The original "Set Me Free" is a song of his bandmate SUGA from his second mix-tape "D-2". He just released a making-of video for this MV where he talks about it's theme and meaning. Most BTS songs are rarely just surface level. Jimin is dealing with his INNER turmoil and self doubt (as well as the haters). He borrowed a line from the BTS song "ON" (same choreographer as this- Sienna Lalau) "Gotta go insane to stay sane". The director of this MV also directed SUGA's solo within BTS "Interlude: Shadow".
IM sorry if IM a bit disagree about he just making MV for the original Suga mixtape . In VOUGE magazine . This song didnf hv anything to do with Suga 's nor continuation from original . . But since the story' telling is similar , he is go with pt2 .
@@btsmylife9879 yeah but he then said that Suga’s songs is like the “beginning stage” I guess before his song. While it wasn’t intentional nor did they plan this they still go well together, at least the story telling.
@@btsmylife9879 Jimin said in that interview that SUGA's "Set Me Free" was like the earlier stage while his was the next step (hence PT. 2). Also... I'm not sure I'm understanding your comment entirely... I simply said that there is no Pt.1 from Jimin and that he named his "Pt.2" because SUGA already has a song called "Set Me Free"... I didn't say they were correlated. The making-of MV video was in regards to JIMIN's "Set Me Free"... the comment had nothing to do with SUGA's song.
Set me free is not about breaking free from BTS, but breaking free from himself, from his past struggles and the way people and opponents want to stuck him in a box. Jimin had a long and difficult journey for loving himself, playing with his différents "faces" /images/filters. He recently said : "« "Set Me Free Pt.2 was created when I was feeling lost and depressed. I was determined to overcome those feelings and had lots of those thoughts. It's a song that contains a lot of my emotions from then. Just like how we overcome challenges and get lost again. There are things we can't escape from as if we're on a hamster wheel. That's what I wanted to express". There is a lot to say about this masterpiece, the links with one of his previous song "Lie", the panopticon setting, the lightning pulsing like a deep breathe, the choreography of course, the shell/spiral/caterpillar/cocoon/Fibonaci sequence, the dialogue between Jimin's inner voices : the angry one with autotune, the soft and hopeful one without, the lyrics ... but I will let this task to other fellow Armys who speak a better english than me. Aniway, I'm glad you react to Jimin's solo and I enjoy your reaction. "you're nice, keep going" (Jimin's quote ;) )
Even more appropriately ~ “You nice, keep going” Was Jimin talking to himself, when asked if he could give a message to his younger self what it would be. Just like this song is about himself, and talks about his younger self as well.
Your English is just fine and you said this well and fully. I am an American speech-language pathologist and part-time college professor on the side, at night. Trust me. You do wonderfully. Borahae 💜
To me, it's not about breaking free of BTS, it's about breaking free from his "opps" like he says in the song. Breaking away from his haters and doubters and people who question his voice, etc.
Yep. You’re going to find out really quickly that Jimin can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants to do. And be humble about it all at the same time. 😂
@@nickforell1 3:46 You have interesting interpretation of SET ME FREE but I don't think it's about breaking away from the band and I'll explain it to you why First of all the MV's background is quite strange. Cause it looks exactly like they are in PANOPTICON which is a type of prison wherein all the cells are visible from the center of the building. The prisoners in the cell however can never tell if they are being guarded or not, which gives the eerie feeling that someone is always watching you even if it's the contrary. This is basically symbolizing how they live their life as an idol It might be just a coincidence however the Set Me Free Pt.2 poster is exactly the same thing, the background image represents a panopticon hence just like the first line of Serendipity (Jimin's solo song) "None of this is a coincidence" Also I don't think the set me free he is referring to is to break away from the band or expanding his solo music career But from the hate and everything else he has been dealing with throughout the years. It must be noted that Jimin is the most hated member in BTS and he has suffered a lot like receiving death threats and etc. but anyways for me I guess this is just his way of breaking free of himself. Yes, I typed it right, it's himself The 'him' that others are trying to portray as him and the part of 'him' that he was always facing against. It's quite complex to explain. But should I just say that his greatest opponent was always himself? Not the haters, or whatever there is. From his first solo song alone called Lie He already showed that he is in inner conflict with himself and he can't escape And that lie continues to grow in Love yourself: Serendipity and everything after that. But it stopped in Map of the Soul: Shadow when he released his third solo song Filter cause he accepted that lie, or should I say he embraced that lie hence it's no longer a lie so in Set me Free, he is finally freeing himself. Hence the album title "Face", not just the face as in the facial features of a person cause I'm pretty sure that what other people would mostly think, but anyways the "face" he is referring to is also "face" as in to face something. Face yourself Face your shadow Face your face I guess that's probably why in the covers of his face album, there's this circles resembling ripples of water Cause when you look at the ripples of water, you would FACE the reflection of your FACE Which is genius 👏 Unfortunately, a lot of people wouldn't get it and would just look at his cover like it's just a plain cover with no creativity or whatsoever. Without knowing it's actually a masterpiece. If you still think this songs aren't connected to the other songs, you should look at the lyrics cause he literally copied the line "Going insane to stay sane" from ON by BTS which talks about fighting and embracing the pain. Secondly, is the choreography. He also recreated the iconic choreography in 'Lie' were he is lifted up while he sang the lines "Caught it a lie, please find the me when I was pure, I can't escape from this lie, please bring me back my smile" "Caught in a lie, please take me out of this hell, I CAN'T ESCAPE from his pain, please save me I'm being punished" Anyways, Set Me Free is literally like Lie part 2, cause he is finally breaking free from his cocoon. And now he is free like a butterfly. Also the great similarities between lie and Set me Free pt.2 is the creation of the iconic screaming or howling of voices in the background. Also y'all might not notice this but in the entire choreography of Set Me Free pt.2, he's like recreating the life cycle of a butterfly. In the beginning he's in the center of the backup dancers, the dancers being the leaf and him being an egg, afterwards the dancers would form like round like formation (a.k.a the Fibonacci spiral "Nature's Universal Rule in short THE GOLDEN RATIO) the spiral is found throughout nature and put simply represents our ever evolving journey in life. Also in that spiral also symbolize a caterpillar being curled up, then at the end of the MV they would surround him and lift him up pretty much looking like a cocoon and when he broke free he already changed outfit (a.k.a he transformed like a butterfly) ( Those actions are like METAMORPHOSIS of a butterfly which also means the change of form in an individual after hatching or birth) It's also interesting how the surprise outfit change is also connected to his third solo song Filter were he 'magicaly, changes clothes. Just like the changes of outfits in Filter, his clothing in this MV gradually changes, from fully clothed, till he gradually revealed some of his skin, till in the 2nd verse were he fully exposed his skin with all these tattoos written in German from a german poem by Rainer Maria Rilke in the late 1800s that says: "I live my life in ever-widening circles that stretch themselves out of all things, I won't perhaps complete the last one but I intend on trying" "I circle for thousands of years and I don't know, yet am I a falcon, a storm, or a might song". The poem ask 3 questions: 1. Am I a falcon that meant to fly above everyone 2. Am I an upcoming storm meant to destroy everyone 3. Or am I a great song meant for everyone to love Anyways when he he was lifted, he magically re-appeared with white clothes. So yeah, the changes of outfits just represents the gradual change or the growth of himself and the last part is were he completely broke free (He's not just revealing his skin to show off) Lastly, I'll explain why he decides to symbolize himself as a butterfly and not other animals like a bird that symbolize freedom. The reason is simple, he is afraid of butterflies. So technically FACE your fears Embrace your shadow and become what you are afraid of In his case, the butterfly which is himself So yeah the MV and the song is not as simple as most people think. It has lots and lots of layers and for all the people who doesn't really know much about him, I completely understand that they won't like it or take this song too seriously. I've already seen a lot of people that had criticize this song cause he's using "too much auto tune" even though it's obvious that it's for artistic purposes 🙄. Also don't get me started about that so called mis used word "OPPS". And the outfit being the same with the back-up dancers complaints. Anyways, it doesn't really matter now cause he already said the f word to all of his opposition so he no longer gives a damn 👏👏. This is truly a character development. "Look at me now I won't stop even if they mock me Going insane to stay sane Raise your hands for the past me Now set me Free "
@@rafaelsmith5737 You are my hero! Thank you for putting into words what I feel! You hit every nail on the head. What I love most is the way I can FEEL his F you to the haters and critics...He did not come to play and is not to be trifled with anymore. I completely agree about the layers and am so grateful to have come to know Jimin and how artistically genius he is. What an amazing time to be alive!😊
@@poppykopsidas3589 Well thank you so much for reading my whole essay That comment alone took me hours but I ain't complaining, all this free time is all due to BTS and I can't thank them enough Especially Jimin, he's the main reason why I got into BTS and also the reason why I'm no longer in my dark days full of anxiety and depression. Thanks to them I'm still alive and breathing. Lol.
@@nickforell1 The one that always surprises me is JHope. I don't know why I'm surprised anymore but he's really just an amazing talent. You should check out some of his Lollapalooza set. Plus 100k+ people showed up for his night and he still felt the need to introduce himself to the crowd assuming that folks don't know who he is. 💜
I'm loving this era so much for them. It's a chance to do what they really want as an individual artist and really shine :) Hobi and RM already knocked our socks off this year with their solo debuts and it's awesome that Jimin is carrying on the trend. It's bittersweet though because so far it seems that enlistment is around the corner for each once they finish their promotions and are prepared to go. Jin left after promoting The Astronaut, J-hope just announced that his date has been set. If this is the case then RM and Jimin aren't far off from getting ready to go.
Nick, JIN’s “ASTRONAUT” is a love letter to ARMY. His farewell. The little girl is ARMY! It’s beautiful, makes us all so sad. Not seeing him regularly is difficult to deal with, not to mention the fact that N Korea Is testing nuclear. Ugh. Jin is the eldest at 30, and is so funny, caring, jokes with them and occasionally asserts hierarchy if needed for JK, V & Jimin, the MAKNAE line!
I am also Korean, but Jimin has a particularly unique tone. Also, I think that the song is a song that only Jimin can digest. The song and dance are perfect.
He is known for being very hard on himself in the past, so now he said he tried to express repressed feelings in this album, as he always tried to be very positive, but also has a darker side like everyone . For me the “set me free” is not about solo career but about overcoming the pressure he felt to be a certain way, now he is much more mature so “fu*k all your opinions” as the lyrics say. They do plan to get back after the military, but it will be a while. They are very very supportive of one another so don’t expect to see one of them talking bad about BTS or the other members, as I know it happens often in that industry.
Idk if you now this but: "I never stop, fuck all your opps" is a slang phrase that means "I never give up, I am unstoppable, and I will defeat all of your rivals/enemies." "Opps" is slang for "opponents" or "enemies". The use of profanity in this phrase is for emphasis and can be considered vulgar or offensive in some contexts. 💜 Jimin also said in the MV Shoot Sketch that it was created when he was feeling lost and depressed and that he was determinded to overcome those feelings and this song conveys those emotions
Its not about breaking free from BTS. He actually has said "I am not a soloartist, I am a member of BTS". He is literally counting the days till their reunion!!!! 😅 This is about to set him free from his anxciety, depression, loneliness that came from the pressure he put on himself, the hate and prejudice from outside. The whole album is his journey to overcome his struggles and be a new and stronger HIM! The whole album will maybe very dark, but its good to know that he accomplished what he was looking for and is sattisfied with his work. Jimin is an amazing artist and one of the most inspiring person I know.
❣️ Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self! Jimin has also said that with all the members now exploring & expressing their own individual talent , it will just make BTS that much stronger when they come back together as a group! In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
To get a bigger understanding I recommend Jimins Lie and the performance. I’m Lie he talks about how he can’t seem to save himself or free himself and he begs for someone to save him. He’s historically had a lot of issues with perfectionism, self criticism, self hatred, body issues, and there were certain people out there who would say less than helpful things to him. I believe that this song is his message to us that he is saving himself from the demons in his mind. In his performance of lie he is also lifted up by a group and seems to be swallowed up. But this time it seems more triumphant.
It's actually about breaking free from his past self, insecurities and depressive thoughts. It's about jimin finding his way out of things that pulled him down. He talks about it in the making video if you want to check out
HYBE dropped a behind the scenes to this MV and in it Jimin said this song conveyed a time when he felt lost and depressed and wanting to break out of that cycle. You feel it through the choreography, his lyrics. The solo work that each one is doing right now are all so personal and powerful. It will be crazy one all 7 are done w military service in 2025 and see how much more they have matured out of that experience.
Jimin is such an interesting guy. Though wouldn't say I've been ARMY since BTS's debut back in 2013, I was into other kpop at the time, and thus peripherally aware of them--enough to see how they changed over the years. At the outset, Jimin was so different than he is today--all muscles and bravado, trying so hard to fit into a hypermasculine mold that we came to learn is NOT him. 😄 Out of all the members, I think he stands out as slightly different. His physical appearance is more delicate--even pretty, his voice is a higher register, his style of dancing is more fluid and graceful (with his contemporary/modern dance background instead of hip hop). He has come to embrace androgyny as one of his facets. And he probably had the highest emotional intelligence out of all the members. His personality is really warm and bubbly, and he's so affectionate, he basically morphs into human saran wrap when he's around the other members. And the evolution has worked for him--he's very well loved. Different members of BTS have varying levels of popularity around the world (Jungkook and V get a lot of attention in the west), but back home in Korea, Jimin is THE "It Boy." He's just got a really special something that endears him to the public and his fans. Of course, the flip side of all this that Jimin is the target for ridiculous amounts of hate. Whether it's because of his differences, his popularity, or something else, who knows... but I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be the target of some of the vitriol he gets (like, he's just had to get used to death threats as a part of life). On top of that, I know a lot of the other comments talked about Jimin's struggles with self-worth, and yeah. It's really sad that the kindest member of the band--the one known for going out of his way to comfort the others when they struggle--can't turn any of that kindness on himself. Basically, he gets hate both from without and within. So... seeing him write and perform a song like this is truly cathartic. We get to see him evolve further into something less "idol," and more human--complete with uncensored aggression and a certain rawness... stuff we almost NEVER see from him. Like, we knew he could be fierce (he's the martial artist, remember), but most of his solo releases before have been either sugary-sweet (Serendipity, Promise) or flirty (Filter). Set Me Free goes hard! I can't wait to see the rest of what he has for us on his album.
It's part 2 because Yoongi has a song called Set Me Free on one of his mixtapes. Similar thing with Airplane Pt. 2, Hobi released the song Airplane on his mixtape Hope World, so the BTS song that came after is Airplane pt. 2 lol.
Jimin is the most talented and artistic guy ever, all through this in his dance there are clues to many BTS songs in his movements and gestures, the german poem of the Austrian poet Rilke on his body the spiral looking maze which is the symbol of the Fibonacci sequel or Golden Ratio..jimin has so many hidden meanings in this to correspond in conveying the story...he's such a great and intellectual entertainer... I love this song.the teaser for Crazy his new song off the album came out and it sounds just beautiful, jimin does not stick to one style in anything so i love it...his concept for his photofolios will blow your mind with all the hidden artistry and knowledge, deep into Greek Mythology.., jimin gives us such fun gaining knowledge..I have never seen anyone so talented in my life..😮
Jimin is one of the main dancer of BTS with background in contemporary, modern and hiphop dances. As of his vocal he have that unique kind of voice when singing among kpop and he's the lead vocalist in the group.
Jimin is on another level. He is perfect art in motion. 👍👍💙💙💎💎💎💎 The song is amazing. This is so epic!! He is the most powerful performer I have ever seen in my life and he is the best dancer and an amazing artist in the whole music industry. The MV has been #1 in trending for music since the day the song came out. The dance practice is a must see. It is currently #7 trending RUclips overall. I really love him and respect him as an amazingly talented artist and a beautiful person inside and out. Shout out to the amazing dance team. 👍👍 Thank you for reacting and listening to Jimin's song and dance.
Butterfly has a lot meaning to BTS from the beginning of their careers and is a feature in the BTS BU. Its a german poem written on his body. The set was a circle cell he said.
If you watch the shooting sketch, you'll understand the idea behind the song, and the mv better. He said at some point, he felt lost and depressed, and he knew he had to overcome those feelings. He wanted this mv to convey those emotions. (He also mentions how weird he feels without other members when shooting the MV. Lol)
I think Jimin has mainly been fighting with himself, dark thoughts. He’s extremely critical of himself. But he has also received tons of backlash, death treats etc. so I hope this feeling of relief stays with him for a long time.
To me he's talking to himself, he did the same thing in his track "Lie". He's notoriously hard on himself and this is his manifesto, enough, here I am. This track makes me sad but so proud and excited at the same time. You go Jimin, talk your shit and do you! 🔥💜
@@nickforell1 yes, incredible artist for sure. By the way, if you do more, not all tracks have an MV, whenever that's the case make sure to look for a live rather than a lyric video, especially Jimin, it's a crime to listen to him without watching him perform, he's an amazing dancer. We'll be happy to provide links if you want. Some reactors do a triple bill if you have the time and inclination - a lyric video, the MV and a live of whichever song 😊💜
To understand what he is trying to break free from you need to know his story with the haters and his own self doubts.. from BTS he is the one with most haters, that do everything to bring his solos down, so he knew exactly that they would come for him, and he is setting himself free from the past him that let those thoughts make him drown in Hennessy and night.
Thank you for your reaction! I really enjoyed it. I think BTS goes out of their way to leave meanings ambiguous and never confirm anything (apart from a few outstanding exceptions) because they think everyone's analysis and perspective is valid. Here's my two cents: I personally didn't think that Jimin was talking about breaking off from BTS - in the making video for this mv (which was released today and you can totally go watch), he says he wrote this song while he was feeling lost and depressed and it was like being stuck on a hamster wheel, which corresponds to the shape of the set. Given his history - which it's definitely not fair to expect you to know about or consider in your reactions yet - I believe this song was about breaking away from himself in a lot of ways; his worry about what people think, his experiences with hate and racism and mistreatment, his struggles with his image, his difficulties with idol life, etc. I think it was about accepting himself on a new level and finding strength and confidence and empowerment in that freedom. Obviously though, I don't know his exact thoughts and this is just a theory! Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it and you're right, it is an absolute banger that deserves all of the attention it's receiving and more! As a side note, I think you haven't yet seen enough of the members' dynamic to quite understand just how devoted they are to each other; to say they adore each other is a major understatement. Their CEO once said, "they dyingly love each other". They are so so supportive of each other's solo work and are so proud of each other, and they've all also expressed how much they miss each other during their solo endeavors and how excited they are to do music as a group again - they've said they'll be back together eventually and they've never broken a promise yet, so I trust them! They'll be back, and for now they're each taking some much needed time to express themselves individually, but their love for each other is just as strong as it's always been and I have no doubt whatsoever that they'll be brothers to the grave. (It's also worth considering that this break from group work is LITERALLY BECAUSE they have to go to the military - it was supposed to happen in 2020 but then the pandemic messed everything up, but people forget that it's been planned for a while - it isn't because they don't like being in BTS or because they're tired of each other). Sorry for my rant 😅 I hope you know that you said nothing offensive or upsetting, I just have a lot of opinions! I look forward to your next reaction! Thank you! 💜
Thank you for the reaction! BTS has not broken up...they will pursue solo activities while all eventually doing military service and plan to come back as a group in 2025. Of course, life happens but that is the stated plan. I do think there is a large element of self reflection and getting away from his own self critism...he has been self critical in the past. I'm not saying you cannot interpret things your own way but I do think he had some intention to express his inner discussion.
They have almost every music styles. What are your favs so we can give you suggestions? 💜There are a dance practice and a behind the scenes videos. The poem tattoo is from a german writer called Rilke and here is the translation: I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I will give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?
@@nickforell1i suggest The Truth Untold and House of Cards live, Promise (Jimin), Lie (Jimin), Born Singer Live, For Youth live, 00:00 o'clock, 4 o'clock, Heartbeat, Louder than bombs, Scenery, Jamais vu, Bicycle (RM), and the incredible Chicago Jhope Lollapalooza concert (the most Indi style ever seen in BTS world).
Maybe starting with some of BTS' earlier songs like "Let Me Know", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "No More Dream", "Pied Piper" to see how BTS has grown and how they have become even more amazing, as a group and solo projects...I know all of the suggestions can be overwhelming and we don't want you to feel that way. Whatever works for you Nick. Nurses like organizing and prioritizing 😊. Most important thing is to enjoy the ride my friend 💜💜💜
Bem vindo ao exército .. BTS.. Jimim é meu Bias.. desde o momento que o vi no BTS.. E sua força para chegar onde está é que me diz que fiz a escolha certa.❤
I actually believe that he's also directing this to the hate he's received. He is probably one of the most hated idols in the industry and receives death threats daily. His family has even been targeted too. Everyday on every platform you will come across the most vilest things said about Jimin and it's honestly so heartbreaking. They mock him for his vocals (being too high) and his stunning looks often calling him a woman because he is so pretty. The dancers I believe are his and inner self, the different tones in the vocals with the auto tuned was having a conversation with his heavenly vocals hence why so heavily auto tuned. Yep, there's a full story behind this MV but he did state that this was written at a time he felt lost and depressed so you can feel it, he portrayed his emotions in every aspect of this song and MV.

The poem ask 3 questions: 1. Am I a falcon that meant to fly above everyone 2. Am I an upcoming storm meant to destroy everyone 3. Or am I a great song meant for everyone to love Anyways when he he was lifted, he magically re-appeared with white clothes. So yeah, the changes of outfits just represents the gradual change or the growth of himself and the last part is were he completely broke free (He's not just revealing his skin to show off) Lastly, I'll explain why he decides to symbolize himself as a butterfly and not other animals like a bird that symbolize freedom. The reason is simple, he is afraid of butterflies. So technically FACE your fears Embrace your shadow and become what you are afraid of In his case, the butterfly which is himself So yeah the MV and the song is not as simple as most people think. It has lots and lots of layers and for all the people who doesn't really know much about him, I completely understand that they won't like it or take this song too seriously. I've already seen a lot of people that had criticize this song cause he's using "too much auto tune" even though it's obvious that it's for artistic purposes 🙄. Also don't get me started about that so called mis used word "OPPS". And the outfit being the same with the back-up dancers complaints. Anyways, it doesn't really matter now cause he already said the f word to all of his opposition so he no longer gives a damn 👏👏. This is truly a character development. "Look at me now I won't stop even if they mock me Going insane to stay sane Raise your hands for the past me Now set me Free "
Wow, I got goosebumps with that speech of yours, and that's really what our Jimin wanted to show, he freed himself, Jimin is more confident and is willing to fly further.
@@nickforell1 I also forgot to mention why Jimin used a lot of auto-tune in this song, it's not just for artistic purposes only If you notice in some parts there's this call and response sections so technically he's also trying to duet with himself The one in Auto tune represents his thoughts and the one without is his real voice And in the ending part, the auto-tune suddenly gets muffled when he was being surrounded cause that's when he's like being trapped in a cocoon
yeah so about the guide it is 100% still factual and up to date for the most part but when we say things change like lightning we mean it cause for some reason the rappers and singers decided they wanted to switch places the last like 2 years so yeah the members you know as rappers well they can all sing too and the members you know as singers so far 2 out of 4 (jungkook and jimin) has shown us they can rap i wont be surprised if the other 2 (jin and V) end up learning to rap (before anyone says yes i know the ddaeng vocal line performance but only jungkook and jimin has really seriously rapped in a actual recorded song unless you count V's jump verse but i mean in 2023 - future if jin and v drop a rap track like jimin i wont be surprised lmao)
@@nickforell1 if interested in seeing him rap more I recommend Tony Montana by Agust D (aka Suga) (but live performances because he doesn’t rap on the recording one). ruclips.net/video/pjFLoihFXZE/видео.html
Dude, the Dance Practice video for this song is even more dramatic than the mv. As a dance practice video should be, it focuses on the detail of the choreo, so you get to see so much more than we did in the mv. Would be interested in your reaction to it.
Hey Nick! Jimin just released the breakdown of this video! it gives more insight on his thoughts. This is something that Jimin has never done before. Thank you for your reaction as always!!!
@@nickforell1 I've been a little under the weather but all good. I was curious if you were going to react to this right away. Can't wait for the next one. 💜
So glad you didn't wait and chose to react to this now, when it's all the buzz! Appreciate the effort you're making with these reactions! For a more stripped-down performance that focuses on their vocals and ability to communicate, I would suggest that you check out their NPR Tiny Desk concert. For vocal-line only performances, you can try watching their live performances of The Truth Untold, and Zero O'Clock. In terms of iconic MVs, you could look at Blood, Sweat & Tears (a must!), Fake Love...their English-only songs like Dynamite and Butter are easy for English speakers to get into...and their oldies but goodies like Fire, Dope and Mic Drop. And you should really check out their dance rehearsal for Run BTS.
Гений танца и вокала , нравится что он работает много над собой! И наконец отбросил свой перфекционизм ! И посла хейтеров ! Как работает с коллективом , тёплые взаимодействия с танцорами! Хореография супер!
Jimin mostrado su inmenso talento, una obra de arte de amplio espectro. Los artistas también destacan brillantemente en solitario. Te sugiero, si te apetece seguir ahondando en sus trabajos individuales, que mires Singularity de V, te aseguro que te sorprenderá. El vídeo es una obra de arte, y el directo para morirse. Te recomiendo que hagas una revisión doble de ese maravilloso tema, vídeo y directo. El bello V se sale también.
Sooooo. Technically there isn’t a Part 1, it’s named Part 2 because there’s another earlier song release by Suga called “set me free”. Even though they’re not really meant to be related Jimin said this is sort of the other side of the “set me free” concept. Jin said it much better than I just did in the behind the scenes video.
The behind the scenes was released today. He explains some of his thoughts on why he did things. HE will be on Fallon Thurs. and Friday. A new video friday too and Next week he will be on drink with Suga Suchwita.
I'm still having goosebumps....this song is too good & meaningful...... Jimin nailed it..... ARMYs are still in shock... Btw reacts to 'Lie' by Jimin ( album - Wings) ...u will love it too....
He is wanting to be set free from his self doubts and the feelings he went through during the pandemic, not from BTS or for his solo career. He explained it💜💜
Yes. They ARE getting back together after they all serve in the military! Estimated 2025. They addressed that subject in a song you will want to check out..."The Best is YET TO COME".
These lyrics are deeper than you first think. According to Jimin he didn’t handle the pandemic in the healthiest of ways. He has shared more with Army since this song came out. BTS member Suga interviewed Jimin on his RUclips show Suchwita EP7. Jimin was very candid. You can hear the autotune and his natural voice talking. The song is about him finally finding his true self that got lost in the storm of the pandemic. The guys are always sharing their hearts with ARMY. That is one of the reasons they are so popular. People relate.
Urge of being free... I can feel it through bottom of my heart... Because of some things i was very upset and while scrolling youtube i found you... You made my day... Thanks for your appreciation to our boys... And jimin he is my comfort since i found bts in 2021...
Don't worry about recognizing them and knowing their name... all of us struggled at th beginning... and now we recognize their shadows hehehe In my opinion, you nailed it! I had the same thought... the backdancers representing his thoughts, his feelings: chaotic at the beginning, while the song goes on, they are more organized, but still not letting him "escape". At the end, once they are all stand up, dancing in the same wave and looking up, they are ready to accomplish the transformation and finally release the butterfly. Thanks for your reaction! There is so much to react! Before the announcement about the alistment they alread had a huge discography, but after it, woooow, it's like a flood of masterpieces!! They want to be sure we won't have reasons to forget them (as it was possible hehehe)
If you follow BTS' journey and see a lot of behind the scene, you will find that Jimin always hard to himself. He always feels that he is not good enough (He is so much better now). In this song, Jimin telling us about his struggles. In this song, you hear so many different voices of Jimin and all the heavy auto tune is showing how Jimin is trying to find his voice. It is not because he can't sing but it's about the concept that he has for his song. The choreography also shows how he struggles to get out of the darkness and at the end how he finally free (he is in white clothe) The tattoo on his body also connected to this. It is a German poem This was the poem written on Jimin's chest by Ranier Maria Rilke. “I live my life in widening circles” Rainer Maria Rilke Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen, die sich über die Dinge ziehn. Ich werde den letzten vielleicht nicht vollbringen, aber versuchen will ich ihn. Ich kreise um Gott, um den uralten Turm, und ich kreise jahrtausendelang; und ich weiß noch nicht: bin ich ein Falke, ein Sturm oder ein großer Gesang. I live my life in ever widening circles, each superseding all the previous ones. Perhaps I never shall succeed in reaching the final circle, but attempt I will. I circle around God, the ancient tower, and have been circling for a thousand years, and still I do not know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a continuing great song? You can see circle in the room and ceiling, dark and light, black and white, trapped?, chaos, struggle, etc. It is ART.
The choreo matches the song so well. Order from chaos. And the use of voice modulation (which he doesn't need) so it makes it sound like a different/inner voice talking to him. So cool. And this was just a pre-release! His main single is out on Friday and I have a feeling it is going to be epic! If you want to do another 'getting to know BTS' video watch 'The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: The Story of BTS (updated ver)' by Rice Squad channel. This explains their rise up the music industry, I think you would enjoy it. 💜
@@nickforell1 You don't need to be sorry. I fully understand that ARMY are from all over the world with all different time zone. So the best time for you to do premiere, live or post is your best time. Because anytime you post, there will always be somebody that watch, sleep, works, etc 😂 So as long as it is in youtube, we can always watch it anytime 💜
I have posted this to weverse as well but I have been thinking a lot about what the choreography and dancers represent and I think it's a critique of being an artist trying to survive in the fandom culture and how it can both at times lift you up and devour you. At times the choreo can feel both protective and destructive, supportive and harsh, frenzied and controlled/coordinated. I think these juxtapositions are what make it so captivating.
Gracias x tu reacción al gran trabajo de Jimin son tan geniales como grupo e individualmente son fabulosos deseo q puedas seguir adelante en este mundo del q no s puede retornar porq encuentras tanto talento y amor por la música son fantásticos
Jimin would never want to be free from BTS. None of them. They always say it, BTS is their identity. Never say things like they want to run away, or they don't like each other, because it is not true. They love each other and they love army. They will be back as a group again from 2025, hopefully until forever.
Going insane to stay sane is a callback to ON - which you have already seen. Butterfly is a older song by BTS and has been mentioned in several members solo works lately. I would recommend watching official videos - but also dance practices - you will see their full talent!!! Also award show performances are a must as the stages are exceptional!! Have fun on your journey from a "older" ARMY who has seen a lot of live music, but seeing BTS live was on a whole other level!
There is lots of references from the song's name to the butterly to their past songs together, or solo songs. I'm sure everybody have given you the full list already. 💜 Butterfly is the song that made me their fan. And ARMY was the one to make me wanna be ARMY. 💜
You are so Brave. To jump into something current without having any background or context to understand what he's saying. I read through some of the comments, and Army know their stuff. However, specifically Jimin is working on himself. To set himself free, to set his mindset free, to set his old thoughts away. And yes his opposition away. The best thing to do is find an article where Jimin himself...in his own words...explains what he was trying to say and portray. If you didn't know..the dance practice has already been dropped. You can watch it in detail without the distraction of the set, lighting, costume, camera edits, and some camera angles. Also his hair specially his bangs are shorter so you can see his eyes and facial expressions. Good for you for being brave!
Now please listen to “ Letter”, the Hidden track on Jimin’s album. It is a complete departure from “Set Me Free”, but just as impressive. It showcases his angelic voice that we all love so much. He also play guitar on it and Jungkook sings background vocals. Trust me, You don’t want to miss it.
No one starts off knowing everything about anything. There is always a starting point, and that’s where you start, and you’re already ARMY. You saw the passion and sincerity💜💜💜🥰 Borahae. …..(you over achiever you😆😆🤣)
@@nickforell1 you're just so sincere and engaged and educated enough to feel and comprehend the talent of the boys. I love your attitude and wish you had more views and posted more about BTS ❤
They didn't have a choice on the military, it's mandatory. Even though there were many political debates about whether they should go. BTS contributes billions to their GNP and provides so many jobs. One thing is BTS never said they didn't want to go and all have had positive attitudes going.
Nick, once again you've chosen the amazing BTS. Such a talented group of kids. I love it. I love your reaction to this too. I don't know if you read my long introductory comment to you that I left on your reaction to Hi Ren. Perhaps you'll stummble upon it. I continue to be a big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work. To BTS. You are music monsters! Your message brought to us in fun and exciting rythms. Outstanding! I'm a 60 year old woman but you GenZers make me get up and dance!! Thanks for bringing life into your music!
Es y sus sombras alredor. El mismo se juzga, el escucha a sus haters y el se cuestiona. Con el tiempo se libera y se encuentra. El poema en su cuerpo lo dice todo.
You will definitely like jhope solo work... Starting from his solo songs in bts albums, and his first mixtape - hope world...and than his first solo album 'jack in the box'... His personality, his dancing, his hopeful existence can bring your soul from the grave... Not to forget to mention 'chicken noodles soup' with becky g... And the song you liked in the introduction video is 'ddaeng' is a must...
YOU ARE ARMY: baby ARMY! Each day you do BTS, you’ll grow more & more. TV show “Run, BTS” is hilarious. You can REALLY see how they are individually & together. It is subtitled, however, it goes by so quick & it has the Korean in the same line. Just read the English. It has extra impertinent words. As close as we can get to KNOWING THEM. Also, IN THE SOOP, trips away together. Same thing on subtitles. I love your reactions, Nick. Can tell you are generally impressed & appreciate.
You're so cute hahahaha i love your reactions, thank you for reacting and for you interest on these guys, Jimin is my favorite member, I almost fainted while watching this, we'd never seen something like this from him, but this is exactly what I was expecting! On march 24th, there's a new video for his song "like crazy", it'll be amazing, hope u ract to that one too, and his full album will be released on that day as well, I'm excited. Take care and stay safe!
Gracias por esta reacción!! En el torso tiene escrito "Doy vueltas alrededor de Dios, alrededor de la torre primordial. "Llevo miles de años y aún no lo sé: ¿soy un halcón, una tormenta o una gran canción?" Texto de la escritora alemana Ranier Maria Rilke, escrito en alemán ❤️💜🇦🇷🫶
His whole album, Face, are his pandemic stories, so it's pretty dark. It's about how he spiraled into depression and was drinking too much and not sharing this with anyone because the only people he thought would understand were his bandmates and he knew they were also struggling and didn't want to burden them. This album was part of his work in processing all of this.
subscribed you today !!!watching your playlist of reacting to BTS , glad RUclips recommended me your channel..love ur reactions and supporting you as an ARMY to a newly born ARMY .. looking forward to more videos and appreciate ur humble ,honest opinion.. as JIMIN ONCE SAID "YOU ARE NICE ,KEEP GOING" AND BORAHAE💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The original "Set Me Free" is a song of his bandmate SUGA from his second mix-tape "D-2". He just released a making-of video for this MV where he talks about it's theme and meaning. Most BTS songs are rarely just surface level. Jimin is dealing with his INNER turmoil and self doubt (as well as the haters). He borrowed a line from the BTS song "ON" (same choreographer as this- Sienna Lalau) "Gotta go insane to stay sane". The director of this MV also directed SUGA's solo within BTS "Interlude: Shadow".
Okay that makes much more sense 😮
IM sorry if IM a bit disagree about he just making MV for the original Suga mixtape .
In VOUGE magazine . This song didnf hv anything to do with Suga 's nor continuation from original .
. But since the story' telling is similar , he is go with pt2 .
@@btsmylife9879 yeah but he then said that Suga’s songs is like the “beginning stage” I guess before his song. While it wasn’t intentional nor did they plan this they still go well together, at least the story telling.
@@btsmylife9879 Jimin said in that interview that SUGA's "Set Me Free" was like the earlier stage while his was the next step (hence PT. 2). Also... I'm not sure I'm understanding your comment entirely... I simply said that there is no Pt.1 from Jimin and that he named his "Pt.2" because SUGA already has a song called "Set Me Free"... I didn't say they were correlated. The making-of MV video was in regards to JIMIN's "Set Me Free"... the comment had nothing to do with SUGA's song.
I have been WANTING someone else to notice the line from On, and I had so many chills hearing it again ❤️
Set me free is not about breaking free from BTS, but breaking free from himself, from his past struggles and the way people and opponents want to stuck him in a box. Jimin had a long and difficult journey for loving himself, playing with his différents "faces" /images/filters. He recently said : "« "Set Me Free Pt.2 was created when I was feeling lost and depressed. I was determined to overcome those feelings and had lots of those thoughts. It's a song that contains a lot of my emotions from then. Just like how we overcome challenges and get lost again. There are things we can't escape from as if we're on a hamster wheel. That's what I wanted to express". There is a lot to say about this masterpiece, the links with one of his previous song "Lie", the panopticon setting, the lightning pulsing like a deep breathe, the choreography of course, the shell/spiral/caterpillar/cocoon/Fibonaci sequence, the dialogue between Jimin's inner voices : the angry one with autotune, the soft and hopeful one without, the lyrics ... but I will let this task to other fellow Armys who speak a better english than me. Aniway, I'm glad you react to Jimin's solo and I enjoy your reaction. "you're nice, keep going" (Jimin's quote ;) )
Gotcha that adds a level of emotional severity 😢
That’s great insight thank you!
Even more appropriately ~
“You nice, keep going”
Was Jimin talking to himself, when asked if he could give a message to his younger self what it would be. Just like this song is about himself, and talks about his younger self as well.
Your English is just fine and you said this well and fully. I am an American speech-language pathologist and part-time college professor on the side, at night. Trust me. You do wonderfully. Borahae 💜
I totally agree with @pamelagreenhalgh1318, well said!! Your English is wonderful
To me, it's not about breaking free of BTS, it's about breaking free from his "opps" like he says in the song. Breaking away from his haters and doubters and people who question his voice, etc.
I like that interpretation. It’s cool to see him do his own thing and own it.
nah it’s breaking free from bts
@@asanlay9620 Learn about jimin first if you're going to open your mouth lmaooo
@@asanlay9620 See. Another hater came..... Can you just set him free?
Yep. You’re going to find out really quickly that Jimin can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants to do. And be humble about it all at the same time. 😂
Yeah, it was pretty amazing! Sky is the limit
@@nickforell1 3:46 You have interesting interpretation of SET ME FREE but I don't think it's about breaking away from the band and I'll explain it to you why
First of all the MV's background is quite strange. Cause it looks exactly like they are in PANOPTICON which is a type of prison wherein all the cells are visible from the center of the building. The prisoners in the cell however can never tell if they are being guarded or not, which gives the eerie feeling that someone is always watching you even if it's the contrary.
This is basically symbolizing how they live their life as an idol
It might be just a coincidence however the Set Me Free Pt.2 poster is exactly the same thing, the background image represents a panopticon hence just like the first line of Serendipity (Jimin's solo song) "None of this is a coincidence"
Also I don't think the set me free he is referring to is to break away from the band or expanding his solo music career
But from the hate and everything else he has been dealing with throughout the years.
It must be noted that Jimin is the most hated member in BTS and he has suffered a lot like receiving death threats and etc. but anyways for me I guess this is just his way of breaking free of himself.
Yes, I typed it right, it's himself
The 'him' that others are trying to portray as him and the part of 'him' that he was always facing against.
It's quite complex to explain. But should I just say that his greatest opponent was always himself? Not the haters, or whatever there is.
From his first solo song alone called Lie
He already showed that he is in inner conflict with himself and he can't escape
And that lie continues to grow in Love yourself: Serendipity and everything after that. But it stopped in Map of the Soul: Shadow when he released his third solo song Filter cause he accepted that lie, or should I say he embraced that lie hence it's no longer a lie so in Set me Free, he is finally freeing himself.
Hence the album title "Face", not just the face as in the facial features of a person cause I'm pretty sure that what other people would mostly think, but anyways the "face" he is referring to is also "face" as in to face something.
Face yourself
Face your shadow
Face your face
I guess that's probably why in the covers of his face album, there's this circles resembling ripples of water
Cause when you look at the ripples of water, you would FACE the reflection of your FACE
Which is genius 👏
Unfortunately, a lot of people wouldn't get it and would just look at his cover like it's just a plain cover with no creativity or whatsoever.
Without knowing it's actually a masterpiece.
If you still think this songs aren't connected to the other songs, you should look at the lyrics cause he literally copied the line "Going insane to stay sane" from ON by BTS which talks about fighting and embracing the pain. Secondly, is the
choreography. He also recreated the iconic choreography in 'Lie' were he is lifted up while he sang the lines "Caught it a lie, please find the me when I was pure, I can't escape from this lie, please bring me back my smile"
"Caught in a lie, please take me out of this hell, I CAN'T ESCAPE from his pain, please save me I'm being punished"
Anyways, Set Me Free is literally like Lie part 2, cause he is finally breaking free from his cocoon. And now he is free like a butterfly.
Also the great similarities between lie and Set me Free pt.2 is the creation of the iconic screaming or howling of voices in the background.
Also y'all might not notice this but in the entire choreography of Set Me Free pt.2, he's like recreating the life cycle of a butterfly. In the beginning he's in the center of the backup dancers, the dancers being the leaf and him being an egg, afterwards the dancers would form like round like formation (a.k.a the Fibonacci spiral "Nature's Universal Rule in short THE GOLDEN RATIO) the spiral is found throughout nature and put simply represents our ever evolving journey in life.
Also in that spiral also symbolize a caterpillar being curled up, then at the end of the MV they would surround him and lift him up pretty much looking like a cocoon and when he broke free he already changed outfit (a.k.a he transformed like a butterfly)
( Those actions are like METAMORPHOSIS of a butterfly which also means the change of form in an individual after hatching or birth)
It's also interesting how the surprise outfit change is also connected to his third solo song Filter were he 'magicaly, changes clothes.
Just like the changes of outfits in Filter, his clothing in this MV gradually changes, from fully clothed, till he gradually revealed some of his skin, till in the 2nd verse were he fully exposed his skin with all these tattoos written in German from a german poem by Rainer Maria Rilke in the late 1800s that says: "I live my life in ever-widening circles that stretch themselves out of all things, I won't perhaps complete the last one but I intend on trying"
"I circle for thousands of years and I don't know, yet am I a falcon, a storm, or a might song".
The poem ask 3 questions:
1. Am I a falcon that meant to fly above everyone
2. Am I an upcoming storm meant to destroy everyone
3. Or am I a great song meant for everyone to love
Anyways when he he was lifted, he magically re-appeared with white clothes.
So yeah, the changes of outfits just represents the gradual change or the growth of himself and the last part is were he completely broke free (He's not just revealing his skin to show off)
Lastly, I'll explain why he decides to symbolize himself as a butterfly and not other animals like a bird that symbolize freedom.
The reason is simple, he is afraid of butterflies.
So technically FACE your fears
Embrace your shadow and
become what you are afraid of
In his case, the butterfly which is himself
So yeah the MV and the song is not as simple as most people think. It has lots and lots of layers and for all the people who doesn't really know much about him, I completely understand that they won't like it or take this song too seriously.
I've already seen a lot of people that had criticize this song cause he's using "too much auto tune" even though it's obvious that it's for artistic purposes 🙄.
Also don't get me started about that so called mis used word "OPPS". And the outfit being the same with the back-up dancers complaints.
Anyways, it doesn't really matter now cause he already said the f word to all of his opposition so he no longer gives a damn 👏👏.
This is truly a character development.
"Look at me now
I won't stop even if they mock me
Going insane to stay sane
Raise your hands for the past me
Now set me Free "

I completely agree about the layers and am so grateful to have come to know Jimin and how artistically genius he is.
What an amazing time to be alive!😊
@@poppykopsidas3589 Well thank you so much for reading my whole essay
That comment alone took me hours but I ain't complaining, all this free time is all due to BTS and I can't thank them enough
Especially Jimin, he's the main reason why I got into BTS and also the reason why I'm no longer in my dark days full of anxiety and depression.
Thanks to them I'm still alive and breathing. Lol.
The level of talent in this group will continuously blow your mind. There's no end to it. They just keep building on the tools they have.
I’m pretty blown away that they are all so capable of solo careers too
@@nickforell1 The one that always surprises me is JHope. I don't know why I'm surprised anymore but he's really just an amazing talent. You should check out some of his Lollapalooza set. Plus 100k+ people showed up for his night and he still felt the need to introduce himself to the crowd assuming that folks don't know who he is. 💜
This song was a huge surprise to ARMY, it's Jimin in a way we've never really seen him before.
Must mean a lot to see a different side to him
I'm loving this era so much for them. It's a chance to do what they really want as an individual artist and really shine :) Hobi and RM already knocked our socks off this year with their solo debuts and it's awesome that Jimin is carrying on the trend.
It's bittersweet though because so far it seems that enlistment is around the corner for each once they finish their promotions and are prepared to go. Jin left after promoting The Astronaut, J-hope just announced that his date has been set. If this is the case then RM and Jimin aren't far off from getting ready to go.
Nick, JIN’s “ASTRONAUT” is a love letter to ARMY. His farewell. The little girl is ARMY! It’s beautiful, makes us all so sad. Not seeing him regularly is difficult to deal with, not to mention the fact that N Korea Is testing nuclear. Ugh. Jin is the eldest at 30, and is so funny, caring, jokes with them and occasionally asserts hierarchy if needed for JK, V & Jimin, the MAKNAE line!
I am also Korean, but Jimin has a particularly unique tone. Also, I think that the song is a song that only Jimin can digest.
The song and dance are perfect.
Wonderful insight thank you
He is known for being very hard on himself in the past, so now he said he tried to express repressed feelings in this album, as he always tried to be very positive, but also has a darker side like everyone . For me the “set me free” is not about solo career but about overcoming the pressure he felt to be a certain way, now he is much more mature so “fu*k all your opinions” as the lyrics say. They do plan to get back after the military, but it will be a while. They are very very supportive of one another so don’t expect to see one of them talking bad about BTS or the other members, as I know it happens often in that industry.
Idk if you now this but: "I never stop, fuck all your opps" is a slang phrase that means "I never give up, I am unstoppable, and I will defeat all of your rivals/enemies." "Opps" is slang for "opponents" or "enemies". The use of profanity in this phrase is for emphasis and can be considered vulgar or offensive in some contexts. 💜
Jimin also said in the MV Shoot Sketch that it was created when he was feeling lost and depressed and that he was determinded to overcome those feelings and this song conveys those emotions
I see so a much darker context
I’d like this a million times if I could. 😊
Its not about breaking free from BTS. He actually has said "I am not a soloartist, I am a member of BTS". He is literally counting the days till their reunion!!!! 😅 This is about to set him free from his anxciety, depression, loneliness that came from the pressure he put on himself, the hate and prejudice from outside. The whole album is his journey to overcome his struggles and be a new and stronger HIM! The whole album will maybe very dark, but its good to know that he accomplished what he was looking for and is sattisfied with his work.
Jimin is an amazing artist and one of the most inspiring person I know.
😍👍👍👍👍👍
❣️ Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self! Jimin has also said that with all the members now exploring & expressing their own individual talent , it will just make BTS that much stronger when they come back together as a group! In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
Jimin has had over 33 Million views in a few days. His fans are following him. Jiminetic Manifesto!
To get a bigger understanding I recommend Jimins Lie and the performance. I’m Lie he talks about how he can’t seem to save himself or free himself and he begs for someone to save him. He’s historically had a lot of issues with perfectionism, self criticism, self hatred, body issues, and there were certain people out there who would say less than helpful things to him. I believe that this song is his message to us that he is saving himself from the demons in his mind. In his performance of lie he is also lifted up by a group and seems to be swallowed up. But this time it seems more triumphant.
It's actually about breaking free from his past self, insecurities and depressive thoughts. It's about jimin finding his way out of things that pulled him down. He talks about it in the making video if you want to check out
I like that take a lot more actually
HYBE dropped a behind the scenes to this MV and in it Jimin said this song conveyed a time when he felt lost and depressed and wanting to break out of that cycle. You feel it through the choreography, his lyrics. The solo work that each one is doing right now are all so personal and powerful. It will be crazy one all 7 are done w military service in 2025 and see how much more they have matured out of that experience.
Well the breaking of a cycle would go hand and hand with metamorphosis
Jimin is such an interesting guy. Though wouldn't say I've been ARMY since BTS's debut back in 2013, I was into other kpop at the time, and thus peripherally aware of them--enough to see how they changed over the years. At the outset, Jimin was so different than he is today--all muscles and bravado, trying so hard to fit into a hypermasculine mold that we came to learn is NOT him. 😄
Out of all the members, I think he stands out as slightly different. His physical appearance is more delicate--even pretty, his voice is a higher register, his style of dancing is more fluid and graceful (with his contemporary/modern dance background instead of hip hop). He has come to embrace androgyny as one of his facets. And he probably had the highest emotional intelligence out of all the members. His personality is really warm and bubbly, and he's so affectionate, he basically morphs into human saran wrap when he's around the other members.
And the evolution has worked for him--he's very well loved. Different members of BTS have varying levels of popularity around the world (Jungkook and V get a lot of attention in the west), but back home in Korea, Jimin is THE "It Boy." He's just got a really special something that endears him to the public and his fans.
Of course, the flip side of all this that Jimin is the target for ridiculous amounts of hate. Whether it's because of his differences, his popularity, or something else, who knows... but I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be the target of some of the vitriol he gets (like, he's just had to get used to death threats as a part of life). On top of that, I know a lot of the other comments talked about Jimin's struggles with self-worth, and yeah. It's really sad that the kindest member of the band--the one known for going out of his way to comfort the others when they struggle--can't turn any of that kindness on himself. Basically, he gets hate both from without and within.
So... seeing him write and perform a song like this is truly cathartic. We get to see him evolve further into something less "idol," and more human--complete with uncensored aggression and a certain rawness... stuff we almost NEVER see from him. Like, we knew he could be fierce (he's the martial artist, remember), but most of his solo releases before have been either sugary-sweet (Serendipity, Promise) or flirty (Filter). Set Me Free goes hard!
I can't wait to see the rest of what he has for us on his album.
It's part 2 because Yoongi has a song called Set Me Free on one of his mixtapes. Similar thing with Airplane Pt. 2, Hobi released the song Airplane on his mixtape Hope World, so the BTS song that came after is Airplane pt. 2 lol.
Thank you as always Celeste =)
Jimin is the most talented and artistic guy ever, all through this in his dance there are clues to many BTS songs in his movements and gestures, the german poem of the Austrian poet Rilke on his body the spiral looking maze which is the symbol of the Fibonacci sequel or Golden Ratio..jimin has so many hidden meanings in this to correspond in conveying the story...he's such a great and intellectual entertainer... I love this song.the teaser for Crazy his new song off the album came out and it sounds just beautiful, jimin does not stick to one style in anything so i love it...his concept for his photofolios will blow your mind with all the hidden artistry and knowledge, deep into Greek Mythology.., jimin gives us such fun gaining knowledge..I have never seen anyone so talented in my life..😮
Would love to see some of his photopholios!
Jimin is one of the main dancer of BTS with background in contemporary, modern and hiphop dances. As of his vocal he have that unique kind of voice when singing among kpop and he's the lead vocalist in the group.
It’s SO unique, I really dig it
Jimin is on another level. He is perfect art in motion. 👍👍💙💙💎💎💎💎
The song is amazing. This is so epic!!
He is the most powerful performer I have ever seen in my life and he is the best dancer and an amazing artist in the whole music industry.
The MV has been #1 in trending for music since the day the song came out.
The dance practice is a must see. It is currently #7 trending RUclips overall.
I really love him and respect him as an amazingly talented artist and a beautiful person inside and out.
Shout out to the amazing dance team. 👍👍
Thank you for reacting and listening to Jimin's song and dance.
He is such an incredible dancer and singer. Completely blown away as a first impression
Butterfly has a lot meaning to BTS from the beginning of their careers and is a feature in the BTS BU. Its a german poem written on his body. The set was a circle cell he said.
Metamorphosis of his prior self into a new image
Never a need to apologize for what you don’t know/get wrong, most of us have done same thing. You’re precious and doing great!
Thank you Siriusly ❤
If you watch the shooting sketch, you'll understand the idea behind the song, and the mv better. He said at some point, he felt lost and depressed, and he knew he had to overcome those feelings. He wanted this mv to convey those emotions. (He also mentions how weird he feels without other members when shooting the MV. Lol)
Okay so the separation from the rest of the group is jarring but knowing is moving towards metamorphosis is a worthy goal
I think Jimin has mainly been fighting with himself, dark thoughts. He’s extremely critical of himself. But he has also received tons of backlash, death treats etc. so I hope this feeling of relief stays with him for a long time.
Thanks for your reaction, I really enjoyed it. I love this song, I think it's a masterpiece, Jimin is so talented!
So so talented
To me he's talking to himself, he did the same thing in his track "Lie". He's notoriously hard on himself and this is his manifesto, enough, here I am.
This track makes me sad but so proud and excited at the same time. You go Jimin, talk your shit and do you! 🔥💜
He's so hard on himself but then can produce amazing music like this!
@@nickforell1 yes, incredible artist for sure. By the way, if you do more, not all tracks have an MV, whenever that's the case make sure to look for a live rather than a lyric video, especially Jimin, it's a crime to listen to him without watching him perform, he's an amazing dancer. We'll be happy to provide links if you want. Some reactors do a triple bill if you have the time and inclination - a lyric video, the MV and a live of whichever song 😊💜
@@brayonne1755 Oh good call on the live performances then!
Can't wait for your reaction... Have watched this mv so many times, Jimin is so talented, love him 💜
He is extremely gifted from what I can see
To understand what he is trying to break free from you need to know his story with the haters and his own self doubts.. from BTS he is the one with most haters, that do everything to bring his solos down, so he knew exactly that they would come for him, and he is setting himself free from the past him that let those thoughts make him drown in Hennessy and night.
Thank you for your reaction! I really enjoyed it. I think BTS goes out of their way to leave meanings ambiguous and never confirm anything (apart from a few outstanding exceptions) because they think everyone's analysis and perspective is valid. Here's my two cents: I personally didn't think that Jimin was talking about breaking off from BTS - in the making video for this mv (which was released today and you can totally go watch), he says he wrote this song while he was feeling lost and depressed and it was like being stuck on a hamster wheel, which corresponds to the shape of the set. Given his history - which it's definitely not fair to expect you to know about or consider in your reactions yet - I believe this song was about breaking away from himself in a lot of ways; his worry about what people think, his experiences with hate and racism and mistreatment, his struggles with his image, his difficulties with idol life, etc. I think it was about accepting himself on a new level and finding strength and confidence and empowerment in that freedom. Obviously though, I don't know his exact thoughts and this is just a theory! Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it and you're right, it is an absolute banger that deserves all of the attention it's receiving and more! As a side note, I think you haven't yet seen enough of the members' dynamic to quite understand just how devoted they are to each other; to say they adore each other is a major understatement. Their CEO once said, "they dyingly love each other". They are so so supportive of each other's solo work and are so proud of each other, and they've all also expressed how much they miss each other during their solo endeavors and how excited they are to do music as a group again - they've said they'll be back together eventually and they've never broken a promise yet, so I trust them! They'll be back, and for now they're each taking some much needed time to express themselves individually, but their love for each other is just as strong as it's always been and I have no doubt whatsoever that they'll be brothers to the grave. (It's also worth considering that this break from group work is LITERALLY BECAUSE they have to go to the military - it was supposed to happen in 2020 but then the pandemic messed everything up, but people forget that it's been planned for a while - it isn't because they don't like being in BTS or because they're tired of each other). Sorry for my rant 😅 I hope you know that you said nothing offensive or upsetting, I just have a lot of opinions! I look forward to your next reaction! Thank you! 💜
Thank you for the reaction! BTS has not broken up...they will pursue solo activities while all eventually doing military service and plan to come back as a group in 2025. Of course, life happens but that is the stated plan. I do think there is a large element of self reflection and getting away from his own self critism...he has been self critical in the past. I'm not saying you cannot interpret things your own way but I do think he had some intention to express his inner discussion.
Every ARMY has to start somewhere. All you need to do is listen with an open mind, and the rest will come. Welcome to the famliy. ;)
Thank you Jody =)
They have almost every music styles. What are your favs so we can give you suggestions? 💜There are a dance practice and a behind the scenes videos.
The poem tattoo is from a german writer called Rilke and here is the translation:
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
I enjoy acoustic, indie, pop. I’m not opposed to anything!
@@nickforell1i suggest The Truth Untold and House of Cards live, Promise (Jimin), Lie (Jimin), Born Singer Live, For Youth live, 00:00 o'clock, 4 o'clock, Heartbeat, Louder than bombs, Scenery, Jamais vu, Bicycle (RM), and the incredible Chicago Jhope Lollapalooza concert (the most Indi style ever seen in BTS world).
@@nickforell1Thank you for your reactions. It is fun to share in your enjoyment of BTS and its members. 💜
Maybe starting with some of BTS' earlier songs like "Let Me Know", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "No More Dream", "Pied Piper" to see how BTS has grown and how they have become even more amazing, as a group and solo projects...I know all of the suggestions can be overwhelming and we don't want you to feel that way. Whatever works for you Nick. Nurses like organizing and prioritizing 😊. Most important thing is to enjoy the ride my friend 💜💜💜
@@nickforell1I suggest More by Jhope if you want to see something a bit Indie style
We all started as baby ARMY. Now that you've fallen down the rabbit hole, there's no turning back! We'll be here to support your journey. Borahae! 💜
Thank you! Cannot wait. Borahae!
Bem vindo ao exército .. BTS.. Jimim é meu Bias.. desde o momento que o vi no BTS.. E sua força para chegar onde está é que me diz que fiz a escolha certa.❤
Faço das suas palavras as minhas ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
King vibes 🔥🔥🔥🔥like always
Masterpiece💜💜💜
Thank you =)
Jimin slayed this!! Amazing vocals! ✌💜💜💜💜
Totally agree!
I actually believe that he's also directing this to the hate he's received.
He is probably one of the most hated idols in the industry and receives death threats daily. His family has even been targeted too.
Everyday on every platform you will come across the most vilest things said about Jimin and it's honestly so heartbreaking. They mock him for his vocals (being too high) and his stunning looks often calling him a woman because he is so pretty. The dancers I believe are his and inner self, the different tones in the vocals with the auto tuned was having a conversation with his heavenly vocals hence why so heavily auto tuned. Yep, there's a full story behind this MV but he did state that this was written at a time he felt lost and depressed so you can feel it, he portrayed his emotions in every aspect of this song and MV.
Once you Jimin you can't Jimout
3:46 You have interesting interpretation of SET ME FREE but I don't think it's about breaking away from the band and I'll explain it to you why
First of all the MV's background is quite strange. Cause it looks exactly like they are in PANOPTICON which is a type of prison wherein all the cells are visible from the center of the building. The prisoners in the cell however can never tell if they are being guarded or not, which gives the eerie feeling that someone is always watching you even if it's the contrary.
This is basically symbolizing how they live their life as an idol
It might be just a coincidence however the Set Me Free Pt.2 poster is exactly the same thing, the background image represents a panopticon hence just like the first line of Serendipity (Jimin's solo song) "None of this is a coincidence"
Also I don't think the set me free he is referring to is to break away from the band or expanding his solo music career
But from the hate and everything else he has been dealing with throughout the years.
It must be noted that Jimin is the most hated member in BTS and he has suffered a lot like receiving death threats and etc. but anyways for me I guess this is just his way of breaking free of himself.
Yes, I typed it right, it's himself
The 'him' that others are trying to portray as him and the part of 'him' that he was always facing against.
It's quite complex to explain. But should I just say that his greatest opponent was always himself? Not the haters, or whatever there is.
From his first solo song alone called Lie
He already showed that he is in inner conflict with himself and he can't escape
And that lie continues to grow in Love yourself: Serendipity and everything after that. But it stopped in Map of the Soul: Shadow when he released his third solo song Filter cause he accepted that lie, or should I say he embraced that lie hence it's no longer a lie so in Set me Free, he is finally freeing himself.
Hence the album title "Face", not just the face as in the facial features of a person cause I'm pretty sure that what other people would mostly think, but anyways the "face" he is referring to is also "face" as in to face something.
Face yourself
Face your shadow
Face your face
I guess that's probably why in the covers of his face album, there's this circles resembling ripples of water
Cause when you look at the ripples of water, you would FACE the reflection of your FACE
Which is genius 👏
Unfortunately, a lot of people wouldn't get it and would just look at his cover like it's just a plain cover with no creativity or whatsoever.
Without knowing it's actually a masterpiece.
If you still think this songs aren't connected to the other songs, you should look at the lyrics cause he literally copied the line "Going insane to stay sane" from ON by BTS which talks about fighting and embracing the pain. Secondly, is the
choreography. He also recreated the iconic choreography in 'Lie' were he is lifted up while he sang the lines "Caught it a lie, please find the me when I was pure, I can't escape from this lie, please bring me back my smile"
"Caught in a lie, please take me out of this hell, I CAN'T ESCAPE from his pain, please save me I'm being punished"
Anyways, Set Me Free is literally like Lie part 2, cause he is finally breaking free from his cocoon. And now he is free like a butterfly.
Also the great similarities between lie and Set me Free pt.2 is the creation of the iconic screaming or howling of voices in the background.
Also y'all might not notice this but in the entire choreography of Set Me Free pt.2, he's like recreating the life cycle of a butterfly. In the beginning he's in the center of the backup dancers, the dancers being the leaf and him being an egg, afterwards the dancers would form like round like formation (a.k.a the Fibonacci spiral "Nature's Universal Rule in short THE GOLDEN RATIO) the spiral is found throughout nature and put simply represents our ever evolving journey in life.
Also in that spiral also symbolize a caterpillar being curled up, then at the end of the MV they would surround him and lift him up pretty much looking like a cocoon and when he broke free he already changed outfit (a.k.a he transformed like a butterfly)
( Those actions are like METAMORPHOSIS of a butterfly which also means the change of form in an individual after hatching or birth)
It's also interesting how the surprise outfit change is also connected to his third solo song Filter were he 'magicaly, changes clothes.
Just like the changes of outfits in Filter, his clothing in this MV gradually changes, from fully clothed, till he gradually revealed some of his skin, till in the 2nd verse were he fully exposed his skin with all these tattoos written in German from a german poem by Rainer Maria Rilke in the late 1800s that says: "I live my life in ever-widening circles that stretch themselves out of all things, I won't perhaps complete the last one but I intend on trying"
"I circle for thousands of years and I don't know, yet am I a falcon, a storm, or a might song".
The poem ask 3 questions:
1. Am I a falcon that meant to fly above everyone
2. Am I an upcoming storm meant to destroy everyone
3. Or am I a great song meant for everyone to love
Anyways when he he was lifted, he magically re-appeared with white clothes.
So yeah, the changes of outfits just represents the gradual change or the growth of himself and the last part is were he completely broke free (He's not just revealing his skin to show off)
Lastly, I'll explain why he decides to symbolize himself as a butterfly and not other animals like a bird that symbolize freedom.
The reason is simple, he is afraid of butterflies.
So technically FACE your fears
Embrace your shadow and
become what you are afraid of
In his case, the butterfly which is himself
So yeah the MV and the song is not as simple as most people think. It has lots and lots of layers and for all the people who doesn't really know much about him, I completely understand that they won't like it or take this song too seriously.
I've already seen a lot of people that had criticize this song cause he's using "too much auto tune" even though it's obvious that it's for artistic purposes 🙄.
Also don't get me started about that so called mis used word "OPPS". And the outfit being the same with the back-up dancers complaints.
Anyways, it doesn't really matter now cause he already said the f word to all of his opposition so he no longer gives a damn 👏👏.
This is truly a character development.
"Look at me now
I won't stop even if they mock me
Going insane to stay sane
Raise your hands for the past me
Now set me Free "
Wow, I got goosebumps with that speech of yours, and that's really what our Jimin wanted to show, he freed himself, Jimin is more confident and is willing to fly further.
All I can say is, "WOW" You definitely hit the mail on the head!! You "get it"!!
What a wonderful and insightful take on this. I do think you are correct. He seems to be completely free now.
@@nickforell1 I also forgot to mention why Jimin used a lot of auto-tune in this song, it's not just for artistic purposes only
If you notice in some parts there's this call and response sections so technically he's also trying to duet with himself
The one in Auto tune represents his thoughts and the one without is his real voice
And in the ending part, the auto-tune suddenly gets muffled when he was being surrounded cause that's when he's like being trapped in a cocoon
yeah so about the guide it is 100% still factual and up to date for the most part but when we say things change like lightning we mean it cause for some reason the rappers and singers decided they wanted to switch places the last like 2 years so yeah the members you know as rappers well they can all sing too and the members you know as singers so far 2 out of 4 (jungkook and jimin) has shown us they can rap i wont be surprised if the other 2 (jin and V) end up learning to rap (before anyone says yes i know the ddaeng vocal line performance but only jungkook and jimin has really seriously rapped in a actual recorded song unless you count V's jump verse but i mean in 2023 - future if jin and v drop a rap track like jimin i wont be surprised lmao)
It was very surprising to see, I'll say that. He did such a good job with this!
@@nickforell1 if interested in seeing him rap more I recommend Tony Montana by Agust D (aka Suga) (but live performances because he doesn’t rap on the recording one).

This Is Insane❤🔥💣💣💣💣
Dude, the Dance Practice video for this song is even more dramatic than the mv. As a dance practice video should be, it focuses on the detail of the choreo, so you get to see so much more than we did in the mv. Would be interested in your reaction to it.
Wow, and the real song drops friday? So much to see!
Thanks for the reaction! i recoommend you watch the dance practice you'll love it. Thank you!
I'll check it out!
I love the way he used Autotune as a stylistic choice...he wanted something unique and he accomplished it!! The man can sing and dance like no other..
Hey Nick! Jimin just released the breakdown of this video! it gives more insight on his thoughts. This is something that Jimin has never done before. Thank you for your reaction as always!!!
Hey Jena, how are you? I will have to check that out!
@@nickforell1 I've been a little under the weather but all good. I was curious if you were going to react to this right away. Can't wait for the next one. 💜
Yes, it's Jimin... but it's always, BTS. 💜💜Thanks.
So glad you didn't wait and chose to react to this now, when it's all the buzz! Appreciate the effort you're making with these reactions!
For a more stripped-down performance that focuses on their vocals and ability to communicate, I would suggest that you check out their NPR Tiny Desk concert.
For vocal-line only performances, you can try watching their live performances of The Truth Untold, and Zero O'Clock.
In terms of iconic MVs, you could look at Blood, Sweat & Tears (a must!), Fake Love...their English-only songs like Dynamite and Butter are easy for English speakers to get into...and their oldies but goodies like Fire, Dope and Mic Drop. And you should really check out their dance rehearsal for Run BTS.
Гений танца и вокала , нравится что он работает много над собой! И наконец отбросил свой перфекционизм ! И посла хейтеров ! Как работает с коллективом , тёплые взаимодействия с танцорами! Хореография супер!
Jimin mostrado su inmenso talento, una obra de arte de amplio espectro.
Los artistas también destacan brillantemente en solitario.
Te sugiero, si te apetece seguir ahondando en sus trabajos individuales, que mires Singularity de V, te aseguro que te sorprenderá.
El vídeo es una obra de arte, y el directo para morirse. Te recomiendo que hagas una revisión doble de ese maravilloso tema, vídeo y directo. El bello V se sale también.
march 24th his album is going to release.. the teaser is out just now its really crazy
Jimim é o melhor nota 10
.0
Sooooo. Technically there isn’t a Part 1, it’s named Part 2 because there’s another earlier song release by Suga called “set me free”. Even though they’re not really meant to be related Jimin said this is sort of the other side of the “set me free” concept. Jin said it much better than I just did in the behind the scenes video.
The behind the scenes was released today. He explains some of his thoughts on why he did things. HE will be on Fallon Thurs. and Friday. A new video friday too and Next week he will be on drink with Suga Suchwita.
Oh wow, I need to catch both of those then! So much catching up
I'm still having goosebumps....this song is too good & meaningful......
Jimin nailed it..... ARMYs are still in shock...
Btw reacts to 'Lie' by Jimin ( album - Wings) ...u will love it too....
“I want to stay in this dream that is BTS for a long time because having this career is my only dream” - Jimin....
🥹🥹🥹
What a humble person
Get ready for 24th march...jimin gonna make whole world crazy..
He is wanting to be set free from his self doubts and the feelings he went through during the pandemic, not from BTS or for his solo career. He explained it💜💜
Чимин наконец-то вышел на свою дорогу ,пусть путь твой будет светлым .
🦋 JiMin is Simply 💜 Beautiful ➕️ So enjoy U 👏
I wish U a happy day ☀️
A great video for Jimin is Introduction to Park Jimin 2022.
Jimin is another level star
Truly one of a kind
Yes. They ARE getting back together after they all serve in the military! Estimated 2025. They addressed that subject in a song you will want to check out..."The Best is YET TO COME".
Okay, thank you for that =)
Jimin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These lyrics are deeper than you first think. According to Jimin he didn’t handle the pandemic in the healthiest of ways. He has shared more with Army since this song came out. BTS member Suga interviewed Jimin on his RUclips show Suchwita EP7. Jimin was very candid. You can hear the autotune and his natural voice talking. The song is about him finally finding his true self that got lost in the storm of the pandemic. The guys are always sharing their hearts with ARMY. That is one of the reasons they are so popular. People relate.
Aww yiss. My bias doing what he does best, stealing hearts.
Definitely stolen some hearts I imagine Talan haha
Si pudieras traducir tus comentarios sería genial, Park jimin un genio❤
Urge of being free... I can feel it through bottom of my heart...
Because of some things i was very upset and while scrolling youtube i found you... You made my day... Thanks for your appreciation to our boys... And jimin he is my comfort since i found bts in 2021...
Don't worry about recognizing them and knowing their name... all of us struggled at th beginning... and now we recognize their shadows hehehe
In my opinion, you nailed it! I had the same thought... the backdancers representing his thoughts, his feelings: chaotic at the beginning, while the song goes on, they are more organized, but still not letting him "escape". At the end, once they are all stand up, dancing in the same wave and looking up, they are ready to accomplish the transformation and finally release the butterfly.
Thanks for your reaction! There is so much to react! Before the announcement about the alistment they alread had a huge discography, but after it, woooow, it's like a flood of masterpieces!!
They want to be sure we won't have reasons to forget them (as it was possible hehehe)
Jimin is a vocalist singer and a dancer.
In small words is an idol
Jimin is SO hard on himself and a perfectionist. I would guess the dancers probably represent his inner thoughts and insecurities.
Ohh great insight!
Keeping it 💯 , he is a gorgeous man and we all know it .
Yes he is!
If you follow BTS' journey and see a lot of behind the scene, you will find that Jimin always hard to himself. He always feels that he is not good enough (He is so much better now).
In this song, Jimin telling us about his struggles.
In this song, you hear so many different voices of Jimin and all the heavy auto tune is showing how Jimin is trying to find his voice. It is not because he can't sing but it's about the concept that he has for his song.
The choreography also shows how he struggles to get out of the darkness and at the end how he finally free (he is in white clothe)
The tattoo on his body also connected to this. It is a German poem
This was the poem written on Jimin's chest by Ranier Maria Rilke.
“I live my life in widening circles”
Rainer Maria Rilke
Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen,
die sich über die Dinge ziehn.
Ich werde den letzten vielleicht nicht vollbringen,
aber versuchen will ich ihn.
Ich kreise um Gott, um den uralten Turm,
und ich kreise jahrtausendelang;
und ich weiß noch nicht: bin ich ein Falke, ein Sturm
oder ein großer Gesang.
I live my life in ever widening circles,
each superseding all the previous ones.
Perhaps I never shall succeed in reaching
the final circle, but attempt I will.
I circle around God, the ancient tower,
and have been circling for a thousand years,
and still I do not know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a continuing great song?
You can see circle in the room and ceiling, dark and light, black and white, trapped?, chaos, struggle, etc.
It is ART.
King Jimin👑👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
King!
Welcome to the ARMY!!!!
The choreo matches the song so well. Order from chaos. And the use of voice modulation (which he doesn't need) so it makes it sound like a different/inner voice talking to him. So cool. And this was just a pre-release! His main single is out on Friday and I have a feeling it is going to be epic!
If you want to do another 'getting to know BTS' video watch 'The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: The Story of BTS (updated ver)' by Rice Squad channel. This explains their rise up the music industry, I think you would enjoy it. 💜
Aaaa.... can't wait to see it but will have to see it tomorrow as your premier is when I will be sleep 😂
Oh sorry! It will of course be up forever to watch =)
@@nickforell1 You don't need to be sorry. I fully understand that ARMY are from all over the world with all different time zone. So the best time for you to do premiere, live or post is your best time. Because anytime you post, there will always be somebody that watch, sleep, works, etc 😂
So as long as it is in youtube, we can always watch it anytime 💜
🎉Ty for looking around
I have posted this to weverse as well but I have been thinking a lot about what the choreography and dancers represent and I think it's a critique of being an artist trying to survive in the fandom culture and how it can both at times lift you up and devour you. At times the choreo can feel both protective and destructive, supportive and harsh, frenzied and controlled/coordinated. I think these juxtapositions are what make it so captivating.
Heather that's an amazing insight actually!
There is subtitles to understand what he is singing 💜JIMIN 💜
Gracias x tu reacción al gran trabajo de Jimin son tan geniales como grupo e individualmente son fabulosos deseo q puedas seguir adelante en este mundo del q no s puede retornar porq encuentras tanto talento y amor por la música son fantásticos
His line "going insane to stay sane" is a reference directly from ON.
Also some songs I would recommend are mic drop, so what and fake love
Thank you Daryna!
좋은 리액션 잘 보았습니다
Jimin would never want to be free from BTS. None of them. They always say it, BTS is their identity. Never say things like they want to run away, or they don't like each other, because it is not true. They love each other and they love army. They will be back as a group again from 2025, hopefully until forever.
Going insane to stay sane is a callback to ON - which you have already seen. Butterfly is a older song by BTS and has been mentioned in several members solo works lately. I would recommend watching official videos - but also dance practices - you will see their full talent!!! Also award show performances are a must as the stages are exceptional!! Have fun on your journey from a "older" ARMY who has seen a lot of live music, but seeing BTS live was on a whole other level!
There is lots of references from the song's name to the butterly to their past songs together, or solo songs. I'm sure everybody have given you the full list already. 💜
Butterfly is the song that made me their fan. And ARMY was the one to make me wanna be ARMY. 💜
You are so Brave. To jump into something current without having any background or context to understand what he's saying. I read through some of the comments, and Army know their stuff. However, specifically Jimin is working on himself. To set himself free, to set his mindset free, to set his old thoughts away. And yes his opposition away. The best thing to do is find an article where Jimin himself...in his own words...explains what he was trying to say and portray. If you didn't know..the dance practice has already been dropped. You can watch it in detail without the distraction of the set, lighting, costume, camera edits, and some camera angles. Also his hair specially his bangs are shorter so you can see his eyes and facial expressions. Good for you for being brave!
Now please listen to “ Letter”, the Hidden track on Jimin’s album. It is a complete departure from “Set Me Free”, but just as impressive. It showcases his angelic voice that we all love so much. He also play guitar on it and Jungkook sings background vocals. Trust me, You don’t want to miss it.
No one starts off knowing everything about anything. There is always a starting point, and that’s where you start, and you’re already ARMY. You saw the passion and sincerity💜💜💜🥰 Borahae. …..(you over achiever you😆😆🤣)
Thank you Theresa haha =)
your reactions are the best.
Glad you like them Victoria :)
@@nickforell1 you're just so sincere and engaged and educated enough to feel and comprehend the talent of the boys. I love your attitude and wish you had more views and posted more about BTS ❤
I got the feeling the dancers were ARMY. They support him through the entire choreo. It’s so good!
I mean its BTS member. Its dancers dream to work with worldwide superstar. Even if they not army, they gonna be happy supporting him.
They didn't have a choice on the military, it's mandatory. Even though there were many political debates about whether they should go. BTS contributes billions to their GNP and provides so many jobs. One thing is BTS never said they didn't want to go and all have had positive attitudes going.
Nick, once again you've chosen the amazing BTS. Such a talented group of kids. I love it. I love your reaction to this too. I don't know if you read my long introductory comment to you that I left on your reaction to Hi Ren. Perhaps you'll stummble upon it. I continue to be a big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work. To BTS. You are music monsters! Your message brought to us in fun and exciting rythms. Outstanding! I'm a 60 year old woman but you GenZers make me get up and dance!! Thanks for bringing life into your music!
Jimin said in an article that he was feeling sad/depressed and was determined to overcome those feelings and that tnis song is the result.
Es y sus sombras alredor. El mismo se juzga, el escucha a sus haters y el se cuestiona. Con el tiempo se libera y se encuentra. El poema en su cuerpo lo dice todo.
Muchas gracias!
You will definitely like jhope solo work... Starting from his solo songs in bts albums, and his first mixtape - hope world...and than his first solo album 'jack in the box'... His personality, his dancing, his hopeful existence can bring your soul from the grave... Not to forget to mention 'chicken noodles soup' with becky g... And the song you liked in the introduction video is 'ddaeng' is a must...
Oh I'm going to hop onto Jhope then to see what he is about!
YOU ARE ARMY: baby ARMY! Each day you do BTS, you’ll grow more & more. TV show “Run, BTS” is hilarious. You can REALLY see how they are individually & together. It is subtitled, however, it goes by so quick & it has the Korean in the same line. Just read the English. It has extra impertinent words. As close as we can get to KNOWING THEM. Also, IN THE SOOP, trips away together. Same thing on subtitles. I love your reactions, Nick. Can tell you are generally impressed & appreciate.
Thank YOU so much :) much more bts on the way. Love these guys
You're so cute hahahaha i love your reactions, thank you for reacting and for you interest on these guys, Jimin is my favorite member, I almost fainted while watching this, we'd never seen something like this from him, but this is exactly what I was expecting! On march 24th, there's a new video for his song "like crazy", it'll be amazing, hope u ract to that one too, and his full album will be released on that day as well, I'm excited. Take care and stay safe!
Thank you so much Emily =) Jimin is AWESEOME
Gracias por esta reacción!!

Muchas gracias =) Borahae
They released a behind the scenes today of the making of the video. He talks about the meaning and you can also start to see his personality.
His whole album, Face, are his pandemic stories, so it's pretty dark. It's about how he spiraled into depression and was drinking too much and not sharing this with anyone because the only people he thought would understand were his bandmates and he knew they were also struggling and didn't want to burden them. This album was part of his work in processing all of this.
subscribed you today !!!watching your playlist of reacting to BTS , glad RUclips recommended me your channel..love ur reactions and supporting you as an ARMY to a newly born ARMY ..
looking forward to more videos and appreciate ur humble ,honest opinion.. as JIMIN ONCE SAID "YOU ARE NICE ,KEEP GOING" AND BORAHAE💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
