"their shadows, does that not look like wings?" I never noticed that detail before and it gave me chills. What's actually interesting is the fact that they do have an album called Wings and some short teaser clips (that are really interesting to look at) that came prior to the release and all of them contribute to their BU story
They have used their staff as actors. They used cars of their managers most of the props are arranged by staff members. RM said it was supposed to be I need you friend but it didn't sounded good so he choose girl instead of friend. they are suffering when they are alone but happy when they are together.
"some sort of a story" me: laughs in bts cinematic universe all jokes aside I love your analysis and your thoughts are really interesting to hear as someone who is looking to get into video editing and cinematography
I know I laughed too, people who watch I Need U have no idea that is the beginning of the long complicated storyline that is still continuing today 6 years later.
*BTS cinematic universe* that's perfect. When I fell into the BTS trap, I didn't understand why the videos were just so freaking amazing but now I see as time goes on that it was done like that on purpose.
this mv is part of the bts universe, their storyline. there's a lot of mvs that are included in the storyline so it might seem confusing but once you know it it'll all fall into place. xceleste made a great video to explain it
This is the order I NEED U MV (19+ version… the censored version cuts out a lot of the storyline) On Stage: Prologue VCR Run MV Epilogue: Young Forever MV WINGS short films (These are critical! Make sure to find versions with English subtitles!) Blood Sweat & Tears MV Love Yourself Highlight Reel Spring Day
@@denisa0685 ok, but don't forget the tweets, The Notes, the VCR from their concerts, the Smeraldo Blog, the album photoshoot and posters, the live performances, the game BTS World, the books... did I forget something? Just to say, you need to get through all of this to get the story. If you watch only music videos, you won't understand anything.
There's actually a story being told in their music videos. You should definitely look into it because it's very poetic and beautiful. They have highlight reels which sort of continue the story without the music but it's all very pretty. I feel that you can sort of see them beginning to get money and gain popularity in these videos and progress to where they are now. So I'd suggest going in order of release if you're interested in looking into it
One of their PD said in the interview (forgot the title) that BTS mv has never been cheap. It always high in quality and price even since their first mv. Bang PD always want the quality. Even use the pds car or wht, still the budget never be cheap.
I think they tried to produce good quality mv with their very limited resources and low budget during the earlier days. This shows how passionate and professional Big Hit and BTS were about their crafts and music. Of course, now that they have the financial abilities, they produced even better quality and creative mv.
I suggest reacting to their very first MV back in 2013 just to see the process of evolution of a legendary group. BTS is actually a very complicated group, like they'll be singing the most upbeat song paired with body rolls and fearsness but the song is actually about depression. Yeah things like that.
You should probably watch BTS storyline by Xceleste. You'll understand what is happening, they would go into a series of hardships, there is also a webtoon or comic called Save Me. MVs related to the BU are Run, Danger, Stigma, Euphoria, Fake love, etc. There are also short flims which kinda make it more interesting.
I NEED U MV (19+ version… the censored version cuts out a lot of the storyline) On Stage: Prologue VCR Run MV Epilogue: Young Forever MV WINGS short films (These are critical! Make sure to find versions with English subtitles!) Blood Sweat & Tears MV Love Yourself Highlight Reel Spring Day
@@denisa0685 Have you seen the Japanese BU videos that go between Run and Young Forever? After Run is I Need U Japanese Version, then Run Japanese Version, then Epilogue: Young Forever.
DON'T watch xCeleste summary videos now. They are full of spoilers. It is a summary video, not an explanation. Many people make reactors watch it but for what? This is his first BU video, don't throw all the spoilers at him. :)
Wait!!!! ARE WE GOING DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE NOW????😱😱 You have to react to the videos in a specific order to understand what's going on(that is if you want to understand the storyline. If not then you can watch it hiwever you want. But you will probably be lost for a long time).. I am sure a lot my fellow ARMY will suggest to you the order😀😀😀.. Good luck.. you are diving in deep😊
I recommend watching BTS Run MV and BTS On stage: Prologue too since it is also part of the storyline. You can get more theory about the story when you watch it. Anyways, it was a nice reaction video. I didn't notice RM and V's shadow as wings until you pointed it out.
Yeah like we can watch their videos as many Time as we Want there always be someone in 1, 5 or 10 years that'll point sthg new out. It's just amazes me the layers and the details in the music, cinematography and lyrics. Like I'm mindblown everytime.
NEED U is part of the Most Beautiful Moment in Life Series.It connects to the prologue Butterfly, and the official BU music videos as well as the webtoon Save Me. So it's not just one story. It's a continuing one. The BU Story in the simplest terms In highschool Seokjin followed in the footsteps of his father by making selfish decisions and protecting himself instead of standing by his friends. This caused the group to drift apart and as a result of losing eachother, they get in trouble some landing in jail, others committing suicide as a result of not being able to cope with their VERY dark pasts. These are briefly shown in I NEED U.I NEED U is sort of introduction to the BU and shows each character's backstory along with the fates Seokjin needs to save the members from.
I'm so glad to see you start the BTS Universe! This is definitely where all the cues and cinematography of their videos shine for me personally. I suggest you watch all the MVs before searching up explanation videos so that we can see your first interpretation of the story! I'm sure someone will be able to provide a guide to go through. Please remember that it is a fictional storyline that includes character arcs and motivation so it might not necessarily relate to a general explanation. Also the song lyrics don't usually relate to the story :)
9:48 YOU GOT IT RIGHT! 😭 this MV is based on their storyline 'Bangtan Universe' or BU, where each of them have their own pain and sorrow, but when they are together they could feel happiness. They have 2 books for the storyline titled 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' Pt.1 & Pt.2, and just like what the book said, “We can laugh when we're together.” now let me cry.. :(

it's the main video of Bangtan universe. you see suga in fire like fake love, jimin in water like fake love,...it all started from this video. react to bangtan universe story. you'll understand clearly
You should also react to WINGS SHORT FILMS !!! There are 7 very short ones... The cinematography in those will shock you to core cuz they are so beautiful
Welcome to the beginning of the Bangtan Universe... and down the rabbithole you go! This song is special to me, cos it made me ARMY. I was soooo addicted to it n the music video definitely had something to do with that addiction too. I loved how raw n real it was. This is the 1st of a whole series of videos that will have you going deeper into the fictional storyline of the 7 guys in their Bangtan Universe. There was even a webtoon that's part of this storyline n a bunch of books called the Notes that gives you more clues as to what its all about. Good luck trying to figure it out!
I’m glad you caught that every time they’re alone they had deep and serious struggles, but together they’re carefree and happy. They mask their sadness with happiness, but alone they have no hope or laughter.
Ok yess this is the beginning of the bts universe And yeah that was jimin Plus you should watch mma 2019 performance its a masterpiece and it actually also tells a story plus fyi its an award show
omggg! I'm so gladddd you reacted on this one! Always remember that this song is the start of the BTS Universe therefore you should react to it in chronological order and always pay attention to the details because it is the key to understand everything. Hoping for more reactions from you and I hope you'll enjoy this journey! Thank you so much for making my day better!
Pro tip: if you really want to learn their faces, watch not-music related stuff. That really helped me way more than watching the music videos. I'm talking interviews, Run Episodes, compilations, just clips where their personalities come out a bit more - somehow, it's easier for the brain to connect the face to stuff like that (at least it was like that for me). I know you watch a lot of the behind the scenes videos but a lot of the times, they speak to the camera in low light so I imagine it's rather difficult to really tell them apart that way.
Btw when people say they had nothing it's comparative to kpop, they did have support and resources but it was next to nothing compared to other groups, like kpop is so expensive and a massively competitive market so even if you have finances it might not be enough. Hundreds of groups debut every year and only a handful 'make it', and they're from big companies. Its considered an achievement to make it past 100 days, there's actually a vid of bts celebrating it
Honestly the moment u said "wings", I was blown away by ur observantness. Wings were much more than an image, they played a big role in BTS's cinematic universe.
there are small details that they have kept all throughout the years. for example Suga is always connected to fire (he was the one facing the fire/explosion in the fake love music video, he was also the one who set the person on fire on the Fire MV, etc), jin has always had mysterious solo shots as if he knows something we don't, jimin is connected with the water (he's the one in the bathtub and he was also on the scene with water in fake love mv)
The first blow of that bottle matching up perfectly to the car's impact and Namjoon dropping the cigarette that acts as the match to start the fire in the motel room are just really brilliant editing choices that give me chills every goddamn time I see this mv.
for me, it shows that when they're together they can be happy and enjoy each other's company regardless of the hurdles they're facing but then when they're on their own, they're miserable and lost. Now the Bangtan Boys are very open about having to spend time as much as possible to all with the members, to share the joys and the sadness together. Jimin said in one of the interviews that hes not sure what he gonna do without his members with him as well as JK and V. Even Suga wish that they can make music together for a long time. Jin and Hobi are so vocal about how precious their members are to them. I just love how they love each other... It's just amazing and I guess it's one of the reasons why I fall for these guys. They put value to everything and they're not ashame to express and show... I just love that, it is indeed gives hope to me, wishing to meet again my friends who used to be so close to me... I wish to have that relationship with friends when I was younger or even in the future... 💜 *Even though Big Hit don't have enough capital for BTS MVs they try to prioritized it, coz for them it's their way people will want to watch their MVs coz TV appearances is hard.. 💜Their huge success now is like the manifestations of their past struggles....I can really say, BTS deserved all the success they're having now and ARMYs have big part of that as well.💜💜💜💜 of their
this song literally touches my soul - I don’t know it just gives me chills and it makes me feel happy but sad at the same time. happy bc they’ve come so far and are very successful! but also sad knowing everything they’ve had to go through, all the hate and criticism they faced since debut. they deserve so much :((
This is actually a part of the BTS universe! I'm sure many other people have mentioned it too but there's an actual storyline and it's really worth looking into and watching the MV's and other videos in order
If you notice through the videos, one of the guys is just looking upon them. And no tragedy befalls him. He is like the base. Where all rest lose their way. Shows that he missed them. He is also enclosed in a room. The six petals in his hands and then the projector shot on his chest denote the other six members that live in his heart. He is the one always imagining or thinking of way to save them and bring them back together.
They didn't save budgets for the Music and works. Even the lack of sources. They put all of it for this one. And it blows up. I became a fan with this mv thankfully.
let's be honest, this mv really gives you chills not only for the goodness of the shots and the storyline, it's also because they are pretty damn good actors.
"The beginning of their journey " "looking at the opening ocean, no limitations " i love how u give everything a meaning, actually with I NEED YOU they won their first award in Korean shows..
I need u and spring day have always been my favorite MV's because they look so vulnerable to me. Personally I like their old MV's the most because of that.
Sooooo... To understand BTS Universe, look further at HYYH On Stage: Prologue, and then Run. So there will be a general idea of what is going on. Thank you for your reactions!!!
at 11:20 the scream in the song coincides with jimin screaming in the video. that parts still gives me chills everytime i watch it even, even after 6 years.
this mv and run are both linked to each other and the storyline , the storyline is very beautiful and each members has their own character they play usually with struggles or sad backgrounds, there’s usually a specific order to watch the mv’s once you get to this point and wings / love yourself series and highlight reels
Ah, you are delving into the BTS universe which is great. They put out a series called ‘Highlight Reels,’ which is also related to the BTS Universe. They are masterful.
Thank you for your reaction 💜 ❗️The next one should be: “On Stage Prologue”❗️ This is the continuation of the storyline🔥🙏🏻 There’s a lot of connection in their MV.. U already have seen “Fake Love” and you have seen Jin and flower, Jimin and water, Suga and fire ( it’s just the most obvious connection)😌
i think they new this song could be the end or the begginig for something... cause its funny how this is like the beggining of the bts universe (the history that the group created trougth music, videos and short films) ad this was their first song the blew up... i think they were like: lets go with everything iin this one... and the lets see how it goes.
I'm happy that this MV gives you hope. It's the same with us ARMYs too 🥺💜 their songs and MVs have a deep meaning and stories behind it which I really love.
I love how every other video of theirs get you in the feelings, but that's what makes them so great! I love how cinematic they are and convey a short story in 3-4 minutes AND the meaning of the song itself. The release of "The most beautiful moment in life pt 1" was the career turning point for them and with this mv they start exploring that storyline that is still ongoing. It's very convoluting and it's told across different mediums and platforms, but here is a quick recap if you're interested (also, trigger waring): BTS play characters that are plagued with mental or social issues. They were school friends, but when they graduated got estranged. Jin's character went to live abroad, but after a few years came back to Korea and tried to get the group back together. But due to the bad circumstances that surround the rest of the guys, they either die, get detained in jail or in mental hospitals. The first time one of his friends die in front of him, Jin gets sent back in time. This continues to happen every time he's not able to save one of them. He understands that his mission is to find a way to save all of them, otherwise he will be stuck forever in this time loop. If you want to know all of it, you can watch yt recaps, this storyline is also called the "HYYH storyline". Again, thank you for the analysis and break downs!
I love that you listen to the song and read the lyrics. And I love you not knowing what’s going on but having such wonderful insights. BU is a very complicated story but worth the time. Prepare yourself bc you’re in for a real journey. The artistry of BTS on every level is amazing.
You need to know that small Korean lables put all their money and effort for their biggest artist comeback because their future depends on this artist so yeah bts lablel had quite good amount of money from the album sales merchandise etc from previous projects. So yeah if BTS didn't make it TXT wouldn't have a chance to debut
i watched i need you so many times but i never noticed that wings shadow whaaaaa... i wouldn't be surprised next thing I knew you'll be reacting to the whole BTS Universe and connecting music videos for theories. thank you so much again for this!!!
This video was the beginning of the Bangtan Universe. All the videos in this series are connected with a lot of symbolism throughout the MV (not so much the lyrics) that slowly reveals a storyline that’s a little hard to put together but so engaging (ARMYs were confused for years. since it’s ongoing…we still are kinda). You will want to pay attention to who is with who (pairs) and when. The next video in the story is “On stage: Prologue” and make sure you look up the one with English subtitles because the original doesn’t have that (and you’ll want that…). Have fun exploring the BU!
"their shadows, does that not look like wings?" I never noticed that detail before and it gave me chills. What's actually interesting is the fact that they do have an album called Wings and some short teaser clips (that are really interesting to look at) that came prior to the release and all of them contribute to their BU story
It makes you wonder whether it was all planned which is so crazy to think about. The way they tied this all together is amazing!
@@cieradivens3934 It makes me wonder too
I think he and the Korean director youtuber(s) were the only ones that noticed that!
Edit, their link: ruclips.net/video/Wvgmr_EtPUk/видео.html
The wings part also gave me chills!
idk he question my armyness in every freaking reaction by telling something new and important ,when i have seen these mv infinity times, like everyday
They have used their staff as actors. They used cars of their managers most of the props are arranged by staff members. RM said it was supposed to be I need you friend but it didn't sounded good so he choose girl instead of friend. they are suffering when they are alone but happy when they are together.
so happy but “i need u friend” sound so ridiculous it’s funny
Really?? I didn't know it was supposed to be "friend", do you remember where he said that?
@@kota4801 I don't really remember where he said that exactly. Sorry but it's true.
That's kinda sad ngl, it takes away a lot of the meaning
@@ot7biasedmashups what? the lyrics saying”friend” or “girl”?
"some sort of a story"
me: laughs in bts cinematic universe
all jokes aside I love your analysis and your thoughts are really interesting to hear as someone who is looking to get into video editing and cinematography
I know I laughed too, people who watch I Need U have no idea that is the beginning of the long complicated storyline that is still continuing today 6 years later.
yes and then the webtoon also helps (increase the pain)
I suggest reading the webtoon, it adds more details to the mv
*BTS cinematic universe* that's perfect. When I fell into the BTS trap, I didn't understand why the videos were just so freaking amazing but now I see as time goes on that it was done like that on purpose.
I am still trying to piece in all the theories😭😭
Fun fact: the two guys in hoodies that bumped into one of the members are their managers
ooh i came down here to comment the same
And during filming...they had to do take after take because JK couldn't stop laughing!
Do you know which managers? Like their names, so I know exactly who?💜
this mv is part of the bts universe, their storyline. there's a lot of mvs that are included in the storyline so it might seem confusing but once you know it it'll all fall into place. xceleste made a great video to explain it
This is the order
I NEED U MV (19+ version… the censored version cuts out a lot of the storyline)

@@fessi yesss
@@m.m.9175 anytime and don't worry, bts has a lot of music so its normal to not konw them all
@@denisa0685 ok, but don't forget the tweets, The Notes, the VCR from their concerts, the Smeraldo Blog, the album photoshoot and posters, the live performances, the game BTS World, the books... did I forget something? Just to say, you need to get through all of this to get the story. If you watch only music videos, you won't understand anything.
They have a storyline called "BTS Universe" which is very deep and is connected to almost every early MVs.
There's actually a story being told in their music videos. You should definitely look into it because it's very poetic and beautiful. They have highlight reels which sort of continue the story without the music but it's all very pretty. I feel that you can sort of see them beginning to get money and gain popularity in these videos and progress to where they are now. So I'd suggest going in order of release if you're interested in looking into it
One of their PD said in the interview (forgot the title) that BTS mv has never been cheap. It always high in quality and price even since their first mv. Bang PD always want the quality. Even use the pds car or wht, still the budget never be cheap.
I think they tried to produce good quality mv with their very limited resources and low budget during the earlier days. This shows how passionate and professional Big Hit and BTS were about their crafts and music. Of course, now that they have the financial abilities, they produced even better quality and creative mv.
Oh here we go. You just dipped your toe in the ocean. Welcome to the bts storyline. Hope you like it 😃
I suggest reacting to their very first MV back in 2013 just to see the process of evolution of a legendary group.
BTS is actually a very complicated group, like they'll be singing the most upbeat song paired with body rolls and fearsness but the song is actually about depression. Yeah things like that.
No more dream 🔥
They were very much influenced by Hip hop too, and their songs were a bit controversial.
I straightly think bout Tomorrow when read this comment..
@@emlymellodyzhye2659 same
You should probably watch BTS storyline by Xceleste. You'll understand what is happening, they would go into a series of hardships, there is also a webtoon or comic called Save Me.
MVs related to the BU are Run, Danger, Stigma, Euphoria, Fake love, etc.
There are also short flims which kinda make it more interesting.

What is that order? The timeline?
I recommend watching BTS Run MV and BTS On stage: Prologue too since it is also part of the storyline. You can get more theory about the story when you watch it. Anyways, it was a nice reaction video. I didn't notice RM and V's shadow as wings until you pointed it out.

can't wait. He's gonna get wrecked :)
@@endxofxeternity yup 😂😂
There is an age restricted version of this MV, where you see more of the scenes and the story, check it out if you want :D
it's the main video of Bangtan universe. you see suga in fire like fake love, jimin in water like fake love,...it all started from this video. react to bangtan universe story. you'll understand clearly
He's so good at picking up the storylines but his mind will be blown when he dives fully into BTS'S storyline.
You should also react to WINGS SHORT FILMS !!! There are 7 very short ones...
The cinematography in those will shock you to core cuz they are so beautiful
i love the contrast of those bright and happy moments against the dark and lonely parts, it gives both more emphasis and you feel them more
I'm crying 😭, the throwback, the connections, the story. BTS Saranghae.

he said "this is not just a music video, but i feel like there's a story in here" bruuu he nailed it. wow 💕
You are one of those reactors that could give a very genuine reactions! What a great vid!
i miss being a baby army like him binge watching mv's and making hypothesis about BU haha
This is part of the BU storyline so I'd recommend Run after this as it follows the storyline!
what about their On stage prologue?
“I feel like there’s… there’s some sort of story going on”

Honestly the moment u said "wings", I was blown away by ur observantness. Wings were much more than an image, they played a big role in BTS's cinematic universe.
there are small details that they have kept all throughout the years. for example Suga is always connected to fire (he was the one facing the fire/explosion in the fake love music video, he was also the one who set the person on fire on the Fire MV, etc), jin has always had mysterious solo shots as if he knows something we don't, jimin is connected with the water (he's the one in the bathtub and he was also on the scene with water in fake love mv)
that was the song that saved the boys and their careers , it 's so beautiful
I clicked right away upon seeing my notif of you reacting to another BTS mv 🤩
The first blow of that bottle matching up perfectly to the car's impact and Namjoon dropping the cigarette that acts as the match to start the fire in the motel room are just really brilliant editing choices that give me chills every goddamn time I see this mv.
This is the start of BU storyline....I really love this song every time it gives me chills
Love you reaction as well
I got so addicted to this that I don't get enough sleep! and I am getting thinner!! but whatever I love it!
Hey , you should take care of yourself BTS wouldn't like to know this 😔
@@archanapatil2012 You are so sweet! Thank you and I will surely
@@nevernot4755 😄
your last words, gave me chills.. thank you for truly appreciating BTS and truly admiring their ART. I wish you the BEST!
Nicee now your starting the BTS Universe storyline, looking forward for the progress.
for me, it shows that when they're together they can be happy and enjoy each other's company regardless of the hurdles they're facing but then when they're on their own, they're miserable and lost. Now the Bangtan Boys are very open about having to spend time as much as possible to all with the members, to share the joys and the sadness together. Jimin said in one of the interviews that hes not sure what he gonna do without his members with him as well as JK and V. Even Suga wish that they can make music together for a long time. Jin and Hobi are so vocal about how precious their members are to them. I just love how they love each other... It's just amazing and I guess it's one of the reasons why I fall for these guys. They put value to everything and they're not ashame to express and show... I just love that, it is indeed gives hope to me, wishing to meet again my friends who used to be so close to me... I wish to have that relationship with friends when I was younger or even in the future... 💜
*Even though Big Hit don't have enough capital for BTS MVs they try to prioritized it, coz for them it's their way people will want to watch their MVs coz TV appearances is hard.. 💜Their huge success now is like the manifestations of their past struggles....I can really say, BTS deserved all the success they're having now and ARMYs have big part of that as well.💜💜💜💜
of their
You should continue reacting to the storyline , after then you can realize that how one music video is connected with other one
welcome to the BTS universe, this is the starts i hope you check out the whole thing
I Found You Randomly and Now You Got A New Subscriber!
this song literally touches my soul - I don’t know it just gives me chills and it makes me feel happy but sad at the same time. happy bc they’ve come so far and are very successful! but also sad knowing everything they’ve had to go through, all the hate and criticism they faced since debut. they deserve so much :((
This is actually a part of the BTS universe! I'm sure many other people have mentioned it too but there's an actual storyline and it's really worth looking into and watching the MV's and other videos in order
If you notice through the videos, one of the guys is just looking upon them. And no tragedy befalls him. He is like the base. Where all rest lose their way. Shows that he missed them. He is also enclosed in a room. The six petals in his hands and then the projector shot on his chest denote the other six members that live in his heart. He is the one always imagining or thinking of way to save them and bring them back together.
I started watching your videos because I was interested in cinematic part, but now it just feels like I'm watching MVs with a friend. Thank you)
They didn't save budgets for the Music and works. Even the lack of sources. They put all of it for this one. And it blows up. I became a fan with this mv thankfully.
let's be honest, this mv really gives you chills not only for the goodness of the shots and the storyline, it's also because they are pretty damn good actors.
I can’t wait for you to get into the short film, they‘re way too pretty
"The beginning of their journey " "looking at the opening ocean, no limitations " i love how u give everything a meaning, actually with I NEED YOU they won their first award in Korean shows..
OMG, when they are together it represents them making music. It's such a great interpretation.
Yes! There IS a story! A whole BTS Universe story behind all of it! Connecting MVs, books, webtoons, etc. Fake love is part of it.
I have watched this MV soooo many times and every time I get chills
I need u and spring day have always been my favorite MV's because they look so vulnerable to me. Personally I like their old MV's the most because of that.
I love their music, there's a meaning for single song. These boys ROCK.
This is where it all starts where the BANGTAN UNIVERSE starts
omg FINALLY YOU REACT TO THIS, I’M SO HAPPY! As always good reaction 💜
Sooooo...
To understand BTS Universe, look further at HYYH On Stage: Prologue, and then Run. So there will be a general idea of what is going on. Thank you for your reactions!!!
at 11:20 the scream in the song coincides with jimin screaming in the video. that parts still gives me chills everytime i watch it even, even after 6 years.
"It's like there is some sort of story!"😂
I love the director's cut of this so much, it really makes the video
This video really say about "You can smile as long as we're together" vibe..
Oh my god you HAVE to watch the short films. It follows this storyline and they are STUNNING
omg you're getting to know their storyline that's amazing
this mv and run are both linked to each other and the storyline , the storyline is very beautiful and each members has their own character they play usually with struggles or sad backgrounds, there’s usually a specific order to watch the mv’s once you get to this point and wings / love yourself series and highlight reels
Ah, you are delving into the BTS universe which is great. They put out a series called ‘Highlight Reels,’ which is also related to the BTS Universe. They are masterful.
Thank you for your reaction 💜
❗️The next one should be: “On Stage Prologue”❗️
This is the continuation of the storyline🔥🙏🏻
There’s a lot of connection in their MV.. U already have seen “Fake Love” and you have seen Jin and flower, Jimin and water, Suga and fire ( it’s just the most obvious connection)😌
I LOVE HOW U SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY VERSUS HOW I SEE THEM
I never noticed the wings before but, yes, wings! So cool! That ties into the Wings short films. Thanks for the great reaction.
i think they new this song could be the end or the begginig for something... cause its funny how this is like the beggining of the bts universe (the history that the group created trougth music, videos and short films) ad this was their first song the blew up... i think they were like: lets go with everything iin this one... and the lets see how it goes.
Yea I think so too
@@LoveTheBasics omg I love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to react and respond to comments… also sorry for my English 😭😂
I'm happy that this MV gives you hope. It's the same with us ARMYs too 🥺💜 their songs and MVs have a deep meaning and stories behind it which I really love.
I love how every other video of theirs get you in the feelings, but that's what makes them so great! I love how cinematic they are and convey a short story in 3-4 minutes AND the meaning of the song itself.
The release of "The most beautiful moment in life pt 1" was the career turning point for them and with this mv they start exploring that storyline that is still ongoing. It's very convoluting and it's told across different mediums and platforms, but here is a quick recap if you're interested (also, trigger waring):
BTS play characters that are plagued with mental or social issues. They were school friends, but when they graduated got estranged. Jin's character went to live abroad, but after a few years came back to Korea and tried to get the group back together. But due to the bad circumstances that surround the rest of the guys, they either die, get detained in jail or in mental hospitals. The first time one of his friends die in front of him, Jin gets sent back in time. This continues to happen every time he's not able to save one of them. He understands that his mission is to find a way to save all of them, otherwise he will be stuck forever in this time loop. If you want to know all of it, you can watch yt recaps, this storyline is also called the "HYYH storyline".
Again, thank you for the analysis and break downs!
I always got goosebumps and start crying when ever i see this music video, may they be happy in their whole life🥺🥺❤❤
YES IM SO EXCITED FOR THE WINGS FILMS!! whewww
them standing in the ocean is like their end. i got chills. they didn’t know that i need u will be their beginning as they slowly step up.
If you want to see the most low budget bts mv you should check "we are bulletproof pt2"
The shadow look like a wings…. I never never see that ever. God your eyes so good
oh my god i never realized the shadows looked like wings. props to you for picking that up
I love that you listen to the song and read the lyrics. And I love you not knowing what’s going on but having such wonderful insights. BU is a very complicated story but worth the time. Prepare yourself bc you’re in for a real journey. The artistry of BTS on every level is amazing.
I never noticed the “wings” before. That’s an important and good catch.
Run continues directly from this, so I suggest watching that next.
i need u and run have my heart. it’s so so so sad and nostalgic and makes you miss something, even if you never experienced it
SOMEBODY JUST GIVE HIM AN AWARD ALREADY PLZZZ!!!!!!!!
You need to know that small Korean lables put all their money and effort for their biggest artist comeback because their future depends on this artist so yeah bts lablel had quite good amount of money from the album sales merchandise etc from previous projects. So yeah if BTS didn't make it TXT wouldn't have a chance to debut
I have never clicked on a video so fast!
i watched i need you so many times but i never noticed that wings shadow whaaaaa... i wouldn't be surprised next thing I knew you'll be reacting to the whole BTS Universe and connecting music videos for theories. thank you so much again for this!!!
your interpretations are really on point to be honest. omg been binge watching all ur bts reaction vid. i love it so much.
Yes! Please react to their storyline! On stage: prologue for next😉
This video was the beginning of the Bangtan Universe. All the videos in this series are connected with a lot of symbolism throughout the MV (not so much the lyrics) that slowly reveals a storyline that’s a little hard to put together but so engaging (ARMYs were confused for years. since it’s ongoing…we still are kinda). You will want to pay attention to who is with who (pairs) and when. The next video in the story is “On stage: Prologue” and make sure you look up the one with English subtitles because the original doesn’t have that (and you’ll want that…). Have fun exploring the BU!
Also pay special attention to Jin (the one with the flower petals), he Has a special role throughout the storyline.
