I had no clue Wild flower had a MV because the color coded version came up first😭 SO I’ll react to that music video in my next BTS reaction whether I do the guide next, or more songs!! 💜🎶
their music is pretty much never about a girl/someone romantically. awake was about how jin felt inadequate predebut/early post-debut, because he (felt he) wasn't as talented as the other members (coming in with zero experience & learning everything as a trainee), hence the line about "holding tightly to six flowers" - the flowers representing the members. and moon, like someone else already commented, was for/about army. 💜 also i'm sure you'll like any song better after seeing an actual performance, trust me! ps. rm's wildflower has an mv, with captions...
Thanks for letting me know the actual meaning of awake!! That’s sad he didn’t feel good enough at first😔 Yes I tried to add a live performance in this video for v, but it got blocked so I had to cut it out😭 also I had no clue wild flower had a music video, so I’ll react to that in the next BTS reaction!!
domodachi is from RM’s recent album Right Place, Wrong Person. its a very experimental project. the album blends elements of hiphop, jazz, psychedelic rock, and r&b together. its one of my favorite albums ever. even outside of kpop. like this project blows past the box of kpop and dares to reshape and innovate hiphop as a genre in itself.
Moon is such a masterpiece. You should check out V's Tiny Desk. It is incredible. Impossible to not fall in love with him while watching it. Also, that's his own hand in the jacket on the mannequin lol
@@shalayaB He has huge shoulders. Like it's a feature that tells u it's jin and not another member. Car door guy was trending in Korea when BTS walked out to the awards show and everyone and their mom wanted to know who was the 1st guy out because he was so handsome, lol. It's a thing.
@@shalayaB actually RM, V and Jin their last name is Kim because in our Asian culture like when someone gets married on the wedding invitation we put our last name first then our first name last. For example RM he would put Kim (last name) Namjoon (first name) hope that helps 😀
pretty much same i will admit the first interview i saw it was yoongi because he reminded me of a cat, and then i though rm was the most handsome but once i actually learned about their personalities and voices tae is literally my twin from another planet lol so i love him i love all the boys though and fell more and more in love with them as time goes on but tae i just see and it's like 'hey myself' and he is an asian man who look completely different from me (though he got all the talent)
I’m surprised you didn’t do a MV for Jin. I’d highly recommend doing either Epiphany or Astronaut. Both are great. Great reaction so far … I’m still through Jin right now. Excited to see your reaction to the rest.
The Kim Line has a place in my heart, they have a range of voices that can set your mood in the right direction of emotions. Namjoon Kim is a great leader in BTS and has beautiful dragon-like eyes that you can get lost looking at them. Seokjin Kim has a funny dorky humor and love that we ARMY adore and respect. Taehyung Kim has an incredible voice that can go high pitch or go to a low deep pitch that can sway you where he wants you too. Good choices of solo songs for the three Kim men btw! 💜💜💜
I'm so surprised people even recommended domadachi, its such a niche genre that most people wouldn't be into. Lost or Come back to me would have been a better pick in my opinion sense they were the singles for the album and are way easier listens
Domodachi actually grew on me after some listens. I went from not really vibing with it to it getting stuck in my head randomly. But I would say I feel like it listens better when you hear how each song transitions from one another in the album because some songs connect together! Edit: also you’re such a mood with Tae, I remember this song coming out on my birthday! I surely enjoyed that lmao 💜 as a 2017 Army I enjoy seeing your journey a lot. :))
"I am the moon and ARMY is my earth" -Jin 🥺 his first album is coming up and he said in an interview that the album is like his letters to ARMY 😭 he wrote them i think when he was in the military and missing performing, missing the members and ARMY.. that man LOVES us, even his song The Astronaut was his farewell song to ARMY before enlisting also... aye~ i suggested the kim line title. i thought you haven't read it so i was surprised to see the title of this video 😅 thank you💜
I'm shocked Epiphany by Jin and Joke by RM weren't picked lol. Awake made Jin my bias. Also i caught Rainy Days in the background of the ad lol. And realizing Awake is about how he feels when compared to the other members and how he thinks he'll never be as good as them broke me. I never rank them lol. It's just Jin as my fav and everyone else is second.
Wait! Why would one not recommend "Epiphany" for Jin? Also, I would recommend "Around the World in a Day," and "Moonchild" by RM and "Winter Bear" for V. I hope you like them. Fun fact: "Domodachi" made it to Cillian Murphy's songs of the year list. (Don't worry it took some time for me to get used to this song from the album. Now I am madly in love with it!)
Moon is also not really a style of music a listen to that much, but when you become an army and get attached to them and realize he is literally singing those words to you omg😭💜 it hits different lmao, so it's one of my favorite songs, not for how it sounds but for it's meaning💜
There's more masterpieces by jin like epiphany, the Astronaut, tonight, yours and his latest song "I'll be there " a pre-release single from his first album "HAPPY" which is coming in November 15TH
when you get to know their personalities it will be so hard to move on from them.. the bond between them is soo gooood❤, they are family..i love their bond so much😭❤..and As my bias is V, he is the most innocent and kind person I have ever seen and he has that smile that make you smile along with him.. and also he is the most unique person among them, you can't predict his mind.. and why he is the most biased, 1)His voice 2)his stage presence.. his expressions while on stage is insanely good and actually so comfortable to watch and 3) obviously the look as he is the most handsome man in the world for a while now and 4)his personality that make you wanna love him and got stuck on him.. that's what happened to me and he makes music similar to my music taste.. so he was never ever bias wrecked.. idk now I miss them and their run bts episodes😭😭😭😭
I totally feel the same way and can relate about members I initially didnt pay so much attention to, suddenly snucking up on me 😂. I'm a 2022 ARMY and getting into each of their solo releases made me just love and appreciate every single one of them individually even more. Suga might be my bias but I feel like if they were members of different groups, they'd all be my biases from each of them. They each are all just so damn good and excel in what they do best 😭. BTS truly just a different level and a once in a life time group and I am so glad they get a long well and love each other. 😭💜🥹
Your reaction to Domodachi is understandable don't worry! It's definitely niche and the video is quite disorienting. I feel like you would have liked the song Groin and the video for it better. I wouldn't say it's anything demonic though. Just to provide a little context, the MV's storyline is about a kid who is suddenly thrust into adult life too early, overwhelmed, not knowing who to trust, and escaping it. It's about perseverance and trusting real friends to help you, and keeping that loyalty to your real friends in the end. Domodachi is actually a combination of two Japanese words Domo which means "Thanks" and Tomodachi which translates to "friend"
idk if someone has said this already but "KIM" isn't their first names It's actually their last names. In korea, last names are written before your first name. So with Kim namjoon for example, Kim is his last name and Namjoon is his first name. Same with Kim seokjin and Kim Taehyung. So their first names are Namjoon, Seokjin and Taehyung while they all have the same "Kim" last name.
In many countries: first name = given name of a person last name = family's name. In Korea, family = first. Then, the person's given name. Example: RM's name is 김 넘준 (Kim Namjoon). His friends call him Namjoon because that's the name he was given, while Kim is the name of his family. When he introduces himself, he says, "Hello! I'm Kim Namjoon." He's first telling you who is family is, then who he is. Or, in idol context, he says, "Hi! I'm BTS' RM." He's telling you his team name first, then his given name. Korean society focuses more on being a member of a collective group, than in the West where we focus more on individualism. Neither is right or wrong. It's just a different approach to life. 😊 I hope that makes sense.
Jin's nickname is Jin because his actual name is Seokjin. He's generally WWH (Worldwide Handsome) or Jin Hit. Jinnie or Sepkjinnie. Less often, he's the Pink Princess. 🙃🤭
Yeah, RM is the member who curses the most... in English hahahah Suga and Hobi also curse a lot in their music but mostly in korean so is not as obvious to us non korean speakers😂 edit: just wanted to share the fun fact that at his solo concert, Agust D/Suga had a whole ass 3 min remix of a curse korean word that now every army knows lmaoo And don't feel bad for not liking some songs, i love love love all the members so much and support them in all their creative decisions but i have to admit that those decisions not always align with my taste hahah😂 but Domodachi is a song that has grown on me, definitely. And also, if you liked the feature on that song (Little Simz) you should totally check out more of her music, some of my faves are No Merci, Venom, Gorilla, Flowers, hope you give her music a chance uwu
Some ARMYs think V stands out in ot7 content more than when he's solo. And some think otherwise , and some think he stands out in both . I'm the last type of ARMYs, he's always catching my attention.
He is best in both ,I'm not a fan of jazz music but not when it's taetae ,,he is incredible and his album layover is my all time fav album ,,al through I love his all solo songs too like Inner child,winter bear ,4 o'clock,sweet night,Christmas tree,scenery, etc etc
They are great right? By the way. They are known as the Kim line because their last (family)name is Kim, not their first name. In Asia they always give their family name first and first/ personal name second.
Can I just say, the idea of ‘ranking’ the members is genuinely anathema to true ARMY. You might like one’s voice the most, or think another is the best looking, or whatever, but no matter biases ARMY love them all equally. Also, it’s important to differentiate between BTS songs performed by a solo member, and the music each individual creates as a solo artist, where the member has complete creative control over the sound, vibe and aesthetic they want to put out.
@shalayaB damn imaa picky listener but not when it's BTS, those 7 normal boys are really magician,,I love everything they do,, (I never thought that I will fall for musicians like this but i did)😂
Loved it! RM's Domodachi is from his latest album RPWP, but it is NOT a K-pop album at all...I would personally categorize it more like alternative. His first album is Indigo but before that it was his mixed tape Mono which is fantastic too. RM is an exceptional artist in his own right. I am RM biased too, can you tell? V is very seductive and jazzy with his voice and the visuals enhance it. Jin's vocals are also out of this world as well. His songs would all be an OST to my life drama...lol! I love them all! They are all sooo unique and talented. Trust me, I found BTS through J-hope and then I was wrecked by JK, then V, then Jin...Jimin always drives me wild. At first I couldn't tell Yoongi and JK apart...lol! I went through Yoongi and RM as my wreckers...but then I went back to J-hope as my #1 bias for a long long time. RM fought his way as my #2 bias...I am double biased with 5 wreckers.
I wouldn’t have recommended Domodachi here. I love it, but almost always listen to it in the context of the whole album, rarely on its own. Th e album Right Place Wrong Person is an absolute masterpiece!
The way I get Goosebumps everytime I listen to Jin's and Jimin's High notes. I sometimes endup crying for no reason listening to them. But seriously, 😅 believe me , I am Rm biased. But the other 6 wrecks be so HARD on every comeback, every song , every performance. That I stopped choosing bias now 😂. I AM OT7 . That the end.
Glad to see you again! Ooh, good choices for songs. You got the interpretation for persona spot on. The album is inspired by Carl Jung, who says the persona is the mask we show the world, so RM was questioning what kind of image/impact he has on the world, what’s his “real self”, is he even good enough to be in his position of fame, and in the end reached his conclusion. Wild flower is gorgeous (I love the way he called back to Persona with “Where’s your soul? Where’s your dream?”). Please watch the music video at some point, it’s so beautiful! Domodachi is my least fav on the new album sound wise 🙈 and it’s also still hard for me to understand. So I get you, thanks for your honesty! It means “thank you friend” in Japanese. I think the chaos in the sound is on purpose, especially in combo with the mv I think it’s a kid getting lost in the adult world (= music industry??) and trying to escape, but once he’s out realising he misses his friend who he left in there and diving back in again? And the lyrics talk about friendship too. Idk though. Little Simz is great btw, you should check out her music too! She’s a British rapper. You probably heard, but Jin’s coming out with an album next week, so exciting!
I know a lot of people have a bias, but I truly could not choose which one. I think they all have individual unique talents and styles and I like them all equally. Every time I think one is my bias, I watch another song and I change, so I have accepted I have 7 biases and am truly OT7.
1:18 I might heard it wrong since I'm not a native English speaker, but you said "all of their first names are Kim". In Korea (as well as China or Japan, for example), the surname comes first. So, they share the same last name which is Kim, and their first names are Namjoon, Seokjin and Taehyung. Due to historical reasons, the surname Kim is the most common. Other idols who have Kim as their surname are Hongjoong (Ateez), Seungmin (Stray Kids), Jennie (BlackPink), Mingyu (Seventeen) etc. Fun fact: In TXT, four members share the surname Choi (pronounced as Chwe) - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu andTaehyun. Don't take this comment as offensive I just wanted to clear things up since it's a common mistake. Thank you for your videos 💜
no.. Run BTS, the one you're singing during Persona, is part of Proof album, it's their anthology album released in 2022, before they went on break Map of the Soul: Persona was released in 2019 and Map Of The Soul 7 was released in 2020.. they went BIG in that one cause they planned to have a massive world tour and go on break to do their military service, in 2020.... but covid happened, world tour got canceled and they stayed back until 2022... supposedly, they're now back together and touring 😢
loving all these reactions ❤ i think you need to react to a guide now to have a glimpse of their personalities and the group dynamics and some infos abt the group. plus jin will be releasing an album called "happy" this nov 15 it would be nice if you will catch and react to that. he also already released the pre release single "i'll be there" with an mv and a live clip performance 🥹
RM has made me cry with the ways in which he views life, which are imbued in his lyrics; Jin has made me cry off the sheer melancholy that his crystalline vocals can achieve; and Tae...whew, the love of my life right there! (SHALAYA GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AGAIN!) Tae's made me cry anytime his vocals reach my eardrums. I don't know if it's the richness of his tone or the feelings he can evoke in me or both or more, but any time I've listened to a Tae solo for the first time, I've cried! He's the vocalist my soul's been searching for and I wouldn't change a thing! As for your next video, I would say to watch the guide just to get a bit of a deeper look with their backstories. When I decided to dive head first into the BTS rabbit hole, I plunged myself straight into their variety show, Run BTS (not to be confused with their song by the same name), and their 2020 COVID staycation show, In The Soop, and I knew I loved these guys within a month - actually a week - of knowing them! It's just too easy to love them! I also binged all of the music they had out at the time...they were my escape/distraction for a long time as I was trying to heal from something, but eventually - probably within a year and a half - I began loving them more holistically: rather than an escape, they were people I knew I was grateful for because of their easy relatability, authenticity, and for reconnecting me with my love of art (amongst other things). Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble, I guess I'm just trying to say that everyone's journey into BTS is different and I figure it's best to do what you feel is best to continue to enjoy it while also staying genuine!
imo Domodachi is very deep to understand it seems to touch on fake friends but also those in power wanting control cause him and his friends to cry. so i think its very cryptic on purpose and possibly only artists that size understand what he means. because artists globally are fighting to be independent and even if they are like bts are since the label doesnt restrict them they still get censored and restrictions outside of their label like tv, interviews, music shows, award shows, radio etc not due to their label at all but due to not paying for the exposure and racism in western/english speaking majority countries music markets rejecting non English music. bts barely get radio play. their interviews are full of dumb questions because those interviewers and their higher ups dont take bts seriously and in korea its classism as bts and their label were poor and its said you cant climb up high from the bottom unless youre with major labels. even when bts are the biggest group and bighit is big due to bts and hybe was created in 2021 due to bts theyre all looked down on seen as cheaters lied about smeared in news because the big labels must stay on top the big labels control the media and tv networks so of course theyre gonna pay for bts and anyone in relation to be spoken bad about. "mf wanna take control" "all my friends crying in a row" "step in the place they yell go figure" "greet them with respect when you see them" etc its more expressed in groin as well because bts get it at all levels from media tv and corporations to fandoms amd general public to the government trying to use them etc since you mentioned being Christian figured this bit would be important to mention bts and korea in general isnt religion forward most arent religious or beliefs in ancestors higher powers but not aligned to specific religions but there are catholic, Christian, Muslim & Buddhist koreans some idols follow these some dont some tap into all some have family who are but dont personally practice etc rm specifically has said hes atheist however over the years hes been seen to study and learn about many religions which is why you should react to on music video by bts not the kinetic one but the regular music video, but my point is hes open minded and has seemingly tried different religions to see if he fits any most recently being Buddhism and the monk similar to a priest has a confession like conversation and is not supposed to tell anyone about it and the monk spoke to the media about everything rm said. which breaks my heart im personally not religions but i grew up catholic and it was things like that that push people away. instead of guiding by example those around you or the person who youre supposed to speak and confide in breaks your trust ruins the relationship with any higher powers. so id avoid God Rap by rm this is before the public betrayal however it is a song many religious armys find slightly offensive depending on how religious you are and its not like he targets anyone or any religion he very clearly respects religious people but in that song he was expressing himself possibly through anger and wanting something to believe in but being late down in other areas etc so the wording may upet you down the road and they do use God in a expression way in multiple songs so just want you to be aware of that so its not as shocking when it happens. also other things theyve said and done in the past which they apologized for and grew and matured whether it be religious, culturally, racially, sexist etc they have grown into better men so when/if you come across things that make you uncomfortable make sure to put into perspective of the year it was released or said and the overall internet at the time. korea as a whole has a long way to go in so many areas but kpop wants to be global so they have to learn the hard way when things they do or say arent appropriate. but in bts case their fandom is so big due to their real growth in all areas as much as anti fans want to claim otherwise there has been real growth. but yeah Domodachi feels very cryptic but direct at the same time and feels different from their other hater songs feels very much attacking a bigger fish. youd have to know all bts history to really pick up on it and even then you feel like youre reaching. but bts have done this before and fan theories were right so it is possible with the context of their lyrics previously what theyvs said to us directly on live streams and in conerts and things we know about the industry and how it treated them the last 10 years. sorry for writing so much. please react to on music video and bts hardships 2021 by xceleste
Okay for nicknames let me give you the rundown RM- Namu/Joonie (from his real name Namjoon) Suga- Yoongles/lil meow meow😂 (not everyone uses these tbh we just call him Yoongi which is his real name, the lil meow meow is because yoongi is very cat like) Jhope- Hobi as you know Jin- Seokjinnie/Jinnie is what we normally call him Jungkook- kookie/jungkookie/kookoo (it's a lot for Jk tbh cause he's our baby hehehe😂, well not a baby anymore😭) V- Tae Tae/ Taehyungie/(Taebear is what I call him) Jimin- (oh this one is a lot 😭) jiminie/ mini/ mochi/ chim chim/ little prince (from the Korean side)/ an angel😭
I originally posted this video and i had my reaction to stigma live, but it got copyrighted, so I had to cut that portion out😭 I LOVED his performance of stigma live!!✨✨
my first bias in bts is v but after 6 mounth of 2021 i became ot7 bias and in the latest mounth of same year i beacame suga bias and since then he still my bias till now😊😊
I just subscribed,love your reaction, check out V's tiny desk, singularity live,stigma live ,it hits differently,you also need to check out his OST for Kdrama called sweet night and for BTS reaction try 2021 fiesta,or Pied Piper, dimple, telepathy,blackswan.
Once you get into them more and decide on a bias... you can have more than one. 😂 I have 3! My biases are Jimin (ult), Yoongi (ult) and Hobi. Everyone else is a bias wrecker. You could be an OT7 or based on this video a vmin bias (V and Jimin). (I am incapable of having a single bias in any group I stan 🤣)
Since you are like the rest of us, just say your bias is OT7 since it is impossible to choose. They are all too talented. 😊 V is my bias for slow, moody songs, along with Jin--- which are very much my primary vibe. Jimin is my run BTS variety show, dance, and performance bias. JK is my live stream bias. Jin is my ballad bias. Suga is my solo concert bias and emotional rap bias. J-hope is is tied with jimin for performance bias. RM is my lyric bias and rap flow. I would love to sit down and discuss anything with him. Also, thanks for being a great example. I am also Christian and don't cuss or listen to music with swearing however I have to be honest, since I got into BTS two years ago, I have been listening to all their stuff even if they cuss which I have never done before. Not sure why I am giving them a free pass when I never have before with anyone else. I also try to avoid the songs where the swearing is excessive (pretty much just a few of RM's songs). That said, I really like domodachi and almost all of RM's latest album even though the swearing is far above my normal comfort level. I think it is a masterpiece. But you holding the line is very inspirational to me and is a good reminder to me to be more vigilant.
Haven't even watched the reaction yet and I already liked it. I love you so much😭💜 Girlll I'm telling you with bts keeping just one bias even two is almost nearly impossible😭. They just keep creeping on you like they should just chill😭😭. Abyss literally give chills!!!! Jin’s vocals are my favorite thing in the world😩 As a Namjoon girlie I forgive you for not liking Thee Domodachi lol. It's fine and we all have our preferences🤭 Tae tae 😭😭. He's just something else. Not one bad song from his entire discography😩
Awww you’re so sweet!!🥹💜 Yes I think I’ll end up OT7 fr at the end of the day😂😭 YES I love abyss so much ahhhhh!!! Aww thank you for not being mad that I don’t like that song🫶🏽 I still LOVE RM SO much!! Omg V almost had me about to pass away😩 his voice has no business being that hot and he’s so fine too! Pleaseeeee✋🏽🙃
@ don't worry about it. There are so many other namjoon songs I know you will love but my man curses a lot😭. We will figure it out though and recommend the songs you can listen to🤭💜
Cont... Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Wild flower is the title track from his 1st album Indigo. It's my fav song. RM wrecked us bad. I cried reading the lyrics my 1st read through. Damn, RM! It hurts that he felt this way. Dang it. This brings me back to what he said at Festa Dinner 2022. Youjeen was perfect. Don't know her but she sounded great. I look forward to learning more about her. She is a 46 yo rock singer. She is part of a band. They are legends in Korea. RM is a fan of theirs. By the way he did a live on Weverse too. Not the live i was expecting. 😅Hope u can react to that as well. U can watch it here they posted it. He also did an interview which explains each song. I hope u check out the behind the scenes. Hope u check out the full album. Lots of connections with older songs. We shouldn't forget what Namjoon said : INDIGO is his diary of his 20's (of those 4 years). He said this album is born from his feelings at that time. 😭 This ALBUM gives us an insight on HOW Namjoon felt during those years. Hope u watch the explanation vid by Bookish Theories. That period in time(pandemic) is so complicated. We are still hearing echoes from it to this day in their new music. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Teresa Nike said on 12/2/22 When I watched the Festa dinner I felt this break was more for RM . The whole group needs it to find themselves but I felt RM needed more and to go back to being Kim Nam-Joon then he can come back to being RM with a renewed energy . I think he saying he lost his identity people only think of him as RM , he had to only think of RM and BTS but that not the only part of him he is Kim Nam-Joon as well, he can be both people. That's what I got from it. I could be way off though. It's a beautiful and powerful song. So proud of him. CG. said on 12/3/22 On his MV 3:03 that's what you call "Nakhwanori" or Traditional Korean Firework festival. Joon wants to pay tribute to the Traditional Koreans who still does this. The 'Nakhwa nori' festival is a traditional fireworks display that is held in May to pray for the well-being and good year of the people. Joon clarified that is not CGI, he has to close his eyes most of the time because it's dangerous for the eyes. Hope you see this comment. Alix DriftwoodDragons said on 12/3/22 I thought it was brilliant the way he was able to capture the fact that "flower" and "firework" are the same/similar in Korean by inventing the English word "flowerwork" ... and just the whole theme of Fireworks (high in the sky, burning brightly but brief) vs wildflowers (on the ground, blooming repeatedly, able to survive harsh conditions) was brilliantly done. Youjeen's voice is AMAZING, she's the lead vocal on a Korean rock band called Cherry Filter - and those rock vocals are so well used here. It's such an emotional song. watch Explanation by Bookish Theories Teresa Nike said on 12/17/22 RM did say in Festa 2022 that the kpop industry doesn't give you time to mature, you have to put out certain kinds of music. Yes they had more freedom as far as creativity is concerned but they still had to put out music at an exhausting pace... @theresag8100 said on 1/27/24 Look up information about Korean fireworks (flower works) ~ you'll find it so interesting as those are the fireworks he's standing underneath (with his feet in the stream). These are set up on ropes across a stream or river, with technicians in punt boats lighting off twisted fibres containing magnesium and gunpowder from below. the sparks fall downwards, reflecting in the water. This song brings tears to my eyes as I think of all RM went through being the leader of the group, even though he was the 3rd oldest. He is an incredible lyricist, having over 100 credits to his name. His line, "Memories of holding onto dawn's edge and spitting things out" makes me think of all the pressure he was under all the time to write and produce for the group, while trying to learn the choreography (which was hard for him) and maintain order in the group while being a good example. He was the one everyone counted on to interpret for them as he was the only one who spoke English. The only time we see RM break down and say what he was feeling in his heart and soul was during their final Fiesta 2022, where they revealed they were going to take a break from group activities and concerts and each was going to produce something on their own, before going to the military. They stressed that they would reconvene in 2025 to celebrate a special anniversary event in Busan, Korea. It was at this point that RM broke down in tears as he expressed his wish to take time to get to know who he was and what he could do once more on his own and with other artists. In this song, he is expressing his desire to have more of an ordinary life, focussing on his own interests, like art collecting, philosophy and reading. He loves nature, as you can see. Anyway, I hope you take the opportunity to delve deeper into RM's album, Indigo. He pairs up with a number of artists from different genres. All stars in their own rights. Have fun exploring RM! 💜 @aishwaryaahirrao said on 2/27/24 Namjoon struggling dealing with fame and all its trappings, trying not to lose sight of himself while the whole world watches his every move. The fireworks/wild flower/flower work lyric actually came from his post back in 2017 titled 불꽃놀이the Korean title of "Wild Flower," which rhymes with (firework). He said, "Perhaps in our lives we need wild flowers [ 들꽃; deulkkot]-rather than flames [불꽃; bulkkot] or cherry blossoms [ 벚꽃; beotkkot]- in bloom, tranquilly." It's flower work because wildflowers are like fire works, they spread through the field just like how fireworks spread through the sky except Namjoon is saying he wants to live as a calm wildflower rather than a flashy quickly disappearing firework. So instead of living like fire flowers that is brilliant but would quickly disappear, namjoon would like to live more like wildflowers that are calm and tranquil. He used 불꽃 wordplay in prev work too Him wanting a life like a tranquil wild flower instead of a flashy firework that is quick to burn out. He always paints such a personal and powerful image. @brionyfakatou1620 said on 8/23/24 RM is one of the main songwriter's in BTS, so yes, he wrote this song. As he said in the lyrics, Poetry is his one and only strength that has protected him so far. (Even if ARMY doesn’t believe that is his only strength) This is a song about how he started out as a lowly flower in a field of wildflowers, but he wanted to go to the sky so he turned himself into a firework. Unfortunately, in doing so he lost his identity and he didn’t enjoy burning in the sky the way he thought he would. So now he wants to find a compromise between himself the flower and himself the firework and be a flowerwork. It makes even more sense when you realize that in Korean the word for firework is bool kkot (불꽃). Literally translated as Fire Flower. @eileencritchley4630 said on 8/23/24 Youjeen came out of retirement at RM's request to be on the track. She's was the front woman for the South korean Rock Band 'Cherry Filter'. Oh and RM produced the whole album Indigo which this song a track from each one is very different. He says it's a walk through his 20's. The also got Anderson Paak to agree to on one track and also invited Erykah Badu to be on another of the songs on his album and she agreed.
My favorite Jimin song is "Alone". My favorite vocal line songs, " the Untold Truth" , " house of cards". All BTS, " Your eyes tell", " Bulletproof: the Enternal", "let me know", " blue and grey".
I think the most popular member depends on each country or continent. Recently i would say it's Jk cuz his album broke so many records and he did great promotions so he was heard more worldwide + he sang in the world cup .
A lot of good lives get blocked which sucks because i love those reactions the most. Idk if you have a patreon but i def recommend one of those for blocked content. I know id subscribe. I enjoy your reactions and getting uncut ones is better :)
KIM is their last name. Koreans are introduces with their last name then first. As long as their solo albums are theirs and not included as BTS, they cuss a bit to vent out to HATERS. FYI, V is Certified the most handsome Man/Face in the WORLD 7 years in a row.
OH thanks for letting me know it’s their last names!! Also that’s good to know! Yes I heard he was certified as the most handsome!! I am not surprised! 😍✨
Jhope hobi is our sunshine and Jin is our moon our moon(Jin) was the first one that came back from the military with the sun(jhope) coming out after also in Jin’s live performance of moon a earth came down and he hugged at as if he was the moon and army was earth💜💜💜
In Jin’s solo song astronaut(before he enlisted) he’s an alien that crash landed on earth and a little girl he end up connecting with (she represents army) and he didn’t want to leave the girl as he spent time with her and was her “friend” and in the end of the video he drew what was home for him which was on earth with the little girl and 6 revolving stars(the members)
I had no clue Wild flower had a MV because the color coded version came up first😭 SO I’ll react to that music video in my next BTS reaction whether I do the guide next, or more songs!! 💜🎶
55:26. I'm a Taekook bias, gurl, I GET IT!!! 🫶💜
@@shalayaB the guide next please
@@CowsRdumb Yes please!!!
ahh, ok. ty
Would love to see a reaction to the guide next
Moon is actually written for ARMY 💜 we are his earth and he's our Moon
yep yep
And this was a pretty terrible lyric vid. Looks like they just threw it in Google translate and didn’t even read the result before making the vid🙄
their music is pretty much never about a girl/someone romantically. awake was about how jin felt inadequate predebut/early post-debut, because he (felt he) wasn't as talented as the other members (coming in with zero experience & learning everything as a trainee), hence the line about "holding tightly to six flowers" - the flowers representing the members. and moon, like someone else already commented, was for/about army. 💜
also i'm sure you'll like any song better after seeing an actual performance, trust me!
ps. rm's wildflower has an mv, with captions...
Thanks for letting me know the actual meaning of awake!! That’s sad he didn’t feel good enough at first😔 Yes I tried to add a live performance in this video for v, but it got blocked so I had to cut it out😭 also I had no clue wild flower had a music video, so I’ll react to that in the next BTS reaction!!
domodachi is from RM’s recent album Right Place, Wrong Person. its a very experimental project. the album blends elements of hiphop, jazz, psychedelic rock, and r&b together. its one of my favorite albums ever. even outside of kpop. like this project blows past the box of kpop and dares to reshape and innovate hiphop as a genre in itself.
I totally agree. I'm obsessed with this album. RPWP is an absolute masterpiece in my humble opinion.
I am obsessed with Right Place Wrong Person. I agree, it's one of the best album ever.
It's an album you have to listen from top to bottom. 🤌🤌🤌
I think it's safe to say that we all thought "oh shes not ready"while watching her reaction to "Stigma"
Moon is such a masterpiece. You should check out V's Tiny Desk. It is incredible. Impossible to not fall in love with him while watching it.
Also, that's his own hand in the jacket on the mannequin lol
I’ll put that on my list to check out!! Also omg no way it was his own hands LOL!?😂😱
@shalayaB lol he's really good at acting. And soooo handsome.
Jin's nickname: World Wide Handsome, Mr. Shoulders, Fake Maknae, Silver Voice, Mr. Dad Jokes, Eat Jin, Car Door Guy, etc
How did he get the nickname Mr shoulders and car door guy?! I’m interested now!😂💜
@@shalayaB He has huge shoulders. Like it's a feature that tells u it's jin and not another member. Car door guy was trending in Korea when BTS walked out to the awards show and everyone and their mom wanted to know who was the 1st guy out because he was so handsome, lol. It's a thing.
Girl its 58cm@@shalayaB
@@shalayaB actually RM, V and Jin their last name is Kim because in our Asian culture like when someone gets married on the wedding invitation we put our last name first then our first name last. For example RM he would put Kim (last name) Namjoon (first name) hope that helps 😀
@@shalayaBalso the Pink Mic guy 🙂↕️ 3J (Jhope, Jimin, and JK) call him jwan or jjyan.. it's an aegyo thing
I love all the members, but Taehyung has been my bias since the beginning😍😭
pretty much same
i will admit the first interview i saw it was yoongi because he reminded me of a cat, and then i though rm was the most handsome but once i actually learned about their personalities and voices tae is literally my twin from another planet lol
so i love him
i love all the boys though and fell more and more in love with them as time goes on but tae i just see and it's like 'hey myself' and he is an asian man who look completely different from me (though he got all the talent)
Omg I was AMAZED by him in this video 😍
I’m surprised you didn’t do a MV for Jin. I’d highly recommend doing either Epiphany or Astronaut. Both are great. Great reaction so far … I’m still through Jin right now. Excited to see your reaction to the rest.
Upppp
The Kim Line has a place in my heart, they have a range of voices that can set your mood in the right direction of emotions.
Namjoon Kim is a great leader in BTS and has beautiful dragon-like eyes that you can get lost looking at them.
Seokjin Kim has a funny dorky humor and love that we ARMY adore and respect.
Taehyung Kim has an incredible voice that can go high pitch or go to a low deep pitch that can sway you where he wants you too.
Good choices of solo songs for the three Kim men btw!
💜💜💜
moon was written for army, jin is the moon and army are the earth
I'm so surprised people even recommended domadachi, its such a niche genre that most people wouldn't be into. Lost or Come back to me would have been a better pick in my opinion sense they were the singles for the album and are way easier listens
Aww man I wish I would’ve reacted to one of his other songs too so I have more RM music to listen to, but it’s all good!❤️
Lost and Come Back To Me are both so great! And Groin!
I recommend you watch the MV for wildflower it tells the story of RM's inner struggles along with the lyrics
Domodachi actually grew on me after some listens. I went from not really vibing with it to it getting stuck in my head randomly. But I would say I feel like it listens better when you hear how each song transitions from one another in the album because some songs connect together!
Edit: also you’re such a mood with Tae, I remember this song coming out on my birthday! I surely enjoyed that lmao 💜 as a 2017 Army I enjoy seeing your journey a lot. :))
"I am the moon and ARMY is my earth" -Jin 🥺
his first album is coming up and he said in an interview that the album is like his letters to ARMY 😭 he wrote them i think when he was in the military and missing performing, missing the members and ARMY..
that man LOVES us, even his song The Astronaut was his farewell song to ARMY before enlisting
also... aye~ i suggested the kim line title. i thought you haven't read it so i was surprised to see the title of this video 😅 thank you💜
I'm shocked Epiphany by Jin and Joke by RM weren't picked lol. Awake made Jin my bias. Also i caught Rainy Days in the background of the ad lol. And realizing Awake is about how he feels when compared to the other members and how he thinks he'll never be as good as them broke me. I never rank them lol. It's just Jin as my fav and everyone else is second.
Wait! Why would one not recommend "Epiphany" for Jin? Also, I would recommend "Around the World in a Day," and "Moonchild" by RM and "Winter Bear" for V. I hope you like them.
Fun fact: "Domodachi" made it to Cillian Murphy's songs of the year list. (Don't worry it took some time for me to get used to this song from the album. Now I am madly in love with it!)
The whole Layover album is a vibe. They are all chill. My favorite song on there is "for us". I'm texting his phone. Lol.
Moon is also not really a style of music a listen to that much, but when you become an army and get attached to them and realize he is literally singing those words to you omg😭💜 it hits different lmao, so it's one of my favorite songs, not for how it sounds but for it's meaning💜
There's more masterpieces by jin like epiphany, the Astronaut, tonight, yours and his latest song "I'll be there " a pre-release single from his first album "HAPPY" which is coming in November 15TH
when you get to know their personalities it will be so hard to move on from them.. the bond between them is soo gooood❤, they are family..i love their bond so much😭❤..and As my bias is V, he is the most innocent and kind person I have ever seen and he has that smile that make you smile along with him.. and also he is the most unique person among them, you can't predict his mind.. and why he is the most biased, 1)His voice 2)his stage presence.. his expressions while on stage is insanely good and actually so comfortable to watch and 3) obviously the look as he is the most handsome man in the world for a while now and 4)his personality that make you wanna love him and got stuck on him.. that's what happened to me and he makes music similar to my music taste.. so he was never ever bias wrecked.. idk now I miss them and their run bts episodes😭😭😭😭
I totally feel the same way and can relate about members I initially didnt pay so much attention to, suddenly snucking up on me 😂. I'm a 2022 ARMY and getting into each of their solo releases made me just love and appreciate every single one of them individually even more. Suga might be my bias but I feel like if they were members of different groups, they'd all be my biases from each of them. They each are all just so damn good and excel in what they do best 😭. BTS truly just a different level and a once in a life time group and I am so glad they get a long well and love each other. 😭💜🥹
Oh and definitely do the Guide next please!!
Yes, pls do the BTS Guide by Taylor Mari next. Loving your reactions so far! Can’t wait for the next BTS reaction. 💜
My bias started with RM, then V, always Suga. JK at times. Girl he had his foot pic in the Type 1 book he released.
Your reaction to Domodachi is understandable don't worry! It's definitely niche and the video is quite disorienting. I feel like you would have liked the song Groin and the video for it better. I wouldn't say it's anything demonic though. Just to provide a little context, the MV's storyline is about a kid who is suddenly thrust into adult life too early, overwhelmed, not knowing who to trust, and escaping it. It's about perseverance and trusting real friends to help you, and keeping that loyalty to your real friends in the end. Domodachi is actually a combination of two Japanese words Domo which means "Thanks" and Tomodachi which translates to "friend"
Wait I just realized Groin has cussing too 😭
And V, it's V, that voice and character is sexy. He's a great actor, and yes his voice is so hot!
His voice is everything!!😩😍
He acted in a k drama
idk if someone has said this already but "KIM" isn't their first names It's actually their last names. In korea, last names are written before your first name. So with Kim namjoon for example, Kim is his last name and Namjoon is his first name. Same with Kim seokjin and Kim Taehyung. So their first names are Namjoon, Seokjin and Taehyung while they all have the same "Kim" last name.
1:20 I don't know if anyone already said it yet, Kim is their last name. Last name first, just like in Japanese 😅
In many countries:
first name = given name of a person
last name = family's name.
In Korea, family = first.
Then, the person's given name.
Example: RM's name is
김 넘준 (Kim Namjoon).
His friends call him Namjoon because that's the name he was given, while Kim is the name of his family. When he introduces himself, he says, "Hello! I'm Kim Namjoon." He's first telling you who is family is, then who he is.
Or, in idol context, he says, "Hi! I'm BTS' RM." He's telling you his team name first, then his given name.
Korean society focuses more on being a member of a collective group, than in the West where we focus more on individualism. Neither is right or wrong. It's just a different approach to life. 😊
I hope that makes sense.
Jin's nickname is Jin because his actual name is Seokjin. He's generally WWH (Worldwide Handsome) or Jin Hit. Jinnie or Sepkjinnie. Less often, he's the Pink Princess. 🙃🤭
Yeah, RM is the member who curses the most... in English hahahah Suga and Hobi also curse a lot in their music but mostly in korean so is not as obvious to us non korean speakers😂
edit: just wanted to share the fun fact that at his solo concert, Agust D/Suga had a whole ass 3 min remix of a curse korean word that now every army knows lmaoo
And don't feel bad for not liking some songs, i love love love all the members so much and support them in all their creative decisions but i have to admit that those decisions not always align with my taste hahah😂 but Domodachi is a song that has grown on me, definitely. And also, if you liked the feature on that song (Little Simz) you should totally check out more of her music, some of my faves are No Merci, Venom, Gorilla, Flowers, hope you give her music a chance uwu
Jin solos gonna do it for me everytime
I love his songs!!💜
@ yes they are so good gonna put me in my feels
wild flower has a music video
I didn’t even realize until I read the comments😭 I’ll react to it in my next BTS reaction!!
@@shalayaB ty
Jinnie our Moon 💜💜He love ARMY so much💜💜
New sub. Bec of Bts Txt and Enhypen 💜💜💜💜
Aww thank you for subscribing!!💜💜
Some ARMYs think V stands out in ot7 content more than when he's solo. And some think otherwise , and some think he stands out in both . I'm the last type of ARMYs, he's always catching my attention.
He is best in both ,I'm not a fan of jazz music but not when it's taetae ,,he is incredible and his album layover is my all time fav album ,,al through I love his all solo songs too like Inner child,winter bear ,4 o'clock,sweet night,Christmas tree,scenery, etc etc
36:52 it’s his own hand sis 🥲🥲🥲 man has insane chemistry with his own hand 😩😭
They are great right? By the way. They are known as the Kim line because their last (family)name is Kim, not their first name. In Asia they always give their family name first and first/ personal name second.
Giiiirrrlll you are OT7 which means you love all of them. You can't choose a bias. 💜💜
Well Taehyung actually has a pretty good amount of line and screentime as well in bts MVs (not in 2013 tho💀) . You can't miss him he's everywhere 😂
I vote for the guide now 💜
Can I just say, the idea of ‘ranking’ the members is genuinely anathema to true ARMY. You might like one’s voice the most, or think another is the best looking, or whatever, but no matter biases ARMY love them all equally.
Also, it’s important to differentiate between BTS songs performed by a solo member, and the music each individual creates as a solo artist, where the member has complete creative control over the sound, vibe and aesthetic they want to put out.
taehyung's my bias and jimin and yoongi are my wreckers so i get you girl 😭
Omg yes!!! I love them so much already ahhhh!!😩
Girl said slow songs aren't her thing 😂 not with bts . Literally used to be like you just for V to end up being my bias .
LOL i promise i used to not like slow songs as much as I do now with BTS songs!! I’m surprised myself😂💜
@shalayaB damn imaa picky listener but not when it's BTS, those 7 normal boys are really magician,,I love everything they do,, (I never thought that I will fall for musicians like this but i did)😂
Jin live is 🥹💜💜💜💜 react the live perf.
That was V's other arm in Singularity. Stigma has a live performance.
RM has not gone by Rap Monster for the last seven years, it’s just RM or Namjoon if you want to use his real name.
BTS V Vocals! My favorite in the world!!!!
So far we still have the same vibe. You and I. So far just commenting on your Jin selections.
Loved it! RM's Domodachi is from his latest album RPWP, but it is NOT a K-pop album at all...I would personally categorize it more like alternative. His first album is Indigo but before that it was his mixed tape Mono which is fantastic too. RM is an exceptional artist in his own right. I am RM biased too, can you tell? V is very seductive and jazzy with his voice and the visuals enhance it. Jin's vocals are also out of this world as well. His songs would all be an OST to my life drama...lol! I love them all! They are all sooo unique and talented. Trust me, I found BTS through J-hope and then I was wrecked by JK, then V, then Jin...Jimin always drives me wild. At first I couldn't tell Yoongi and JK apart...lol! I went through Yoongi and RM as my wreckers...but then I went back to J-hope as my #1 bias for a long long time. RM fought his way as my #2 bias...I am double biased with 5 wreckers.
I wouldn’t have recommended Domodachi here. I love it, but almost always listen to it in the context of the whole album, rarely on its own. Th e album Right Place Wrong Person is an absolute masterpiece!
The way I get Goosebumps everytime I listen to Jin's and Jimin's High notes. I sometimes endup crying for no reason listening to them. But seriously, 😅 believe me , I am Rm biased. But the other 6 wrecks be so HARD on every comeback, every song , every performance. That I stopped choosing bias now 😂.
I AM OT7 . That the end.
Better to be honest than a grifter. I enjoy your reactions keep it up!
Thank you! I was worried people would be mad, but I’m glad you understand!🫶🏽
Kim is the last name. Most songs BTS sings are to ARMY.
PS. It's okay to be OT7. One member per day.
In bts songs V stands out, got enough screen time as well as lines may be you didnt notice him bcz you didnt know him well
Glad to see you again! Ooh, good choices for songs.
You got the interpretation for persona spot on. The album is inspired by Carl Jung, who says the persona is the mask we show the world, so RM was questioning what kind of image/impact he has on the world, what’s his “real self”, is he even good enough to be in his position of fame, and in the end reached his conclusion. Wild flower is gorgeous (I love the way he called back to Persona with “Where’s your soul? Where’s your dream?”). Please watch the music video at some point, it’s so beautiful!
Domodachi is my least fav on the new album sound wise 🙈 and it’s also still hard for me to understand. So I get you, thanks for your honesty! It means “thank you friend” in Japanese. I think the chaos in the sound is on purpose, especially in combo with the mv I think it’s a kid getting lost in the adult world (= music industry??) and trying to escape, but once he’s out realising he misses his friend who he left in there and diving back in again? And the lyrics talk about friendship too. Idk though. Little Simz is great btw, you should check out her music too! She’s a British rapper.
You probably heard, but Jin’s coming out with an album next week, so exciting!
I know a lot of people have a bias, but I truly could not choose which one. I think they all have individual unique talents and styles and I like them all equally. Every time I think one is my bias, I watch another song and I change, so I have accepted I have 7 biases and am truly OT7.
1:18 I might heard it wrong since I'm not a native English speaker, but you said "all of their first names are Kim". In Korea (as well as China or Japan, for example), the surname comes first. So, they share the same last name which is Kim, and their first names are Namjoon, Seokjin and Taehyung. Due to historical reasons, the surname Kim is the most common. Other idols who have Kim as their surname are Hongjoong (Ateez), Seungmin (Stray Kids), Jennie (BlackPink), Mingyu (Seventeen) etc.
Fun fact: In TXT, four members share the surname Choi (pronounced as Chwe) - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu andTaehyun.
Don't take this comment as offensive I just wanted to clear things up since it's a common mistake. Thank you for your videos 💜
V is a beatiful and talented human being
If you get to know V's unique side and human and warm personality, you can't help but like him.
no.. Run BTS, the one you're singing during Persona, is part of Proof album, it's their anthology album released in 2022, before they went on break
Map of the Soul: Persona was released in 2019 and Map Of The Soul 7 was released in 2020.. they went BIG in that one cause they planned to have a massive world tour and go on break to do their military service, in 2020....
but covid happened, world tour got canceled and they stayed back until 2022... supposedly, they're now back together and touring 😢
that video doesn't have a very good translation but moon is a song jin wrote for the fans (armys) ❤
Wait why didn't anyone recommend Epiphany by jin? It literally is the best one😭. And moon is a masterpiece, an emotion, I love it to death.
Surprised you don’t like Domodachi, I think it’s a fun song to listen to.
21:44 run bts is from the album proof. songs you've reacted from map of the soul until now are black swan and ugh (and now moon and persona)
loving all these reactions ❤
i think you need to react to a guide now to have a glimpse of their personalities and the group dynamics and some infos abt the group.
plus jin will be releasing an album called "happy" this nov 15 it would be nice if you will catch and react to that. he also already released the pre release single "i'll be there" with an mv and a live clip performance 🥹
RM has made me cry with the ways in which he views life, which are imbued in his lyrics; Jin has made me cry off the sheer melancholy that his crystalline vocals can achieve; and Tae...whew, the love of my life right there! (SHALAYA GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AGAIN!) Tae's made me cry anytime his vocals reach my eardrums. I don't know if it's the richness of his tone or the feelings he can evoke in me or both or more, but any time I've listened to a Tae solo for the first time, I've cried! He's the vocalist my soul's been searching for and I wouldn't change a thing! As for your next video, I would say to watch the guide just to get a bit of a deeper look with their backstories. When I decided to dive head first into the BTS rabbit hole, I plunged myself straight into their variety show, Run BTS (not to be confused with their song by the same name), and their 2020 COVID staycation show, In The Soop, and I knew I loved these guys within a month - actually a week - of knowing them! It's just too easy to love them! I also binged all of the music they had out at the time...they were my escape/distraction for a long time as I was trying to heal from something, but eventually - probably within a year and a half - I began loving them more holistically: rather than an escape, they were people I knew I was grateful for because of their easy relatability, authenticity, and for reconnecting me with my love of art (amongst other things). Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble, I guess I'm just trying to say that everyone's journey into BTS is different and I figure it's best to do what you feel is best to continue to enjoy it while also staying genuine!
imo Domodachi is very deep to understand it seems to touch on fake friends but also those in power wanting control cause him and his friends to cry.
so i think its very cryptic on purpose and possibly only artists that size understand what he means. because artists globally are fighting to be independent and even if they are like bts are since the label doesnt restrict them they still get censored and restrictions outside of their label like tv, interviews, music shows, award shows, radio etc not due to their label at all but due to not paying for the exposure and racism in western/english speaking majority countries music markets rejecting non English music.
bts barely get radio play. their interviews are full of dumb questions because those interviewers and their higher ups dont take bts seriously and in korea its classism as bts and their label were poor and its said you cant climb up high from the bottom unless youre with major labels.
even when bts are the biggest group and bighit is big due to bts and hybe was created in 2021 due to bts theyre all looked down on seen as cheaters lied about smeared in news because the big labels must stay on top the big labels control the media and tv networks so of course theyre gonna pay for bts and anyone in relation to be spoken bad about.
"mf wanna take control" "all my friends crying in a row"
"step in the place they yell go figure" "greet them with respect when you see them" etc
its more expressed in groin as well because bts get it at all levels from media tv and corporations to fandoms amd general public to the government trying to use them etc
since you mentioned being Christian figured this bit would be important to mention bts and korea in general isnt religion forward most arent religious or beliefs in ancestors higher powers but not aligned to specific religions but there are catholic, Christian, Muslim & Buddhist koreans some idols follow these some dont some tap into all some have family who are but dont personally practice etc
rm specifically has said hes atheist however over the years hes been seen to study and learn about many religions which is why you should react to on music video by bts not the kinetic one but the regular music video, but my point is hes open minded and has seemingly tried different religions to see if he fits any most recently being Buddhism and the monk similar to a priest has a confession like conversation and is not supposed to tell anyone about it and the monk spoke to the media about everything rm said.
which breaks my heart im personally not religions but i grew up catholic and it was things like that that push people away. instead of guiding by example those around you or the person who youre supposed to speak and confide in breaks your trust ruins the relationship with any higher powers.
so id avoid God Rap by rm this is before the public betrayal however it is a song many religious armys find slightly offensive depending on how religious you are and its not like he targets anyone or any religion he very clearly respects religious people but in that song he was expressing himself possibly through anger and wanting something to believe in but being late down in other areas etc so the wording may upet you down the road and they do use God in a expression way in multiple songs so just want you to be aware of that so its not as shocking when it happens.
also other things theyve said and done in the past which they apologized for and grew and matured whether it be religious, culturally, racially, sexist etc they have grown into better men so when/if you come across things that make you uncomfortable make sure to put into perspective of the year it was released or said and the overall internet at the time. korea as a whole has a long way to go in so many areas but kpop wants to be global so they have to learn the hard way when things they do or say arent appropriate. but in bts case their fandom is so big due to their real growth in all areas as much as anti fans want to claim otherwise there has been real growth. but yeah Domodachi feels very cryptic but direct at the same time and feels different from their other hater songs feels very much attacking a bigger fish. youd have to know all bts history to really pick up on it and even then you feel like youre reaching. but bts have done this before and fan theories were right so it is possible with the context of their lyrics previously what theyvs said to us directly on live streams and in conerts and things we know about the industry and how it treated them the last 10 years. sorry for writing so much.
please react to on music video and bts hardships 2021 by xceleste
Okay for nicknames let me give you the rundown
RM- Namu/Joonie (from his real name Namjoon)
Suga- Yoongles/lil meow meow😂 (not everyone uses these tbh we just call him Yoongi which is his real name, the lil meow meow is because yoongi is very cat like)
Jhope- Hobi as you know
Jin- Seokjinnie/Jinnie is what we normally call him
Jungkook- kookie/jungkookie/kookoo (it's a lot for Jk tbh cause he's our baby hehehe😂, well not a baby anymore😭)
V- Tae Tae/ Taehyungie/(Taebear is what I call him)
Jimin- (oh this one is a lot 😭) jiminie/ mini/ mochi/ chim chim/ little prince (from the Korean side)/ an angel😭
Omg I love these nicknames!! I love how jungkook’s name sounds like for a baby since he’s the maknae!💜😂
Haha, RM, i like persona al lot, wild flower for me is ok. I like Domadochi because I am creepy.
You should react to RM's mixtape RM, Mono and Indigo album.
Stigma and Singularity live is sooooo goood. Please react to it!
I originally posted this video and i had my reaction to stigma live, but it got copyrighted, so I had to cut that portion out😭 I LOVED his performance of stigma live!!✨✨
my first bias in bts is v but after 6 mounth of 2021 i became ot7 bias and in the latest mounth of same year i beacame suga bias and since then he still my bias till now😊😊
I LOVE YOUR ENHYPEN AND BTS REACTION THERE MY MAIN GROUPS I CANT WAIT FOR MORE REACTIONSSS
Aww thank you!!❤️
JIN EPIPHANY !!!! best song imo
I just subscribed,love your reaction, check out V's tiny desk, singularity live,stigma live ,it hits differently,you also need to check out his OST for Kdrama called sweet night and for BTS reaction try 2021 fiesta,or Pied Piper, dimple, telepathy,blackswan.
Once you get into them more and decide on a bias... you can have more than one. 😂 I have 3! My biases are Jimin (ult), Yoongi (ult) and Hobi. Everyone else is a bias wrecker. You could be an OT7 or based on this video a vmin bias (V and Jimin).
(I am incapable of having a single bias in any group I stan 🤣)
Kim is the family name- in Korea, family name is first.
Singularity and Rainy Days are a couple of my favorites- even if you don't react to it, try Winter Bear. I think you'll like it so much.
ot7 bias is a thing- some of us just can't pick! We don't have to.
Since you are like the rest of us, just say your bias is OT7 since it is impossible to choose. They are all too talented. 😊
V is my bias for slow, moody songs, along with Jin--- which are very much my primary vibe.
Jimin is my run BTS variety show, dance, and performance bias.
JK is my live stream bias.
Jin is my ballad bias.
Suga is my solo concert bias and emotional rap bias.
J-hope is is tied with jimin for performance bias.
RM is my lyric bias and rap flow. I would love to sit down and discuss anything with him.
Also, thanks for being a great example. I am also Christian and don't cuss or listen to music with swearing however I have to be honest, since I got into BTS two years ago, I have been listening to all their stuff even if they cuss which I have never done before. Not sure why I am giving them a free pass when I never have before with anyone else. I also try to avoid the songs where the swearing is excessive (pretty much just a few of RM's songs). That said, I really like domodachi and almost all of RM's latest album even though the swearing is far above my normal comfort level. I think it is a masterpiece. But you holding the line is very inspirational to me and is a good reminder to me to be more vigilant.
You should check out Stigma and Singularity live. We need to watch your reaction😂
You need to check out V's tiny desk,you would love it.

Cont...
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Wild flower is the title track from his 1st album Indigo. It's my fav song. RM wrecked us bad. I cried reading the lyrics my 1st read through. Damn, RM! It hurts that he felt this way. Dang it. This brings me back to what he said at Festa Dinner 2022. Youjeen was perfect. Don't know her but she sounded great. I look forward to learning more about her. She is a 46 yo rock singer. She is part of a band. They are legends in Korea. RM is a fan of theirs. By the way he did a live on Weverse too. Not the live i was expecting. 😅Hope u can react to that as well. U can watch it here they posted it. He also did an interview which explains each song. I hope u check out the behind the scenes. Hope u check out the full album. Lots of connections with older songs. We shouldn't forget what Namjoon said : INDIGO is his diary of his 20's (of those 4 years). He said this album is born from his feelings at that time. 😭 This ALBUM gives us an insight on HOW Namjoon felt during those years. Hope u watch the explanation vid by Bookish Theories. That period in time(pandemic) is so complicated. We are still hearing echoes from it to this day in their new music. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

When I watched the Festa dinner I felt this break was more for RM . The whole group needs it to find themselves but I felt RM needed more and to go back to being Kim Nam-Joon then he can come back to being RM with a renewed energy . I think he saying he lost his identity people only think of him as RM , he had to only think of RM and BTS but that not the only part of him he is Kim Nam-Joon as well, he can be both people. That's what I got from it. I could be way off though. It's a beautiful and powerful song. So proud of him.

On his MV 3:03 that's what you call "Nakhwanori" or Traditional Korean Firework festival. Joon wants to pay tribute to the Traditional Koreans who still does this. The 'Nakhwa nori' festival is a traditional fireworks display that is held in May to pray for the well-being and good year of the people. Joon clarified that is not CGI, he has to close his eyes most of the time because it's dangerous for the eyes. Hope you see this comment.

I thought it was brilliant the way he was able to capture the fact that "flower" and "firework" are the same/similar in Korean by inventing the English word "flowerwork" ... and just the whole theme of Fireworks (high in the sky, burning brightly but brief) vs wildflowers (on the ground, blooming repeatedly, able to survive harsh conditions) was brilliantly done. Youjeen's voice is AMAZING, she's the lead vocal on a Korean rock band called Cherry Filter - and those rock vocals are so well used here. It's such an emotional song.

RM did say in Festa 2022 that the kpop industry doesn't give you time to mature, you have to put out certain kinds of music. Yes they had more freedom as far as creativity is concerned but they still had to put out music at an exhausting pace...

Look up information about Korean fireworks (flower works) ~ you'll find it so interesting as those are the fireworks he's standing underneath (with his feet in the stream). These are set up on ropes across a stream or river, with technicians in punt boats lighting off twisted fibres containing magnesium and gunpowder from below. the sparks fall downwards, reflecting in the water.
This song brings tears to my eyes as I think of all RM went through being the leader of the group, even though he was the 3rd oldest. He is an incredible lyricist, having over 100 credits to his name. His line, "Memories of holding onto dawn's edge and spitting things out" makes me think of all the pressure he was under all the time to write and produce for the group, while trying to learn the choreography (which was hard for him) and maintain order in the group while being a good example. He was the one everyone counted on to interpret for them as he was the only one who spoke English. The only time we see RM break down and say what he was feeling in his heart and soul was during their final Fiesta 2022, where they revealed they were going to take a break from group activities and concerts and each was going to produce something on their own, before going to the military. They stressed that they would reconvene in 2025 to celebrate a special anniversary event in Busan, Korea. It was at this point that RM broke down in tears as he expressed his wish to take time to get to know who he was and what he could do once more on his own and with other artists.
In this song, he is expressing his desire to have more of an ordinary life, focussing on his own interests, like art collecting, philosophy and reading. He loves nature, as you can see. Anyway, I hope you take the opportunity to delve deeper into RM's album, Indigo. He pairs up with a number of artists from different genres. All stars in their own rights. Have fun exploring RM! 💜

Namjoon struggling dealing with fame and all its trappings, trying not to lose sight of himself while the whole world watches his every move.
The fireworks/wild flower/flower work lyric actually came from his post back in 2017 titled 불꽃놀이the Korean title of "Wild Flower," which rhymes with (firework). He said, "Perhaps in our lives we need wild flowers [ 들꽃; deulkkot]-rather than flames [불꽃; bulkkot] or cherry blossoms [ 벚꽃; beotkkot]- in bloom, tranquilly."
It's flower work because wildflowers are like fire works, they spread through the field just like how fireworks spread through the sky except Namjoon is saying he wants to live as a calm wildflower rather than a flashy quickly disappearing firework. So instead of living like fire flowers that is brilliant but would quickly disappear, namjoon would like to live more like wildflowers that are calm and tranquil. He used 불꽃 wordplay in prev work too
Him wanting a life like a tranquil wild flower instead of a flashy firework that is quick to burn out. He always paints such a personal and powerful image.

RM is one of the main songwriter's in BTS, so yes, he wrote this song. As he said in the lyrics, Poetry is his one and only strength that has protected him so far. (Even if ARMY doesn’t believe that is his only strength) This is a song about how he started out as a lowly flower in a field of wildflowers, but he wanted to go to the sky so he turned himself into a firework. Unfortunately, in doing so he lost his identity and he didn’t enjoy burning in the sky the way he thought he would. So now he wants to find a compromise between himself the flower and himself the firework and be a flowerwork. It makes even more sense when you realize that in Korean the word for firework is bool kkot (불꽃). Literally translated as Fire Flower.

Youjeen came out of retirement at RM's request to be on the track. She's was the front woman for the South korean Rock Band 'Cherry Filter'.
Oh and RM produced the whole album Indigo which this song a track from each one is very different. He says it's a walk through his 20's. The also got Anderson Paak to agree to on one track and also invited Erykah Badu to be on another of the songs on his album and she agreed.
Mama army colombiana , mi bias es jhope te recomiendo ver también sus presentaciones en vivo
there are two albums with ‘map of the soul’ in the name and run bts is in neither of them, run bts is two years younger than those albums
Guide please💜
YAY SLAY IM SO READY FOR THIS VIDEO 🫶❤️❤️❤️💃‼️
My favorite Jimin song is "Alone". My favorite vocal line songs, " the Untold Truth" , " house of cards". All BTS, " Your eyes tell", " Bulletproof: the Enternal", "let me know", " blue and grey".
I think the most popular member depends on each country or continent. Recently i would say it's Jk cuz his album broke so many records and he did great promotions so he was heard more worldwide + he sang in the world cup .
you dont know how much i was waiting for this
💜🫶🏽
U should have reacted to V love me again...
The other songs I listened to were requested more, BUT I’ll make sure to check out that solo song by him in the future!!💜💜
A lot of good lives get blocked which sucks because i love those reactions the most. Idk if you have a patreon but i def recommend one of those for blocked content. I know id subscribe. I enjoy your reactions and getting uncut ones is better :)
Love your reactions ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!❤️❤️
Please react to song JOKE and DO YOU by RM , this is soooo good 😊
KIM is their last name. Koreans are introduces with their last name then first.
As long as their solo albums are theirs and not included as BTS, they cuss a bit to vent out to HATERS.
FYI, V is Certified the most handsome Man/Face in the WORLD 7 years in a row.
OH thanks for letting me know it’s their last names!! Also that’s good to know! Yes I heard he was certified as the most handsome!! I am not surprised! 😍✨
Please react too Jin new album "HAPPY" very recommended ❤
Jhope hobi is our sunshine and Jin is our moon our moon(Jin) was the first one that came back from the military with the sun(jhope) coming out after also in Jin’s live performance of moon a earth came down and he hugged at as if he was the moon and army was earth💜💜💜
In Jin’s solo song astronaut(before he enlisted) he’s an alien that crash landed on earth and a little girl he end up connecting with (she represents army) and he didn’t want to leave the girl as he spent time with her and was her “friend” and in the end of the video he drew what was home for him which was on earth with the little girl and 6 revolving stars(the members)
Kim is actually their LAST name. In most Asian countries, they do the last name first.
