They were considering it because at the time they blew up majorly in the US and while it was good, it was also very bad for them. They struggled with the overwhelming attention which wasn't all positive. Journalists and random people around them at the award shows made really awful comments about them (like literally in front of them), and the media was really negative and racist. Not only that, the industry in Korea was making fun of their western success. Called the BB Award a paper award. Mocked them. Said they were betraying their culture. And just the PRESSURE. They had previously felt they had peaked during I Need U era. But they all buried in their feet for each other and stood strong to sign their next 7 year contract. (many Kpop groups don't make it past their 7 year contract mark) I wish I could explain better. But those are just some of the things they were facing. These two songs are two sides of a coin for me. Magic Shop makes me cry happy, relieved tears and Outro Tear destroys me into sobs.
Unfortunately that’s the price of success in the ‘west’ for something not a lot of people are open to, even if it’s obviously wrong, but armies support for them really outshadow all of that to me, they were there showing their support every step of the way
many mocked their success in the US and Europe markets....but now all kpop groups almost immediately go for #1 in these same markets...in the same charts that they mock bts for topping....bts is constantly paving the way for kpop but it was all met with envy and mean spirited comments ...and it took a toll on bangtan....its a testament to their strength individually and esp as a team that they remained composed...ultra cool. They have the most awards in local and international platforms and charts...they are survivors...very very talented and resilient survivors...
@@fauziahpawan6605 I think the hate they got from media and the industry in Korea came from a place of bitterness that a group could by-pass their stamp of approval and achieve the things that others couldn't. There was a status quo of what idols needed to do to get success and they were the gatekeepers for who got to get attention, access and success. They often closed the gates on BTS and wrote them off and unworthy. By all accounts, they should have fell off the face of the industry. The fact that they succeeded was a dangerous thing because it meant that now there was a roadmap and a success story for how a group can make it without the industy's usual help. They needed to cut them down and downplay every achievement so it wouldn't seem valid or real. Unfortunately for them, BTS got too big and too global for that narrative to stick so they just look delusional if they downplayed things like Grammy nominations and daesang sweeps.
The lightsticks- ARMY Bombs- are connected together via Bluetooth and paired to their seats and a lighting team at the venue controls which color appears in which sections during certain numbers. So during the performances there is a light show going on simultaneously with the audience. We sometimes call the sea of army bombs and being part of the audience in a BTS Concert- a 'Purple Ocean'. The first time they actually said they were thinking about disbandment was during their speech for getting Artist of the Year 2018 MAMA Awards. There were a Lot of 'Tears' while giving that speech, almost all of them cried. Here's a link- ruclips.net/video/vVs710bHkNA/видео.html As for the reason for them considering disbandment- I would say it was the IMMENSE pressure. They had very limited expectations of being successful and around 2018 they became soooo popular so fast that it was very overwhelming for them. They talked about it during their 2018 FESTA as well.
Suga singing T.E.A.R. breaks me every time. It sounds so haunting. The fact that it's Suga and then to hear it was because "they" were coming to an end as a group. T - To accept the reality of the loss E - Experience the pain of the loss A - Adjust to the new environment without the person(s) R - Reinvest in the new reality i totally get why the members would cry.
outro:tear has special meaning for bts...and during the busan concert in 2022 RM did say its proberbly the last time the rap line would preform Tear...they are moving on...new horizons...the pain of Outro Tear is being archived as a place and time in the past...and one of the great preformances that make bts rapline lagendary...
Magic Shop is a song dedicated to ARMY. When we are feeling sad bts will always be there. When they say: "you gave me the best of me, now you'll give YOU the best of you." and "So Show me!" and ARMY replies: "I'll show you!" It always gives me goosebumps.
This song has literally saved lives. If you promise BTS you'll believe in yourself... It's such a powerful moment. I've heard from many people who say it changed their lives.
Well they have a lot of songs far too personal to them to not hurt while singing. There have been times ARMY has surprised the boys by singing songs that mean a lot to them and us too so you can expect a lot of songs to be emotionally hard to sing. But BTS also have hidden tracks that can only be accessed on the CDs of albums. They have a gorgeous hidden track called Sea if you’re interested and it’s one close to their and our hearts.
outro tear was the first time in my life I realized rap could be emotional and make me cry. the ending with jhope was a masterpiece and was one of the main reasons I dug further into the group
I saw Outro Tear performed LIVE and I dont know what they were thinking at the time, but They rocked the house and the place was LIT, I'm sure a lot of the fans happiness was due to the fact that they did not disband and was able to resolve what gave them so much pain. It was awesome to witness and yes the Army Bombs were bobbing everywhere
the ARMY bombs have blutooth and is paired to the seats. so the people incharge with the lights program everything and they create the hearts,letters and diff colors. 🤯💜
yeey my fav. reactor! i'm a treasure maker and army too! thank you for supporting BTS and Treasure! bts has a lot of beautiful songs and live stages for you to watch! so is Taehyung your bias?? 😅
Did not skip the intro! But I always enjoy sharing my two cents about the songs hehe here we go! Outro: Tear is a very important song. It is the climax of the entire Love Yourself series and serves as a cliffhanger for Love Yourself: Answer. In Episode 6 of their docu-series Break The Silence, Suga revealed that “Outro: Tear” was written when the band was considering a breakup. “When I played the song for the members we all cried together.” “The lyrics for ‘Tear’ were written for the members,” he explained. “When I was writing the melody, at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members we all cried together.” “Outro: Tear” is a darker reflection of what it means to love and the significance of goodbyes when loving someone. With the knowledge that the song is actually about possible disbandment, many of its lyrics can now be interpreted under a different light, such as the opening lines of the second and fifth verses: “We walked towards the same place But this place becomes our last” RM (who raps in sadness), Suga (who raps with rage), and j-hope (who raps with disbelief) repeat these lyrics on the track. Evidently, when BTS first started out, the members all shared a similar dream of being successful. However, with the group’s newfound fame and launch into the international market, the shared dream became a topic of conflict rather than one of hope. The following lines address this topic: “Although we used to talk about forever Now we break each other without mercy” In 2018, BTS was discussing the possible renewal of its contract with the group’s label, BigHit. While the members were uncertain about quitting, it is clear that the decision to disband would have been made with great difficulty. “Outro: Tear” reads like a breakup song, and its overall angst reveals how hard each member would have taken a split through lyrics like: “Although we thought that we dreamed the same dream That dream has finally become a dream” In the same episode, RM shares further sentiments on why it was such a daunting decision. He explained how BTS is more than just the group’s seven members: “It doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s like an imaginary, momentary rainbow that’s been created by ourselves and the people who help us. It is going to disappear someday, so we have to stay humble and reflect on ourselves. I think it’s important for us to spend more time reflecting on these things.” Outro: Tear can also be seen as the exact opposite of Outro: Her (from the same album series, Love Yourself, which has an antithesis structure) as the chorus of Outro: Tear, mirrors and echos the chorus for Outro: Her: Outro: Her All of my wonder You’re the answer I call you “Her”, “Her” ‘Cause you’re my tear, tear All of my wonder You’re the answer I call you “Her”, “Her” ‘Cause you’re my tear, tear Outro: Tear You’re my tear You’re my, you’re my tear You’re my tear You’re my, you’re my tear You’re my tear You’re my, you’re my tear What more can I say? You’re my tear When the songs ends, it builds intensely as any good climax would. Each rapper lets out all their pain and frustration ending with J-Hope’s furious rap until all we’re left with is his heavy breathing at the very end. It’s somehow satisfying and unsatisfying all at once. But there is a reason for that. The reason for that is that it’s not the end. It’s the end of the song. But it’s not the end of the story. Remember this is the climax of the story that is told throughout the Love Yourself album series. It is the conflict reaching its peak. It’s everything the story has building up to before it reaches its resolution. And it hasn’t just been building up to the end of this relationship. But to the very destruction of the self. Everything they had become, everything they believed, everything they were. Completely and utterly destroyed. They had risked so much and played a dangerous game. And they lost. Now they have to pay the price. But this is not how the story ends. If you analyse the Love Yourself series, LY: Her serves as the idealisation of love and LY: Tear shows the crushing realisation that said love was fake and unhealthy. LY: Answer would then be a story of self discovery and growing into the person you want to be. Well the reason that Outro: Tear is the climax is because it is the metaphorical death before the rebirth. That is the real meaning behind Love Yourself: Tear… Sometimes you need to destroy everything that once was in order to rebuild everything anew. It is the “end”. But after every “end” there comes a new beginning. And this Outro: Tear is the climax of this transformation when they must turn into ash.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. I'm HIGHLY critical of rappers in kpop because the roles are assigned to idols. So when I hear that someone is the "rapper" of a group, I question it. Are they REALLY? With Suga and RM, they're the real deal and IMO 2 of the most underrated rappers in the world. Not only are their flows great, but their lyrics and rhyme schemes are also out of this world. To be able to rap in 2 languages, and interchange words/rhymes between 2 languages that aren't similar blows my mind. To be able to rap in English and Spanish or English and Italian, or English and French isn't as impressive as an Asian language simply because they don't even follow the same alphabet. So to rhyme in English and Korean is on a whole nother level of brilliance. RM and Suga deserve more recognition globally and not just amongst kpop fans.
the lightstick connects to an app and you enter your seat when ur there at the venue in the app. through bluetooth, a lighting team controls pretty much the entire stadium's lightsticks
totally get you. i have seen so many groups and acts but BTS is so special when it comes to how they interacts and perform together. you get very emotionel when they sing. i cry when i watch the last song and i got goosebumps with magic shop. so when the concert is done you have gone through so many emotions that you are mentally drained. and they always have an amazing chemistry on stage that´s unmatched. they are just having fun. they are captivating. it leaves you amazed and wanting more. so no matter what type of concert army will go because not one concert is the same.
These songs wooooo buddy. This whole album is heart wrenching to me. How I take BTS songs from following them is they obviously write about themselves and write for people who look up to them and who are feeling the same feelings. Music is art and art is healing. Bang PD (prev. CEO/Mentor) on multiple occasions has stated that if they were feeling something that they should do what they do best and create. Put it in a song and sing/rap it, record it and perform it. Feelings aren't meant to be bottled up in a person they are meant to be screamed out into the world. This band does it through beautiful music that is not only SO specific to them and their journey and their relationships but also written in a way that once its performed or given to us, we can also use it in our lives to describe our feelings, to scream them out in a sense and I have always admired their writing skills and intent for that. You spoke about stage presence and YES I agree they have a whole wack load of it, they ooze performance. It comes from a lot of practice first and foremost they practically live on the stage with how many concerts and tours they have done up to this point, they are comfortable. Live shows after live shows are a must in the industry over there. I think though more than that they are IN THE MOMENT, these songs, these lyrics are special, theyre written for loved ones (themselves, each other, fans) they cant help but be wrapped up in it and what comes out in the performance is the reason why the fans keep watching. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Outro: Tear Live at Wembley (in Dior), it is insane but I feel it every time like its the first time. Its Magic to me, idc what anyone says. They are geniuses in my books.
TEAR is a masterpiece. The entire album. I love BOTH of these songs and was blessed to be live in the audience for them a few times. TEAR has to be difficult. They havent perfomed it since that tour. The ARMY bombs are bluetooth connected to the sound engineer by seat number and the color changes are controlled by them. Or you can turn yours on manual. They had gotten to a point where the fame came very fast and they were feeling very overwhelmed. They were under immense pressure. And they honestly hadnt had a break since the debuted. They needed time to refocus on what they love most: the music.
I have always said and felt that while Tear is a very emotional song based on its meaning and background for the guys, I believe sing/performing it is not that difficult for them in since of "oh this is when we were going to break up". I think of it as them saying "yes, this is how bad things got for us, BUT, look we weathered the storm and became stronger for it. Unlike other groups who have felt the same way and disbanded, we worked through it." I see this song as another affirmation of their unique bond to each other.
they considered disbandment because it was when they first got shot into kind of super-star mode and it was all a lot for them to deal with and they were all sturggeling a bit mentally. But also, i feel like this never gets talked about, but it was also the year thier contract with Big Hit was coming to an end. This is often a big transition period for Kpop groups. less successful groups often get dropped, some have members who just want to pursue different paths so they might drop members, any who stay often renegotiate contracts, and very successful groups can also take the opportunity to separate and create their own label and gain Independence. A path BTS was definitely capable with their wealth and name recognition. The only times the members have talked about this time they really only said, the topic of disbandment had been brought up. Which to me seems perfectly natural due to their struggling, but also all the talk of contracts. In the end BTS decided to stay with Big Hit with all original 7 members and to resign another 7 year contract (the longest legally available) which i think says so much. I don't know if they renegotiated anything but even before that Big Hit gave their artists bigger percentage of ownership and royalties than almost any other company and significantly more that any "Big 3" Kpop company. Plus pretty sure BTS members were also gifted shares in Big Hit (now HYBE.) don't know if that still holds true newer groups... I just think it's so impressive thier loyalty to eachother and their fans and it makes me happy they have helped build a company that repays that
14:18 i think the cyphers are definitely those type of songs that they needed to get out of their system during a specific time frame and now they feel emotionally unattached for them. Those songs came from a place of pent up frustration for their haters but now they've matured past that. Speaking of songs that are emotional, outro: tear is definitely such a song, they wont perform it again probably ever (CRIES). I can't say for many other songs. BUT (for a fun fact), here's two of their songs that we as ARMY beg a live performance for but wont get it: paradise, louder than bombs. Also fun fact: Both namjoon and yoongi have said about their solo stuff that they (paraphrasing) "want to erase their first(or old) mix-tapes from existing" because they convey feeling that were present in them in the time they wrote them, but are not how they feel at present. But both understand that releasing those songs way a part of an important process and that they would not regret it now. (that includes mono and honestly im so sad because like that's my favorite thing in this universe what do you mean you're not satisfied with it namjoon???)
Ahhh these 2 songs 💔 BTS the only musical artist to make me cry with upbeat songs. Love your reactions as usual I'm always looking forward to them each week.
The light sticks More accurately called ARMY bombs are synced up to your seat in the arena and there's a computer program that runs them. So each time you take them to a concert you have to resync them with the local arena you're in. The only time it's appropriate to call them a light stick is if you're boarding a plane with one please do not call it an army bomb. 😂
Jungkook so adorable KING OF KPOP 🔥 TAEHYUNG What makes Taehyung so mesmerizing to watch while he dances is that he doesn't just focus on the steps. It's the way every inch of his body moves and he adds his own flavor to it. Every facial expression is so well timed where it fits the choreography perfectly at any given time🔥
Their costumes/outfits look good because they were specially customised by DIOR for each member, catering to the members style, fitting etc. And the designs were done by an important person in Dior (i forgot what that position is called lol)
Since their trainee (ave. 2 yrs) and debut (6 yrs) time they didn't have any break and just worked day and night straight at that time. They also had to make a decision that year whether to renew their 7 yr contract which ends the following year. They got big unexpectedly and were exhausted also got so much pressures from inside of their country with more expectations not only in music but in other various ways and fans from outside of their country. They probably felt heavy with responsibilities and expectations.
Them considering disbandment has always been for military enlistment. And then new rules happened.. and they could postpone it. They cried then.. they cried now. They could not talk about it then directly.. and they did not talk about it now too.. when the were talking about taking a break. But later we got to know the actual reason. Back then, we would have got to know this reason aswell.. if they would have applied.
ohhhh thank you so much for this!! i've seen so many performers but bts is just on another level with so much stage presence, i love their lives much more than studio versions
It is a song that relates to their thoughts on disbandment but I also try not to forget that the love yourself trilogy is an exploration of the stages and different facets of love and that its intended goal is the discovery or epiphany of self love. It’s such a magnificently crafted story that I wish the back story of the possible band break up didn’t overshadow it, rather, supported it’s brilliance. Great songs and review! These two are definitely in my top BTS favorite songs.
To answer your question about them thinking about disbandment : I'm sure people already said that but that year they BLEW UP worldwide and in the US, i mean their success wasn't out of nowhere but they got invited to a lot of events, and it was a lot of work, and they talked about the fact that they had no one to turn to for help, because no one in the industry had lived through this. The success was good but also bad because of how racist and xenophobic the US industry is, but they'd been bullied by the korean industry for years too and it kept going, and that year a LOT of people were on their back WHILE they were working non stop and travelling everywhere. I'm not sure if it's this year(armys help) but i think they said that jungkook had shut off like it was bad for all of them. Even in the interviews you can imagine the kind of questions they'd get, and Namjoon had to translate everything.. it was a lot. They said later that they probably wouldn't have disbanded anyways, but it had gotten that bad, despite how grateful they were for the fans and the opportunities.. And that's from what we could understand from everything they said, because they definitely kept a lot of the pain to themselves. I encourage you to watch their speech when they won the MAMA Artist of the Year in 2018, they went through a lot of suffering, they're very emotional and you can tell that the award meant a lot to them. Thank you for another bts reaction !! I love watching them on here and patreon ehe
The disband period was just so stressful for them. They blow up in the US, and received many blacklash and racism, they were feeling overwelmed by the amount of attention (good and bad) they were receiving. It was a stress for them even more because they said many time they had NOONE to talk to about the things they had to deal, all the success, the racism, the expectations from the public, especially the harsh treatment recived from media and general public. Usually in Korea most of artist have "sunbaenims" (artist with more years of experience often from the same company), the role of sunbanims for younger artists is to help them deal with the fame, the music and ent. industry, give them advice and be a guide to them, a mentor almost. BTS often said they didn't have anyone to talk to when they were dealing with all the things that were happening in their life: bighit was a small company back then so they didn't have many "seniors" artists to talk to and artists from other companies used to see BTS as competitors, for them was hard to make friends in the industry. This explain why, now that they have more free time, they're spending it to create connections with other artists, since they never had much time to creat a real sunbanim-hoobae relationship, even if they don't seem to need that anymore, they figure out how to deal with all that alone, helping eachother
The rapline destroys this performance, but Hobi is just heartbreaking. Magic Shop is love and warmth, and Outro: Tear is the opposite. Amazing performances. And Dior Hobi is a superior Hobi.
You're right, it might actually be a difficult song for them to perform because they haven't explicitly said exactly that but they have all cried listening to it. It holds a close space in their heart
I wonder the same, RJ....I don't understand how they can get up there and perform Tear with such strength. I'd be in the corner crying if it were me. **Points for noticing Hobi's legendary Dior outfit!!
It still feels like yesterday Love Yourself: Tear came out that album truly has a special place in my heart not only was it my second comeback with them. But the lyrics hit deep.
K-pop light sticks BTS's are called army bombs! I'm not sure about other groups but BTS's army bombs link up to cell phones and then the cell phone GPS apps locate specific cell phones and army bombs, and they can change colors in a rolling ark across the stadium and the heart was created by GPS systems turning off some army bombs and leaving some army bombs on changing colors of the army bombs. Like I earlier mention the army bombs link to the cell phones the cell phone GPS locate all the army bombs through the computer system at the concert the computer system sends signals to the cell phones and army lawns to change color turn on and off blink!
I am not sure how the rap line feels about performing this song again. However, Jimin mentioned when asked to perform Lie that he probably wont perform it again because he is no longer in that bad headspace that he was when Lie was created.
Yesss I love ur bts reactions please react to their live performances of run bts, no more dream epilogue in japan, and attack on bangtan epilogue in japan there so fun and energizing
Love your reactions rj ❤️ magic shop what can we say about this absolutely beautiful song, always been 1 of my many favourite & the 1st to open it up (apart from jk) is my gorgeous tae with his unique voice 💜 I have to 100% agree with you when u seen him he's special 💜 helped me through & I think ill never stop loving his voice & everything else about the guy. Thanx again rj keep up with the reactions, hoping a scenery one 🙏 👍 😀
u've no idea how excited i feel whenever u drop a new bts reaction video😂... one of my favourite bts reactors...well i would like to recommend a video....well, there's an indian interview of bts - " BTS ft. Sakshma Srivastav , Indian interview , E now exclusive" by Zoom... Ngl that's the best interview ever... usually interviewers ask absurd questions like about their dating status and etc.. but Sakshma rly did a gr8 job by asking them the most intellectual questions which usually ppl don't even think of asking.... And our boys absolutely nailed answering those challenging questions.. u will also get to know how deep thinkers they are... And sakshma on the other hand is a beauty with brain... the boys were very comfortable around her which is very rare to see... chaos starts when they all start to blush especially V, jimin and jk and V literally started flirting with her lol 😂😂... Last but not the least, RM usually fakes his smile in interviews. Sarcasm is all written on his face cuz he's so done with those boring interviews who literally ask gibberish questions... we already know that RM is an intellectual person so he yearns for good questions.... in this interview, RM had the most proud and genuine smile which i haven't seen in any of the interview......it's not just me who's saying this but there are many reactors who've reacted to that video nd even they agreed to this that this is the best interview of bts ever... rly looking forward to it.. do react to that video.....
Love this reaction, RJ!!!! I assume they will no longer perform Outro: Tear because the meaning is in their past and they seem focused on the present and future.
i think they considered disbandment cuz they were tired. i remember in RM saying in a video (not sure if it was a festa vid) that "i know some of you are tired.. " while looking at the members
Hey can we have more Stray Kids pls!! As it can be anything either Easy, Any, Domino, Wow, Miroh, God's Menu, Back Door, Heyday and Charmer, Thank You!! 🤩
the goosebumps i get when jhope raps his part in tear
They were considering it because at the time they blew up majorly in the US and while it was good, it was also very bad for them. They struggled with the overwhelming attention which wasn't all positive. Journalists and random people around them at the award shows made really awful comments about them (like literally in front of them), and the media was really negative and racist. Not only that, the industry in Korea was making fun of their western success. Called the BB Award a paper award. Mocked them. Said they were betraying their culture. And just the PRESSURE. They had previously felt they had peaked during I Need U era. But they all buried in their feet for each other and stood strong to sign their next 7 year contract. (many Kpop groups don't make it past their 7 year contract mark)
I wish I could explain better. But those are just some of the things they were facing.
These two songs are two sides of a coin for me. Magic Shop makes me cry happy, relieved tears and Outro Tear destroys me into sobs.

@@nalalala7584 absolutely. They got their strength from our support and each other. I'm so glad they didn't disband.

Suga singing T.E.A.R. breaks me every time. It sounds so haunting.
The fact that it's Suga and then to hear it was because "they" were coming to an end as a group.
T - To accept the reality of the loss
E - Experience the pain of the loss
A - Adjust to the new environment without the person(s)
R - Reinvest in the new reality
i totally get why the members would cry.
Jimin's long high note in Magic shop is just so satisfying to hear.... i feel so happy to see him shine everytime he sings
Their stage presence is unmatched. And trust they're always giving their 200%.
Bts is really compose only with talented young men !
I really am in love with Jimin's voice
I am always so heartbroken during J-hope's verse of Tear..
I'm so glad you watched Tear live. It's legendary. Hobis stage presence and that outfit ahhh. I get goosebumps every time. 💜
THE OUTFIT! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
outro:tear has special meaning for bts...and during the busan concert in 2022 RM did say its proberbly the last time the rap line would preform Tear...they are moving on...new horizons...the pain of Outro Tear is being archived as a place and time in the past...and one of the great preformances that make bts rapline lagendary...
Dior clad J-Hope...ARMYS never 4get
Magic Shop is a song dedicated to ARMY. When we are feeling sad bts will always be there.
When they say: "you gave me the best of me, now you'll give YOU the best of you." and "So Show me!" and ARMY replies: "I'll show you!" It always gives me goosebumps.
Tears in my eyes every single time 💜💜
This song has literally saved lives. If you promise BTS you'll believe in yourself... It's such a powerful moment. I've heard from many people who say it changed their lives.
Well they have a lot of songs far too personal to them to not hurt while singing. There have been times ARMY has surprised the boys by singing songs that mean a lot to them and us too so you can expect a lot of songs to be emotionally hard to sing. But BTS also have hidden tracks that can only be accessed on the CDs of albums. They have a gorgeous hidden track called Sea if you’re interested and it’s one close to their and our hearts.
Sea is AMAZING!!!
Hidden tracks Skit on the start line And road/path on their debut album, all relate to sea
So much honesty in the lyrics? That's BTS
outro tear was the first time in my life I realized rap could be emotional and make me cry. the ending with jhope was a masterpiece and was one of the main reasons I dug further into the group
Jungkook’s voice gives me goosebumps, it’s not fair he looks that good and sings that good tbh😤
I saw Outro Tear performed LIVE and I dont know what they were thinking at the time, but They rocked the house and the place was LIT, I'm sure a lot of the fans happiness was due to the fact that they did not disband and was able to resolve what gave them so much pain.

THAT WAS SO FUNNY THE SILLY LITTLE JUMP SCARE
yeey my fav. reactor! i'm a treasure maker and army too! thank you for supporting BTS and Treasure! bts has a lot of beautiful songs and live stages for you to watch! so is Taehyung your bias?? 😅
Did not skip the intro! But I always enjoy sharing my two cents about the songs hehe here we go!
Outro: Tear is a very important song. It is the climax of the entire Love Yourself series and serves as a cliffhanger for Love Yourself: Answer.
In Episode 6 of their docu-series Break The Silence, Suga revealed that “Outro: Tear” was written when the band was considering a breakup. “When I played the song for the members we all cried together.”
“The lyrics for ‘Tear’ were written for the members,” he explained. “When I was writing the melody, at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members we all cried together.”
“Outro: Tear” is a darker reflection of what it means to love and the significance of goodbyes when loving someone. With the knowledge that the song is actually about possible disbandment, many of its lyrics can now be interpreted under a different light, such as the opening lines of the second and fifth verses:
“We walked towards the same place
But this place becomes our last”
RM (who raps in sadness), Suga (who raps with rage), and j-hope (who raps with disbelief) repeat these lyrics on the track. Evidently, when BTS first started out, the members all shared a similar dream of being successful. However, with the group’s newfound fame and launch into the international market, the shared dream became a topic of conflict rather than one of hope. The following lines address this topic:
“Although we used to talk about forever
Now we break each other without mercy”
In 2018, BTS was discussing the possible renewal of its contract with the group’s label, BigHit. While the members were uncertain about quitting, it is clear that the decision to disband would have been made with great difficulty.
“Outro: Tear” reads like a breakup song, and its overall angst reveals how hard each member would have taken a split through lyrics like:
“Although we thought that we dreamed the same dream
That dream has finally become a dream”
In the same episode, RM shares further sentiments on why it was such a daunting decision. He explained how BTS is more than just the group’s seven members:
“It doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s like an imaginary, momentary rainbow that’s been created by ourselves and the people who help us. It is going to disappear someday, so we have to stay humble and reflect on ourselves. I think it’s important for us to spend more time reflecting on these things.”
Outro: Tear can also be seen as the exact opposite of Outro: Her (from the same album series, Love Yourself, which has an antithesis structure) as the chorus of Outro: Tear, mirrors and echos the chorus for Outro: Her:
Outro: Her
All of my wonder
You’re the answer
I call you “Her”, “Her”
‘Cause you’re my tear, tear
All of my wonder
You’re the answer
I call you “Her”, “Her”
‘Cause you’re my tear, tear
Outro: Tear
You’re my tear
You’re my, you’re my tear
You’re my tear
You’re my, you’re my tear
You’re my tear
You’re my, you’re my tear
What more can I say?
You’re my tear
When the songs ends, it builds intensely as any good climax would. Each rapper lets out all their pain and frustration ending with J-Hope’s furious rap until all we’re left with is his heavy breathing at the very end. It’s somehow satisfying and unsatisfying all at once.
But there is a reason for that.
The reason for that is that it’s not the end. It’s the end of the song. But it’s not the end of the story. Remember this is the climax of the story that is told throughout the Love Yourself album series. It is the conflict reaching its peak. It’s everything the story has building up to before it reaches its resolution.
And it hasn’t just been building up to the end of this relationship. But to the very destruction of the self. Everything they had become, everything they believed, everything they were. Completely and utterly destroyed. They had risked so much and played a dangerous game. And they lost.
Now they have to pay the price.
But this is not how the story ends. If you analyse the Love Yourself series, LY: Her serves as the idealisation of love and LY: Tear shows the crushing realisation that said love was fake and unhealthy. LY: Answer would then be a story of self discovery and growing into the person you want to be. Well the reason that Outro: Tear is the climax is because it is the metaphorical death before the rebirth. That is the real meaning behind Love Yourself: Tear…
Sometimes you need to destroy everything that once was in order to rebuild everything anew.
It is the “end”. But after every “end” there comes a new beginning. And this Outro: Tear is the climax of this transformation when they must turn into ash.
Wow well said 💜
I've said it once and I'll say it again. I'm HIGHLY critical of rappers in kpop because the roles are assigned to idols. So when I hear that someone is the "rapper" of a group, I question it. Are they REALLY? With Suga and RM, they're the real deal and IMO 2 of the most underrated rappers in the world. Not only are their flows great, but their lyrics and rhyme schemes are also out of this world. To be able to rap in 2 languages, and interchange words/rhymes between 2 languages that aren't similar blows my mind. To be able to rap in English and Spanish or English and Italian, or English and French isn't as impressive as an Asian language simply because they don't even follow the same alphabet. So to rhyme in English and Korean is on a whole nother level of brilliance. RM and Suga deserve more recognition globally and not just amongst kpop fans.
the lightstick connects to an app and you enter your seat when ur there at the venue in the app. through bluetooth, a lighting team controls pretty much the entire stadium's lightsticks
It is must to accept that the rap-line of BTS is the best in K-pop 🔥🔥🔥
Two of my best BTS songs. Stage presence and live performances are the best. BTS rapline is sure fire and the best there is.
Attack on Bangtan live epilogue was also one of their best stages ❤
i can't wait until you see a BTS concert in person. It's an out of body experience.
totally get you. i have seen so many groups and acts but BTS is so special when it comes to how they interacts and perform together. you get very emotionel when they sing. i cry when i watch the last song and i got goosebumps with magic shop. so when the concert is done you have gone through so many emotions that you are mentally drained.
and they always have an amazing chemistry on stage that´s unmatched. they are just having fun. they are captivating. it leaves you amazed and wanting more. so no matter what type of concert army will go because not one concert is the same.
Jimins voice🔥🔥🔥
These songs wooooo buddy. This whole album is heart wrenching to me.
How I take BTS songs from following them is they obviously write about themselves and write for people who look up to them and who are feeling the same feelings. Music is art and art is healing. Bang PD (prev. CEO/Mentor) on multiple occasions has stated that if they were feeling something that they should do what they do best and create. Put it in a song and sing/rap it, record it and perform it. Feelings aren't meant to be bottled up in a person they are meant to be screamed out into the world. This band does it through beautiful music that is not only SO specific to them and their journey and their relationships but also written in a way that once its performed or given to us, we can also use it in our lives to describe our feelings, to scream them out in a sense and I have always admired their writing skills and intent for that.
You spoke about stage presence and YES I agree they have a whole wack load of it, they ooze performance. It comes from a lot of practice first and foremost they practically live on the stage with how many concerts and tours they have done up to this point, they are comfortable. Live shows after live shows are a must in the industry over there. I think though more than that they are IN THE MOMENT, these songs, these lyrics are special, theyre written for loved ones (themselves, each other, fans) they cant help but be wrapped up in it and what comes out in the performance is the reason why the fans keep watching.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Outro: Tear Live at Wembley (in Dior), it is insane but I feel it every time like its the first time. Its Magic to me, idc what anyone says. They are geniuses in my books.
8:59 your whole reaction from this point on was so ME the first time I watched this!!!! Brought me back 🥲
TEAR is a masterpiece. The entire album. I love BOTH of these songs and was blessed to be live in the audience for them a few times. TEAR has to be difficult. They havent perfomed it since that tour.
The ARMY bombs are bluetooth connected to the sound engineer by seat number and the color changes are controlled by them. Or you can turn yours on manual.
They had gotten to a point where the fame came very fast and they were feeling very overwhelmed. They were under immense pressure. And they honestly hadnt had a break since the debuted. They needed time to refocus on what they love most: the music.
I have always said and felt that while Tear is a very emotional song based on its meaning and background for the guys, I believe sing/performing it is not that difficult for them in since of "oh this is when we were going to break up". I think of it as them saying "yes, this is how bad things got for us, BUT, look we weathered the storm and became stronger for it. Unlike other groups who have felt the same way and disbanded, we worked through it." I see this song as another affirmation of their unique bond to each other.
ARMY bomb lightsticks are Bluetooth connected, paired with the seats and controlled. Technology is crazyyyyy 😭
That's Dior Hobi and he DEFINITELY hits different than all other Hobis, he is usually a favorite of most ARMY
the lights are connected by blue tooth ...and it even works from home on online concerts
These two performances are phenomenal!!
Bts is something really really special
It was a battle today getting tix to AgustD (aka Suga's) solo tour. Sold out in about an hour in most US cities for ARMY presale!
they considered disbandment because it was when they first got shot into kind of super-star mode and it was all a lot for them to deal with and they were all sturggeling a bit mentally. But also, i feel like this never gets talked about, but it was also the year thier contract with Big Hit was coming to an end. This is often a big transition period for Kpop groups. less successful groups often get dropped, some have members who just want to pursue different paths so they might drop members, any who stay often renegotiate contracts, and very successful groups can also take the opportunity to separate and create their own label and gain Independence. A path BTS was definitely capable with their wealth and name recognition.
The only times the members have talked about this time they really only said, the topic of disbandment had been brought up. Which to me seems perfectly natural due to their struggling, but also all the talk of contracts.
In the end BTS decided to stay with Big Hit with all original 7 members and to resign another 7 year contract (the longest legally available) which i think says so much. I don't know if they renegotiated anything but even before that Big Hit gave their artists bigger percentage of ownership and royalties than almost any other company and significantly more that any "Big 3" Kpop company. Plus pretty sure BTS members were also gifted shares in Big Hit (now HYBE.) don't know if that still holds true newer groups...
I just think it's so impressive thier loyalty to eachother and their fans and it makes me happy they have helped build a company that repays that
Rm is so dope🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
14:18 i think the cyphers are definitely those type of songs that they needed to get out of their system during a specific time frame and now they feel emotionally unattached for them. Those songs came from a place of pent up frustration for their haters but now they've matured past that.
Speaking of songs that are emotional, outro: tear is definitely such a song, they wont perform it again probably ever (CRIES). I can't say for many other songs.
BUT (for a fun fact), here's two of their songs that we as ARMY beg a live performance for but wont get it: paradise, louder than bombs.
Also fun fact: Both namjoon and yoongi have said about their solo stuff that they (paraphrasing) "want to erase their first(or old) mix-tapes from existing" because they convey feeling that were present in them in the time they wrote them, but are not how they feel at present. But both understand that releasing those songs way a part of an important process and that they would not regret it now. (that includes mono and honestly im so sad because like that's my favorite thing in this universe what do you mean you're not satisfied with it namjoon???)
Ahhh these 2 songs 💔 BTS the only musical artist to make me cry with upbeat songs. Love your reactions as usual I'm always looking forward to them each week.
Rap line...👑💜 The best...👍 Bangtan Sonyeondan...💜🧿 Video için teşekkürler...
The light sticks More accurately called ARMY bombs are synced up to your seat in the arena and there's a computer program that runs them. So each time you take them to a concert you have to resync them with the local arena you're in.
The only time it's appropriate to call them a light stick is if you're boarding a plane with one please do not call it an army bomb. 😂
Jungkook so adorable KING OF KPOP 🔥 TAEHYUNG What makes Taehyung so mesmerizing to watch while he dances is that he doesn't just focus on the steps. It's the way every inch of his body moves and he adds his own flavor to it. Every facial expression is so well timed where it fits the choreography perfectly at any given time🔥
Their costumes/outfits look good because they were specially customised by DIOR for each member, catering to the members style, fitting etc.
And the designs were done by an important person in Dior (i forgot what that position is called lol)
Since their trainee (ave. 2 yrs) and debut (6 yrs) time they didn't have any break and just worked day and night straight at that time. They also had to make a decision that year whether to renew their 7 yr contract which ends the following year. They got big unexpectedly and were exhausted also got so much pressures from inside of their country with more expectations not only in music but in other various ways and fans from outside of their country. They probably felt heavy with responsibilities and expectations.
Jin jin jin 💜💜💜
Them considering disbandment has always been for military enlistment. And then new rules happened.. and they could postpone it.
They cried then.. they cried now. They could not talk about it then directly.. and they did not talk about it now too.. when the were talking about taking a break. But later we got to know the actual reason. Back then, we would have got to know this reason aswell.. if they would have applied.
ohhhh thank you so much for this!! i've seen so many performers but bts is just on another level with so much stage presence, i love their lives much more than studio versions
It is a song that relates to their thoughts on disbandment but I also try not to forget that the love yourself trilogy is an exploration of the stages and different facets of love and that its intended goal is the discovery or epiphany of self love. It’s such a magnificently crafted story that I wish the back story of the possible band break up didn’t overshadow it, rather, supported it’s brilliance. Great songs and review! These two are definitely in my top BTS favorite songs.
To answer your question about them thinking about disbandment : I'm sure people already said that but that year they BLEW UP worldwide and in the US, i mean their success wasn't out of nowhere but they got invited to a lot of events, and it was a lot of work, and they talked about the fact that they had no one to turn to for help, because no one in the industry had lived through this. The success was good but also bad because of how racist and xenophobic the US industry is, but they'd been bullied by the korean industry for years too and it kept going, and that year a LOT of people were on their back WHILE they were working non stop and travelling everywhere. I'm not sure if it's this year(armys help) but i think they said that jungkook had shut off like it was bad for all of them. Even in the interviews you can imagine the kind of questions they'd get, and Namjoon had to translate everything.. it was a lot. They said later that they probably wouldn't have disbanded anyways, but it had gotten that bad, despite how grateful they were for the fans and the opportunities.. And that's from what we could understand from everything they said, because they definitely kept a lot of the pain to themselves. I encourage you to watch their speech when they won the MAMA Artist of the Year in 2018, they went through a lot of suffering, they're very emotional and you can tell that the award meant a lot to them.
Thank you for another bts reaction !! I love watching them on here and patreon ehe
The disband period was just so stressful for them. They blow up in the US, and received many blacklash and racism, they were feeling overwelmed by the amount of attention (good and bad) they were receiving. It was a stress for them even more because they said many time they had NOONE to talk to about the things they had to deal, all the success, the racism, the expectations from the public, especially the harsh treatment recived from media and general public. Usually in Korea most of artist have "sunbaenims" (artist with more years of experience often from the same company), the role of sunbanims for younger artists is to help them deal with the fame, the music and ent. industry, give them advice and be a guide to them, a mentor almost. BTS often said they didn't have anyone to talk to when they were dealing with all the things that were happening in their life: bighit was a small company back then so they didn't have many "seniors" artists to talk to and artists from other companies used to see BTS as competitors, for them was hard to make friends in the industry. This explain why, now that they have more free time, they're spending it to create connections with other artists, since they never had much time to creat a real sunbanim-hoobae relationship, even if they don't seem to need that anymore, they figure out how to deal with all that alone, helping eachother
The rapline destroys this performance, but Hobi is just heartbreaking. Magic Shop is love and warmth, and Outro: Tear is the opposite. Amazing performances. And Dior Hobi is a superior Hobi.
You're right, it might actually be a difficult song for them to perform because they haven't explicitly said exactly that but they have all cried listening to it. It holds a close space in their heart
The light sticks (ARMY bombs) are bluetooth connected and synced through an app to your seat number. It's very cool.
Totally agree !! Love your reaction
Yeah they def experienced a lot and overcame a lot also Cypher too
2 of my favorite BTS live performances!!! The hell took you so long my guy?!!
Two wonderful performances but Outro Tear live at Wembley Stadium hits hard 💜
I use the concept of a room in my heart where I can retreat for comfort. It actually helps when I have nowhere else to turn
Oh yeaaah, Tae looks absolutely gorgeous 💜
I wonder the same, RJ....I don't understand how they can get up there and perform Tear with such strength. I'd be in the corner crying if it were me. **Points for noticing Hobi's legendary Dior outfit!!
Amo todas las canciones de estos 7 chicos tan extraordinarios.
13:50 i really believe it is, once they said that all of them cried listening to it
It still feels like yesterday Love Yourself: Tear came out that album truly has a special place in my heart not only was it my second comeback with them. But the lyrics hit deep.
Suga wrote outro tear when they wer contemplating disbandment after a rough year
That was great they cried first time hearing this from SUGA.. I think you will love their song let go .
K-pop light sticks BTS's are called army bombs! I'm not sure about other groups but BTS's army bombs link up to cell phones and then the cell phone GPS apps locate specific cell phones and army bombs, and they can change colors in a rolling ark across the stadium and the heart was created by GPS systems turning off some army bombs and leaving some army bombs on changing colors of the army bombs. Like I earlier mention the army bombs link to the cell phones the cell phone GPS locate all the army bombs through the computer system at the concert the computer system sends signals to the cell phones and army lawns to change color turn on and off blink!
I saw that will not perform this Outro song anymore after the Busan concert . I think I must have seen it on Weverse in their official announcements.
Autro tear...ahhhh always makes me😭😭😭😭
I am not sure how the rap line feels about performing this song again. However, Jimin mentioned when asked to perform Lie that he probably wont perform it again because he is no longer in that bad headspace that he was when Lie was created.
Jhopeeee 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss I love ur bts reactions please react to their live performances of run bts, no more dream epilogue in japan, and attack on bangtan epilogue in japan there so fun and energizing
i need that reaction too!!
Love your reactions rj ❤️ magic shop what can we say about this absolutely beautiful song, always been 1 of my many favourite & the 1st to open it up (apart from jk) is my gorgeous tae with his unique voice 💜 I have to 100% agree with you when u seen him he's special 💜 helped me through & I think ill never stop loving his voice & everything else about the guy. Thanx again rj keep up with the reactions, hoping a scenery one 🙏 👍 😀
u've no idea how excited i feel whenever u drop a new bts reaction video😂... one of my favourite bts reactors...well i would like to recommend a video....well, there's an indian interview of bts - " BTS ft. Sakshma Srivastav , Indian interview , E now exclusive" by Zoom... Ngl that's the best interview ever... usually interviewers ask absurd questions like about their dating status and etc.. but Sakshma rly did a gr8 job by asking them the most intellectual questions which usually ppl don't even think of asking.... And our boys absolutely nailed answering those challenging questions.. u will also get to know how deep thinkers they are... And sakshma on the other hand is a beauty with brain... the boys were very comfortable around her which is very rare to see... chaos starts when they all start to blush especially V, jimin and jk and V literally started flirting with her lol 😂😂... Last but not the least, RM usually fakes his smile in interviews. Sarcasm is all written on his face cuz he's so done with those boring interviews who literally ask gibberish questions... we already know that RM is an intellectual person so he yearns for good questions.... in this interview, RM had the most proud and genuine smile which i haven't seen in any of the interview......it's not just me who's saying this but there are many reactors who've reacted to that video nd even they agreed to this that this is the best interview of bts ever... rly looking forward to it.. do react to that video.....
Yass! Finally
I am an army...and always defends them....from hatters..in my way...I lovs them so much
Todos son geniales, pero es Jimin quien me captura, la elegancia de sus movimientos, su voz única
Outro: tear = 🔥😭🔥😭
Jimin says he does like performing "Lie". Says he is no longer in that place and does not like going there for performances.
Love this reaction, RJ!!!!
I assume they will no longer perform Outro: Tear because the meaning is in their past and they seem focused on the present and future.
I love it when people call Taehyung beautiful
army stream bts they are now on at 13th spot on global spotify chart let make it to top 10
Yeey 💜💜
i think they considered disbandment cuz they were tired. i remember in RM saying in a video (not sure if it was a festa vid) that "i know some of you are tired.. " while looking at the members
your need to react mic drop too. they perfom after this outro tear performance
I hope you read the lyrics for magic shop, cause it's so emotional uplifting
thanks for the reaction!
I was waiting a lot for this reaction, so thanks a lot
Borahae
Lyrics🔥💜
Please react to BTS- House of cards, BTS- Tomorrow, and BTS- Rain
namjoon turned you italian for a hot minute at the beginning.
Tear is such a hard song for me to listen to. The other song about the potential break up is "Let Go". I can't even listen to it.
I love JUNGKOOK harmonization so much!!!
