April 12th, 2014, they came up with "boy in luv", showing young boys falling in young love. And April 12th, 2019, they came back with "boy with luv". They wanted to say that they grew up to high level and they now want to protect their small precious ones such as their fans with mature love. That's why they slightly changed their title.
Halsey and bts have been friends since 2017 and halsey has a song called suga’s interlude ft suga on her album. Also there is another version of boy with luv, which has more Halsey in it. You can hear it in the boy with luv,army with luv version. Also they were paying homage to dancing in the rain
There are some compilation videos that show their friendship. They've interacted a lot, I think DT would like to see that. Halsey gave the boys friendship bracelets as a gift and BTS gave her a sparkly mic just like the ones they use.
*Boy With Luv Explained by a Korean* by DKDKTV. Halsey actually has more parts in the album version. This song is about and for ARMY. The title in Korean is called "A Poem for Small Things" because they wanna know how ARMYs are doing...they wanna know about all the small things. 💜
Yup. You can see JHOPE swinging around a light post. RM is wearing the hat and holding the umbrella. Notice the Marques on the buildings. They're the names of previous BTS songs. Lots of other Easter eggs. Enjoy Please be careful , be safe, be well and God bless you and yours!🙏💜
The movie theatre they’re in for a plus second when j-hope starts his verse has the posters for singing in the rain on the walls, so it’s definitely a vintage throwback feel
The whole of RM's section, even to the way it pans out from the (replica) set, is a direct homage to the song "Broadway Melody" on Singing in the Rain. And yes the lamppost dance is also referenced in the MV :)
This is the first MV in June last year that got me into BTS (I am never into k-pop then).. I was shocked over the pink theme for a boygroup. Curious over this group, I watched DNA and was amazed by their mv. Then I went further to explore Fake Love, totally awed by the lyrics and the performance and there I am, falling super deep into the rabbit hole. My friends were shocked over my love for BTS, cuz I am in my 40s 😂 Anyway, great to see your BTS reaction videos, DT 💜
"Age is just a number" it doesn't matter to me at all , as long as it makes you happy, anyway BTS inspire me a lot, their music, the lyrics itself has deep meaning , It can "heal some pain" 'been there and what awakens me most is when i listened their song Love Yourself: Answer. It hit me hard. Thanks to them.💜
@@kikisproperty Same exact thing, except that's my husband & my who gives that oh god not them again look. lol. But I don't give a .. , Because love everything about them. There no other artist today that can or as far as I'm concerned that dose what these 7 do.
You are correct about the fact that this song is about ARMY 😊 also Halsey sings a bit more in the spotify version. Also the mv is inspired by the movie singing in the rain.
In this video Halsey only sings the “oh my my my” part but in the Spotify version her voice is much more prominent and the song is split up well between the boys and her it’s just in this mv she only sings one part
My take on the phrase is, in contrast to their older song "boy in luv", now they're learning to love themselves, so they've become a boy with love, meaning someone who actually has love to give😊 Please listen to "just one day", if you want a love note😂
And this is why boy with luv won song of the year in South Korea. It's a great feel good song that just gets people smiling. So proud of bts, this song is still charting in the top 10 Melon chart after a year of it's release along w ON.
That's Halsey and before that they had collaboration with Nicki Minhaj in the song idol and she was there too in the mv,anyways bts is a good friend of Halsey and she is a great singer herself...
@@linustw FYI. Nicki was ft. In BTS song IDOL. The mv has 2 versions and the secind one was with nicki in the video. Also in the album she is ft.too. If you didn't.know anything better just STFU. Why do you need to reply and give false statements.
I think Linus meant Nicki wasn't on-site with the boys, they didn't film together, her part was added post-production and she recorded from another location.
Haha you were spot on about a lot of things! Halsey is kind of a metaphor for ARMY in the MV and also there are nods to the movie Singing in the Rain. Fun fact, the Korean title for this track translates to “A Poem For Small Things”. RM explained that he felt their plate had become too big and that it was time to decompress and look at the small things that they are appreciative of. Hence the lyrics describing that they are so high up because of the love and support ARMY have given them, but they still want to meet at eye level like they always have. It definitely shows that they have grown from the high school crush they were singing about in Boy in Luv. Some people might think it’s too pop, but I think BWL is such a feel good song and incapsulates BTS’ Persona of wanting to give people hope and happiness.
That's very accurate! RM always does live streams after album releases and explains a bit about each song and the whole process of making an album. It would be great if people watched what he has to say instead of making assumptions about the meanings of the songs and other things...
and as DT said they always have more than one msg, what I get from namjoon is that little things are as important as the big things , as u can see hobi says "world peace noway, I just want to keep u safe". I think that just sum up everything, they are saying big things are important ofc but we get stronger when we get the importance of little things first.
Halsey has more lines in the Spotify version of the song! This version on youtube is for their performances, because they can't perform with her. Also fun fact, they have a song ''Boy in Love'' (2014) and now '' Boy With Love'' (2019) ☺️💜
Ancient greeks believed that there were 8 kinds of "love" including Eros (sexual desire and passion), Philia (Deep friendship), Agape (selfless love for mankind i.e. Jesus, MLK) and Philautia (Self-love). In their early song "Boy in Luv" (상남자/alpha-man), eros, love based on sex pheromones is expressed but now that they're older and wiser, they've become men who embody philia (Deep friendship), agape (selfless love) and philautia (self-love) hence why they are boys WITH luv not boys in love. Like you said Halsey seems to represent ARMY especially in the ARMY MV. version. EDIT: FYI, the full title of this song is "Boy With Luv: A Poem for Small Things". The title and subtitle together convey a lot.
If you really think about it the fact that BTS based the visuals of this MV on “singing in the rain” perfectly aligns with the theme of MOTS. Over identifying with ones persona is to ignore your shadow, to cover up anything you struggle with and instead focus on the love, adoration, and praise that your mask (your persona) receives. So in a sense, whenever the boys’ ego’s choose to identify their persona as their “self” it’s the equivalent to ignoring ones shadow (all that we hate about ourselves or characteristics that society disapproves of) or choosing to sing in the rain.
Its our Girl Halsey....she will be forever the 8th member of BTS in BWL MV, they are friends up untill now. She was also stand for BTS when medias throw rocks at them(like always 😑). Boy With Luv is a continuation of Boy In Luv way back 2014. And their LIGHTS MV also a continuation of this mv. BWL setting was outside the cinema while Lights mv was inside the cinema, you need to check that out too.😊 P.S. Please react to "Park Jimin is a Living Mochi" pretty please... You're boy is Jimin so you need to watch that! Love you DT Parker!💜💜💜🇵🇭
This song is a feel good song, which appeals to more people. Its about BTS wanting to know small things about Army because love is about small/trivial things in life. I heard that the umbrella RM had was a gift from a fan once upon a time.
They are paying homage to singing in the rain 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Also the boys are extremely good friends with halsey they have done lots of sweet things for each other check out their performance of this in paris halsey surprised the audience Halsey has given the boys friendship bracelets and lots of gifts and the boys gave her her own sparkly mic Halsey has also surprised them in interviews they truly have a genuine friendship
yeah...this entire song is about army. it's kind of difficult to understand, but every single lyric is about bts' journey up until now and how they realize it's all about army. we filled them with love. we gave them wings. bts rose so high because of us, and they almost got too close to the sun (the story of icarus) but armys saved them. the entire persona album is about bts' relationship with army.
You're right. This song is for ARMY. BTS are saying that they want to get to know everything about us, all the small things in life. It is also a contrast to a song they released in 2014 called "Boy in Luv" showing how now that they have grown up, they have realised what love is and they have become boys with love
Boy With Luv is continuing from Boy In Luv in their first couple albums. That tells us that they start from a Boy In Luv to a Boy With Luv cuz “Nothing is Stronger than a Boy With Luv”
When we made Boy With Luv, we thought that we should just step back - stop a little bit and loop back - at what we’ve been through, what we have right now,” RM said. “So that’s how we came up with ‘Boy With Luv.’ You know, because ‘Boy In Luv,’ the love is outside. But ‘Boy With Luv,’ it’s inside. That’s the difference.
Yep, Boy was IN LUV in 2014 (Skool Luv Affair album) and now Boy is WITH LOVE, so "he" finally got it. These two songs are connected. Pink is everywhere in this MV, as it's theme color of Map of The Soul: Persona and BWL is a lead track from this album.
I hadn't noticed that you hadn't reviewed this yet. This was their hit when you first became an army. Is a homage to singing in the rain so you we're right about a vintage throwback. And RM mentioned that this song is about a more mature love. Wondering about the little things that are going on in their life, that kind of thing. As opposed to Boy in Luv which is more of a teenage young love. And finally I think Army as a metaphor is definitely the case here. You're very observant DT.
Boy in Luv was one of their first songs, and its about young and cute love crushes. There is another version on Spotify that has Halsey singing louder. If you look at the background where Halsey is at the beginning, it's a movie theatre. There are posters all over that is for Singing in the Rain movie. They directly pay homage to the movie. The white outfit and fedora RM wears is very similar to what Gene Kelly wore in the movie. If you look at the stage Gene Kelly performed on, its almost the same exact one RM stands on in the video. JHope danced around the pole like Gene and RM holds an umbrella. Other symbols as well. There is a part when they dance into the blue area that V stops and balances on his toes, like Gene did as well. The movie, basically, is about being on stage and switching between your persona and ego...wearing that mask before the public. It's about realizing being in love is so different when you are filled with love from those around you because you love yourself and you are loved in return.
The bright mv ties to the topic of Persona. That's part of the Persona, Ego and Shadow of one's mind (Jungian psychology). Basically, this whole album talked about the Persona, which is the public image of one, so BTS in the case of this mv. The newest album, Map of The Soul: 7 talks about Ego and Shadow which are hidden deeper in one's mind. Like you said, BTS always has something for those who want to dive deeper 😄
So many theories in BTS songs,when you come in you can't go out,cause they are stunning and mesmerizing,the lyrics so meaningful, the visuals,performance,MV, dance practice,everything they do with perfection,welcome to the rabbit hole,I'm too old to kpop,but BTS makes thing possible lol,borahae And I really like the way you react for bts,thanks
There are two audios for this song, one is the MV version - which focuses more on the boys. Second is the studio version, where Halsey's vocals are more amplified and you can hear her solo parts, although she does not have a full verse on her own.
DT do you know when I saw BTS first time I was speechless and from that day I started to watch them. They are charming , They have such a great voice , even they have so many talent . and you much see black swan , Blood sweet and tears .
The whole "vintage" look of the music video was actually inspired from the 1952 musical, Singin' in the Rain!! I'm not too familiar with the film but I've been told that the film is about exploring the different personas of an entertainer, which makes a whole lot of sense seeing as how the song Boy with Luv is under BTS' album, Map of the Soul: Persona. There's lots of nods to the film, from the yellow couch they've all jumped on, the piano set with Suga, the lamp posts and the whole scene with RM in the white suit and fedora!
I love how you get the message of their songs. You've no idea how cool that is because most people don't get it unless they watch the explanation videos
At the end, if you have ever watched "Singing in the Rain" it's at the end. The whole movie is about bringing movies into using sound. But they have to put a modern part into their movie. So Gene Kelly plays a tap dancer wanting to make it big on Broadway. It's a wonderful, and one of the most iconic dance scene in any movie in history. He dances with legendary Cyd Charisse. If it helps Cyd was in a video with Janet Jackson "Alright", along with Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway. Like I said it is iconic.
THEIR BOND WITH HALSEY IS NOT SOMETHING TO NOT LOOK AT. HALSEY IS SUCH A GREAT FRIEND OF THEM THEY ALL ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO HER. SHE IS REALLY A GREAT HUMAN WHO LOVES OUR BOYS DEARLY. SHE GAVE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS TO ALL OF THEM. SHE CAME TO PERFORM AT ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS. SHE ALWAYS HYPES THEM UP ALWAYS CHEERS THEM UP. AND WHEN SOMEBODY TALKS SHIT ABOUT BTS, HALSEY ALWAYS GIVES A COUNTER BLAST. LONG STORY SHORT, THEY HAVE FOUND A GREAT FRIEND IN HALSEY. HALSEY ALSO HAD A COLLABORATION WITH YOONGI.
This mv is inspired by "singing in the rain" movie. Some scenes, especially the stage with neon sign scene is almost identical to the movie scene. When I first heard this, and read the lyrics, I thought that not only this song but the whole 'persona' album was a love letter to Army….
You’re right, Halsey doesn’t have a verse in this song but in the studio version of the song she sings the choruses with BTS (including the korean parts)
Halsey has more lines in the album version, check it out on Spotify. Also, Boy with Luv is the counterpart of Boy in Luv, you can see the parallels and growth between.
Suga is a fantastic writer. From Agust'd to First Love to Converse High, his lyrics are strong yet beautiful at the same time. FYI-Converse High is the first time I became pregnant by Suga. You'll need to see the lyric video first to understand. 🤰🏽💜
you’re right about this song being about army, during promotions of boy with luv the members said that this song is like a poem to army or something like that hehe 💗 please react to just one day mv !!
I am amazed that you haven't heard this song before. It held the record for most youtube views in the first 24 hours until very recently. It was written as a love letter to ARMY and is the lead single from their MOTS Persona album that was released last April (The album debuted at #1 on BB). This is the first song I ever saw them perform. They debuted this song on SNL on APR 13... I had never heard of them before that show so it's really special to me and a lot of other people who also saw them for the first time that night. It started the MOTS era. I don't know if you ever saw any of the Bookish Theories videos on BTS song.... she has a good one on this.
Boy with Luv means something very special to me! By receiving love and affection from someone else, you can turn into a "Boy with Luv" who in turn can end up doing the same with others. With this cycle they hope to see the world as a better place, by just giving and receiving love! :) They say "There is nothing stronger than love than can reform a person" I also believe this.
7:58 Exactly! :) They claim that someone with love for everything and everyone, rather than someone in love with just a single thing is in turn, more powerful and can affect others more positively. I personally agree with this.
You have to look at this with the persona on the theater in mind. And black swan being IN a theater and the differences in the overall album themes of person and 7. It's awesome!
Thanks for a great reaction. RM has said several times this song is a love letter to Army so there you go. You ask you get!!! Also Halsey represents Army, your right!
Halsey has a "solo part" in the CD version. The "mv version" didn't feature her too much because is the "performance version", meaning the version they are going to perform without halsey at concerts, etc. Just for you to know, there is a DKDKTV explained video for this mv. But the summary will be: 1. The song is for army 2. Halsey represents army 3. The movie they are referencing is "singing in the rain". Something RM told about this song (not the exact words, just what I remember): this is a continuation for the "boy in luv" mv. Now that they have grown up, they realise that love is in the little things like asking that person "how was your day" or knowing the little habits that the other person has. Therefore "boy with love" is a more mature love, how adults will see love in contrast of "boy in luv": how you see love as a teenager. (Of course the hole meaning is deeper, this is just something he said in an interview).
BTS' hidden tracks are so meaningful to us.. I personally like them more than the title tracks.. So we would like you reacting to sum of'em like "sea". "hold me tight". "dead leaves"
It's really impressive to me that you caught the intent to portray a more mature love. You're very insightful, which is why I enjoy your reactions so much. This is a Boy WITH Love because one of their early songs was a Boy IN Love and the love in that song was teen-aged, hormone-driven immature, and more than a little aggressive. To the point that they've apologized for it. This song is supposed to be sort of a follow up, where their adults now, not teenagers. Boy in Love and War of Hormone both have girls in them and both got them a LOT of criticism, along with accusations of misogyny. They both came out early in BTS' career, in 2014. After those two songs, RM started having Women's Studies professors go over his lyrics for him. You might want to react to them, just to give your point of view.
Haha! this time they made everything very simple! It's a love song & also a love letter to all armys! Nothing complicated! So don't think so deep dt parker! relax & enjoy the beautiful song & Music video.
DT, There was a song in 2014 by BTS called boy in Luv it was like a schoolboy crush kind of thing and then in 2019 BTS came out with boy with Luv music video that talks about how BTS loves their fans and how BTS and ARMY will always support each other and if you notice in the music video their choreography is actually much easier to learn and that was purposely that way because BTS wants their fans to be able to dance with them and if you notice they weren’t on the stage they were outside of the theater dancing because they wanted to pay tribute to their fans!💜 BTS did this tribute song for their fans and the love they have for their fans and vice versa! And you were not far from the vintage old movie style when you saw RM on the stage with the white fedora hat and umbrella it actually represented “singing in the rain “the movie starring Gene Kelly! and if you noticed all of the neon words on the stage all around RM are Titles of all of BTS’ albums! 💜 BTS and ARMY has the “Boy with Luv” concept in the song, ARMY help give BTS their wings to fly! That makes them a Boy With Luv and with ARMY💜 forever💜 Always 💜
If you heard their song Boy In Luv, Boy With Luv is kind of the grown up version. BiL was about teenage love and crush. It feels too strong and very in your face. But BwL is growth, you find out there are more important things. It's the little things about the other person that actually matter and make you truly fall in love with them.
Loving your insights. Yes she stands for Army. On the album version she has more lines. The inspiration for the video seems to be the movie Singing in the Rain especially the Namjoon part with all the album names on the signs. Now I can't wait to see your reaction of Boy in Luv lol. It's exactly what you thought it is: their old song boy in luv was about teen love and now they are singing about a stronger more emotionally mature love. Also Singingin the Rain is a movie about a celebrity who falls in love with a fan who helps him stay grounded lol so I don't know if they chose it on purpose as a cute message to army.
Once RM said (not the exact word but the mean) "Boy in luv" means "the boys(Bts) surrounded by luv or bys are inside a container full of luv"🥰 n "Boy with luv" means " the boys having the whole luv inside them"💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your reactions! Watching your BTS content is so refreshing (I'm glad you discovered BTS and became a fan :). You do not shy away from expressing what you think; I love how many details you notice, and I don't mean just the visual details but you dissect really well the psychology, the symbolism ,and also the dynamics of the BTS members. I completely agree that BTS songs are like a layered cake: has multiple flavours/appeal for audiences (just like a true art): some just want to enjoy a feel good song and draw the positivity from it, which is wonderful, some dive deeper and get the under-the-surface messages which also bring the healing to the mind on another level - this is BTS magic. And just like any great art, their music takes on the life of it's own, with audiences finding something in it, that speaks to them, and building on it further, expanding the universe. Yeah, I agree that Halsey was the embodiment of Army: in the official fan chants even, her part is the part the Armys chant so she represents how BTS and Army are one, in fact there is another MV version for this song, where the word ARMY appears above their heads instead of LOVE, it's like they are saying the title of this song could have been "BTS with Army" aka "Boy with Love", which is an icing on this delicious cake :)
You're spot on with Halsey representing Army in this video!! They released an "Army with luv" version of this song as well that has a couple of additional/substituted scenes that really let you know this is another song dedicated to Army! The boys really do love Army so much, we stan the right group 💜
halsey has bee friends with bts since 2017... yoongi is in fact featured in one of her songs in her newest album manic. you should check out her songs they''re really good. boy with luv on spotify has halsey in it.
She has performed with them live several times. Grammy’s. And she joined them to perform this song at their concert in Paris. So fun. She is legit friends with them. I saw an interview or clip of RM saying he contacted her to see if performing on SNL would be worth it for them etc... and trusted her advice. Watching Dkdktv’s explanations for their videos is helpful to pick up lots of details and cultural references . I know some Army don’t like them but I am not aware of anyone else who does as good a job explaining it ....
WOW! I was totally surprised at your insight! You are so keen! Yes, It is "singing in the rain". I heard it's a story of an unknown singer becoming famous with a help and support of a girl. It is the way they are seeing army. Yes, Harlsey is a metaphor for army. I personally like the part of RM saying, I want to fly with the Icarus's wings to YOU and not to the sun. Icarus from Greek mythology. He flew too high with the wings made of wax and at the end fall off. As an older person than RM, it wonders me how can be a young man of mid 20s so wise and thoughtful ! This song is to me a confession of BTS to army. So it has comfortable, pleasant, lovely atmosphere. This song makes my feeling always happy.
BTS already has a song 'Boy In Luv' and the Korean title for 'Boy With Luv' translates to Poem for the Small Things. It's supposed to be a feel-good song and there is a version of this dedicated to ARMY (a separate RUclips MV).
Yes, this song is a tribute to ARMY. They even have another video version making that more obvious. Boy With Luv is the title track to Map of the Soul: Persona there are 4 versions of the album each a different shade of pink. If I’m not mistaken, I think they said that whole album is a love letter to ARMY. Also this video is paying homage to Singing in the Rain.
DKDKTV made an excellent explanation of this song and the music video, I think you might want to check that out. ;) Also, Halsey is an amazing singer herself. She's been friends with BTS for almost 4 years now. They first met at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017, and she loves the boys just as much as they love her. She's an unofficial 8th member, hahaha!
RM said that this is a Poem for Little Things because it is asking ARMY to tell all the little things in their day that makes them happy or things we are accomplishing so that we can all be closer. There is actually an ARMY version of this song on BangtanTV. A boy WITH love means that they aren't caught up in falling in love, they've come to love themselves...therefore they are boys WITH love. 🥰 It is intentionally super upbeat. They bring up the Wings again in the phrase "with the wings you gave us back then". It is just a declaration of love and communication between BTS and ARMY. RM's scene is an homage to Singing in the Rain. All the signs are their album names. 💜💜
April 12th, 2014, they came up with "boy in luv", showing young boys falling in young love. And April 12th, 2019, they came back with "boy with luv". They wanted to say that they grew up to high level and they now want to protect their small precious ones such as their fans with mature love. That's why they slightly changed their title.
But Boy in Luv was February 2014 not in April 2014
But Boy in Luv was February 2014 not in April 2014
Halsey and bts have been friends since 2017 and halsey has a song called suga’s interlude ft suga on her album. Also there is another version of boy with luv, which has more Halsey in it. You can hear it in the boy with luv,army with luv version. Also they were paying homage to dancing in the rain
There are some compilation videos that show their friendship. They've interacted a lot, I think DT would like to see that. Halsey gave the boys friendship bracelets as a gift and BTS gave her a sparkly mic just like the ones they use.
*Boy With Luv Explained by a Korean* by DKDKTV. Halsey actually has more parts in the album version. This song is about and for ARMY. The title in Korean is called "A Poem for Small Things" because they wanna know how ARMYs are doing...they wanna know about all the small things. 💜

Yesss
Yup. React to it please
It’s an homage to “Singing in the rain”
Yup. You can see JHOPE swinging around a light post. RM is wearing the hat and holding the umbrella. Notice the Marques on the buildings. They're the names of previous BTS songs. Lots of other Easter eggs. Enjoy
Please be careful , be safe, be well and God bless you and yours!🙏💜
The movie theatre they’re in for a plus second when j-hope starts his verse has the posters for singing in the rain on the walls, so it’s definitely a vintage throwback feel
The whole of RM's section, even to the way it pans out from the (replica) set, is a direct homage to the song "Broadway Melody" on Singing in the Rain. And yes the lamppost dance is also referenced in the MV :)
stephanie frez - didn’t see your comment before. Yup. You’re right.
What does it mean. I'm sorry i don't get it.
This is the first MV in June last year that got me into BTS (I am never into k-pop then).. I was shocked over the pink theme for a boygroup. Curious over this group, I watched DNA and was amazed by their mv. Then I went further to explore Fake Love, totally awed by the lyrics and the performance and there I am, falling super deep into the rabbit hole. My friends were shocked over my love for BTS, cuz I am in my 40s 😂
Anyway, great to see your BTS reaction videos, DT 💜
Same here. I'm 44. My sons gave me that look Everytime I listen to BTS
i am almost in my 40s and i am also inlove with them.. they are talented and have the purest hearts.. they are my babies 🥰🥰🥰
Rizkiyah Hassan me and my 13 year old daughter and 4 year old son enjoy BTS together
"Age is just a number" it doesn't matter to me at all , as long as it makes you happy, anyway BTS inspire me a lot, their music, the lyrics itself has deep meaning , It can "heal some pain" 'been there and what awakens me most is when i listened their song Love Yourself: Answer. It hit me hard. Thanks to them.💜
@@kikisproperty Same exact thing, except that's my husband & my who gives that oh god not them again look. lol. But I don't give a .. , Because love everything about them. There no other artist today that can or as far as I'm concerned that dose what these 7 do.
You are correct about the fact that this song is about ARMY 😊 also Halsey sings a bit more in the spotify version.
Also the mv is inspired by the movie singing in the rain.
There is a governant here is Brazil that once said " Girls wears pink and Boys wears Blue". Then we have this BTS video...
real
Sim, bts sendo ícones kkkkkk
meu Deus, última coisa q eu pensei q fosse achar, era comentário de brasileiro no vídeo dele kkkkkkk
BTS is genius
Primeira vez vendo um comentário em português nós vídeos dele rsrsrs
In this video Halsey only sings the “oh my my my” part but in the Spotify version her voice is much more prominent and the song is split up well between the boys and her it’s just in this mv she only sings one part
More than oh my my my.
Even in this mv she has one proper line.
Yeah she does most people only hear the oh my my my part but I was explaining to him she has much more lines in the Spotify version
My take on the phrase is, in contrast to their older song "boy in luv", now they're learning to love themselves, so they've become a boy with love, meaning someone who actually has love to give😊
Please listen to "just one day", if you want a love note😂
Yes! You said it so well!
My fav just one day💜😊
And this is why boy with luv won song of the year in South Korea. It's a great feel good song that just gets people smiling. So proud of bts, this song is still charting in the top 10 Melon chart after a year of it's release along w ON.
That's Halsey and before that they had collaboration with Nicki Minhaj in the song idol and she was there too in the mv,anyways bts is a good friend of Halsey and she is a great singer herself...
It was just part of the rapline and she didnt even feature in the mv with the boys.
@@linustw FYI. Nicki was ft. In BTS song IDOL. The mv has 2 versions and the secind one was with nicki in the video. Also in the album she is ft.too. If you didn't.know anything better just STFU. Why do you need to reply and give false statements.

Haha you were spot on about a lot of things! Halsey is kind of a metaphor for ARMY in the MV and also there are nods to the movie Singing in the Rain. Fun fact, the Korean title for this track translates to “A Poem For Small Things”.

It definitely shows that they have grown from the high school crush they were singing about in Boy in Luv. Some people might think it’s too pop, but I think BWL is such a feel good song and incapsulates BTS’ Persona of wanting to give people hope and happiness.
That's very accurate! RM always does live streams after album releases and explains a bit about each song and the whole process of making an album. It would be great if people watched what he has to say instead of making assumptions about the meanings of the songs and other things...
well said💜💜
and as DT said they always have more than one msg, what I get from namjoon is that little things are as important as the big things , as u can see hobi says "world peace noway, I just want to keep u safe". I think that just sum up everything, they are saying big things are important ofc but we get stronger when we get the importance of little things first.
@@jananjaja4156 Yes I agree!
Halsey has more lines in the Spotify version of the song! This version on youtube is for their performances, because they can't perform with her.
Also fun fact, they have a song
''Boy in Love'' (2014) and now '' Boy With Love'' (2019) ☺️💜
The Rock Obama, the old vintage feel is because of their tribute to their old albums. You can see the title of their old albums surrounding Namjoon.
It should be Rocbama.
BTS destroying gender norms is one of my favourite concepts
it's a song they dedicate for the army.there was an explanation Halsey stand as the ARMY💜💜💜💜
Ancient greeks believed that there were 8 kinds of "love" including Eros (sexual desire and passion), Philia (Deep friendship), Agape (selfless love for mankind i.e. Jesus, MLK) and Philautia (Self-love). In their early song "Boy in Luv" (상남자/alpha-man), eros, love based on sex pheromones is expressed but now that they're older and wiser, they've become men who embody philia (Deep friendship), agape (selfless love) and philautia (self-love) hence why they are boys WITH luv not boys in love. Like you said Halsey seems to represent ARMY especially in the ARMY MV. version.
EDIT: FYI, the full title of this song is "Boy With Luv: A Poem for Small Things". The title and subtitle together convey a lot.
if this ain't the smartist thing i've ever heard-
🥺💜
Can I talk about your tattoos? 😜😜 you so hot.
If you really think about it the fact that BTS based the visuals of this MV on “singing in the rain” perfectly aligns with the theme of MOTS.
Over identifying with ones persona is to ignore your shadow, to cover up anything you struggle with and instead focus on the love, adoration, and praise that your mask (your persona) receives. So in a sense, whenever the boys’ ego’s choose to identify their persona as their “self” it’s the equivalent to ignoring ones shadow (all that we hate about ourselves or characteristics that society disapproves of) or choosing to sing in the rain.
Its our Girl Halsey....she will be forever the 8th member of BTS in BWL MV, they are friends up untill now.
She was also stand for BTS when medias throw rocks at them(like always 😑).
Boy With Luv is a continuation of Boy In Luv way back 2014.
And their LIGHTS MV also a continuation of this mv.
BWL setting was outside the cinema while Lights mv was inside the cinema, you need to check that out too.😊
P.S.
Please react to "Park Jimin is a Living Mochi" pretty please...
You're boy is Jimin so you need to watch that!
Love you DT Parker!💜💜💜🇵🇭
Up
This song is a feel good song, which appeals to more people. Its about BTS wanting to know small things about Army because love is about small/trivial things in life. I heard that the umbrella RM had was a gift from a fan once upon a time.
They are paying homage to singing in the rain 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Also the boys are extremely good friends with halsey they have done lots of sweet things for each other check out their performance of this in paris halsey surprised the audience
Halsey has given the boys friendship bracelets and lots of gifts and the boys gave her her own sparkly mic
Halsey has also surprised them in interviews they truly have a genuine friendship
Steps when DT Parker drops a video....
1) 👍 first
2)comment
3) watch video
4) enjoy
5)watch again 😁
yeah...this entire song is about army. it's kind of difficult to understand, but every single lyric is about bts' journey up until now and how they realize it's all about army. we filled them with love. we gave them wings. bts rose so high because of us, and they almost got too close to the sun (the story of icarus) but armys saved them. the entire persona album is about bts' relationship with army.
You're right. This song is for ARMY. BTS are saying that they want to get to know everything about us, all the small things in life. It is also a contrast to a song they released in 2014 called "Boy in Luv" showing how now that they have grown up, they have realised what love is and they have become boys with love
A Boy WITH Luv is someone who APPRECIATES even the littlest things in life. Coz he has LUV in his heart, he is Happier .- Jimin💜💚❤
Well all the writings are names of their albums and some songs and they were paying homage to Singing In The Rain with Gene Kelly
Boy With Luv is continuing from Boy In Luv in their first couple albums. That tells us that they start from a Boy In Luv to a Boy With Luv cuz “Nothing is Stronger than a Boy With Luv”
When we made Boy With Luv, we thought that we should just step back - stop a little bit and loop back - at what we’ve been through, what we have right now,” RM said. “So that’s how we came up with ‘Boy With Luv.’ You know, because ‘Boy In Luv,’ the love is outside. But ‘Boy With Luv,’ it’s inside. That’s the difference.
Yep, Boy was IN LUV in 2014 (Skool Luv Affair album) and now Boy is WITH LOVE, so "he" finally got it. These two songs are connected. Pink is everywhere in this MV, as it's theme color of Map of The Soul: Persona and BWL is a lead track from this album.
It's not their first video with a girl in it...There were girls in "Boy in luv" & "war of hormone" too.
also beautiful
But it's the 1st time for a girl to ft nd perform the choreo together with them tho...!
ARMY 4EVER Jhopes chicken noodle soup?? 💀
the fact that he reacted to both mv before. yeah, sometimes it a bit too much for someone to digest all at once.
Rocbama means a female as female vocalist.
I hadn't noticed that you hadn't reviewed this yet. This was their hit when you first became an army. Is a homage to singing in the rain so you we're right about a vintage throwback. And RM mentioned that this song is about a more mature love. Wondering about the little things that are going on in their life, that kind of thing. As opposed to Boy in Luv which is more of a teenage young love. And finally I think Army as a metaphor is definitely the case here. You're very observant DT.
Boy in Luv was one of their first songs, and its about young and cute love crushes. There is another version on Spotify that has Halsey singing louder. If you look at the background where Halsey is at the beginning, it's a movie theatre. There are posters all over that is for Singing in the Rain movie. They directly pay homage to the movie. The white outfit and fedora RM wears is very similar to what Gene Kelly wore in the movie. If you look at the stage Gene Kelly performed on, its almost the same exact one RM stands on in the video. JHope danced around the pole like Gene and RM holds an umbrella. Other symbols as well. There is a part when they dance into the blue area that V stops and balances on his toes, like Gene did as well. The movie, basically, is about being on stage and switching between your persona and ego...wearing that mask before the public. It's about realizing being in love is so different when you are filled with love from those around you because you love yourself and you are loved in return.
Please react this list:
1. BTS War Of Hormone
2. BTS Fire
3. BTS Lights
4. BTS Airplane pt 2 Japan version.
5. BTS Dope
All have MV.
Sweetie, please don't request reactions to Lights or other Japanese vids. They will get copyright strikes and it hurts the reactor's channel.
he reacted to war of hormone and dope before.
I appreciate you observing that BTS tell multiple messages and multiple stories on different layers. Good comment!
The bright mv ties to the topic of Persona. That's part of the Persona, Ego and Shadow of one's mind (Jungian psychology). Basically, this whole album talked about the Persona, which is the public image of one, so BTS in the case of this mv. The newest album, Map of The Soul: 7 talks about Ego and Shadow which are hidden deeper in one's mind.
Like you said, BTS always has something for those who want to dive deeper 😄
So many theories in BTS songs,when you come in you can't go out,cause they are stunning and mesmerizing,the lyrics so meaningful, the visuals,performance,MV, dance practice,everything they do with perfection,welcome to the rabbit hole,I'm too old to kpop,but BTS makes thing possible lol,borahae
And I really like the way you react for bts,thanks
When he inserted "JK's so handsome" before he talks about what he wanted to tell, it kind of making me giggle. How cute. HAHAHA!
Ah ... and the umbrella, it means support ... the support given by the Armys...Thanks for your BTS reation.
The movie is Singing in the Rain. The umbrella was actually a gift to Rm from a fan. If you notice the marquee were all the old album signs
There are two audios for this song, one is the MV version - which focuses more on the boys. Second is the studio version, where Halsey's vocals are more amplified and you can hear her solo parts, although she does not have a full verse on her own.
DT do you know when I saw BTS first time I was speechless and from that day I started to watch them. They are charming , They have such a great voice , even they have so many talent . and you much see black swan , Blood sweet and tears .
The whole "vintage" look of the music video was actually inspired from the 1952 musical, Singin' in the Rain!! I'm not too familiar with the film but I've been told that the film is about exploring the different personas of an entertainer, which makes a whole lot of sense seeing as how the song Boy with Luv is under BTS' album, Map of the Soul: Persona. There's lots of nods to the film, from the yellow couch they've all jumped on, the piano set with Suga, the lamp posts and the whole scene with RM in the white suit and fedora!
Halsey is BTSs "GIRL"
The Spotify or full version of this actually shows that halsey has many lines.
Sorry for my english
Also, the dance practice to this is excellent.
This is a mature portrayal of how a boy should act with love. This is actually the mature version of their song "Boy in Love".
I love how you get the message of their songs. You've no idea how cool that is because most people don't get it unless they watch the explanation videos
At the end, if you have ever watched "Singing in the Rain" it's at the end. The whole movie is about bringing movies into using sound. But they have to put a modern part into their movie. So Gene Kelly plays a tap dancer wanting to make it big on Broadway. It's a wonderful, and one of the most iconic dance scene in any movie in history. He dances with legendary Cyd Charisse. If it helps Cyd was in a video with Janet Jackson "Alright", along with Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway. Like I said it is iconic.
THEIR BOND WITH HALSEY IS NOT SOMETHING TO NOT LOOK AT. HALSEY IS SUCH A GREAT FRIEND OF THEM THEY ALL ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO HER. SHE IS REALLY A GREAT HUMAN WHO LOVES OUR BOYS DEARLY. SHE GAVE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS TO ALL OF THEM. SHE CAME TO PERFORM AT ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS. SHE ALWAYS HYPES THEM UP ALWAYS CHEERS THEM UP. AND WHEN SOMEBODY TALKS SHIT ABOUT BTS, HALSEY ALWAYS GIVES A COUNTER BLAST. LONG STORY SHORT, THEY HAVE FOUND A GREAT FRIEND IN HALSEY.
HALSEY ALSO HAD A COLLABORATION WITH YOONGI.
This mv is inspired by "singing in the rain" movie. Some scenes, especially the stage with neon sign scene is almost identical to the movie scene.
When I first heard this, and read the lyrics, I thought that not only this song but the whole 'persona' album was a love letter to Army….
You’re right, Halsey doesn’t have a verse in this song but in the studio version of the song she sings the choruses with BTS (including the korean parts)
Halsey has more lines in the album version, check it out on Spotify.
Also, Boy with Luv is the counterpart of Boy in Luv, you can see the parallels and growth between.
The movie you are thinking of is ."Singing In the rain" from 1952 hence the vintage feel.
Boy in luv is an ooooold BTS song!
Halsey...she's a famous singer who friendship with BTS has grown so much so ARMYs love her for being true with BTS 💜💜💜
Suga is a fantastic writer. From Agust'd to First Love to Converse High, his lyrics are strong yet beautiful at the same time. FYI-Converse High is the first time I became pregnant by Suga. You'll need to see the lyric video first to understand. 🤰🏽💜
you’re right about this song being about army, during promotions of boy with luv the members said that this song is like a poem to army or something like that hehe 💗 please react to just one day mv !!
You've already heard the whole song in MMA 2019. They performed Boy 'IN' Love and then Boy 'WITH' love 💜
Halsey actually has many parts in the audio version. Also you can check out bts+halsey=iconic
Because it truly is iconic. They share a very good bond
I am amazed that you haven't heard this song before. It held the record for most youtube views in the first 24 hours until very recently. It was written as a love letter to ARMY and is the lead single from their MOTS Persona album that was released last April (The album debuted at #1 on BB). This is the first song I ever saw them perform. They debuted this song on SNL on APR 13... I had never heard of them before that show so it's really special to me and a lot of other people who also saw them for the first time that night. It started the MOTS era. I don't know if you ever saw any of the Bookish Theories videos on BTS song.... she has a good one on this.
Continuous of first MV “ Boy in Love” w/ develops to “Boy with Luv”
Boy with Luv means something very special to me! By receiving love and affection from someone else, you can turn into a "Boy with Luv" who in turn can end up doing the same with others. With this cycle they hope to see the world as a better place, by just giving and receiving love! :) They say "There is nothing stronger than love than can reform a person" I also believe this.
7:58 Exactly! :) They claim that someone with love for everything and everyone, rather than someone in love with just a single thing is in turn, more powerful and can affect others more positively. I personally agree with this.
Fun fact: the marquees towards the end have names from all of their albums 😜
You have to look at this with the persona on the theater in mind. And black swan being IN a theater and the differences in the overall album themes of person and 7. It's awesome!
Thanks for a great reaction. RM has said several times this song is a love letter to Army so there you go. You ask you get!!!
Also Halsey represents Army, your right!
It’s a nod to Singing in the Rain.
Halsey has a "solo part" in the CD version. The "mv version" didn't feature her too much because is the "performance version", meaning the version they are going to perform without halsey at concerts, etc.
Just for you to know, there is a DKDKTV explained video for this mv. But the summary will be:
1. The song is for army
2. Halsey represents army
3. The movie they are referencing is "singing in the rain".
Something RM told about this song (not the exact words, just what I remember): this is a continuation for the "boy in luv" mv. Now that they have grown up, they realise that love is in the little things like asking that person "how was your day" or knowing the little habits that the other person has. Therefore "boy with love" is a more mature love, how adults will see love in contrast of "boy in luv": how you see love as a teenager. (Of course the hole meaning is deeper, this is just something he said in an interview).
The way he just pause and say "jk is so handsome" make me wheezing♥
The album/Spotify version features Halsey more...mainly in the chorus. She is also has songwriting credits.
BTS' hidden tracks are so meaningful to us.. I personally like them more than the title tracks.. So we would like you reacting to sum of'em like "sea". "hold me tight". "dead leaves"
It's really impressive to me that you caught the intent to portray a more mature love. You're very insightful, which is why I enjoy your reactions so much. This is a Boy WITH Love because one of their early songs was a Boy IN Love and the love in that song was teen-aged, hormone-driven immature, and more than a little aggressive. To the point that they've apologized for it. This song is supposed to be sort of a follow up, where their adults now, not teenagers. Boy in Love and War of Hormone both have girls in them and both got them a LOT of criticism, along with accusations of misogyny. They both came out early in BTS' career, in 2014. After those two songs, RM started having Women's Studies professors go over his lyrics for him. You might want to react to them, just to give your point of view.
FF: Namjoon in White Fedora Hat with an Umbrella (the umbrella is a gift from a fan from their early days which he truly cherished.) 💜
Haha! this time they made everything very simple! It's a love song & also a love letter to all armys! Nothing complicated! So don't think so deep dt parker! relax & enjoy the beautiful song & Music video.
DT, There was a song in 2014 by BTS called boy in Luv it was like a schoolboy crush kind of thing and then in 2019 BTS came out with boy with Luv music video that talks about how BTS loves their fans and how BTS and ARMY will always support each other and if you notice in the music video their choreography is actually much easier to learn and that was purposely that way because BTS wants their fans to be able to dance with them and if you notice they weren’t on the stage they were outside of the theater dancing because they wanted to pay tribute to their fans!💜 BTS did this tribute song for their fans and the love they have for their fans and vice versa! And you were not far from the vintage old movie style when you saw RM on the stage with the white fedora hat and umbrella it actually represented “singing in the rain “the movie starring Gene Kelly! and if you noticed all of the neon words on the stage all around RM are Titles of all of BTS’ albums! 💜 BTS and ARMY has the “Boy with Luv” concept in the song, ARMY help give BTS their wings to fly! That makes them a Boy With Luv and with ARMY💜 forever💜 Always 💜
If you heard their song Boy In Luv, Boy With Luv is kind of the grown up version. BiL was about teenage love and crush. It feels too strong and very in your face. But BwL is growth, you find out there are more important things. It's the little things about the other person that actually matter and make you truly fall in love with them.
Loving your insights. Yes she stands for Army. On the album version she has more lines.
The inspiration for the video seems to be the movie Singing in the Rain especially the Namjoon part with all the album names on the signs.
Now I can't wait to see your reaction of Boy in Luv lol. It's exactly what you thought it is: their old song boy in luv was about teen love and now they are singing about a stronger more emotionally mature love.
Also Singingin the Rain is a movie about a celebrity who falls in love with a fan who helps him stay grounded lol so I don't know if they chose it on purpose as a cute message to army.
From Radio to RUclips, been with them since.
Once RM said (not the exact word but the mean)
"Boy in luv" means "the boys(Bts) surrounded by luv or bys are inside a container full of luv"🥰
n
"Boy with luv" means " the boys having the whole luv inside them"💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your reactions! Watching your BTS content is so refreshing (I'm glad you discovered BTS and became a fan :). You do not shy away from expressing what you think; I love how many details you notice, and I don't mean just the visual details but you dissect really well the psychology, the symbolism ,and also the dynamics of the BTS members.
I completely agree that BTS songs are like a layered cake: has multiple flavours/appeal for audiences (just like a true art): some just want to enjoy a feel good song and draw the positivity from it, which is wonderful, some dive deeper and get the under-the-surface messages which also bring the healing to the mind on another level - this is BTS magic. And just like any great art, their music takes on the life of it's own, with audiences finding something in it, that speaks to them, and building on it further, expanding the universe.
Yeah, I agree that Halsey was the embodiment of Army: in the official fan chants even, her part is the part the Armys chant so she represents how BTS and Army are one, in fact there is another MV version for this song, where the word ARMY appears above their heads instead of LOVE, it's like they are saying the title of this song could have been "BTS with Army" aka "Boy with Love", which is an icing on this delicious cake :)
You totally nailed how Halsey represents ARMY.
You're spot on with Halsey representing Army in this video!! They released an "Army with luv" version of this song as well that has a couple of additional/substituted scenes that really let you know this is another song dedicated to Army! The boys really do love Army so much, we stan the right group 💜
And you are exactly correct in your analysis about Halsey representing ARMY.
jimin 🌺🌺❤️❤️
About what you said, you might be right bc here Halsey is really just singing the fanchants I noticed!
Yes, boy with love is deeper than boy in love cuz it's deeper than moment love, cuz it's agape
I love when men wear pink, it shows confidence:) And you're right, the mv pays homage to the film 'Singin' in the Rain'
halsey has bee friends with bts since 2017... yoongi is in fact featured in one of her songs in her newest album manic. you should check out her songs they''re really good. boy with luv on spotify has halsey in it.
In the spotify version she have more lines, but this version have in the *Boy with love MV (ARMY with love version).
She has performed with them live several times. Grammy’s. And she joined them to perform this song at their concert in Paris. So fun. She is legit friends with them. I saw an interview or clip of RM saying he contacted her to see if performing on SNL would be worth it for them etc... and trusted her advice. Watching Dkdktv’s explanations for their videos is helpful to pick up lots of details and cultural references . I know some Army don’t like them but I am not aware of anyone else who does as good a job explaining it ....
I really love your own unbiased theories and opinions they're very interesting and fun to see, keep at it!! 💜😁
DT: "This is the first time that I've, seen a girl together in a video"
AMRY:
•Beautiful
•Boy in Love
•THE HIGHLIGHT REEL
Boy with luv is basically a song to the army
WOW! I was totally surprised at your insight! You are so keen! Yes, It is "singing in the rain". I heard it's a story of an unknown singer becoming famous with a help and support of a girl. It is the way they are seeing army. Yes, Harlsey is a metaphor for army. I personally like the part of RM saying, I want to fly with the Icarus's wings to YOU and not to the sun. Icarus from Greek mythology. He flew too high with the wings made of wax and at the end fall off. As an older person than RM, it wonders me how can be a young man of mid 20s so wise and thoughtful ! This song is to me a confession of BTS to army. So it has comfortable, pleasant, lovely atmosphere. This song makes my feeling always happy.
BTS already has a song 'Boy In Luv' and the Korean title for 'Boy With Luv' translates to Poem for the Small Things. It's supposed to be a feel-good song and there is a version of this dedicated to ARMY (a separate RUclips MV).
Yes, this song is a tribute to ARMY. They even have another video version making that more obvious. Boy With Luv is the title track to Map of the Soul: Persona there are 4 versions of the album each a different shade of pink. If I’m not mistaken, I think they said that whole album is a love letter to ARMY. Also this video is paying homage to Singing in the Rain.
"Singing in the Rain" (1952 film starring the legendary singer & dancer Gene Kelly) homage.
DKDKTV made an excellent explanation of this song and the music video, I think you might want to check that out. ;) Also, Halsey is an amazing singer herself. She's been friends with BTS for almost 4 years now. They first met at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017, and she loves the boys just as much as they love her. She's an unofficial 8th member, hahaha!
Fyi boy with love is the continuation of boy in love which is their old song in 2014 and you can see the difference of loving between those two songs
Because they already had an older song called "Boy in Luv" ☺️
In the Rap Monster scene is like a homenage to their albums
RM said that this is a Poem for Little Things because it is asking ARMY to tell all the little things in their day that makes them happy or things we are accomplishing so that we can all be closer. There is actually an ARMY version of this song on BangtanTV. A boy WITH love means that they aren't caught up in falling in love, they've come to love themselves...therefore they are boys WITH love. 🥰 It is intentionally super upbeat. They bring up the Wings again in the phrase "with the wings you gave us back then". It is just a declaration of love and communication between BTS and ARMY. RM's scene is an homage to Singing in the Rain. All the signs are their album names. 💜💜
