've made ever. For real. Thanks for this reaction, you guys. Looking forward to see more BTS reactions. Borahae! 💜🫰🏼💜
you have to make a reaction video for BTS's performance on this song, especially their performance at award shows like MMA and MAMA from 2016 until 2020
I live in India ,i didn't know anything about kpop This song came on vh1 channel and i was shocked after watching this video like the Level of Perfection this song has BTS Has done a great job . ❤
Love love loved your reaction! The intensity with which you three are watching and enjoying BTS is so awesome. You are really appreciating their talent. And the comment about how you missed seeing them all together….thats army mentality exactly. Each of them are powerhouses in their own way but together!….. they are indescribable. I don’t think I’ve still recovered from watching when it dropped. It sucked me in and kept me there. If you watch the MV and follow it with a live…🤌🏼
I am waiting for you guys to react to SET ME FREE PT 2 BY JIMIN. I’m absolutely loving all your reactions regarding BTS. Y’all are doing such a great job guys. Looking forward to your reaction on SET ME FREE PT 2 by JIMIN. You’ll love it
Based on the book Damian by hess. The key to whole video is in the written words over the painting in the first scene. Its about temptation and excess...
So I'm a newer ARMY as of 2020. I first saw Dynamite and didn't care for it much but my daughter loved it. I ended up being curious about them since I had been watching Kdramas for a few years by this time and it was Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love and Black Swan that got me hooked. I loved that there was a deep root in art. You are going to start getting into some deep meanings and metaphors so you may want to consider watching some explanation videos if you are interested in what it all means.
Yeah! So glad you guys have made it to this point. Forget the rabbit hole, you guys are about to get swept away into the abyss. Things are about to get deep and crazy. This is about to get really exciting.
Another great reaction guys, this is why ARMY loves discovering reaction channels that actually respect BTS and all the work they put into their video's and songs, please react to the explanation video, ARMY love watching BTS video's because we all still get goose bumps because of the songs and because of the reaction to new ARMY's discovering BTS. 💙💖🖤🤍🤎💚💜
Actually the first time I met BTS was through Suga (Agust D) Daechwita. Immediately went to an explaination video because I did not understand some of the references. Watched it again and I was like ... well the best way to describe it was I considered myself a life long lover of music and dance and literature. Everything was satisfied. Its as if I had been living of TV dinners and someone took me for a really good steak. I thought this is what its supposed to be. Every line, beat, musical instrument, image considered and performed to perfection. It was perfect sustenance and I was hooked.
Y'all should really watch (even on your own time, you don't have to record) all BTS 'dance practice videos' to truly get a full sense of their choreography and talent, because I can tell y'all really appreciate what they can do
crazy that i haven’t heard this and i’ve listened to several bts songs and seen live performances on youtube. i had no idea about all the records this broke! cool to know. 😅
Okay not sure if you'll see this cuz YT has been deleting my comments so I basically gave up. For the MV "Not Today" there is a word that always throws people off in the lyrics in the Eng Subs, when they say the korean word "Baepsae" it's translated to the English word "Crow-tit" which is a small bird with short legs but sometimes "Baepsae" is translated as "try-hards". "Baepsae" is a term used for the younger generation in S.K. and bts also has a song by the same name (it's also known as Silver Spoon in English), Baepsae is one of my fav jams of theirs to blast in my car lol. It's a song that's a social commentary on how the older generation known as Storks often criticize the younger generations for their own economic situation of not being able afford their own homes, not having kids or not getting married because of the financial strain. The storks & media refer to the newer generation as the "given up" generation cuz many of them have given up on buying a house, having children etc. They tell them they just need to work harder, do better, try harder to get those things but things are extremely different from the past economic climate and it's easy to say these things when your oblivious to how hard the current situation is because you already have all those things yourself. There's a great explanation video on the song called "Baespae Explained by a Korean" that does a much better job going into the song. Just know BTS uses the word translated as Crow-tit to refers to their generation, personally I prefer the sound of the Korean word "Baepsae" much better lol.
Hi, guys. I loved your reaction to this - thank you. The first time I watched this I didn't have a CLUE. BST is (apparently) not for everyone. I love symbology and depth but I had NO IDEA what was going on. I had heard it was based on Damien by H Hesse (a book that I never really fancied reading) but I realised it was about the loss of innocence, partly loss of sexual innocence, but also existential and social innocence, and about the sadness resulting from that loss. But exactly how it all hung together evaded me. I watched the "Explanation" from Bookish Theories and that not only clarified the meanings but also gave light on the many symbols and allusions in the MV - but there remain many more for the enjoyment of the curious viewer! Thank you for being such open and honest reactors to BTS. Boahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Actually, the Japanese MV of this song connected to the storyline better. But I like this Korean version more 😊! It’s more about the book of Damien. Really cool! And this choreography is one of my favorite from them!
this music video broke youtube view count records at the time and changed kpop forever the way everyone was talking about it. iconic
Nothing was the same in kpop mvs after this and the whole WINGS era✨️
Im a 2016 army and you're right this mv change the trajectory of kpop forever bts became global phenomenon slowly biggest grp in the world
kings of kpop fr
I really recommend for you guys to watch the explanation video by The Bookish Theories cuz it'll definitely blow your mind. You can't pass this mv without knowing all the intricate symbolism, references, and meanings they worked so hard to put in this masterpiece. Hope you do and look forward to it.
Definitely. Or the one from "Don't Worry I'm Not Afraid"
Agree. This is the era where those explanation videos add a ton of context
Yess watch the explanation
Finally someone said it . They have the best choreographies! They don't dance just for the sake of dancing and doing big moves , they tell a story with their bodies and it fits the song so well and their moves are never recycled they're always creative ! . Same with their MVs everything has a meaning! They don't just rely on high production MVs like some other groups does and put on a trashy noisy song 😂 but that's not BTS they make sure that the song is the one that saves the MV not the other way around cuz they only have high quality music
BST isn't what introduced me to BTS, but is the song that made me ARMY. Until this day, BST is my favorite mv !
YES. A masterpiece, it blew my mind 😅
I can't argue because #fact.
Same here 💐❤️👑
Yes!! I was ARMY after this. The sex appeal 😂 I still haven't recovered 😂 Men and women equally became obsessed with Jimin and his opening scene 😂 The MV is about temptation. And I love how they depicted the good and evil. And, Jin is the innocent one and V the fallen angel that takes him down, falls for whatever tempted him. I love how every image is like a painting - and they're in a museum!! The attention to detail is incredible. I would love to see you react to MV explanation. It's so well done! If you have interest. Hope to catch you on live again!
Their dancing is actually the best if you just watch the dance practice alongside the mv..
Yep this is the song that got me into BTS. I didn’t even know who they were, and I was just browsing RUclips and it came up on my trending, watched it didn’t turn on subtitles but was wowed by the singing, the dancing, the complete visual aspect of this video. This is the video that made me say “I’m going to have to learn their names” and down the rabbit hole I went. Been an ARMY ever since!
Blood Sweat & Tears is a very interesting song and the inspiration in this song is another level. This was inspired by the novel Demian by Herman Hesse, a German - Swiss poet.

I've seen other MV with dances, but it makes me dizzy after watching coz of too much movement, so much hyping, so many costume change and so many scene/set changes that sometimes doesn't even connect with their song...lol.
I really want 2025 to come fast so that they get all together and make more music i really want to go to their concerts 💜💜💜💜 bts borahae
I was attracted to BTS because of their ability to rap, sing, and dance in sync together. Their choreography was like watching pros while all other American and Western boy bands I've seen before them were one dimensional. After seeing BTS and watching other Kpop male groups, they were similar but none of them were able to hold my attention the same way.
BTS songs were different, most of them had good melodies and chorus, vocals and rap. Their lyrics and meanings were thought provoking and well versed.
Some of the pre-BTS other group's songs were awkward. They were mostly focused on the chorus and most of the songs were just fill ins till the chorus. It may be catchy, but didn't attract me to other groups to invest buying into their songs or albums. The girl group's songs were too similar, dancing was the same motions and they came across as sexy cheerleaders.
This choreography in their dance practice was extremely harder to do especially the chorus where they spread out and jump while spinning back to position together. how they don't hit or step on each other shows how much practice they had. To all come back in perfect position where they are spaced perfectly in that triangle where you can see each member.The hand stand that Jung Kook does as they fall to the ground was inventive.
This dance put them way ahead of other groups and were doing things we haven't seen before. This is what cemented their stature as my favorite Kpop group, and favorite group of all time.
For your question, Magic Shop is the song that literally saved my life after my husband passed away from stage 4 kidney cancer. Once you hear it you will understand. That song is best to watch live!! As for this song yeah, I was like you guys speechless! Love watching you guys you all are fun and entertaining. 💜💜Borahae💜💜
FINALLY!! BST is probably to this day still one of my favorite songs. And honestly the music still gets better from here!! So y’all better hold on cuz this ride ain’t over
Guys, you are awesome. Thank you for your reactions! I wish you could take time to watch the explanation videos. You'd appreciate them even more!
Thank you 💜
GOOOOOD MORNINGGGGG TO MEEEEE. evil and temptation and loss of innocence and so much more!!!!! i don’t have the capacity to explain this video well enough, but i really can’t wait for someone to break it all down for you guys. lots of army do a great job at it, i do not lmao
this isn’t what introduced me to bts but it’s definitely what sealed the deal for me.
Your reaction was soooooo awesome, especially after Jin kissed the statue.... 😅Your faces........ Loved it.
😅😅😅
evan is right about the choreography, it’s always completely insane w BTS
Ugh!!! Love this reaction so much!!! ❤ “I’ll get deeply drunk on a whiskey called you.” My fav lyrics! So good!
This is indeed the song that got me into BTS. 🤣 Been an ARMY since 2016 cause of it.
The Song that gave them their first American Billboard Award against artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato 🔥
I got into BTS when I accidentally saw RM’s vlog on you tube. He told the audience to checkout not only their songs but the lyrics too bcoz they wrote em themselves. And lol I watched Outro: Tears and gosh got hooked with the rap line and I don’t even listen to rap songs. Then I saw ‘xceleste’ you tube and from there on I only love BtS eventho there were lots and lots of K-pop artist. I just love their story of from humble beginning but still stays humble till now . All their songs are just fantastic
I remember this iconic comeback. everyone hyped. we were waiting with them when they comeback live. and the mv came out... we were shocked? fascinated? they were creating art and l want to go back to that time and watch it as if it were the first time. kpop changed forever thanks to them :) oh god!!! i miss them so much
Hope you'll notice this ☺️
FINALLY! Thank you for the great review and reaction, as always! If you could watch the dance practice of this, it is really satisfying.

You should watch the explainer video on this one. The symbolism is off the charts.
To this day, I go back and watch the BST choreography dance practice video often. It's so incredible to see them spin, jump and land in perfect formation in different positions. Mesmerizing. I'll put in my vote for explanation video. I was so impressed with all the symbolism and how they communicated the ideas. So good 👍💜 Thanks for reaction.
If you really want to see the choreo watch the dance practices. You will see so much more. They have always been incredible dancers. Even in their early days.

I agree adulting sucks 😂😂😂😂😂
DNA was my 1st MV, but my sister who got me into BTS would come over & we watched their dance practice video’s then I saw burn the stage & was hooked from then on
Everytime they come out with a new song, album, MV I am blown away because they always manage to up their talent & concepts, that is why they keep breaking their own records
My reaction when this first came out was that I was just very very proud.... of every aspect of the MV... and how hard they worked ...
I found out about BTS in 2017. At that time I just listened to their songs and MVs that were uploaded that year, such as DNA, Spring Day, Mic Drop, Not Today.

BST has a lot of symbolism, the visuals are no joke, the dance choreography is crazy, I love it all. I remember I watched this mv many times after that
Yep, 2016, this amazing mv I went down the rabbit hole. Best decision I ever made 💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜💜
I loved this reaction so much! This is legendary MV!!! Can't wait to see more BTS reactions
BS&T was my gateway drug into the world of BTS addiction. The live performances, oh so good. 🔥
The sheer scope of symbolism in this video blows my mind. So ambitious it’s stunning and they hook people! Daechwita hooked me.
This is THE sexiest BTS song. It’s all about giving in to temptation and the visuals and dancing are off the charts! 🔥🔥🔥🩸😅🥲
Definitely watching the first short films and the 7 songs alone was the best decision, it is an order that I will recommend to my friends
I really want you guys to react some live performance of bts .
And i literally love your reactions and the reviews which you give thank you so much. 💜💜borahae.
BTS always exceeds expectations.

Jin jk v comes from realm of death and rm suga jhope jimin from realm of life. The part where jk is swinging: according to Greek mythology it refers to "youth never comes back" that is they will never be innocent or happy becoz already they become a part of evil ...then comes suga who is shown as sitting on the glass ground depicting nearly falling into deep dark hole...and in rm part he holds a glass with green liquid which depicts that after jins death rm is depressed and wishes every other member was in good state,in another part it shows rm is standing near a picture which is fully black and says "u need to survive" which refers his depressed mental health because of his attempts to save everyone from evil is in vain, so he drinks the liquid given by the evil which temptates him by giving Hope that if he drink it he could get what he want..so finally he drinks and he chooses evil path without even realizing that he was tricked by the evil...and in jimin and suga part - Jin is holding a apple (symbol of temptation of sin )and suga has a black blind fold...this part says suga realised and clear minded about things that were happening around him,so he covers Jimins eye with blindfold to avoid him from eating that apple (evil temptation)....in j hopes part- he was sitting on the chair filled with black water but it didn't reach him because he is the only one with his emotions under his control so the evil can't reach him..and he tries to shoot v (icarus) with arrow...on one part it shows v jumping out from a wall and u could see the painting of sea on the wall ie it shows that v jumped into the sea so he lost his wings.....and at last part everyone is running towards a exit which depicts that almost everyone is came out from the temptation of evil and trying to escape from it...but v covers jin eyes and asks him to come along with him...and jin makes a deal with icarus (v) that he will come along with v if icarus leaves the innocent boys back...so icarus accepts the demands of jin by making the boys free from his evil
temptations.. ...so jin kisses the statue with black wings and chooses evil path to save them and finally cracks up depicting fall of good..u can see a lily flower near the mirror which depicts a girl who he loved and become depressed choosen to die in his previous life which is the reason for the sufferings of his friends after his death, so he regrets for not thinking clearly before he died in his past and this is connected to awake mv..and v (icarus) was the one who fought against his surroundings and killed his father to save her sister from him in his past this is related fo I need u girl and run mv.....this may be little confusing because every single thing is connected with each music videos....
This may be not the fully detailed view of this ..
Fantastic reaction, guys. The first time I listened to this song, it was Jimins first notes that just hit me hard. He is 😊so perfect, and I kept rewatching that bit before then letting the rest of the song play. Then, of course, I had to watch the explanation videos. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This MV is a Masterpiece! Thank you for your reactions!
We were awed by this when it came out! We knew it was part of the BU, so we watched it MULTIPLE times and researched all kinds of stuff to figure out what it was about. This was a fun time in the fandom. People from all over the world were trying to figure it out.
It's all about loss of innocence and temptation. I loved it when I first saw it. 💜
The fake love video got me into BTS. You will be blown away with that one too because the song is even better.
In addition to the explanation video recommended, the dance practice for this is amazing
There is a RUclips video of BTS watching this MV for the first time ( they do this with multiple other MV too )
There's japanese ver of blood, sweat and tears too kekeke that MV is good too
Two month too late but I want to say, you need to watch the dance practice video! There you can see the syncronisity even more! If they do the jumps, which every one does differently, you just hear one thump, if they land, that is how exact they are!
🤣🤣🤣I love your reactions 💜💜💜thank you for the video!
everyone and their momma in kpop community and industry vibed to this.
BTS is top tier!!!
You guys are about %70 percent done with the wings album now 😂 you should react to the last 5 songs and then you guys can say you've listened to your first bts album then!! Wings is also my favorite bts album absolutely love every song on it!
one of my favorites...
i fucking love y'all omfg this is tew funny 😭 y'all are in for a fucking ride bcs it only gets better
Thank you Maria!! We are looking forward to it!
Guys, you really should react to the explanation of Blood Sweat & Tears: What Does it All Mean? It's very interesting!
BS&T is the reazon why new era kpop mvs are like movies it was really the standard back then
I want to say in my opinion this was THE comeback of bts it was breaking records the were winning awards everyone was talking about the looks, the dance, the song I also had the honor of watching it back in 2016 when if first came out and it blew my breath away it was amazing!!
Loved the reaction! I can’t wait for more BTS reactions.
You guys have to watch the dance practice videos! Run BTS, their variety show, is what got me into them before I knew any of their music cause they made me laugh. I started listening to their music and when I watched the dance practice videos they really hooked me in 😮💨
Symbolism. 💜💜💜💜 SUGA is the one playing the instrument.
today is my bts marathon and i chose to watch all your video reaction of my babies 😂💜gosh i’m missing them already 😭
About your ending convo after the MV, that was exactly me. This was the first MV I ever watched from them back in 2016 when I heard about them. It was literally down the rabbit hole from then on.
This is just so f..kin awesome 🔥💜♾️💟💜✌️🇮🇪
BTS music is ....let you go back and rewind to watch and sing again😊😊
When it came for the first time, i was just in shock. It made me fell in love with them like 100x.
You guys continue being among my favorite reactors. So fun watching you guys, always a cool discussion. 💜
Glad you enjoy it! - A
I have really enjoyed your visit your videos as my top three! I love your analysis of them and who they are and a good description of their work❤ just on a little sidenote darn the cousin is gorgeous! I’m curious said you were in the military what division? I’m thinking the Marines a special forces? Either way I enjoy your critiquing their work!
The Japanese version video is great as well 😊
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR REACTIONS!
Thank you!!!!
BST was my very first BTS MV and that was the beginning of this crazy ride down the Bangtan rabbit hole & the amazing ARMY life. The best decision I've made ever. For real. Thanks for this reaction, you guys. Looking forward to see more BTS reactions. Borahae! 💜🫰🏼💜
My first BTS song!!!! 😭
BST is my Roman Empire.
I really think you guys would love the dance practice videos as you can see all the choreography. And i would love to see your reactions to them.
The explanation it’s breathtaking
Felicitări BTS cei mai talentați frumoși perfecți ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
you have to make a reaction video for BTS's performance on this song, especially their performance at award shows like MMA and MAMA from 2016 until 2020
They are the BEST...No one comes close...
I live in India ,i didn't know anything about kpop This song came on vh1 channel and i was shocked after watching this video like the Level of Perfection this song has BTS Has done a great job . ❤
Love love loved your reaction! The intensity with which you three are watching and enjoying BTS is so awesome. You are really appreciating their talent. And the comment about how you missed seeing them all together….thats army mentality exactly. Each of them are powerhouses in their own way but together!….. they are indescribable.
I don’t think I’ve still recovered from watching when it dropped. It sucked me in and kept me there.
If you watch the MV and follow it with a live…🤌🏼
I am waiting for you guys to react to SET ME FREE PT 2 BY JIMIN. I’m absolutely loving all your reactions regarding BTS. Y’all are doing such a great job guys. Looking forward to your reaction on SET ME FREE PT 2 by JIMIN. You’ll love it
Based on the book Damian by hess. The key to whole video is in the written words over the painting in the first scene. Its about temptation and excess...
So I'm a newer ARMY as of 2020. I first saw Dynamite and didn't care for it much but my daughter loved it. I ended up being curious about them since I had been watching Kdramas for a few years by this time and it was Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love and Black Swan that got me hooked. I loved that there was a deep root in art. You are going to start getting into some deep meanings and metaphors so you may want to consider watching some explanation videos if you are interested in what it all means.
This is all about giving in to temptation.
Yeah! So glad you guys have made it to this point. Forget the rabbit hole, you guys are about to get swept away into the abyss. Things are about to get deep and crazy. This is about to get really exciting.
Another great reaction guys, this is why ARMY loves discovering reaction channels that actually respect BTS and all the work they put into their video's and songs, please react to the explanation video, ARMY love watching BTS video's because we all still get goose bumps because of the songs and because of the reaction to new ARMY's discovering BTS.
💙💖🖤🤍🤎💚💜
I become army bcoz of this song
Actually the first time I met BTS was through Suga (Agust D) Daechwita. Immediately went to an explaination video because I did not understand some of the references. Watched it again and I was like ... well the best way to describe it was I considered myself a life long lover of music and dance and literature. Everything was satisfied. Its as if I had been living of TV dinners and someone took me for a really good steak. I thought this is what its supposed to be. Every line, beat, musical instrument, image considered and performed to perfection. It was perfect sustenance and I was hooked.
new suscriber! im in this bts rollercoaster with you guys, lets go
Just as an FYI, Jumin wrote the melody fir this song though he’s not credited, but RM and the rest acknowledged it. 💜💜💜🥰
Y'all should really watch (even on your own time, you don't have to record) all BTS 'dance practice videos' to truly get a full sense of their choreography and talent, because I can tell y'all really appreciate what they can do
THE. BEST. EVER.
You should check out the dance practice , the choreography is next level. The mv just gives a taste of their moves
crazy that i haven’t heard this and i’ve listened to several bts songs and seen live performances on youtube. i had no idea about all the records this broke! cool to know. 😅
I was waiting for a long time... I'm glad you watched it finally. loved this reaction.
What a journey with you guys!!!!!! I'm really into this! Thank you for your work. Love from France. 💜💜💜
Okay not sure if you'll see this cuz YT has been deleting my comments so I basically gave up. For the MV "Not Today" there is a word that always throws people off in the lyrics in the Eng Subs, when they say the korean word "Baepsae" it's translated to the English word "Crow-tit" which is a small bird with short legs but sometimes "Baepsae" is translated as "try-hards". "Baepsae" is a term used for the younger generation in S.K. and bts also has a song by the same name (it's also known as Silver Spoon in English), Baepsae is one of my fav jams of theirs to blast in my car lol. It's a song that's a social commentary on how the older generation known as Storks often criticize the younger generations for their own economic situation of not being able afford their own homes, not having kids or not getting married because of the financial strain. The storks & media refer to the newer generation as the "given up" generation cuz many of them have given up on buying a house, having children etc. They tell them they just need to work harder, do better, try harder to get those things but things are extremely different from the past economic climate and it's easy to say these things when your oblivious to how hard the current situation is because you already have all those things yourself. There's a great explanation video on the song called "Baespae Explained by a Korean" that does a much better job going into the song. Just know BTS uses the word translated as Crow-tit to refers to their generation, personally I prefer the sound of the Korean word "Baepsae" much better lol.
I tried to leave this to warn you before you recorded Not Today Reaction but I guess you didn't see it beforehand.
jake was so eager to say “SEXY” 😂
Hi, guys. I loved your reaction to this - thank you.
The first time I watched this I didn't have a CLUE. BST is (apparently) not for everyone. I love symbology and depth but I had NO IDEA what was going on.
I had heard it was based on Damien by H Hesse (a book that I never really fancied reading) but I realised it was about the loss of innocence, partly loss of sexual innocence, but also existential and social innocence, and about the sadness resulting from that loss. But exactly how it all hung together evaded me. I watched the "Explanation" from Bookish Theories and that not only clarified the meanings but also gave light on the many symbols and allusions in the MV - but there remain many more for the enjoyment of the curious viewer!
Thank you for being such open and honest reactors to BTS. Boahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Actually, the Japanese MV of this song connected to the storyline better. But I like this Korean version more 😊! It’s more about the book of Damien. Really cool!
And this choreography is one of my favorite from them!
Same reaction 🤩
