Sorry Everyone for the delay in getting this out!! If you saw our community post you'll know that RUclips was being extra strict on this one. We split the video into 2 and luckily only had to add a couple of extra edits on this one. But, let's focus on the positive - THIS VIDEO!! We feel like there's a whole other rabbit hole waiting to happen 😅
PART ONE: ruclips.net/video/PfQWG_c2byc/видео.html
Liked your reaction, there is an explanation video for this MV is not BU related is based on a book of a great thinker. You should watched too to understand the MV.
THE REACTION WAS AMAZING TYSMM
Thanks guys ! It was worth the wait - always a pleasure spending time with you and a bonus when it's BTS !! Get ready - you'll have a lot of reading to do after this one !!!
Please react on The RISE OF BANGTAN documentry 🙏 🙏🙏
BU contains music videos, short films, notes, BTS World game and SAVE ME webtoon.
There are like 24-25 videos including MVs and Short films, fake love kinda comes in 20th and blood sweat & tears like 15-16 th
It's okay if you don't react to them in order but please react to explanation videos it will be helpful ☺💜
some trivia about cinematagraphy for u guys 👀:
• RM reads a paragraph of "Demian" by Herman Hesse at 2:30 in the music video. And at the very beginning, RM is shown reading "Demian" by Herman Hesse.
• At the beginning of the video, Jin looks at a painting titled The Fall of the Rebel Angels by Pieter Bruegel.
• When Jungkook is dangling on the swing in the MV 0:20, the painting behind him is called The Lament of Icarus by Herbert James Draper.
• In J-Hope' solo scene in the MV, he is standing behind Michelangelo’s Pieta.
• When V is sitting on the ledge of the balcony in the MV, in front of him is the painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, also by Bruegel.
• Tha table part: Apples are a sign of temptation and sin (apples are also mentioned in Demian). And on each plate, we see that each member has a chalice and an apple. All these things right in front of them are “tempting” them to sin.
Also the translation of the quote from Nietzsche we can see above the mirror: “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
Thank you!
also add the Nietzsche quote at 6:28: ''one must still have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star'' - theme of the whole mv imo
Daebak 😂thankssss❤❤❤❤
Ummm I think after all this time i finally understand this lol THANK YOU!!
to be honest, it's okay even if you all don't dive deep into the bu world, y'all can enjoy the song and lyrics without knowing it too💗
I agree fully.
I Personaly think that it is important, cause BTS made so much effort to make these
@@tubademir5961 Yes but it’s complicated and can be confusing so I would understand if they decide not to.
What does bu mean?

Anyways guys, I really appreciate you guys just reacting to their music, really! I'm so sorry if armys are overwhelming you guys with a lot of suggestions. It's just that we're all excited for baby armys to react to their stuff😂 (we feel the excitement, like it's our first time reacting too😂) feel free to just react to their music without going down the BU rabbit hole, we won't mind! As long as you keep on reacting and hanging out here with us!😙💜
no because i love seeing baby armys react to bst they be so confused meanwhile im smiling like an idiot
Please you don’t have to necessarily dig deep into the bu, I myself have been an army since 2016 am still learning. With time some details will come to together for you as you react to to more videos 😂😂😂😂just have fun and enjoy yourself no pressure 😊
How about The Rise of Bangtan Series
@@daddynamjoonpersonalcumdum2092 RIGHTTT😭😭😭 been there in 2016 lol🤣
@@silviarm7352 yes
Actually right before this BS&T MV, they had a short film released every week(for each member) back in 2016. It’s BU related but it’s also like a small intro to their solo songs back then. Every short film, RM will read a related quote from the book “Demian”. So for your info, the short films are begin(jk), lie(jimin), stigma(v), first love(suga), reflection(rm), mama(jhope) and awake(jin).
Also for this album, the intro song “boy meets evil “also related to it. It’s jhope’s solo and he shows such a powerful dancing skill in this mv.

@@karolinahajduk6892 @Savannah Ross hey armies don't worry it's just a bot...so just chill....
@Army💜 Yes, people have too much time on their hands. Best to ignore.
I WANTED THIS FOR SO LONGGGGG.
This mv concept is based in the book "Demian" by Hermann Hesse. This was the concept and album that made BTS win big awards!
The thing RM says it's from the book. In the book Sinclair, the main character says there are two worlds: the light and the dark world. The light world is his family, his home. The dark world it's the outside.
In the mv you can see the dark and light statues and doors. Jin is Sinclair, the fase he's innocent, you can see in his expression in the book he grow up in tentation because this outside world, his friends (like the guy that play organ aka Suga) etc. Demian is a guy that talks about the evil in the world and they bump into each other in some parts. Demian talks about things that going to be important to Sinclair.
In the end, Sinclair is hurt and see an angel of black wings that kiss him. Like Jin, he felt for a fallen angel, he's innocence is cracking (his face).
I dont think this video is SO MUCH about the BU. If you wanna see it, react to "I Need You", that's pure BU and it's the first that shows the story line. In this mv you can know the main plot of the BU (then watch Blood, Sweet and Tears japanese version and Run from 2015)
Okay, so this is gonna be a long comment so bear with me!
“Blood Sweat & Tears” is the title track of one of their albums called “WINGS” (2016). This particular song and entire album uses a plethora of references that link to one book: “Demian” by german writer Hermann Hesse. This book tells the story of a young boy named Emil Sinclair and his childhood growing up during pre-World War I. He struggles to find his new self-knowledge in the immoral world and is caught between good and evil. Already we have some clues as to what this song/MV is about: the battle between good and evil and temptation.
The video opens up with the members in a museum; notice how Jin, the oldest, stands alone. He is gazing at the painting called “The Fall of the Rebel Angels” by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. (good angels fighting Lucifer/evil angels fallen from Heaven). He is about to beggin his journey towards finding his true self and identity. On the left&right, there is a white and a black door, which represent the paths Jin can go on: the good side and the evil side.
Now, If you notice, Jungkook is the one on the swing, and behind him is the painting called “The Lament for Icarus” by Herbert James Draper. Jungkook is representing Icarus troughout the whole video. (V also represents Icarus but in a different form). The swing could represent Icarus being safe, the Icarus following orders (he is supported by a swing). Later we see a drop of wax dripping on JK’s finger which he then puts in his mouth (temptation). This is a representation of the fall of Icarus and foreshadows what will happen to him later in the video. The painting in the back also foreshadows his death. (more about this below)
V is the one falling from the balcony, representing Icarus but also a fallen angel (this scene can also symbolize the fall of Lucifer: he rebelled against God and fell from grace, tempting more angels to do so in the process, thus connecting to the painting at the beggining “The Fall of the Rebel Angels”, maybe this is why he smirks after he falls down the balcony). Behind him we see the painting “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This scene represents the death of Icarus (he ignored his father’s warning about flying too close to the sun, until the wax that kept his wings attached to his body melted…and he falls to his death-again we have the theme of temptation-Icarus falling to temptation). But…at 0:49 we see Jungkook again, but this time he is floating. He in this scene is dead, and him floating represents how Icarus started “floating” in the water after he drowned, connecting V’s and JK’s scenes. We also see feathers floating around and on the floor as well (being underwater). So the whole Icarus imagery in this MV comes in like this: stage 1: We see JK on the swing, Icarus being alive; stage 2: V/Icarus falls off the balcony; stage 3: The painting in the background (“Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”) foreshadows JK/Icarus when he is floating/drowned (him being dead/underwater); stage 3: the painting behind JK (“The Lament for Icarus”) foreshadows V/Icarus having no wings on anymore which is the final stage.
Now, the kissing scene. (BTW, RM is reading a paragraph from “Demian” at 2:33, if you didn’t read the book, you will not get it sadly) During the interlude of the MV, all the members run towards the exit except for Jin and V. If you notice, Jin has a very confused and scared look on his face while V blindfolds him. After that a white statue with black wings appears: this statue represents the god Abraxas-the deity is a representation of good and evil, it is not good or evil, it is both (good and evil into the same word). After that, Jin walks closer to it, takes a look at it then kisses it. This scene represents how Jin has finally embraced both good and evil into himself (by kissing Abraxas), thus destroying the world of innocence he has lived in prior to this. We then see V with his wings cut off, giving a smile to the camera (him smiling could symbolize that Jin’s growth is complete, and he finally accepted chaos into himself which leads to self betterment-theory of Carl Jung: accepting your shadow). Again, Icarus but also a fallen angel. So this whole MV is revolving around Jin most of the time, he is the main protagonist of this MV (and the BU) (his path to adulthood, maturity and acceptance of an evil realm). The quote above the mirror at 6:19 is written in German (belonging to philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche) and translates as: You need to have chaos in yourself in order to give birth to a dancing star” basically meaning that if you don’t accept chaos (evil) into yourself, you will not be able to grow to your full potential. At the end of the MV we see the old version of Jin, the one that was pure and innocent cracking, there is no chaos in him and so he cannot give birth to the dancing star.
There is so much I didn’t say here, you’ll have to watch the explanation on RUclips to trully understand how everything connects because trust me, this whole thing is cohesive and connects, I just told you the main things of this MV but not specifically how everything connects!
This is really good explanation of the mv. Thank you for sharing with us😄

@@alex__andrei ohh same I also first heard dynamite and then checked out some of their songs and became army eventually. Butter was my first comeback.💜💜
and this is where the most beautiful moment starts!!! Blood, Sweat and Tears is a leJINdary MV, Era and Song that proves BTS is more than just a group, they are way more than anything else. This song reminds me of my early years stanning BTS and when I saw this MV, i knew i needed to dive in a purple rabbit hole once and for all, and i never regretted it
actually all of their MV's have hidden clues and theories that never end. More to go guys 😭
this the first era ive been with.the iconic wings era🔥🔥🔥
I got into BTS with the birth of the BU (I’m I need u era army) but boy did BTS realllly blow my mind with wings, bs&t, and the the short films. Bc yeah they started the BU during hyyh but they really dove DEEP into it with the wings era and it’s STILL fantastic 6 years later
BU didn't start from here, it started from I Need U.

Without spoiling the BU I'll explain some things that are solely from this music video.
You guys understand the concept of temptation through this video. But it's more then temptation, its sin and the transition between a child and an adult.
The Music Videos for BTS, Even the ones that are BU have a separate story that is only for the album they are on. Like Fake Love, that is a BU video, but there are aspects that only inform its place on the Love Yourself Album trilogy, being on Love Yourself: Tear.
The same thing goes for Blood Sweat and Tears.
Wings as an album is based off Herman Hesse novel "Damien" which follows the protagonist of the story as he grows from a child into an adult. The spoken word in the middle of the song is a passage from that story.
The thesis of the story is, you have to be tempted, and to commit sins, in order to grow into an adult. Your perspective has to change on what good and evil is and at the end you will realise you are neither good nor evil. You are Abraxis.
Demian*
Abraxas* :)
Hi Guys! I love your reactions! 06:20 It's a German sentence (I'm a German Army and I was very surprised when I saw the music video 😍💜) you can't translate the meaning very well..but it says on the wall: You must still have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star. 🤞
We need dance practice and live too you will definitely can see their moves in dance practices and their passion on stage so don't miss them 😉
Haahah honestly, trying to understand the MV without knowing a bit about the BU makes it even more harder XD. The whole theme and storyline of the MV is bassed on a novel titled "Demian" by Hermen Hesse. "Temptation" and "growth" are definitely the key idea here. I suggest you look up an "Blood,Sweat and Tears" explained video since I feel like the visual aid will help you understand it better and much more easily. But yeah, enjoying their MVs face value itself is fun, but diving into it is a whole other level of entertainment.
Demian*
@@marian6641 Thank you! hahaha I always spell the name wrong for whatever reason XD
What is BU
@@Taetae16019 BU is referred to Bangtan Universe. The BU is a fictional universe, a storyline within their MVs that connect. It was fun since it was never explicitly told to ARMYs that this is a thing, its just ARMYs making theories until our theories were proven true when some MVs were finally tagged as BU.
when you paused and asked what's written on the wall which seokjin was looking at, that's a quote from nietzsche: one must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.
this mv is a significant coming of age masterpiece. even without diving into the BU, this song and mv is a story of its own. the literary, arts, philisophical, and biblical references on here is immense... truly one of the moments that separates bts from other kpop groups or any artist especially in their generation. 💜
man, to take it easy on this song, how about checking out a live perf and the dance practice. guys, thanks! i really enjoy your reactions! summer, you did so well with the intro. 🥹👏🏼💜
THE FLOWERSSSS
Do any other OG ARMYs remember how much we used to obsess over the symbolism of the flowers?? (still do lowkey) 😂😂
Don't forget about the train with dates 🤣
Soo true. Though I'm a comparatively newer ARMY, Those white flowers are a very important part of the BU.
And I'm saying this after reading the Notes😃
@@nuusu oh that one isn’t going anywhere, ARMYs will bring that up until the end of time 🤣
@@Ahjusshi_Brown yeah and reading all the notes and explanation videos was quite a journey. And do not forget the HYYH car. 😅
Not the Esmeralda flowers (was that the name?)
Don't know if your interested, but the sentence towards the end was in German and it said: "Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können.” Translated into English it means "You must have chaos within you to bear a dancing star." The quote is from Friedrich Nietzsche and I think it's longer originally, but not sure. If you want to know more about it there is a lot of information about it online!
As a 6 -month-old ARMY the BU that I've tried getting into it's REALLYYY complicated. I know the basic story and the main theme of it but some of the details of the mv's are really hard to connect with the the main story. However it's a really fascinating one that's really deep, sad and heartbreak yet really beautiful. This mv of BS&T is truly a piece of art, a masterpiece, so watching it without really understanding much is really pleasing because it all has the same vibe throughout the video, which is what makes their BU mvs so special because even though the connect to a story they can still be enjoyed separately.
edit: 2016 and BS&T are the era that started to ACTUALLY making them rise and blow up worldwide. 2016 was also the year they won their first daesang which is such a fundamental achievement for them!
If you wanna a tip, watch I Need You mv and here in youtube you can read the webtoon then watch Run (2015). In youtube you have all the Wings short videos for WINGS, I think is one hour long I think you will understand 90% of the BU. If you wanna it all, have to read notes 1 and 2
Yes it's important to note that the BU is very complex and mostly only hardcore armys or armys who enjoy analyzing little details are able to follow the BU on their own. I never tried. I just watch the fanmade summary videos 😂
@Jéssica Molinari I've watched i think xCeleste's video on explaining the BU and have watched all of the videos you mentioned. They kind of connected, but they don't completely do. I just think it's really complicated 😅 i recently found out about the BS&T Japanese ver. and i was blown away, I immediately watched an explanation video. Sooner or later I think i might be able to fully understand it, i think !
@Cassiah exactly. Although, i can't just let it go since imvery intrigued to make all the dots connected and filly understand it, I get that it's really complex. All i hear about the bu is mostly about hyyh yoonkook through twitter that i have a vague idea on lol
Im 8 years Army and understand 1.5% about BU😶🌫️😭😂
Jimin really wrote the iconic melody for this song. No one's ready for his solo album, pjm1!!😭🔥
You got so much attention from army. Thats why your video always get blocked😁
Fighting guys!!!! We love you
The MV was based on book Demian
About evil and good,giving into temptation ..the table scene was the last supper I think and also I think Jin is the only one who didn't gave into temptation from start but he did atlast by letting go of the ballon and kissing the statue also V lost his wings if you know about Icarus fall ..his wings melted away cuz he flew towards sun ( giving into temptation) and all other scenes like jimin wearing blindfold etc..this MV is masterpiece and the song is just AWESOME
This is my most fave among hundreds of BTS songs. The poetry in the lyrics, the symbolism and analogy, the imagery - all of these is heaven to someone who loves literature. Used this in poetry class; cracked my students' heads open. Made some of them ARMYs.
I still remember the first time I saw this MV, that’s how how I met BTS soooo imagine my reaction I was speechless 😳😳😳
Ikr sameee
i had to watch this video like 3 times in a row because it felt like sensory overload 😂 i had no idea what was happening or how to even comprehend the visuals but it felt glorious. thank you to that army in the comments 6 years ago that wrote a long explanation to the video so i could understand
The kiss is very important in this video. At the beginning you'll notice Jin is staring at a painting, it is called 'The Fall of the Rebel Angels'. which hangs between a white door and a black door. Good or Evil. Which will Jin choose? There are a lot of easter eggs in this mv, so without giving to much away about everything else, Jin did give in and lost his innocence, that's why his face cracked, he wasn't pure anymore.💜💜💜💜
God, reading demian and the ones who walk away from omelas, watching all the shortfilms and what each one represented for each member and their story in the BU, literally the entire HYYH era... what a time that was. Honestly, i have a basic understanding of the BU but i know it's A Lot so it's okay if you don't dive super deep into it, or at all, appreciating their art is enough imo
6:21 the phrase is from Friedrich Nietzsche a famous German philosopher. It says: „Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können“.
Translated: „You must still have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star“.
I’m such a proud German army 🥹💜
This song cemented how great BTS is! This started their journey to western world
BS&T live performance is a must watch. Love your reactions! Diving into the BU is something a hardcore ARMY does... it takes so much time but is truly worth it. Definitely for #BTSNerds out there. Don't be too pressured into diving into it, you can enjoy the songs and MV as they are. RM said all their songs are open to interpretation anyway. 💜 You do you.
This was my first video I saw of BTS! Actually, it was a lot of ARMYS fist video. While "I Need You" and "Run" were huge milestones in BTS's transition, like the first turn in their sound and popularity, Blood Sweat & Tears was the BIG JUMP. The WINGS album was the HUGE in comparison. This is where a lot of record setting really started. It gained 6 Mil views in 24hrs which was a leap and a first for ANY "kpop" group. This reached a global audience on a scale that their previous stuff had just not quiet done yet. Actually, the album right before (Young Forever) this that had songs like Fire and Save Me, won them their first ever Major award at Korean music award shows, Album of the Year. (Though there was some confusion that it was WINGS it was actually Young Forever). Anyway, this music video and album (WINGS & BST) are just EXTRA iconic in ARMYland. Spring Day & BST are probably the two "Queens" lol, there is just something extra meaningful about them and the time they were created and the impact they had on BTS journey.
It's all Good and Evil. In the museum a black and a white statue. Jin staring at the painting of the battle of good and evil. The painting is called "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" And so on and so forth.
Wow if you thought this video was confusing, wait till you see the Japanese version!!!! 😳 The visuals are stunning and the scenes are even more complex!!!! It almost looks trippy like you’re high while watching it.
Please do not react to the Japanese mv's the Japanese label gives out strikes like candy..
As far as I know as long you play the Big Hit intro you won't get blocked for BTS music videos. Plenty of other reactors watch them without any pauses.
You should watch the dance practice (it is amazing) and there is a m/v behind the scenes shooting sketch which is fun.
Their live performances at the MMA & the MAMA 2016 awards include BS&T so it is worth doing those whole performances. If you want to see JK hanging above the stage watch MAMA!💜
They said that’s a myth or maybe it’s no longer the case. Some things are ok for some channels but not for others, unfortunately. I also think that since the channel had a big growth in a short time youtube decided to target them
They copyclaim video but not blocked
@@astridjakobsen5712 Take a look at their community post
@@porpora570 i'm not sure, but it may be because they are monetizing the views. if that's the case, then they are trying to avoid the claim.
I think YT or hybe are becoming more strict so that really isn’t the case anymore… we should all be more understanding. 💜
4:15 Summer, you totally nailed it. 😏👍 Now add greek mythology like the paintings of Ikaros and the greek god Abraxus (the statue), the bible and Nietzche and relate it all to the award winning book Demian by Herman Hesse, who was a client and admirer of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (I know: 🤯! 😅).
Pls react to jungkook dreamers MV and live performance 😊💜
I'm a theory ARMY. Deep into the BU. But I've always been into lore so I really connected to the intricacy and medium of this universe. It's so complex and you have to dig for some of it because they put the story in unexpected places (random twitter accounts that pop up, they had a physical flower shop pop up in Korea that was part of the universe, live performances, merch notes...it's everywhere) and then it's told in different eras with different styles (like the HYYH and Love Yourself eras advanced the narrative literally where the Wings era and the Map of the Soul Era explored the themes with surrealism and metaphor) so it's like a big puzzle that you have to piece together with a lot of outside research and a lot of different approaches. The payoff is massive though. It is WORTH the work to get into it. It's a beautiful and interesting story and the BU content outside of MV is beautiful (the Wings short films, the BTS World game trailer, the LY Highlight reels, the Save Me webtoon, the lyric books and notes...it's all gorgeous, artful content). BUT that being said, BTS' music is so genius because you get a song like Blood, Sweat, and Tears or Fake Love or Boy With Luv and you can enjoy it on so many different levels. You can enjoy it on the surface for what it is--a great song with a great dance and beautiful visuals! Or you can dig deeper and enjoy the substantive message of the song in a vacuum (Blood, Sweat, and Tears talks about temptation for example and has a lot of biblical imagery and art references and a quote from Demian that all connect to frame that story of temptation). Or you can watch it as part of the BU and see it through the lens of the boys as their fictional characters and try to understand how it moves the narrative forward. That's part of why their music has staying power. It has so many layers with which you can engage.
No hay nada de malo en perderse o no introducirse del todo en el BU, habemos fans que llevamos años en el fandom y sigue siendo confuso. Lo importante es disfrutar el contenido, la música y las tremendas puestas en escena que nos entregan los chicos. Saludos desde Chile! 💜
Es verdad 😅
i think the complexities of bts's contents like their music videos and their lyrics ties in to their art being open to interpretation. bts members themselves have always stated that once they released something to the public is basically not theirs anymore but is rather an art for everyone to sort of own and have a piece of it for themselves for what it could mean to them
BST is the song which BTS got the big Commercial Hit as a K-pop group. Big budgets, artistic set, and etc. and their own unique concept and Captivating song, Melody and Singing ❤
I know others won’t mention this, so I have to stand up for JIMIN once again. JIMIN CAME UP WITH THE MELODY FOR BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS. He opened the song. And every Vocal if u notice are singing like JIMIN in this. Sounding like him and keeping his tone of vocal. And that is the thing captivated everyone along with the visuals and concept of the song when it released.
And Jimin’s opening Went viral and Iconic in K-pop History ❤️🔥 And the choreography of the song.
So the song is basically about the boys coming of age, loosing their innocence and giving themselves to temptations… simply means they ain’t teenagers anymore with their songs, concepts and choreography. So the song was the turning point of BTS as a group into coming of age. Not as individuals but as a group. The BU concepts or the songs concepts have nothing to do with the boys as individuals in their real life it’s just a song making concepts story made for series of albums. That’s all.
And 2016 is the year when BTS won their 1st Main award in a Music award show ( MAMA ) with their wings album. And BST is the main song of the album. So it has many significances like that in BTS history and army history.
Loved your reaction!! Blood sweat and tears is one of their most iconic videos ever. I loved the interpretations you had. The quote you couldn’t read is a german Nietzsche quote: “You still need to have chaos within you to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” A lot of this BU stuff was inspired by the 1910s novel Demian by german writer Hermann Hesse.
you already realized that bts is much more than just songs and choreography, each song is within a much bigger concept. attention to this
The song is based on the book Demian, which RM has read and has rcommended.
Jin kissing the statue with black wings is about ‘Boy meets evil’
There’s a lot of symbolism in this mv.
I can say that this mv is for the intellectual viewers.💯
I am rly looking forward to V's live performance reaction- singularity and stigma
Same here
if you guys realized Jin "kissed" a black wings angel and the only one who has the wings only V, meaning that the evil is V, thats the reason why V smiling creepy because Jin got his "trap", and after kissing the angel crying black tears following Jimin and at the end Jin also crying black tears thats the "effect" that you trust someone even that someone is evil
6:28 ''one must still have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star'' - Nietzsche
imo this is what this video is about: giving into temptation can lead to great creations but it can also lead into your ruin. see Jin's face cracking in the end
Been waiting for this!!! Hearing Daniel say "imagine if this is the first video you watch..." It was literally the first song I heard lol and Jimin and the whole concept just drew me in, been Army ever since! Enjoying your videos and your journey into the beautiful rabbit hole that is BTS 💜
i hope you guys react to their live performances at award shows more too! they did blood, sweat and tears at the 2016 mama awards with a few other amazing surprises that you will really enjoy. i also highly recommend their 2020 and 2021 mma and mama performances as well as their 2019 mama performance to truly appreciate bts' artistry, their world class talent and legendary stage performances. they get better with age.
Definitivamente deberían mirar el dance practice de esta canción!!! 👌
Siiiiiii
y un live 😭
The quote in the language you guys weren't able to read is German from the book "Thus spoke Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche. The rough translation is: "You need to have chaos within you to be able to give birth to a dancing star."
A lot of groups have their own AU/lore in kpop but imo the bangtan universe is unique in that it’s also very real situations young ppl could live through. Some of them are super fantasy.
When I watched the music show performance of BS&T for the first time Jimin reached out and grabbed my heart. He's still my bias! Even if you watch it on your own (those reactions are almost always blocked) it is so worth it.
Wings era is based on Herman Hesse's Demian. I recommend reading it; it is only 108 pages. The videos from this era have a number of quotes that RM narrates from the book. It also explains things like Suga playing the organ, the winged statue, etc. While the Wings era is based on Demian and can stand alone, it still ties into the BU. I love all the layers.
6:22 "It's in a weird language"
Me, a German who apparently speaks a weird language 🥲
Also there is written "Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben,
um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können." which is a quote from the book "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Nietzsche (a German Philosoph) and translate it says something along "You still have to have chaos inside you,
to be able to give birth to a dancing star"
It's so satisfying to see you being fazed by their earlier genious music videos. It feels like experiencing this all over again!
You guys were not ready for this & yet here many more are to come......
I don't know what will happen then.....💜
since you seem to like the mv very much, i suggest checking out the behind the scenes of this mv! And ofc the lyrics, dance practice, live, and maybe also explanation 🙇♀️
I’m happy this has basically turned into to a bts reaction channel 😂 it’s the only one I watch and I check every day. Thank you for uploading so often!
And I think the only MV that truely deserves watching the explanation is Spring Day
The German quote above the mirror reads, "One must still have chaos in one's self to be able to give birth to a dancing star." This is a song about losing ourselves to temptations and sin, thereby losing our Innocence. Almost everything in the mv symbolizes something. There's the balance between black and white, good and evil.
The editing is just 🤌🏼 I laughed sooooo hard!! Lol
yes the bu is still hard to understand even for armys that have been here since the beginning 😂 there’s still a lot of theories but the main thing to understand is that Jin is the main character and he’s always trying to save the other members and they all have like their own backstory which is why in fake love they each are in a room that represents a little bit of that but in a way it’s all connected because of Jin going back in time trying to save them , i’m even getting confused explaining it . Honestly It doesn’t matter if you guys get into the bu or not just enjoy the music videos but if you guys would like to get into it there are videos that explain everything since the very beginning starting from the I need you music video it’s just like 50 minutes long 😅
Plz where can I find it? I want to get into the BU so so much
@@djazmit8321i think the latest one was by xceleste that was the one I watched and she explained everything including the notes from the books . I would recommend that one :))
@@djazmit8321If you wanna get into the bu yourself and figure things out then definitely watch the mvs in order first and then read the webtoon and the notes … thats what is summarised in the xceleste video
@@breadjinnie713 thanks 💜
@@Nikita- thank you💜
The kiss was like a symbolism of jin giving in to the temptation thru kissing the statue hence taehyung as a fallen angel or the tempter smiling bcos it means he succeeded in his mission
I really like this channel. It's the only reaction channel where I don't hit the fast forward. I actually enjoy the full reaction even this one were they're lost for words cuz they can't really describe what they just saw. But they're pretty much chose on their remarks. Anyway,, we all know the obvious that it's all about temptation and how we end up giving in to it or struggle to give in to any temptation especially when we aspire to achieve something grand. In this video the title itself explains that they're willing to pour in their blood, sweat and tears because they can't resist the temptation. That temptation is their love for music. They sacrifice a lot due to their love and passion to their music.
YOU CAN WATCH JORDAN ORME EXPLAINATION ABOUT BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS ....HE EXPLAINED IT SO WELL... YOU'LL GET EVERYTHING QUICKLY ABOUT WHAT THIS MV REPRESENTS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please react to their blood sweat and tears dance performance from music show or their dance practice. It’s very eye pleasing. Every jumping moment u paused will see that they are really synchronised n uniform.
The statement written above the painting is in German and the translation is: 'One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star'. The painting is 'The Fall of the Rebel Angels'
The quote on the wall is in german and from Friedrich Nietzsche's book called "Also sprach Zarathustra" and it says:
"You have to have chaos inside you, to give birth to a dancing star."
La versión japonesa es para volarte la cabeza, no miento 🤷🏻♂️
Está canción tiene los mejores mv
Si! Yo también quiero que reaccionen la versión japonesa! 😭
Cuando salió esa versión yo me quedé así de WTF, master piece!
Verdad una tremenda obra de arte

Yes plz react to v singularity live stage mix
Kim taehyung being ridiculously attractive for 9 min straight
i just love when you guys get mindblowned.....its always interesting to see and know what you think
The BU is based on Carl Jung's archetype (also known as map of the soul or inner map of the person), where each BTS boy represents a trait of that personality (such as shadow, persona, anima and self) within these 4 archetypes there are several types. over the years since their first trilogy they created a path to come to accept their authentic selves and love themselves (path of self discovery). the path is : a defiant teenager( school trilogy )-> A adrift youth( the most beautiful moment in life trilogy)-> Temptation and conflict ( wings trilogy) -> Self-Love ( love myself trilogy) -> self-reflection and growth (Map of the soul, (Persona, Shadow, ego, etc…)).
There are two explanation videos that don't give away the BU. One by I'm Not Afraid Anymore and one by Bookish Theories. Both are very good in my own opinion. Also I believe there is a shooting sketch video for this song as well. Definitely check these out 💜
Yes! V's birthday is coming up!!! You must watch Singularity!! His voice is so soulful and seductive. Winter Bear is nice too.
JK was indeed hanging from wires and said it was so painful he thought he’d break his hips 😅
Funny story, this was my first BTS song/MV ever. People were talking about them back in 2016 and I had fomo and watched just this one MV. It wowed me, but I never watched/heard anything again until March 2023. Now I’m ARMY, BTS consumed my entire life 😂 💜 AFBF
It was so fun watching you guys. lol. I really appreciate you wanting to learn the BU but yes, it is ok for you not to dive into the BU yet. I have learned BU a little bit later also. I actually watched their MVs sequentially since I was not understanding their MVs lol so then I read and watched videos about BU. But, really, I appreciate you learning the meaning of their songs before diving into it. I am an ARMY for years now but there are lot of contents still lol. Honestly, BTS and ARMY, we have our own universe and I can say it is fun. And, I am not leaving them, and I will wait for them until they comeback. Apobangpo !
Oh, and please dont get tired of BTS lol
It's completely your choice but you need to deep dive in BU to understand this masterpiece, to get the answers of your all questions, to know what's happening in this mv 😂😂
You're doing AMAZING, navigating all this complexity! At Bangtan Library (Twitter, Discord, Mastodon, RUclips, WordPress), we're spending a whole THREE MONTHS (Dec 2022- Feb 2023) guiding ARMYs through the depths of Wings! And there will still be things left to say, haha!
Honestly, everyone gets so curious about the BU and then goes “that’s too much, we’re not ready” but then they proceed to watch every video in the BU 😂 all you have to do is watch them in order and then go from there little by little when it comes to other materials/short videos. You have already watched a bunch of them so they make more sense when you watch them in the order of the BU universe (there is info on YT and online of what the order is)
THANKSSSSSSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING😭💜💜💜💜 IT MADE ME MORE EXCITED THAT YALL MENTIONED BTS UNIVERSE SO I RECOMMEND TO REACT TO THEIR "I NEED YOU" MV ORIGINAL VER. 19+ 😅 ITS ACTUALLY THE VERY BEGINNING OF THEIR UNIVERSE AND THEN THINGS WILL BE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE🤣💜
The BU is not hard to understand. It’s complicated to put together since it’s scattered on different mediums. If one day you want to dive into it we’ll give you the tools to understand it, don’t worry 💜
6:15 Editor X knows damn well what to highlight and I love it 😂🥵
😉
I’m impressed you guys hit a lot of points about the storyline - never worry about it being “wrong” because nothing is wrong it’s all interpretation
Please react on blood sweat and tears dance practice too💜
Tal vez en alguna oportunidad podrían reaccionar al detrás de escena de estos videos, para ver un poco todo el trabajo qué hay detrás, que de verdad es increíble 🤯
i love this. this is like watching the videos with friends.
Black wings = fallen angel (the personification of losing one’s innocence and giving into temptation)
Please react to "spring day" guys love your reactions keep going BORAHAE 💜
Plz react to the explanation video of this song.... It's based on the book Demian by Herman Hesse.... Everything is related to that book.... Very little of it is related to BU.... So it's not gonna be a problem.... But plz do react it means so much more....
The references are from the book Dimain. It's about good & evil. Jin kissed the statue that represents as lucifer(represented by V). That means he submits to him. And after submitting to lucifer, his face starts cracking following the whole body. This means when you submit to the devil, you'll bring destruction to yourself!
Watch wings trailer please. This Blood sweat & tears is from the iconic "Wings" album. So watch Wings trailer first, then Euphoria Mv. Then the resr songs serially and then you'll understand everything!
That guy floating in the air is JungKook. He loves to do the stunts...
editor xen knows what army exactly rewinds and watches and zooming them on purpose
pls react to Blood Sweat and Tears dance practice?
YES PLEASE

BLOOD SWEAT and TEARS:
The song is based on the book “DEMIAN” by Hermann Hesse which focuses on a young man who vacillates between light / dark, good/ evil and the people who mentor him.
You will notice that:
JIN
*Jin Does NOT SING at all in this song! (Jin literally has no verses ….)
*Jin is the protagonist in BTS storyline and is the subject being tempted in the MV
BTS
*All remaining 6 members and paired up; 1 older member “mentoring” 1 younger member (RM with JK, Suga with Jimin, Jhope with V)
What got me was the religious references and greek mythology that I find interesting (and my comments focus solely on that):
THE PAINTINGS Pt 1: THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS
*Jin is staring at the painting called THE FALL OF THE REBEL ANGELS in which heavenly angels are fighting fallen angels (demons) for the souls of man
*Jin stands between two doors one “light” the other “dark” depicting the choices he can make (good or evil)
DARK STATUE
*One of the “dark statues” (seen when Jin is looking at the painting) is “PERSEUS Holding the Head of MEDUSA”
“LA PIETA” Statue of the Virgin Mary and Crucified Christ by Michelangelo
JHOPE who is seated in water (water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit) in front of the statue “LA PIETA” by Michelangelo, in which is the Virgin Mary is holding a Crucified Christ who just died for the very sins / temptation BTS are alluding to in the song. The face of the Virgin Mary explodes near the end of this song signifying Jin’s choice of evil over good.
When Jhope shoot the arrow at V it allude to scripture:
Psalms 58:7 “Let them flow away like water that run off, when he aims his arrow let them be like headless shafts”.
Psalms 12:21 “You will put them to flight, you will aim at their faces with your bow”
Jhope literally shoot the arrow at V face which then multiple colors splatter over it.
THE DINNER TABLE
Abby said it reminder her of Alice in Wonderland but it is actually a take on the painting of “CHRIST AND THE LAST SUPPER”. However, THIS meal consists of a single “apple” (temptation) of which each member has on his plate.
THE DOOR OF LIGHT
ALL the member eventually chooses to go through the door with a blinding light coming from it EXCEPT Jin and V. Jin turns to the dark winged statue (fallen angel) and V covers his eyes to blind him of the truth.
V SCARRED BACK
V represent Lucifer and his wings are attached to the statue that JIN has “Kissed” thus, JIN has turned to take in the temptation and the sin that follows
JIMIN
Jimin has a blindfold on, and some say it's to cover his eyes from religion / truth. Notice how he is tied to a door of which he can't escape symbolizing a form of bondage to sin.
SUGA and JIMIN
Sit on a glass floor with Jimin holding his “apple” while Suga holds the “blindfold” to shield him from the truth
THE PAINTINGS PT 2: THE LANDSCAPE OF THE FALL OF ICARUS
V Jumps from the balcony into the painting THE LANDSCAPE OF THE FALL OF ICARUS. In the actual painting you can see the feet of Icarus sticking out of the water as he goes under. The difference between V and JK is that V is willing to “fall” thus is his role and the fallen angel Lucifer tempting Jin to sin.
THE PAINTINGS PT 3: THE LAMENT OF ICARUS
Notice the painting behind JK as he is suspended in air is that of THE LAMENT OF ICARUS and shows Icarus falling to his death. It alludes to JK’s innocent and naivety and eventual downfall. In the Japanese version of this song, RM literally gives JK a “controlled substance to drink”.
JIN’S KISS DESTRUCTION AND VIDEO END
Jin kissing the winged statue (some say it is “Abraxus”, the pagan god or demon branded by the Catholic Church) and seals his fate with the last scene showing the man in the mirror falling apart due to sin.
AND FINALLY the title of the song:
Luke 22:44 And being in agony (crying out) He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground (Jesus on the night of His betrayal)
There are two more music video versions of BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS:
*A Japanese version (WHICH IS ALL ABOUT THE BU (Bangtan Universe)
*A BTS homemade version filmed at their shared house which is very, very funny!
I can recommend it but I feel you may be overloaded at this point!😉
Regarding this post: If you get to post on YT I will make sure to share on there as well!
Fun review of BST and Thanks for posting!
This was the first Kpop/BTS song/video I ever listened to/watched.
Probably around the time it came out too. I had heard of Kpop and thought I would give it a go. I looked up the most popular group at the time and the most popular song (because I didn't want to run into a random really bad song that would keep me away forever) and it was this. It was a struggle. I had subtitles on trying to read along and listen to the music and watch the darn video and identify these seven dudes dancing around and was all in all super confused about what everything meant and weirded out by the narrative in the middle and the kind of distressing message it had... It took me 4 more years to rediscover BTS after my brain decided wasn't interested in getting invested into something like this. How I wish I stuck to it. But also thank goodness because college would have been really difficult with my current level of obsession over BTS.
