Jimin is a very introspective person. While he is always there for others he tends to try to figure his problems out on his own. It was a breakthrough for him to actually share his depression with his members. Appreciate your recognition of BTS's cheering for each other's success. They are special.
About your question why would someone like Jimin, who's famous and loved by millions would feel so alone to the point of nearly breaking down. Is actually quite simple. Unlike in the west were celebrities don't have much connection with their fans. BTS is quite the opposite, cause they mostly spend their time and energy with their fans so it's inevitable that both parties would feel attached. So when the pandemic happened, they were in a bad state. Like they couldn't comprehend what just happened. In an interview in Suchwita, Suga & RM had talked about what they had felt at the start of pandemic. RM said he literally went through all different stages of grief and Suga was pretty much in denial of what had happened. They had prepared so much at that time for their tour cause it was supposed to be their biggest and last tour before enlisting. But due to the pandemic everything they had prepared for were cancelled. So you can just imagine what they feel. It's like their world has stopped, mind you it was the start of pandemic so everything was uncertain at that point, you can't even tell if it's end of the world, or would you be infected then die or still live? was there even a cure? lastly, would everything return to normal? Those questions keeps looming in everyone's head. Imagine not meeting your friends and love ones for a very long time, you can't even go any activities outside and have fun because of the quarantine. So to the majority of people the pandemic negative impacts their life. Except of course, to the people like me who don't really go outside and doesn't have any friend. Anyways, so for BTS, the Pandemic is pretty much a disaster considering they live most of their life creating music, having concerts and performing infront of millions of people. So the thought of not be able to perform ever again is terrifying to say the least. J-Hope had elaborated in a BTS song called Dis-ease, that he felt so uneasy just 'resting' during pandemic cause it feels like he constantly need to do something in order to feel at ease. RM then elaborated further in his verse "I'm ill, I'm work itself, I have a friend called "rest" , oh! I never liked him" Which just shows BTS hard working mentality. In another Suchwita episode, Suga confessed that he cried infront of his parents when it finally sunk to him that he probably won't be able to perform and work again which might negatively affect his entire future considering music is his life. This also applies to Jimin cause performing with BTS is his life. He can't comprehend who he is if he's not Jimin from BTS. So it's like facing an existential crisis. If there's no ARMY'S, no BTS, who is he? Anyways he's like a fish in a fish bowl but whenever he's with BTS and performing infront of ARMY'S, it would feels like he's breathing and swimming freely in open seas. So when the pandemic struck, he's no longer a fish in a fish bowl. He's only an empty fish bowl cause the fish is already dead. If you watch "Like Crazy" again, you'll notice in the first clips there's an 'empty fish bowl' right besides him when he's resting on the table. 26:38 Actually, everything in the 'Like Crazy' MV has meaning. The mud, the flickering of lights, the empty fish bowl, the blurry background, his outfit, the girl he faced in the bar, etc. It has lots of symbolism even the lyrics itself like the part were he can't recognize himself facing the mirror and in the ending line: "I wanna stay in this dream, don't save me" That line just hits different when you know his only dream is to stay with BTS for a long time. And the reason why he didn't say "stay with BTS forever" is because he knows that's simply impossible, but despite so, to him if BTS is just a dream, he'd rather not wake up as implied in the lyrics. He'd rather stay in the illusion (dream) and he doesn't wanna be saved. Also, the reason why I think why he still feels alone despite having millions of fans who genuinely loves and adores him. Is because Jimin has developed like an impostor syndrome were he can't comprehend that the fans truly loves him. He knows for sure they love him for real, but in his mind the one they truly love is not him but the version of him they created. So technically it's not him.
All Jimin solo songs have very different vibes to offer he always does something he never done before like 'serendipity' is this beautiful sweet song while 'filter' is sensual and hype and then we've 'like crazy' literal crazy loneliness lol 😂 Anyway love y'all reaction 💜💜✌️
Jimins is definitely my favorite solo project by bts so far, along with Jhope Jack In The Box 💜 so organic and feels really personal, 2 very different amazing albums! i miss jimin and jhope so much.
Jimin’s Face album moved me in so many different ways like millions of fans who appreciated this masterpiece & gave it overwhelming history making records! from the backstory to how it was performed by Jimin that made insurmountable connection to fans & netizens, Face is a hype and a stable daily jam from its release. Jimin is a music genius, a passionate perfectionist & a humble king! 👑 💜
Soo true i love Wings and love yourself series but Face is now my all time fav its just personaly reflect me and made me move on really hard time during the time he released..now im bias wreak to Jimin listening to album daily each song is so addictive and “face off” is such a masterpiece jimin is a genius honestly convert those emotions,feeling into a bilboard no 1 song ..well not many people can do that
You’re assessment of the boys personalities is understandable, given you’re only at the start of your journey learning about them; but as you come to really get to know them, Suga is actually quite extroverted and outspoken, as is RM. Of all of them, Jimin is the most shy and quiet around people he doesn’t know and is a very private person. Jin is the other one who may seem very extroverted as a public figure, and while not shy, he is very private in his personal life. Since you mentioned JM’s singing voice, his voice in Like Crazy is what he’s the most famous for - extremely high, breathy, soft and delicate, yet powerful and crystal clear. He does, however, have a lower range, which he uses intermittently (like the first phrase in SMFP2), and in past BTS songs. In ‘real life’, his speaking voice is low and he has one of the most calm, comforting peaceful auras about him.
I think a lot if not all the members’ depression, low mood and sense of helplessness came because they’d worked for an entire year writing music and getting ready to tour, had all the venues booked etc when the pandemic hit and everything had to be cancelled - ripped away from them. And they were left with nothing to show for all their hard work. That went on, as you know, for the better part of 2 years. And while BTS did their best to keep busy producing content for online distribution, as entertainers, they NEED a physical audience to feel complete. It’s no wonder they struggled. Hope this little bit of history helps.
On Suchwita, Jimin talked with Yoongi (Suga) about how he went through a period of getting drunk and thinking he was having a good time, but the members never gave him grief for it - Yoongi said sometimes you just have to give the person space to reflect on it and not try to tell them to 'cheer up and get over it'... The members are very good at supporting each other and never making anyone feel like they are being judged.... Yoongi was reading Jimin's lyrics and one line basically said ' I was acting like a fool' so Yoongi said ' were you? ' , Jimin said' you should know' and Yoongi said ' I do' they laughed about it - the whole episode just reinforced how Army felt about the member's bond. When you said that they were 'loved by all' we only wish that was the case, unfortunately the group still get a load of hate from antis (non fans) and at times throughout their 10+years all of them have received more than their share of criticism... Army try everyday to let people see just how humble BTS are even though they are extremely talented people. I remember one incident back when they hadn't long debuted, RM being the only English speaking member at the time, translated a lot of the hate comments directed at the others into English but changed them to positive remarks so that his brothers wouldn't feel hurt. That's our leader and that's BTS... and why we continue to support and love them 💜Borahae💜
What attracts me about Jimin is not only his amazing vocals and dances but also his personality that he is always sincere and thoughtful. His first album tells us what he's been through during lockdown and it touched many of his fans. I love him so much and want to hear more story about him with his angelic voice. Thank you for reviewing the video about Jimin! 💛💜
Jimin for me is the best artist of this generation, he maximized his skills in this album which absolutely stuns me how amazing it is and for me FACE is the best album by far in decades, Jimin is my favorite artist and I have never been disappointed, I am proud to follow this true artist.
One of the biggest issues Jimin faced was not performing in front of Army amd just doing lots of recorded material. He loves performing on stage and repeatedly said this over the pandemic. Apart from this video Jimin has spoken a lot about his album, particularly on Suchwita with Suga and on his Weverse Live he did expaining about the process. There is enough of Jimin's own explanations in different places to not need to theorise... articles and interviews all piece together what Jimin was really feeling and going through. Thanks for the reaction. This album is extraordinary given the issues with Billboard rule changing so Like Crazy couldn't stay at no.1, lack if radio play. The hidden track and lack of tracks meant it didn’t count in some countries charts such as the UK. Jimin was going to release the tracks /album as free on Soundcloud too so the fact it has broken so many records and been so successful is testament to Jimin and his team.
Boracity magazine did a great job summarizing thr album which helps everyone understand the direction Jimin took. So proud of him for being open and taking artistic risks that paid off
I've always said I think that's why a lot of western groups end up disbanding is because they want to explore their own creativity as a soloist and that's a lot harder when you are in a group. It's not wrong to want to be a soloist but I feel like a lot of groups were done with the intention that it was not going to be forever, that at some point they would all go solo but being in a group is good launching pad for that intention. And you're right BTS don't get a big ego or jealous of the others, they truly look at each other's solo success as a success for BTS as a whole, not just a personal success. I remember Jungkook being on a show awhile back with a member of Shinhwa (a kpop group that is still together with the original members 25 years later). And he told Jungkook their individual accomplishments shouldn't only be looked at as personal accomplishments but accomplishments for the entire group. In some ways it's kind of like being married in my opinion. I remember when I first discovered BTS and I was shocked to discover they all had solo songs on BTS albums, not 1 or 2 members only but all 7 members and that they actually get to perform as soloists during their tours too. It really lets them all shine on their own and are able to share more of who they are as individuals which I think most artists need to do. There isn't 1 main star of the group and the others are just background vocals, they all have something special that can't be done by another member. They are truly family at this point that even if god forbid they end up not performing together they would still be in each other's lives.
Aaahh...listening to sad music when you feel depressed is like a catharsis! It actually makes you feel better! if you fully devote yourself to your grief.and sadness, you are sort of "cleansed" afterwards, you are free from it. But If you deny yourself to feel sad, you will carry that sadness deep inside unhandled.... Anyway, that is how I work!
Thank you for your reaction, I enjoy watching the explantion videos with you. In a recent interiew with L.A. Times, Suga was asked if he was jealous if his bandmates song did better than his. This was his response. “Are you competitive with your family members? Do you get jealous if your brother or your sister does well?” he asked with a laugh during a Zoom interview (Suga spoke through a Korean translator). “We’re real brothers, period. If I do well, that’s good. If my family members do well, that’s even better.”
Kpop cds have a huge market due to the collecting value. Many fans purchase cd players specifically due to this and the cds come with photo cards, posters, tiny gifts and collectable items as well. Unlike western artists who just give a plastic case with a booklet. U get so much great stuff for ur money.
♦Jimin mentioned that one of his fav movies “Like Crazy” inspired parts of the song aside from the title of song. In the beginning as well as ending to the song, he even uses excerpt wordings from it. Jimin has also said that many of the songs on the album convey what he was going through, his thoughts, his feelings, his emotions as well as despair & depression, during the pandemic in the last few yrs. He also was hoping that maybe it could help others by way of relating & going through similar difficulties during pandemic. So this song Like Crazy, could also be during that time, thinking back while laying his head down, on table in that depressing small room, dreaming of the better times in the past, when he was free to enjoy himself, as well as being with someone or with friends, or even around ppl in general, being able to be free to go out & party. Which is why he even said in the lyrics please don’t wake me up from this dream. I want to stay here.. Maybe, since dirt or mud means despair, that was what all the dirty grimyness including on his hands in the end, also represented, despair of situation, how he felt or how things were at that time, even when it seemed to even ooze into his dream state.
JIMIN said when his dad listened to his EP that his dad cried Jimin asked his dad why did you cry and his father said because the songs were sad but I'm pretty sure he told his father he was better now.
Did I say this already? For me, I like to watch the first time with no English subs or background info. I can just get absorbed into the singing, dancing, the video itself..I watch it straight through and don't try to analyze every little thing. I just enjoy. The second time- English subtitles. Their Story Videos/Rap videos generally have a deeper meaning, with rhyming in English /Korean, cultural references, etc as you found out. I need to focus. The third time, the explanation video if there is one. Then I can say, "Oh, so that's why the door was open.." If I watch the explanation video first, I would be asking, ."what door? what bell?..." Then I may go back and watch it again- with all the information. Don't worry...some of their videos require 2 or 3 viewings..Sometimes we (English speakers), still aren't quite sure of the Korean translation. For particular videos we can watch 7 times and still discover something new...thanks to the rap line's (mostly) brilliant writing. That's why BTS is so fascinating! Anyway, that's just me. PS Some reacters watch the first time half reading the English subs, (with pauses.) Then watch the explanation right after,. in the same reaction. It takes a bit longer, but we don't mind, it gives a complete picture of the song. 💜💜💜
I still listen to the music on my CD player, I have a good one at home 🤭. A lot of Army buy the CD album just for helping the boys and collecting photocards, because BTS CD albums are like Christmas gift ! with a lot of photocard, photobook, note book and suprise stuff insides, and only listen to digital album. For me me (and a lot of "silver" Army or not so young Army 😉) , i really enjoy listen to BTS CD when I drive my car every day on the way to my work, or at home, the sunday morning... CD's are part of my daily routine with music, besides digital and streams...
@@TripTipsPodcast I am a relatively new ARMY but I also own a CD player & have started purchasing physical copies of their albums to support them. They already give us so much I feel it’s the least I can do. Plus their albums are really fun to unbox.
updated Jimin info that some aren't aware of: ❣JIMIN, born October 13, 1995, at age 11, started studying, performing, & competing (winning every competition), in hip hop, popping (excelled), & street dancing, while attending the renowned Just Dance Academy in Busan where he's from! He was so good that an instructor even had the high tuition fee waived at one point! This was while also attending middle school, where he loved sports, being quite athletic, joined the football team, excellent at track, great at basketball, & billiards! Jimin also, all throughout his schooling, was known as a top scholar, achieving perfect scores, especially in math & science which just always came easy to him! Jimin was even class president for 9 yrs in a row! Jimin, all throughout his schooling, was also quite good in art class, as well as calligraphy. Jimin, then also took up contemporary dance. The media, after seeing a performance of Jimin's performing at a huge Busan Festival Event, called Jimin "The rising star of Busan"!! JIMIN also studied ballet & traditional Korean dance while attending Busan High School of the Arts. Jimin still went to Just Dance Academy to take hip hop classes whenever he could because his first love has always been hip hop, even though he was now majoring in contemporary! JIMIN even had an offer to dance overseas, but declined because he also wanted to become a singer since the 2nd grade, to the dismay of one of his dance instructors who said "The world of dance was going to lose a great artist"!! So Jimin then went and auditioned for BigHit Entertainment, (company BTS is signed with), being the very last member to join, being a trainee for only a few months (which is unheard of for most Kpop idols), as opposed to the 2-3 yrs of being a trainee the other members had! But Jimin was so good that he was assigned the official title of one of the two Main Dancers, as well as Lead Vocalist. Jimin was even assigned most of the high notes since the very beginning, because even without all that training in the beginning, he was that good, a natural born singer who, just like his dancing makes you feel every emotion and feeling he's trying to convey! JIMIN, also, for 8 yrs, since a quite young boy, trained in various forms (4), of martial arts: Taekwondo (Blackbelt), Hapkido, Kumdo (Korean form of Kendo), & Chinese martial arts. He even won a scholarship, the only student to do so, to study more extensively in China for awhile! All the martial arts training has given JIMIN his phenomenal inner core strength, as well as his amazing flexibility, which has enabled Jimin to achieve all those breathtakingly spectacular gravity defying dance moves! JIMIN has found a way to incorporate all his various dance disciplines, as well as his extensive training in martial arts into his unique, ever so special, outstandingly amazing dancing abilities!! JIMIN, has been called 'Stage Commander', known for his amazing, so mesmerizing stage presence. Each dance move is executed flawlessly, his extensions all the way to the fingertips, his lines so clean, his fluidity, his poise & elegance, his ever so graceful moves, but yet, sharp, quick & deliberate when required! He focuses on every detail! Known for his work ethics and being a perfectionist to a fault, spending hours in the practice room, will study every move, even focusing on hands to fingertips. Even his facial expressions, or the look in his eyes! Every single detail he focuses on. Jimin tends to take in the music and interprets all the emotion & feelings, whatever it's trying to convey through his body movements as well as his vocals. JIMIN has won the prestigious titles for 4 yrs in a row, for KING OF KPOP, as well as also winning BEST TOP #1 DANCER IN KPOP, now an amazing 5 yrs in a row!! Jimin is also referred to as "Rookie's Bible" because all rookie idols, try to emulate & study every move he makes, trying to learn from him! Aside from all that Jimin has won other countless award, broken many records. His many solo songs: ‘Lie’, ‘Serendipity’, ‘Filter’, ‘Promise’, ‘Christmas Love’, including collabs: Jimin's OST ‘With You’. Jimin’s song “Friends” he wrote, composed & helped produce, which ft. V, was also in Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’! Jimin also did a collab w/Taeyang ‘Vibe’, have all broken charting records worldwide, as well as being top seller, plus most listened to. Jimin is also featured in songs for Fast & Furious movie ‘Fast X’ in collab songs “Angel Pt.1” as well as “Angel Pt.2”. Now the same is happening with Jimin’s first solo released album “FACE” along with main title song “Like Crazy” as well as pre-realeased “Set Me Free Pt.2”m which has now hit 100M views. All other songs equally amazing Including “Face-Off” & “Alone”, & hidden track, “Letter”, Jimin’s ‘Like Crazy’ Debuted Atop Billboard Hot 100, First Solo No. 1 for a BTS Member. Songs are still topping charts in no less the 119 countries. The song also makes Jimin the first South Korean soloist in history to top the Hot 100. 🎉🎉 Also, "FACE" by Jimin debuts at #2 on Billboard 200 Album Chart. Jimin holds the record as the First Korean and K-Pop Soloist to achieve this feat in Billboard 200 history! Jimin continues to thrive in BTS' solo era following his official solo debut, that has propelled Jimin to make three new major Spotify records, to solidify his legacy as the most successful Korean solo artist in history, just two months into his solo career. Music data sources reported that Jimin's Spotify profile has now surpassed 1 Billion streams across all credits, becoming the fastest Korean/K-pop solo artist in history to reach this milestone. It took him 393 days to achieve these numbers, breaking the previous record of 409 days. music data sources reported that Jimin's Spotify profile surpassed 1 Billion streams across all credits, becoming the fastest Korean/K-pop solo artist in history to reach this milestone. It took him 393 days to achieve these numbers, breaking the previous record of 409 days. Jimin has now surpassed TWO BILLION streams across all credits on Spotify (profile and solo songs) 🥳🎉 Jimin has now also become the Global Ambassador for both Dior as well as Global Ambassador for Tiffany & Co.! Jimin also is breaking records for being #1 branding marketing idol, every single month for over 4 yrs, a feat never achieved before, and still ongoing! The term the "Jimin Effect" is now in the Urban Dictionary! So much more as well but will stop here.
Wow this is incredible 🤩 Thanks for the detailed explanation and breakdown. You could write a book on his life. You know so much detailed information it’s amazing 💜😊💜😊
I honestly did not know the song has such a deep meaning because even though Jimin is my favourite member in BTS, I didn't really into his solo songs this time. (not because it was bad, its just not my taste of music probably because I expect something like Serendipity or Lie) But it really put me in different perspective after knowing more about the meaning of the song. I can appreciate it.
I connects with his all songs... It kind of reminds me of myself... Just like 'like crazy' i does things which can get me away from the things i dont want to remember... Also 'set me free pt 2' intrigue me more like it is saying what i want 'set me free' from those intoxicating memories
It's very common when you suddenly get so much of fame, money ,love you will also have a fear of losing it all one day then the pandemic didn't help either but they are strong have each other to depend on besides so much of family support. 😊
32:22 OMG that was so funny I was drinking coffee and almost choked from laughing so hard 😂😂 In my opinion, I think Jin is the most introverted of all, followed by Suga, Jungkook. When my mood is a little depressed, I never listen to depressive music, quite the opposite, I try to listen to music that takes me out of that state. and what has helped me the most is watching video compilations of Jin laughing, those videos are my serotonin 🤭Cheers to the ghost, thanks for the video Stay healthy and happy 💜💜💜
The meanings actually go even deeper... For example the titles of the songs are never IN the songs they are title for is always said in the song before or after, the only one that has the name inside is Set me free part 2, the end of the album. I love this album cause Jimin made it in a way we can think about heartbreaks without being about romantically exclusive (which I don't think he is talking about btw, I think he faced something about a friendship from his interviews😢), cause I for example can't relate to a romantic heartbreak 😅 even if I'm 30 now, but I can think of a ton of other reasons my heart felt heavy and that could made me go into the deepest oceans of pain. Im loving their solos projects but FACE is THAT album for me 😊💜🔥
It was mud on his hand. Did you notice it pouring out of the walls of the hallway? It's just symbolism/metaphor for being mired in a bad situation that you know isn't good for you but you're having trouble coping. Here's information on the text on his T-shirt. They never do anything without purpose. Acne Studios was founded in Stockholm in 1996 by creative director Jonny Johansson and executive chairman Mikael Schiller as a creative collective with a multidisciplinary approach, involving music, film, photography and fashion (Acne is the acronym for Ambition to Create Novel Expressions).
The oldest of BTS, Jin, is 31 years old. And the youngest is 26, globally speaking. Jin: it's from 1992; Suga: it's from 1993; Jhope: it's from 1994; RM: is from 1994; Jimin: it's from 1995; V: is from 1995; Jungkook: it's from 1997;
Thank you for this reaction. It seems that everyone has so many different explanations and theories on everything it's hard to really tell the message in a lot of BTS visuals in songs because they all have so many intertwined depictions, I think they do it on purpose so everyone from every walk of life sees themselves in some part of the visuals, and can relate. I personally listen to the person who writes the siong tell you it's meaning. But jimin to me uses so much art in his videos, he takes you so much deeper into that realm and before you know it you are learning about many different types of art and the why they chose the depth they did,..I love his whole album and listen to it everyday. Jimin has such a beautiful calming but emotional and clear voice that you get lost in it.
That’s one of the aesthetics about KPOP. Their physical albums are gorgeous. So fans buy them and they also include photo cards which fans tend to go crazy trying to collect them. Man on the right is correct though, everything is Bluetooth or an AUX cable in a car. Most of us KPOP fans don’t buy albums to listen to them. It’s just collecting and supporting.
Bookish theories had a great explanation for this song. Also, Jimins live version on Jimmy Fallon, you get to see the choreography, which is not in the video. The reason they were depressed and drinking was the pandemic. They just finished the map of the Soul 7 album that they worked so hard on and were going on a world tour, and everything was canceled. They did not know what to do, thinking it would not be long, but it ended up being two years before they could perform for a live audience again.
Random interesting fact, in recent years J-Hope has transitioned from being an extrovert to introvert (based on his MBTI test results). He's such an interesting character, and he's not just the group's clown what everyone sees him as. Next to that, SUGA, Jungkook and Jin are also introverts. But it's all relative and their personality results of MBTI have changed year by year.
@wild_sunflower the recent one is not reliable as it was just for fun bot real test Anyway you can be extroverted and have deep thoughts too or get sad as jhope mentioned I'm.not cheerful all the time
My car is 4 yrs old and doesnt have a cd player they mainly all use sat nav now so i listen to the boys on spotify but I own all the cds. Most of us treat them like collectors items lol. I even own all 4 versions of map of the soul 7. Jimin is a very touchy feely person and during the pandemic Im not sure how often the groups schedules met up as they often did things indivdually. The biggest introverts are Suga, Jin and believe it or not but Jungkook has also been labelled an introvert. Plus once they became super famous with that comes the problem of people only wanting to know you because of that and its made them more guarded in their interactions. Also drinking has a massive culture in Korea so it would be quite normal to drink in the evenings and there is a lot of drinking after work with workmates and this is an accepted thing and in some cases you it is almost compulsary.
When you mentioned about all the members supporting each i remembered what SUGA said, It will be great if i do well in my solo work, but it will be better if my brothers do better. [ Am paraphrasing ] JIN the oldest is 31yrs old in Dec and JUNGKOOK the youngest turns 26yrs in Sep
Here is a tiny bit of a rabbit-hole ... You were wondering what era the sound style of "Like Crazy" is from & it's basically all of the 1980's & maybe also early 1990's & late 1970's. You were spot on with Miami Vice, as the TV show's composer was Jan Hammer, famously known as a synthesizer aficionado. Other synth musicians of that time that composed with a similar sound as in "Like Crazy", whether synth-pop or synth-rock, include the Yazz (or Yazoo), OMD, Howard Jones, Thomas Dolby, Thompson Twins, Human League, Kraftwerk, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Flock of Seagulls, Jean Michel Jarre, etc. Some more rock bands also bought synths. Van Halen was of course famous for incorporating synths into some of their tracks, namely "Jump". I have listened to all of these bands in my youth, plus many more bands using synths. My favorite synth/electronic musician of all time is Vangelis (RIP), who has written some synth pop/rock but most of his work is symphonic (such as for movie music scores) but heavily electronic with some mix of traditional instruments. Note, Vangelis was in a rock band in the 1960's-70's ... look up & listen to "The Four Horsemen" by Aphrodite's Child. The Weeknd takes note of the 1980's synth craze & has used it as some parts of his music. In the modern era, there is a nostalgia of the '80's, thus if you listen to the EDM-subgenres of Synthwave, Chillwave, Future Synth, Retrowave, Dreamwave, Cyberpunk, etc, you will notice the similar sound. Even Synth Metal has some similar vibe to 80's synth. Music synthesizers were still in their infancy in the 1940's, 50's, 60's & 70's, most of the synths were clunky or huge, like the Moog modular synths, so by the time the synths got smaller & a bit more stable by the late 1970's, they got cheaper & faster to manufacture in volume production, thus many more bands got on the bandwagon & bought many synths by then, beginning with analog synths & eventually got to sampling & digital technology by the mid/late 1980's. Television & film scoring also got into using synths by then. Films that used synths & may have some sounds from "Like Crazy" may include Terminator (1984), The Thing (1982), Blade Runner (1982), Escape From New York (1981), Buckaroo Banzai (1984), Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), etc. It's all about the synth pads, synth percussion, sequencers & arpeggiated double-octave bass. Some famous synth brand manufacturers of the time include Moog, Yamaha, Roland, Linn, Korg, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits, E-Mu, Casio, Ensoniq, etc & they all contributed to that familiar sound & what you could possibly hear in "Like Crazy". And it definitely was a "crazy" exciting pioneering time as the synthesizer became a viral hit getting bought like crazy by many people. I still have all of my Keyboard Magazines from the mid 1980's, all the way to as recent as 2019, which by that time Keyboard Magazine already merged with Electronic Musician magazine. Hopefully when BTS returns, they could further revive 80's synth, as well as perhaps rock/metal. And a mix of it all in one song. You never know.
@@TripTipsPodcast ... No problem, I usually write that much or longer on RUclips comments, heh. Hmm, I wonder, if you haven't yet listened to the aforementioned "The Four Horsemen" rock song , perhaps you can also put that on your list of future reactions. That way you get to react to an old song (in this case, 1972) once in a while, rather than a new one. You can find it here on RUclips. You'll get to hear Vangelis a decade or so before he became famous for Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, & Cosmos (documentary).
The ghosts in the house want to watch too 😂😂, and i thought that alchohol made people happy, i'm only 20 and the rare times i got drunk i remember everything being funny,laugthing and dancing non stop, so i understand why people turn to that when they are down even if its not a good idea. love your réaction by the way. And i think soothing and soft vibes are what we were used to by Jimin in song like Promise or serendipity so thats why i lost my mind when i first heard set me free pt2 i was like who is this😅
Yes the ghost just wanted to be a part of the show and watch it with us 😂😂 When you’re young alcohol seems like a fun drug but as you get older you realize how toxic, addictive and dangerous it can become. I had my fair share of good and bad experiences with alcohol when I was younger. I’m much older and wiser now and choose to avoid alcohol completely as it does nothing positive in my life. But to each their own 👍
I kind of want to say...he mentioned that the music video has NOTHING to do with the song and that it's just an aesthetic video for people to enjoy. this was how he felt during the pandemic, everything was closed off and quarintine was brutal so there were no clubs and partying for him, it was sitting at home alone, in the dark, drinking his pain away, it numbed him and eventually he got lost in the feeling and it felt fun, it was a getaway. reality wasn't better than these drunken dreams so he wanted to stay in that dream for as long as he could then comes the waking up drunk and reality hits him and he's feeling pathetic because he questioned "what am i doing with my life right now? why am i feeling like this?" which he expresses in the song ALONE. It's a chronilogical album and very, just wow. Jimin is amazing at expressing himself through music because i felt every emotion and then some lol
Jimin’s FACE album is personal to him…to communicate to ARMY what he was feeling and going through doing the pandemic. His was the only solo project that was done without any featured artist. Jimin really felt that this was his story to tell and no one else.
Gostei muito da reação, bts é bem mas uma família do que apenas um grupo, se apoiam, incentivam, e comemoram suas conquistas individuais, sabe eles falam de cantarem juntos por muitos anos, e o jin ja falou do desejo de viajarem juntos quando estiverem aposentados.
I usually don't really enjoy Boracity's content, but this video was actually really good. Have nothing to add for the first time, LOL. I'm glad you enjoy Jimin's and BTS music. You should really check out the whole Face album, and listen to it in its chronological order 😊 P.S.: the writing on the shirt is just a brand name, doesn't mean anything... other than just perhaps a reference to the 80s.
Remember the fame and multiple death threads, they are heavily criticize if they are publicly date. Thierry contact although not enforce forbid them to date. Their body guard total crew is 300 for all 7 members
Jimin’s music is his experience through Covid. He went through a very hard time emotionally. On SUGA’s talk show, he said he was crazy during Covid. 80’s synth pop which with stands the tests of time. You can’t go wrong if you have the right voice. Suga used to be an introvert. He is not like that anymore. He just does what he likes. He has his talk show Suchwita, he goes out with friends. Suga has healed from the emotional wounds of the past that contributed to his social anxiety. August D was SUGA’s persona that led his journey of healing and growth. Daechwita, Haegum, Amygdala. We don’t know if he will record anymore as AgustD, because he has left the past behind him and he is not looking back. Watch your explanation video after you watch the videos and your reaction will be authentic. When reactors ask how many in the group, what are there names…..then I would say dude watch an introduction video, but I don’t recommend watching an explanation video before you actually watch the MV. That is no fun. Lyric video, live performance or MV, and explanation if needed. Lyric first so you can focus on the symbolism when you watch the MV. Explanation for meaning and understanding.
I really love your reactions and your opinions about their music and personalitys. When they talk about being lonely some of the members have mentioned that they find it really difficult to have a lot of friends and also to get new friends is really difficult. Other then the BTS members we most see them being with other k-pop Idols and V has a group of friends from the K-drama he acted in. I think its true what someone said that it can be really lonely on the top and as they is one of they biggest groups and artist ever i think this has a lot to do with them sometimes felling lonely and they have a really busy schedule so they haven't had much time to be with their friends. :)
I think when I was younger drinking felt like a ritual and it feels good for a bit, helps you release a bad day. Helps you transition out of reality, and then one drink too many and it’s depressing. I really liked it combined with going dancing in the 80’s. It’s not a problem, til it is. I’m glad that I outgrew it but it’s a huge part of being social and always has been I guess but you are right, a depressant.
I extra bought an CD player for my car to be able to listen to CDs and BTS was the one of reason for that. The Spotify sound is not good, an physically CD sounds so much better! And I also bought an record player again - back to the roots
While it's not an exhaustive answer, the BTS members have done the Myers-Briggs test several times, and most of them have in fact changed over time - as is quite normal for people to do when they grow, experience new things, etc. Jimin has consistently remained an extrovert, and is, as far as I know, the only member of the group to do so. RM started out as introvert but has scored as an extrovert on every test since then. J-Hope was an extrovert but landed on introvert during the most recent round of tests. And V was also an extrovert over time but has more recently been labeled as an introvert. The rest are consistently introvert.
Gosto muito de seus vídeos, realmente posso ver que se interessam pelo bts, vocês foram dos poucos reatores a notarem que eles eram muito jovens e estavam longe da família, o quanto isso deve ter sido duro, enquanto eram treine eles mantiam contato com a família por telefone e após debutar uma agenda cheia e sobrecarregada eles viam suas famílias uma, duas vezes ao ano, eles passaram por muitas dificuldades antes de debutarem juntos, o que fortaleceu o relacionamento deles acho que até mas que a convivência que era diária, eles também eram muito solitarios não tinham muitas amizade com outros artistas, e o jungkook recentemente falou que os integrantes do BTS eram muito mas sua família que a família de sangue.
Jin and Suga have already hit their 30s. Jin's birthday is December 4, 1992, while Suga birthday is March 9, 1993. J-Hope birthday is Feb 18, 1994. Jimin - October 13, 1995 V (Kim Taehyung) - Dec 30, 1995 Jungkook - Sept 1, 1997 In Korea, they have a Korean age system, they are usually a year older then their international age. In Korea, when a baby is born they are considered as one year old because they count the 9 months in the womb. Then every new year, they all turn a year older. They still do celebrate their actual birthdays, but to them it is more like a celebration of their life and for being born. Although now, the K-gov't already abolished that law just this year. So now they are already following the International age system.
Jimin is a very introspective person. While he is always there for others he tends to try to figure his problems out on his own. It was a breakthrough for him to actually share his depression with his members.
Appreciate your recognition of BTS's cheering for each other's success. They are special.
Very true
Thanks for watching
Get ready to get crazy with JIMIN!
About your question why would someone like Jimin, who's famous and loved by millions would feel so alone to the point of nearly breaking down.
Is actually quite simple. Unlike in the west were celebrities don't have much connection with their fans.
BTS is quite the opposite, cause they mostly spend their time and energy with their fans so it's inevitable that both parties would feel attached.
So when the pandemic happened, they were in a bad state. Like they couldn't comprehend what just happened.
In an interview in Suchwita, Suga & RM had talked about what they had felt at the start of pandemic.
RM said he literally went through all different stages of grief and Suga was pretty much in denial of what had happened.
They had prepared so much at that time for their tour cause it was supposed to be their biggest and last tour before enlisting.
But due to the pandemic everything they had prepared for were cancelled. So you can just imagine what they feel.
It's like their world has stopped, mind you it was the start of pandemic so everything was uncertain at that point, you can't even tell if it's end of the world, or would you be infected then die or still live? was there even a cure? lastly, would everything return to normal?
Those questions keeps looming in everyone's head. Imagine not meeting your friends and love ones for a very long time, you can't even go any activities outside and have fun because of the quarantine.
So to the majority of people the pandemic negative impacts their life.
Except of course, to the people like me who don't really go outside and doesn't have any friend.
Anyways, so for BTS, the Pandemic is pretty much a disaster considering they live most of their life creating music, having concerts and performing infront of millions of people. So the thought of not be able to perform ever again is terrifying to say the least.
J-Hope had elaborated in a BTS song called Dis-ease, that he felt so uneasy just 'resting' during pandemic cause it feels like he constantly need to do something in order to feel at ease.
RM then elaborated further in his verse "I'm ill, I'm work itself, I have a friend called "rest" , oh! I never liked him"
Which just shows BTS hard working mentality.
In another Suchwita episode, Suga confessed that he cried infront of his parents when it finally sunk to him that he probably won't be able to perform and work again which might negatively affect his entire future considering music is his life.
This also applies to Jimin cause performing with BTS is his life.
He can't comprehend who he is if he's not Jimin from BTS. So it's like facing an existential crisis. If there's no ARMY'S, no BTS, who is he?
Anyways he's like a fish in a fish bowl but whenever he's with BTS and performing infront of ARMY'S, it would feels like he's breathing and swimming freely in open seas.
So when the pandemic struck, he's no longer a fish in a fish bowl.
He's only an empty fish bowl cause the fish is already dead.
If you watch "Like Crazy" again, you'll notice in the first clips there's an 'empty fish bowl' right besides him when he's resting on the table. 26:38
Actually, everything in the 'Like Crazy' MV has meaning. The mud, the flickering of lights, the empty fish bowl, the blurry background, his outfit, the girl he faced in the bar, etc.
It has lots of symbolism even the lyrics itself like the part were he can't recognize himself facing the mirror and in the ending line: "I wanna stay in this dream, don't save me"
That line just hits different when you know his only dream is to stay with BTS for a long time.
And the reason why he didn't say "stay with BTS forever" is because he knows that's simply impossible, but despite so, to him if BTS is just a dream, he'd rather not wake up as implied in the lyrics.
He'd rather stay in the illusion (dream) and he doesn't wanna be saved.
Also, the reason why I think why he still feels alone despite having millions of fans who genuinely loves and adores him.
Is because Jimin has developed like an impostor syndrome were he can't comprehend that the fans truly loves him.
He knows for sure they love him for real, but in his mind the one they truly love is not him but the version of him they created. So technically it's not him.
@@rafaelsmith5737 this was awesome.
Thanks for the explanation 😊💜😊💜

Jimins is definitely my favorite solo project by bts so far, along with Jhope Jack In The Box 💜 so organic and feels really personal, 2 very different amazing albums! i miss jimin and jhope so much.

King of kpop Park Jimin
Jimin’s Face album moved me in so many different ways like millions of fans who appreciated this masterpiece & gave it overwhelming history making records! from the backstory to how it was performed by Jimin that made insurmountable connection to fans & netizens, Face is a hype and a stable daily jam from its release. Jimin is a music genius, a passionate perfectionist & a humble king! 👑 💜
Very true 💜😊💜😊
Soo true i love Wings and love yourself series but Face is now my all time fav its just personaly reflect me and made me move on really hard time during the time he released..now im bias wreak to Jimin listening to album daily each song is so addictive and “face off” is such a masterpiece jimin is a genius honestly convert those emotions,feeling into a bilboard no 1 song ..well not many people can do that
@@jinanjalisilva757 very true
You’re assessment of the boys personalities is understandable, given you’re only at the start of your journey learning about them; but as you come to really get to know them, Suga is actually quite extroverted and outspoken, as is RM. Of all of them, Jimin is the most shy and quiet around people he doesn’t know and is a very private person. Jin is the other one who may seem very extroverted as a public figure, and while not shy, he is very private in his personal life.
Since you mentioned JM’s singing voice, his voice in Like Crazy is what he’s the most famous for - extremely high, breathy, soft and delicate, yet powerful and crystal clear. He does, however, have a lower range, which he uses intermittently (like the first phrase in SMFP2), and in past BTS songs. In ‘real life’, his speaking voice is low and he has one of the most calm, comforting peaceful auras about him.
JIMIN best of best👑⭐️❤️🔥❤️😍
💜 👑 💜
I think a lot if not all the members’ depression, low mood and sense of helplessness came because they’d worked for an entire year writing music and getting ready to tour, had all the venues booked etc when the pandemic hit and everything had to be cancelled - ripped away from them. And they were left with nothing to show for all their hard work. That went on, as you know, for the better part of 2 years. And while BTS did their best to keep busy producing content for online distribution, as entertainers, they NEED a physical audience to feel complete. It’s no wonder they struggled. Hope this little bit of history helps.
Absolutely 👍 Thanks 😊
On Suchwita, Jimin talked with Yoongi (Suga) about how he went through a period of getting drunk and thinking he was having a good time, but the members never gave him grief for it - Yoongi said sometimes you just have to give the person space to reflect on it and not try to tell them to 'cheer up and get over it'... The members are very good at supporting each other and never making anyone feel like they are being judged.... Yoongi was reading Jimin's lyrics and one line basically said ' I was acting like a fool' so Yoongi said ' were you? ' , Jimin said' you should know' and Yoongi said ' I do' they laughed about it - the whole episode just reinforced how Army felt about the member's bond. When you said that they were 'loved by all' we only wish that was the case, unfortunately the group still get a load of hate from antis (non fans) and at times throughout their 10+years all of them have received more than their share of criticism... Army try everyday to let people see just how humble BTS are even though they are extremely talented people. I remember one incident back when they hadn't long debuted, RM being the only English speaking member at the time, translated a lot of the hate comments directed at the others into English but changed them to positive remarks so that his brothers wouldn't feel hurt. That's our leader and that's BTS... and why we continue to support and love them 💜Borahae💜
This well said and beautifully written
Jimin's vocals are insane beautiful
Agreed
What attracts me about Jimin is not only his amazing vocals and dances but also his personality that he is always sincere and thoughtful. His first album tells us what he's been through during lockdown and it touched many of his fans. I love him so much and want to hear more story about him with his angelic voice. Thank you for reviewing the video about Jimin! 💛💜
Anytime 💜🔥
Jimin for me is the best artist of this generation, he maximized his skills in this album which absolutely stuns me how amazing it is and for me FACE is the best album by far in decades, Jimin is my favorite artist and I have never been disappointed, I am proud to follow this true artist.
One of the biggest issues Jimin faced was not performing in front of Army amd just doing lots of recorded material. He loves performing on stage and repeatedly said this over the pandemic. Apart from this video Jimin has spoken a lot about his album, particularly on Suchwita with Suga and on his Weverse Live he did expaining about the process. There is enough of Jimin's own explanations in different places to not need to theorise... articles and interviews all piece together what Jimin was really feeling and going through. Thanks for the reaction. This album is extraordinary given the issues with Billboard rule changing so Like Crazy couldn't stay at no.1, lack if radio play. The hidden track and lack of tracks meant it didn’t count in some countries charts such as the UK. Jimin was going to release the tracks /album as free on Soundcloud too so the fact it has broken so many records and been so successful is testament to Jimin and his team.
Thanks for the info 👍😊👍😊
Boracity magazine did a great job summarizing thr album which helps everyone understand the direction Jimin took. So proud of him for being open and taking artistic risks that paid off
👍💜👍💜
This explanation broke it down easier and beautifully.
@@josefinargutierrez1989 I agree 100%
Bora who ???
Jimin is amazing
Facts🔥
I've always said I think that's why a lot of western groups end up disbanding is because they want to explore their own creativity as a soloist and that's a lot harder when you are in a group. It's not wrong to want to be a soloist but I feel like a lot of groups were done with the intention that it was not going to be forever, that at some point they would all go solo but being in a group is good launching pad for that intention. And you're right BTS don't get a big ego or jealous of the others, they truly look at each other's solo success as a success for BTS as a whole, not just a personal success. I remember Jungkook being on a show awhile back with a member of Shinhwa (a kpop group that is still together with the original members 25 years later). And he told Jungkook their individual accomplishments shouldn't only be looked at as personal accomplishments but accomplishments for the entire group. In some ways it's kind of like being married in my opinion. I remember when I first discovered BTS and I was shocked to discover they all had solo songs on BTS albums, not 1 or 2 members only but all 7 members and that they actually get to perform as soloists during their tours too. It really lets them all shine on their own and are able to share more of who they are as individuals which I think most artists need to do. There isn't 1 main star of the group and the others are just background vocals, they all have something special that can't be done by another member. They are truly family at this point that even if god forbid they end up not performing together they would still be in each other's lives.
Well said thank you 😊💜😊💜
Aaahh...listening to sad music when you feel depressed is like a catharsis! It actually makes you feel better! if you fully devote yourself to your grief.and sadness, you are sort of "cleansed" afterwards, you are free from it. But If you deny yourself to feel sad, you will carry that sadness deep inside unhandled.... Anyway, that is how I work!
That actually makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. Kinda like facing your fears just slightly different.
Great way to look at it
Jimin the king ❤

Thank you for your reaction, I enjoy watching the explantion videos with you.
In a recent interiew with L.A. Times, Suga was asked if he was jealous if his bandmates song did better than his. This was his response. “Are you competitive with your family members? Do you get jealous if your brother or your sister does well?” he asked with a laugh during a Zoom interview (Suga spoke through a Korean translator). “We’re real brothers, period. If I do well, that’s good. If my family members do well, that’s even better.”
I was going to add the same quote
What a good guy.💜
Kpop cds have a huge market due to the collecting value. Many fans purchase cd players specifically due to this and the cds come with photo cards, posters, tiny gifts and collectable items as well. Unlike western artists who just give a plastic case with a booklet. U get so much great stuff for ur money.
That’s really cool. Keeping it old school.
♦Jimin mentioned that one of his fav movies “Like Crazy” inspired parts of the song aside from the title of song. In the beginning as well as ending to the song, he even uses excerpt wordings from it. Jimin has also said that many of the songs on the album convey what he was going through, his thoughts, his feelings, his emotions as well as despair & depression, during the pandemic in the last few yrs. He also was hoping that maybe it could help others by way of relating & going through similar difficulties during pandemic. So this song Like Crazy, could also be during that time, thinking back while laying his head down, on table in that depressing small room, dreaming of the better times in the past, when he was free to enjoy himself, as well as being with someone or with friends, or even around ppl in general, being able to be free to go out & party. Which is why he even said in the lyrics please don’t wake me up from this dream. I want to stay here.. Maybe, since dirt or mud means despair, that was what all the dirty grimyness including on his hands in the end, also represented, despair of situation, how he felt or how things were at that time, even when it seemed to even ooze into his dream state.
Jimin crea obras de arte sus canciones son muy increíble la verdad 👑😍
JIMIN said when his dad listened to his EP that his dad cried Jimin asked his dad why did you cry and his father said because the songs were sad but I'm pretty sure he told his father he was better now.
As a parent myself that would be hard to listen to
My absolute favorite song ever ☺️☺️ its addictive

You should get into suga's show suchwita where the members are guests too each one explains their solo stuff and talk about the process too
Boa recomendação
👍 good idea
Yes please watch suchwita too it's really good
@@Hbora0613 ok 👍
Did I say this already? For me, I like to watch the first time with no English subs or background info. I can just get absorbed into the singing, dancing, the video itself..I watch it straight through and don't try to analyze every little thing.
I just enjoy.
The second time- English subtitles.
Their Story Videos/Rap videos generally have a deeper meaning, with rhyming in English /Korean, cultural references, etc as you found out. I need to focus.
The third time, the explanation video if there is one.
Then I can say, "Oh, so that's why the door was open.." If I watch the explanation video first, I would be asking, ."what door? what bell?..."
Then I may go back and watch it again- with all the information.
Don't worry...some of their videos require 2 or 3 viewings..Sometimes we (English speakers), still aren't quite sure of the Korean translation. For particular videos we can watch 7 times and still discover something new...thanks to the rap line's (mostly) brilliant writing.
That's why BTS is so fascinating!
Anyway, that's just me.
PS Some reacters watch the first time half reading the English subs, (with pauses.) Then watch the explanation right after,. in the same reaction. It takes a bit longer, but we don't mind, it gives a complete picture of the song.
💜💜💜
No doubt Jimin legend now
I still listen to the music on my CD player, I have a good one at home 🤭. A lot of Army buy the CD album just for helping the boys and collecting photocards, because BTS CD albums are like Christmas gift ! with a lot of photocard, photobook, note book and suprise stuff insides, and only listen to digital album. For me me (and a lot of "silver" Army or not so young Army 😉) , i really enjoy listen to BTS CD when I drive my car every day on the way to my work, or at home, the sunday morning... CD's are part of my daily routine with music, besides digital and streams...
and Face is one of my favorite album ever ! Short, but a little jewel. (who said like Jimin himself ??? Not me 🙃)
Omg I haven’t heard anyone say CD player in years. You my friend are a legend. Keeping it old school. I love it 💜🔥
Wow that’s awesome
I can’t remember the last time I used a CD it’s been so long. Cool that you do that to help support them.

Suga is the most introverted member in the group. Jungkook and Jin are also introverted. The rest are either extroverts or ambiverts.
Interesting 🤔
Yes. Jin seems extroverted but it takes great energy for him to switch to that side of himself. He’s most comfortable playing video games at home 😊

updated Jimin info that some aren't aware of:
❣JIMIN, born October 13, 1995, at age 11, started studying, performing, & competing (winning every competition), in hip hop, popping (excelled), & street dancing, while attending the renowned Just Dance Academy in Busan where he's from! He was so good that an instructor even had the high tuition fee waived at one point! This was while also attending middle school, where he loved sports, being quite athletic, joined the football team, excellent at track, great at basketball, & billiards! Jimin also, all throughout his schooling, was known as a top scholar, achieving perfect scores, especially in math & science which just always came easy to him! Jimin was even class president for 9 yrs in a row! Jimin, all throughout his schooling, was also quite good in art class, as well as calligraphy.
Jimin, then also took up contemporary dance. The media, after seeing a performance of Jimin's performing at a huge Busan Festival Event, called Jimin "The rising star of Busan"!! JIMIN also studied ballet & traditional Korean dance while attending Busan High School of the Arts. Jimin still went to Just Dance Academy to take hip hop classes whenever he could because his first love has always been hip hop, even though he was now majoring in contemporary! JIMIN even had an offer to dance overseas, but declined because he also wanted to become a singer since the 2nd grade, to the dismay of one of his dance instructors who said "The world of dance was going to lose a great artist"!!
So Jimin then went and auditioned for BigHit Entertainment, (company BTS is signed with), being the very last member to join, being a trainee for only a few months (which is unheard of for most Kpop idols), as opposed to the 2-3 yrs of being a trainee the other members had! But Jimin was so good that he was assigned the official title of one of the two Main Dancers, as well as Lead Vocalist. Jimin was even assigned most of the high notes since the very beginning, because even without all that training in the beginning, he was that good, a natural born singer who, just like his dancing makes you feel every emotion and feeling he's trying to convey!
JIMIN, also, for 8 yrs, since a quite young boy, trained in various forms (4), of martial arts: Taekwondo (Blackbelt), Hapkido, Kumdo (Korean form of Kendo), & Chinese martial arts. He even won a scholarship, the only student to do so, to study more extensively in China for awhile! All the martial arts training has given JIMIN his phenomenal inner core strength, as well as his amazing flexibility, which has enabled Jimin to achieve all those breathtakingly spectacular gravity defying dance moves! JIMIN has found a way to incorporate all his various dance disciplines, as well as his extensive training in martial arts into his unique, ever so special, outstandingly amazing dancing abilities!!
JIMIN, has been called 'Stage Commander', known for his amazing, so mesmerizing stage presence. Each dance move is executed flawlessly, his extensions all the way to the fingertips, his lines so clean, his fluidity, his poise & elegance, his ever so graceful moves, but yet, sharp, quick & deliberate when required! He focuses on every detail! Known for his work ethics and being a perfectionist to a fault, spending hours in the practice room, will study every move, even focusing on hands to fingertips. Even his facial expressions, or the look in his eyes! Every single detail he focuses on. Jimin tends to take in the music and interprets all the emotion & feelings, whatever it's trying to convey through his body movements as well as his vocals.
JIMIN has won the prestigious titles for 4 yrs in a row, for KING OF KPOP, as well as also winning BEST TOP #1 DANCER IN KPOP, now an amazing 5 yrs in a row!! Jimin is also referred to as "Rookie's Bible" because all rookie idols, try to emulate & study every move he makes, trying to learn from him! Aside from all that Jimin has won other countless award, broken many records. His many solo songs: ‘Lie’, ‘Serendipity’, ‘Filter’, ‘Promise’, ‘Christmas Love’, including collabs: Jimin's OST ‘With You’. Jimin’s song “Friends” he wrote, composed & helped produce, which ft. V, was also in Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’! Jimin also did a collab w/Taeyang ‘Vibe’, have all broken charting records worldwide, as well as being top seller, plus most listened to. Jimin is also featured in songs for Fast & Furious movie ‘Fast X’ in collab songs “Angel Pt.1” as well as “Angel Pt.2”.
Now the same is happening with Jimin’s first solo released album “FACE” along with main title song “Like Crazy” as well as pre-realeased “Set Me Free Pt.2”m which has now hit 100M views. All other songs equally amazing Including “Face-Off” & “Alone”, & hidden track, “Letter”, Jimin’s ‘Like Crazy’ Debuted Atop Billboard Hot 100, First Solo No. 1 for a BTS Member. Songs are still topping charts in no less the 119 countries. The song also makes Jimin the first South Korean soloist in history to top the Hot 100. 🎉🎉 Also, "FACE" by Jimin debuts at #2 on Billboard 200 Album Chart. Jimin holds the record as the First Korean and K-Pop Soloist to achieve this feat in Billboard 200 history!
Jimin continues to thrive in BTS' solo era following his official solo debut, that has propelled Jimin to make three new major Spotify records, to solidify his legacy as the most successful Korean solo artist in history, just two months into his solo career.

It took him 393 days to achieve these numbers, breaking the previous record of 409 days. Jimin has now surpassed TWO BILLION streams across all credits on Spotify (profile and solo songs) 🥳🎉
Jimin has now also become the Global Ambassador for both Dior as well as Global Ambassador for Tiffany & Co.! Jimin also is breaking records for being #1 branding marketing idol, every single month for over 4 yrs, a feat never achieved before, and still ongoing! The term the "Jimin Effect" is now in the Urban Dictionary! So much more as well but will stop here.
Wow this is incredible 🤩
Thanks for the detailed explanation and breakdown. You could write a book on his life. You know so much detailed information it’s amazing 💜😊💜😊
Wow 🤩

Волшебный, неповторимый Чимин ❤👏👏👏
I honestly did not know the song has such a deep meaning because even though Jimin is my favourite member in BTS, I didn't really into his solo songs this time. (not because it was bad, its just not my taste of music probably because I expect something like Serendipity or Lie) But it really put me in different perspective after knowing more about the meaning of the song. I can appreciate it.
If you put in one room Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth and Jimin let them a sing a song his unique voice will stand out.
I connects with his all songs... It kind of reminds me of myself... Just like 'like crazy' i does things which can get me away from the things i dont want to remember...
Also 'set me free pt 2' intrigue me more like it is saying what i want 'set me free' from those intoxicating memories
Thanks for letting us know
It's very common when you suddenly get so much of fame, money ,love you will also have a fear of losing it all one day then the pandemic didn't help either but they are strong have each other to depend on besides so much of family support. 😊
Yes very true
I love the Fallon live performance, the dancing just really pops in that one for me
32:22 OMG that was so funny I was drinking coffee and almost choked from laughing so hard 😂😂
In my opinion, I think Jin is the most introverted of all, followed by Suga, Jungkook. When my mood is a little depressed, I never listen to depressive music, quite the opposite, I try to listen to music that takes me out of that state. and what has helped me the most is watching video compilations of Jin laughing, those videos are my serotonin 🤭Cheers to the ghost, thanks for the video Stay healthy and happy 💜💜💜
bwhahaha...so funny! 💜💜
The meanings actually go even deeper... For example the titles of the songs are never IN the songs they are title for is always said in the song before or after, the only one that has the name inside is Set me free part 2, the end of the album.
I love this album cause Jimin made it in a way we can think about heartbreaks without being about romantically exclusive (which I don't think he is talking about btw, I think he faced something about a friendship from his interviews😢), cause I for example can't relate to a romantic heartbreak 😅 even if I'm 30 now, but I can think of a ton of other reasons my heart felt heavy and that could made me go into the deepest oceans of pain. Im loving their solos projects but FACE is THAT album for me 😊💜🔥
I’m feeling the same way about the FACE album💜💜
It was mud on his hand. Did you notice it pouring out of the walls of the hallway? It's just symbolism/metaphor for being mired in a bad situation that you know isn't good for you but you're having trouble coping.
Here's information on the text on his T-shirt. They never do anything without purpose.
Acne Studios was founded in Stockholm in 1996 by creative director Jonny Johansson and executive chairman Mikael Schiller as a creative collective with a multidisciplinary approach, involving music, film, photography and fashion (Acne is the acronym for Ambition to Create Novel Expressions).
Great information 👍👍
Thanks for sharing 😊💜😊💜
The oldest of BTS, Jin, is 31 years old. And the youngest is 26, globally speaking. Jin: it's from 1992; Suga: it's from 1993; Jhope: it's from 1994; RM: is from 1994; Jimin: it's from 1995; V: is from 1995; Jungkook: it's from 1997;
They'll be 26 and 31 very soon, but they're not as I post this. JK's birthday is in September, Jin's is in December.
Thank you for this reaction. It seems that everyone has so many different explanations and theories on everything it's hard to really tell the message in a lot of BTS visuals in songs because they all have so many intertwined depictions, I think they do it on purpose so everyone from every walk of life sees themselves in some part of the visuals, and can relate. I personally listen to the person who writes the siong tell you it's meaning. But jimin to me uses so much art in his videos, he takes you so much deeper into that realm and before you know it you are learning about many different types of art and the why they chose the depth they did,..I love his whole album and listen to it everyday. Jimin has such a beautiful calming but emotional and clear voice that you get lost in it.
Jimin a voice is amazing
Very true
Чимин самый лучший в мире!!!
That’s one of the aesthetics about KPOP. Their physical albums are gorgeous. So fans buy them and they also include photo cards which fans tend to go crazy trying to collect them. Man on the right is correct though, everything is Bluetooth or an AUX cable in a car. Most of us KPOP fans don’t buy albums to listen to them. It’s just collecting and supporting.
It’s like a work of art
Bookish theories had a great explanation for this song. Also, Jimins live version on Jimmy Fallon, you get to see the choreography, which is not in the video. The reason they were depressed and drinking was the pandemic. They just finished the map of the Soul 7 album that they worked so hard on and were going on a world tour, and everything was canceled. They did not know what to do, thinking it would not be long, but it ended up being two years before they could perform for a live audience again.
Yeah I’m sure that was a tough time for them
Yea that’s sad. All the hard work they did came to a stop 😢
Чимин завораживает!
I definitely thought I could imagine this song playing in a club on Miami Vice - LOL!
For sure
Random interesting fact, in recent years J-Hope has transitioned from being an extrovert to introvert (based on his MBTI test results). He's such an interesting character, and he's not just the group's clown what everyone sees him as.
Next to that, SUGA, Jungkook and Jin are also introverts. But it's all relative and their personality results of MBTI have changed year by year.
That is interesting 🤔
In their recent mbti video Rm was the only extroverted one in the group.
@wild_sunflower the recent one is not reliable as it was just for fun bot real test
Anyway you can be extroverted and have deep thoughts too or get sad as jhope mentioned I'm.not cheerful all the time
@@TripTipsPodcast Jimin has become an introvert too, he was pretty much an extrovert before but now I think only RM is the only extrovert in the group
@@BtsyearJK2025 True
JIMIN ES LO MAXIMO DE BTS..ES TAN MAGICO BAILA Y CANTA COMO LOS DIOCES
.NO HAY EDAD PARA AMARLO Y QUERERLO SI ES UNA MONADA NUESTRO REY....CHILE😊😊
Спасибо за реакцию на Чимина! Сольный альбом ,лучший !❤❤❤ Хотелось бы , чтоб вы просмотрели " Ложь" Чимина, она автобиагрофична, и великолепна ! 🙏🏻
Jimin legendary singer. Jimin voice🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥💜
My car is 4 yrs old and doesnt have a cd player they mainly all use sat nav now so i listen to the boys on spotify but I own all the cds. Most of us treat them like collectors items lol. I even own all 4 versions of map of the soul 7. Jimin is a very touchy feely person and during the pandemic Im not sure how often the groups schedules met up as they often did things indivdually. The biggest introverts are Suga, Jin and believe it or not but Jungkook has also been labelled an introvert. Plus once they became super famous with that comes the problem of people only wanting to know you because of that and its made them more guarded in their interactions. Also drinking has a massive culture in Korea so it would be quite normal to drink in the evenings and there is a lot of drinking after work with workmates and this is an accepted thing and in some cases you it is almost compulsary.
Yea it’s a habit after a while
Una verdadera obra maestra. Jimin es talento puro
Agreed🤩💜🔥
Yes, Miami Vice! I agree.
Love boracity magzine vid essays..she is amazing
Agree 100%
When you mentioned about all the members supporting each i remembered what SUGA said, It will be great if i do well in my solo work, but it will be better if my brothers do better. [ Am paraphrasing ] JIN the oldest is 31yrs old in Dec and JUNGKOOK the youngest turns 26yrs in Sep
Love their support for each other
Here is a tiny bit of a rabbit-hole ... You were wondering what era the sound style of "Like Crazy" is from & it's basically all of the 1980's & maybe also early 1990's & late 1970's. You were spot on with Miami Vice, as the TV show's composer was Jan Hammer, famously known as a synthesizer aficionado. Other synth musicians of that time that composed with a similar sound as in "Like Crazy", whether synth-pop or synth-rock, include the Yazz (or Yazoo), OMD, Howard Jones, Thomas Dolby, Thompson Twins, Human League, Kraftwerk, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Flock of Seagulls, Jean Michel Jarre, etc. Some more rock bands also bought synths. Van Halen was of course famous for incorporating synths into some of their tracks, namely "Jump". I have listened to all of these bands in my youth, plus many more bands using synths. My favorite synth/electronic musician of all time is Vangelis (RIP), who has written some synth pop/rock but most of his work is symphonic (such as for movie music scores) but heavily electronic with some mix of traditional instruments. Note, Vangelis was in a rock band in the 1960's-70's ... look up & listen to "The Four Horsemen" by Aphrodite's Child. The Weeknd takes note of the 1980's synth craze & has used it as some parts of his music. In the modern era, there is a nostalgia of the '80's, thus if you listen to the EDM-subgenres of Synthwave, Chillwave, Future Synth, Retrowave, Dreamwave, Cyberpunk, etc, you will notice the similar sound. Even Synth Metal has some similar vibe to 80's synth. Music synthesizers were still in their infancy in the 1940's, 50's, 60's & 70's, most of the synths were clunky or huge, like the Moog modular synths, so by the time the synths got smaller & a bit more stable by the late 1970's, they got cheaper & faster to manufacture in volume production, thus many more bands got on the bandwagon & bought many synths by then, beginning with analog synths & eventually got to sampling & digital technology by the mid/late 1980's. Television & film scoring also got into using synths by then. Films that used synths & may have some sounds from "Like Crazy" may include Terminator (1984), The Thing (1982), Blade Runner (1982), Escape From New York (1981), Buckaroo Banzai (1984), Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), etc. It's all about the synth pads, synth percussion, sequencers & arpeggiated double-octave bass. Some famous synth brand manufacturers of the time include Moog, Yamaha, Roland, Linn, Korg, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits, E-Mu, Casio, Ensoniq, etc & they all contributed to that familiar sound & what you could possibly hear in "Like Crazy". And it definitely was a "crazy" exciting pioneering time as the synthesizer became a viral hit getting bought like crazy by many people. I still have all of my Keyboard Magazines from the mid 1980's, all the way to as recent as 2019, which by that time Keyboard Magazine already merged with Electronic Musician magazine. Hopefully when BTS returns, they could further revive 80's synth, as well as perhaps rock/metal. And a mix of it all in one song. You never know.
Wow this was an amazing history lesson 🤩 thank you so much for taking time write all of this for us. It’s much appreciated 👍👍
@@TripTipsPodcast ... No problem, I usually write that much or longer on RUclips comments, heh. Hmm, I wonder, if you haven't yet listened to the aforementioned "The Four Horsemen" rock song , perhaps you can also put that on your list of future reactions. That way you get to react to an old song (in this case, 1972) once in a while, rather than a new one. You can find it here on RUclips. You'll get to hear Vangelis a decade or so before he became famous for Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, & Cosmos (documentary).

Yeah we can check it out
#JIMIN #JIMIN
The ghosts in the house want to watch too 😂😂, and i thought that alchohol made people happy, i'm only 20 and the rare times i got drunk i remember everything being funny,laugthing and dancing non stop, so i understand why people turn to that when they are down even if its not a good idea. love your réaction by the way. And i think soothing and soft vibes are what we were used to by Jimin in song like Promise or serendipity so thats why i lost my mind when i first heard set me free pt2 i was like who is this😅
Yes the ghost just wanted to be a part of the show and watch it with us 😂😂
When you’re young alcohol seems like a fun drug but as you get older you realize how toxic, addictive and dangerous it can become. I had my fair share of good and bad experiences with alcohol when I was younger. I’m much older and wiser now and choose to avoid alcohol completely as it does nothing positive in my life.
But to each their own 👍
@@TripTipsPodcastWise words 💜
He is very deep😭😭😭
I kind of want to say...he mentioned that the music video has NOTHING to do with the song and that it's just an aesthetic video for people to enjoy. this was how he felt during the pandemic, everything was closed off and quarintine was brutal so there were no clubs and partying for him, it was sitting at home alone, in the dark, drinking his pain away, it numbed him and eventually he got lost in the feeling and it felt fun, it was a getaway. reality wasn't better than these drunken dreams so he wanted to stay in that dream for as long as he could
then comes the waking up drunk and reality hits him and he's feeling pathetic because he questioned "what am i doing with my life right now? why am i feeling like this?" which he expresses in the song ALONE. It's a chronilogical album and very, just wow. Jimin is amazing at expressing himself through music because i felt every emotion and then some lol
Thank you so much for your explanation and breakdown of the song
Jimin’s FACE album is personal to him…to communicate to ARMY what he was feeling and going through doing the pandemic. His was the only solo project that was done without any featured artist. Jimin really felt that this was his story to tell and no one else.
That’s pretty cool thanks for sharing 👍💜👍💜
Gostei muito da reação, bts é bem mas uma família do que apenas um grupo, se apoiam, incentivam, e comemoram suas conquistas individuais, sabe eles falam de cantarem juntos por muitos anos, e o jin ja falou do desejo de viajarem juntos quando estiverem aposentados.
Thank you!
I usually don't really enjoy Boracity's content, but this video was actually really good. Have nothing to add for the first time, LOL. I'm glad you enjoy Jimin's and BTS music. You should really check out the whole Face album, and listen to it in its chronological order 😊
P.S.: the writing on the shirt is just a brand name, doesn't mean anything... other than just perhaps a reference to the 80s.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 😊👍😊💜
Remember the fame and multiple death threads, they are heavily criticize if they are publicly date. Thierry contact although not enforce forbid them to date. Their body guard total crew is 300 for all 7 members
Oh ok.
지민. 😅🎉❤
Love you jimin 💜
I loved this reaction. So good. ❤
Thank you so much!!💜💜💜
Thanks 😊
Jimin’s music is his experience through Covid. He went through a very hard time emotionally. On SUGA’s talk show, he said he was crazy during Covid. 80’s synth pop which with stands the tests of time. You can’t go wrong if you have the right voice.
Suga used to be an introvert. He is not like that anymore. He just does what he likes. He has his talk show Suchwita, he goes out with friends. Suga has healed from the emotional wounds of the past that contributed to his social anxiety. August D was SUGA’s persona that led his journey of healing and growth. Daechwita, Haegum, Amygdala. We don’t know if he will record anymore as AgustD, because he has left the past behind him and he is not looking back.
Watch your explanation video after you watch the videos and your reaction will be authentic.
When reactors ask how many in the group, what are there names…..then I would say dude watch an introduction video, but I don’t recommend watching an explanation video before you actually watch the MV. That is no fun. Lyric video, live performance or MV, and explanation if needed. Lyric first so you can focus on the symbolism when you watch the MV. Explanation for meaning and understanding.
Ok thanks we will watch MV first then do explainer second
I really love your reactions and your opinions about their music and personalitys.
When they talk about being lonely some of the members have mentioned that they find it really difficult to have a lot of friends and also to get new friends is really difficult. Other then the BTS members we most see them being with other k-pop Idols and V has a group of friends from the K-drama he acted in. I think its true what someone said that it can be really lonely on the top and as they is one of they biggest groups and artist ever i think this has a lot to do with them sometimes felling lonely and they have a really busy schedule so they haven't had much time to be with their friends. :)
You can always get an external disc drive if you need one for some reason.
Jimin es increíble 💜 en todos sus aspectos
Agreed
I really enjoyed your conversations around this video. It is very much how my friends and I would watch something like this together. Thanks so much ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️
Yes everybody said that remind them weekend Vibe 😊
Glad I’m not the only one
I think when I was younger drinking felt like a ritual and it feels good for a bit, helps you release a bad day. Helps you transition out of reality, and then one drink too many and it’s depressing. I really liked it combined with going dancing in the 80’s. It’s not a problem, til it is. I’m glad that I outgrew it but it’s a huge part of being social and always has been I guess but you are right, a depressant.
Yea I loved it when I was younger. Now I just feel terrible when I wake up.
I bought a CD Player for Face
Bring more boracity💜
You got it 👍🔥💜
Jimin IS very Shy and he's not very présent on media , he's very discret and hé was very depressed in pandémic years 🇨🇵
Yea it Seems that way
I extra bought an CD player for my car to be able to listen to CDs and BTS was the one of reason for that. The Spotify sound is not good, an physically CD sounds so much better! And I also bought an record player again - back to the roots
That’s awesome 🤩
Love to see your reactions! 🥰
More to come! Thank you 🙏
We Miss you jimin 😢 you are Best 🔥❤❤
💜💜💜
While it's not an exhaustive answer, the BTS members have done the Myers-Briggs test several times, and most of them have in fact changed over time - as is quite normal for people to do when they grow, experience new things, etc.
Jimin has consistently remained an extrovert, and is, as far as I know, the only member of the group to do so.
RM started out as introvert but has scored as an extrovert on every test since then.
J-Hope was an extrovert but landed on introvert during the most recent round of tests.
And V was also an extrovert over time but has more recently been labeled as an introvert.
The rest are consistently introvert.
They are like me
Чимин супер 👏👏👏
💯🔥
Im watching this at night and the ghost part actually got me 😮😅 I’m a scardy cat 😂 thanks for the reaction!
Lmao. I swear it touches my leg and sits on my bed at night. It’s so sketchy lol.
@@TripTipsPodcast 🫣😧
Gosto muito de seus vídeos, realmente posso ver que se interessam pelo bts, vocês foram dos poucos reatores a notarem que eles eram muito jovens e estavam longe da família, o quanto isso deve ter sido duro, enquanto eram treine eles mantiam contato com a família por telefone e após debutar uma agenda cheia e sobrecarregada eles viam suas famílias uma, duas vezes ao ano, eles passaram por muitas dificuldades antes de debutarem juntos, o que fortaleceu o relacionamento deles acho que até mas que a convivência que era diária, eles também eram muito solitarios não tinham muitas amizade com outros artistas, e o jungkook recentemente falou que os integrantes do BTS eram muito mas sua família que a família de sangue.
That’s sad. So glad they have each other
Jin and Suga have already hit their 30s. Jin's birthday is December 4, 1992, while Suga birthday is March 9, 1993.
J-Hope birthday is Feb 18, 1994.
Jimin - October 13, 1995
V (Kim Taehyung) - Dec 30, 1995
Jungkook - Sept 1, 1997
In Korea, they have a Korean age system, they are usually a year older then their international age. In Korea, when a baby is born they are considered as one year old because they count the 9 months in the womb. Then every new year, they all turn a year older. They still do celebrate their actual birthdays, but to them it is more like a celebration of their life and for being born. Although now, the K-gov't already abolished that law just this year. So now they are already following the International age system.
Thanks for the information and clarification 👍😊👍😊
I love it 😍😍 thanks for your reacrion🙏
Glad you liked it 😊💜😊💜
More boracity please
On it!👍🔥💜
React to the other songs on the album, please ❤
I'd love you to listen to Letter from the album, it is Jimin singing in his softest voice, beautiful.

Jimin could also be on the spectrum between man and woman we dont know but it is something he has hinted at before.
Interesting
