Unfortunately Cypher Melody Live got blocked! When it gave me the option to trim it out to keep the video I realise it cut well into 'Blood Sweat & Tears' as well. I'm working on restoring the full reaction and then I'll have to manually trim it. Thanks for the patience guys!
Ahh sorry Knox that we said it should be okay to do but It’s been okay for other reactors! Could you maybe put the cypher medley reaction on patreon? It was so good!
Oh damn I haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet, I don’t have the patreon either. I really wanted to see your reactions to blood sweat and tears, on, and the cypher. Oh well, sad day 😔
not a lot of reactors get blood, sweat and tears. a lot got baffled or confused towards the end. i think it's because you were able to zero in on the paintings and correctly interpreted them and they guided you throughout the video. and you actually also got both the visual and the lyrics. it also helped that you already have an idea about the kind of artists BTS are. kudos to you for not needing explanation videos. also, rap heavy albums are in the first few releases (dark&wild would be one of the best resources to listen to). thank you for giving them a chance.
He probably goes through the explanations prior to reacting. But either way that requires time and still needs brain to understand BS&T so truly Knox is smart.
As a Art History major from Johns Hopkins University, who is now working as a scientist working to preserve Library of Congress collection items, I am impressed that a rapper knows so much about art. Well done!
My new mission in life is for you and RM to get together and have a conversation! Mr IQ 148 meet Mr ‘assuming you have an insane IQ’ aswell. Because DAMN. That Blood, Sweat and Tears reaction was unreal! You should clip that Knox. No one has done that as well as you! How!?
Imagine that Bang PD invite Knox to Hybe... And when he got there, RM, Suga and Bang PD already waiting for him. And then Bang PD say, "let's have a talk about how you can breakdown our theory in one go. I like to work with you to make a new theory so our fans will go wild and addicted to us."😂 I think this will be interesting😂 The brain of Hybe production team will be overworked because of their confusing and interesting theories😂😂
Knox, once again you remind me why I love your channel. You are the only one I have seen who GOT this video and its subtext/meaning. Love it! Also love Professor Knox!
i love the way your brain works man. you literally deduced the whole concept of mv in a few minutes and then there is me who couldnt even understand the references in 5 years.
RM would be so happy to see someone breakdown bs&t so intelligently and correctly. Personally, I take the ‘relationship’ aspect in a more metaphorical way as in the loss of their youth, innocence etc rather than a typical ‘love’ type of relationship. But of course you got that theory also 😂🔥 You should put this up as it’s own reaction, it’s too good Knox!
No joke Knox. Seriously clip that BS&T reaction part and post separately! The fact that you did that when you said your brain was not on 100%! You need to milk it! That would blow up my friend!
timestamps: 1:17 blood sweat & tears 31:50 freestyle 40:40 ON kinetic manifesto unfortunately the cypher medley live got cut out but nevertheless thanks for the amazing reaction and breakdown Knox, much respect for being so open minded and genuine
This was f**king awesome! I am passionately in love with the artistry of BTS, loved how you clicked with Blood Sweat and Tears instantly! I’m so impressed! I just came here because I saw it was an hour long and we just went into another lockdown here and working on the frontlines is stressful enough outside of a lockdown let alone in one, so I needed a long BTS reaction to get lost in. And boy am I glad I did! I am subscribing now 💜✨
They went through another really hard time in early 2018 due to the tremendous pressures and fears from suddenly blowing up worldwide. Also in a blink of an eye they became their nation's representatives and pride, every word and action of them broadcasted and exaggerated. That's why all of them were really exhausted, depressed and seriously considered disbanding. Thankfully they decided not to for their fans (You can see them confessing this while crying bitterly at the acceptance speech of MAMA2018). This song, ON, sings of their fears, pains and resolution to overcome them in their own way. It's so cool and painful at the same time to see them singing "Bring the Pain On"..
*_YO ARMY!_* I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO MENTION NAMJOON IN TWT AND WEVERSE AND SHOW HIM THIS VID. *HE REALLY GOTTA WATCH KNOX'S REACTION!* *Namjoon gotta know Knox exists!* 🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoy your reactions of BTS. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to analyze their songs. It's fun to hear your interpretations! Keep doing what you do! ;) BTS is a very complex and entertaining group.
Your interpretation for BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS was phenomenal.... So proud of you Knox. You understood everything depicted in the MV so clearly. In this video Jin is the God and V is the devil. It is depicting a fight between them.
@@KnoxHill awww i always react to your videos and i do have a request because i haven't figured out what is going on actually in that MV that's why. It is ON. You reacted to Kinetic Manifesto in this video but there is one original version of it called simply as ON. I hope u will react to it and breakdown the concept behind it for all of us💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.....
Only thing he missed V under the veil, jumping off the balcony, behind the glass when J Hope shot the paint. He was part of the group and same time apart from.
Cool Knox. I'm a theology graduate and must say you hit the nail right on its head many times in your explanation of the possible double/triple entendres going on here. BTS are a multi-faceted skilled and gifted group. Love this reaction and review. You're super cool.
I heard you mentioned the situation of being in a toxic and addictive relationship which reminded me of Seesaw which is Suga’s solo song off of the BTS love Yourself Answer album. Would love to see you react to it one day.
If you wanna listen to one of their songs about the allure of fame and their battle with the temptations of fame, definitely react to Suga’s solo song, Interlude: Shadow! It’s from BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 album which interweaves a lot of Carl Jung’s theories about the “map of the soul.” I’d also recommend on of their earlier songs, I Need U-it kicked off a lot of their success and is a personal favorite of mine. Make sure to watch the Original 17+ Version (violence not sexual themes) to get the full scope and impact! Edit: in regards to I Need U, it’s also important to note that it kicks of a larger storyline that carries through many of their music videos (and short films….and a webtoon…..and a mobile game lol) so while there are definitely broader themes it touches on and there are a myriad of interpretations, it’s also important to view the characters within I Need U as characters within a larger story-they aren’t isolated, one-off archetypes that only stand to represent certain themes, but full characters that can and have been deeply analyzed as individual characters. So feel free to go to town analyzing the characters you see in I Need U (the same character we see in their MV, Run, and their short film, On Stage: Prologue) as people and theorize about their motives, lives, relationships within the universe, etc! It’s honestly so much fun to do so imo
Knox, do you have any idea what you did when you shouted out 'porrrnesian parrapio'?? I can guarantee you that every ARMY is dying laughing right now. You have to look that up 😂 You are the BEST 💜
Don’t go down in the Bangtan Universe Rabbit Hole. Their music videos are interconnected to each other. Lol. It’s a whole story. 😂 It’s quite interesting. It would be awesome if you follow it.
@@KnoxHill You are in for a wild ride. One of the craziest marketing plan I’ve ever seen. Still in awe how good their creative and marketing teams are. I guess that’s one of the benefit of debuting in a smaller company, all resources and focus was in them at that time. The Bangtan Universe was eventually explained in a form of WEBTOON and they published books or what they called notes. A Korean Drama is currently in the works based on it as well. As I’ve said, one of the craziest marketing plan I’ve seen.
You are amazing! You are the best reactor for BTS! I can’t believe you even got BST, it’s such a deep song and video. It’s what made me an ARMY, just 1 month ago. Never seen an artist like them.
Why am I noticing the black and white entrance now????? AND those black and white statues on either sides ufffffff..Man, he's the only reactor who pointed out about the painting and the entrances.....keen observation I must say ....the best reaction to bst I have ever seen!!!!
I missed this live. I never thought I would see Knox breaking down paintings, literature, and the many details in a BTS video. This is just another aspect of BTS that I love. Professor Hill in the house! Great breakdowns and enjoyable! Thanks Knox!
trying to understand BS&T hurts everyone's brains!! - your interpretations and observations are so insightful!! seriously cool, we really appreciate your genuine effort to unpack what you're watching and give it what it deserves :)
I heard the song for the first time today and I've been hooked. Dove straight into explanations, picked up Demian on Audible, and am now making the rounds of my reactors to see what they thought. :D
So background information on On - it's from their Map of the Soul: 7 album, which is based of Carl Jung's Map of the Soul psychology. Persona, Shadow, and Ego are the three big parts, but I won't pretend to understand much more. The rappers each have solo songs from the album - Intro: Persona (RM), Interlude: Shadow (Suga), and Outro: Ego (j-hope) - which I highly suggest. I think the "shadows" mentioned here and the ones in Black Swan are references to the map of the soul. It's also part of the lore of this thing called the BU - Bangtan Universe - which plays of their music vidoes, webtoons, and album notes starting with I Need U (from 2015) and gets pretty dark (for which reason I have chosen not to go into it and can't explain it for you) but I think you'd enjoy it! Edit: Blood Sweat and Tears also plays into the BU!
If at all possible, I’d love for you to post your entire Blood Sweat & Tears reaction separately-I’m really glad you posted the music break part with the statue because I love hearing your theories and thoughts about it, but hearing you talk about the music and the start of the song and seeing your reaction to the various aesthetics and symbolism would be so cool. I really wanted to watch this live but it didn’t fit into my schedule :(
Wow this guy is amazing. He explains this so well. I watched this countless times and googled for explanation. But this guy, he explains this in one go.. amazed
Not too speechless to say that your BTS vids are addictive. The more I watch the more I love every single detail of your breakdowns! Really hoping you will stick with BTS once a week as I’m dreading running out 😂😂
This is my most fave song, thanks for reacting to it. I used this in my literary imagery and symbolism class, bust my students' heads open 🤭. Turned some of them ARMYs.
I love your reactions because you pause the video to say what you think is going on. Usually, a lot of reactors talk while the video is playing and that they miss some details or some important highlights in the video. I also like the fact that you are not just reacting to their music but also the lyrics as well as the symbols used in the MV. It shows how much passionate and interested you are in knowing BTS. I'm sure Armys are happy about that. Good luck!
Agree with the comment further down about the billboard debacle and I’m back to watch someone actually respect and care about BTS’ music. I hope people can see through these industry tactics. They got so big in the first place by basically bypassing the media/industry and building this amazing fanbase. It scares the ones in power because they could actually make real change to the way artists are treated and things are run. It’s a real issue and we have to keep fighting ARMY! Fight for the underdogs and the independent artists like Knox ✊
There is a performance where everyone of them represents a greek god. Their live performances, especially the scenery and dances shock me every time again
I’m binge watching your videos. At this point I applaud you for all ur reaction videos.. so far ur my favorite reactor.. the technicalities, the lyricism, the art, the everything is on point.. applause 👏🏻!
Really appreciate your BTS reactions and full respect to you for breaking them down so nicely .....Plz put BTS - Fake Love and Fire on your list ....They're amazingggg and today's live was FAB !!!!
Epic live again Knox! I’m guessing you had to cut the medley (what’s going on Hybe?! Don’t get that as it’s been okay for others 🤷♂️) but I think you’ve cut half of the bs&t reaction too by accident? That reaction was incredible btw!
I missed the live cos I was travelling but, wow, your invite into Blood Sweat and Tears was awesome. I have a challenge for you for BTS lyrics, Ddaeng. If you figure out the amazing wordplay in this one I will be absolutely gobsmacked!
Yooooooooooo, that freestyyyyle🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 your flow is fantastic😉 I especially loved the "Don't cross me, I'm not christian." Oooooohhh lesgoooo. I hope to become like you!
Hi Knox I recommend that you still watch ON the MV. Major Biblical references in there. I like Bapsae even though there isn't an MV per say but the societal and political criticisms is on point and is relatable. You are amazing!! Love this channel
No, i believe it is a quote from Hermann Hesse 's book, Stsppenwolf, its in reference to the Magic Tbeatre , "For Madmen Only". The sign above the mirage like door in the mist.
I'm sitting here shouting yes yes yes . I just love all the imagery in 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'. Will you notice the scars of the wings severed from his back? Is the quote from 'Carl Jung'?
I'm somewhat starting to see another meaning for bst like some artist have a relationship with music or their career and sometimes it can lead to a really toxic state and those who are tempted follow in the chase of success and building a community are willing to, blindly, risk losing themselves. Meanwhile, staying humble and grounded will protect your authenticity and help you gradually find understanding of others and yourself.
blood sweat & tears reactions are usually one of my least favorites to watch because no one really gets what they’re trying to portray in it but you!! jesus christ another banger.. the way you break down every song from so many artists & usually the way the artists intend is so impressive man
Your mind! I'm shook. This is the most interesting, accurate and intelligent analysis of Blood Sweat and Tears I ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this in the right way.
Konx, I've been following you for a while now because I really enjoy how perceptive your are, how much you know and how you explain it. But wow, your analysis of Blood, Sweat & Tears is another level. It will never cease to amaze me how wide, deep and complex is your understandign of art. Great job!! Please keep doing this videos!!!!
This reaction was so awesome! Thank you so much for all the commentary and musical appreciation. I really enjoyed it.😊 “Blood Sweat & Tears” was the music video that made me fall in love with them! Idk, once I heard that song and watched the video, it was over for me. They’re just an amazing group.💜
this is mindblowing how smart and perceptive you are. I truly appreciate your in-depth reactions and your brain! I especially need you to meet the rapline and have you talk with RM and Suga about the writing process and just being intellectuals. Love it
I really wish Knox will react to the BTS universe series. All of his insights and perspective are amazing!!! Please start reacting to BTS universe 🙏🙏🙏 start with "I need you" I'm sure you'll get the meaning of the series. I'm so excited for that 💜
Your "Blood Sweat and Tears" analysis was astounding, deep, insightful, impressive. You are leaps and bounds above my education so thank you. ☺💜 Every time I find an intelligent reactor who explains a bit more makes (like you) my love for "our boys" grows. "Our Boys" include the master minds behind the stories, their intimate input, the choreographer, the director, etal. They all worked towards a common goal so instead of reaping profits to spend on themselves they invested in the future which ended up profiting them more then anyone could have dreamed. I like to think these young men trusted in something they couldn't fathom and it paid off. I have to wonder if Bang PD and team can pull it off again. I'll hazard a guess and say the creative juices will produce something different but spectacular.
Thank you for going live Knox!! Those reactions were awesome, especially the BS&T one. I really love this channel and I appreciate you, please keep doing more reactions! 💜🦄
Back to rewatch for some therapy after the Twitter storm that’s been army vs a certain US music label this eve 😂 Seriously though, BTS have always believed in the artist first and encouraging their creativity over being label puppets, and they’ve stayed true to that always. I hope they shake up the industry a bit, it sure needs it!
Hey man, would really appreciate your reaction to "The Last" or "First Love" by suga. Both are emotional and intense songs and never fail to give me goosebumps everytime
I really want you to react to AGUST D ft RM - STRANGE the lyrics are really amazing, I want to see ur take on it! looking forward to more of ur breakdowns and stay safe!
ON has 2 music videos. lol the kinetic manifesto would be easy for you. the one with more imagery is the other official mv. lol that requires more brain power... maybe someday you'll see it too. 💜
Unfortunately Cypher Melody Live got blocked! When it gave me the option to trim it out to keep the video I realise it cut well into 'Blood Sweat & Tears' as well. I'm working on restoring the full reaction and then I'll have to manually trim it. Thanks for the patience guys!
Thank you!
are you thinking of putting the Cypher Medley on Patreon? I'm so sad I missed it!

not a lot of reactors get blood, sweat and tears. a lot got baffled or confused towards the end. i think it's because you were able to zero in on the paintings and correctly interpreted them and they guided you throughout the video. and you actually also got both the visual and the lyrics. it also helped that you already have an idea about the kind of artists BTS are. kudos to you for not needing explanation videos. also, rap heavy albums are in the first few releases (dark&wild would be one of the best resources to listen to). thank you for giving them a chance.
Thanks for the comment! Your support means a lot 🙌🏼
Not to mention rapper Jungkook! #bringHimBack
true! He killed the review
@@KnoxHill knox, BTS old songs are full of rap especially their first album and their mini albums. Jungkook the main vocalist would also rap
He probably goes through the explanations prior to reacting. But either way that requires time and still needs brain to understand BS&T so truly Knox is smart.
BTS’s songs and MVs have so much meaning behind them, and it’s hard to figure it out in one go, but Knoxx is on another level 💯
Appreciate that

Your ability to interpret the visuals and lyrics so quickly and accurately is astounding!

Agree with the comment further down about the billboard debacle and I’m back to watch someone actually respect and care about BTS’ music. I hope people can see through these industry tactics. They got so big in the first place by basically bypassing the media/industry and building this amazing fanbase. It scares the ones in power because they could actually make real change to the way artists are treated and things are run. It’s a real issue and we have to keep fighting ARMY! Fight for the underdogs and the independent artists like Knox ✊
I am so impressed with your reaction!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Wow you are so intelligent and how do you hear the music, read the subtitles and watch the video at the same time you are amazing
Your reaction to BST was SO GOOD. I’m incredibly impressed. Wow.
I'm shocked. This was a fantastic reaction and explanation. You are just... wow. You caught on so quickly
I noticed that whenever a bts song is so good, suga is one of the writers 💜💜🫰🏻
Totally impressed! You're the only reactor that caught on the contrast between good and evil theme...and the temptation of the innocent. wowzie.
There is a performance where everyone of them represents a greek god. Their live performances, especially the scenery and dances shock me every time again
I’m binge watching your videos. At this point I applaud you for all ur reaction videos.. so far ur my favorite reactor.. the technicalities, the lyricism, the art, the everything is on point.. applause 👏🏻!
Really appreciate your BTS reactions and full respect to you for breaking them down so nicely .....Plz put BTS - Fake Love and Fire on your list ....They're amazingggg and today's live was FAB !!!!
Wow, I have never been so amazed watching a reaction video of Blood, Sweat, and Tears 💯💯💯 YOU ARE AMAZING, KNOXX!!! YOU NAILED IT 🔥🔥🔥
Epic live again Knox! I’m guessing you had to cut the medley (what’s going on Hybe?! Don’t get that as it’s been okay for others 🤷♂️) but I think you’ve cut half of the bs&t reaction too by accident? That reaction was incredible btw!
I missed the live cos I was travelling but, wow, your invite into Blood Sweat and Tears was awesome. I have a challenge for you for BTS lyrics, Ddaeng. If you figure out the amazing wordplay in this one I will be absolutely gobsmacked!
I’ll have to check it for sure
@@KnoxHill There is an explanation vid for it as well.
He's actually already done Ddaeng, he checked out the explanation vid beforehand and then did the reaction - it's really good!
Beautiful breakdown on Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Really enjoyed your trip through it. Thanks!
Love that you mentioned the poetic nature of the lyrics. RM really shines in that, the visual imagery he paints is unbelievable.
Yooooooooooo, that freestyyyyle🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 your flow is fantastic😉 I especially loved the "Don't cross me, I'm not christian." Oooooohhh lesgoooo. I hope to become like you!
thank you for all your analysis..i thought only my brain went there with this video. you are amazing. this is my favorite video of theirs period.
I was just chillin, reading the shooketh comments as knox connects dots that are barely revealed
Hi Knox
I recommend that you still watch ON the MV. Major Biblical references in there. I like Bapsae even though there isn't an MV per say but the societal and political criticisms is on point and is relatable.
You are amazing!! Love this channel
I love this guy... If his intelligence translates into his music, I'm going to have to listen to it.
No, i believe it is a quote from Hermann Hesse 's book, Stsppenwolf, its in reference to the Magic Tbeatre , "For Madmen Only". The sign above the mirage like door in the mist.
The 'green' in his drink is Absinthe. Which has its profound ties with what you were discussing. Knox, again, hits the nail on the head.
Ohh mmyy goddd .... this man is effing genius .... 🤯
I'm sitting here shouting yes yes yes . I just love all the imagery in 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'. Will you notice the scars of the wings severed from his back? Is the quote from 'Carl Jung'?
I'm somewhat starting to see another meaning for bst like some artist have a relationship with music or their career and sometimes it can lead to a really toxic state and those who are tempted follow in the chase of success and building a community are willing to, blindly, risk losing themselves. Meanwhile, staying humble and grounded will protect your authenticity and help you gradually find understanding of others and yourself.
No foolin’ us. Army knew you were in since your first reaction. We got ya!
blood sweat & tears reactions are usually one of my least favorites to watch because no one really gets what they’re trying to portray in it but you!! jesus christ another banger.. the way you break down every song from so many artists & usually the way the artists intend is so impressive man
Came here for the BTS reactions but got a surprise freestyle rap in the middle. Love it! 👏🏻💜
Your mind! I'm shook. This is the most interesting, accurate and intelligent analysis of Blood Sweat and Tears I ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this in the right way.
Konx, I've been following you for a while now because I really enjoy how perceptive your are, how much you know and how you explain it. But wow, your analysis of Blood, Sweat & Tears is another level. It will never cease to amaze me how wide, deep and complex is your understandign of art. Great job!! Please keep doing this videos!!!!
God you are so smart. its your first time listening to BS&T and you understood everything
This reaction was so awesome! Thank you so much for all the commentary and musical appreciation. I really enjoyed it.😊
“Blood Sweat & Tears” was the music video that made me fall in love with them! Idk, once I heard that song and watched the video, it was over for me. They’re just an amazing group.💜
Omg wow your interpretation of BST was mindblowing. Thank you for this!!
Thanks for checking it out & supporting the channel🙌🏼
I can practically smell the east coast off of you and I love it
Haha, aye thanks 🙌🏼
I'm loving the art history and philosophy references 💖 haven't heard other react videos doing that!
Blood sweat and tears break down is the best on RUclips and you did it live 🐐🐐🐐
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned or not in the comments, but the beat break towards the end of “ON” was actually written years ago by Suga. 🥰
I have never seen anyone connecting the dots of the bts universe and bs&t as fast and cleverly as Knox did. I'm amazed.
Thanks!!! I am from PUERTO RICO!!!
I love Hobi's part and Suga's part
Hobi's Voice colors so unique
So attractive
this is mindblowing how smart and perceptive you are. I truly appreciate your in-depth reactions and your brain! I especially need you to meet the rapline and have you talk with RM and Suga about the writing process and just being intellectuals. Love it
I really wish Knox will react to the BTS universe series. All of his insights and perspective are amazing!!!
Please start reacting to BTS universe 🙏🙏🙏 start with "I need you" I'm sure you'll get the meaning of the series. I'm so excited for that 💜
OMG I can't believe I missed this! But I'm glad that it was saved and you showed it to us. Thank you!
Your "Blood Sweat and Tears" analysis was astounding, deep, insightful, impressive. You are leaps and bounds above my education so thank you. ☺💜
Every time I find an intelligent reactor who explains a bit more makes (like you) my love for "our boys" grows. "Our Boys" include the master minds behind the stories, their intimate input, the choreographer, the director, etal. They all worked towards a common goal so instead of reaping profits to spend on themselves they invested in the future which ended up profiting them more then anyone could have dreamed. I like to think these young men trusted in something they couldn't fathom and it paid off. I have to wonder if Bang PD and team can pull it off again. I'll hazard a guess and say the creative juices will produce something different but spectacular.
Thank you for going live Knox!! Those reactions were awesome, especially the BS&T one. I really love this channel and I appreciate you, please keep doing more reactions! 💜🦄
Its the Rise of the Purple Unicorn Squad!!
Back to rewatch for some therapy after the Twitter storm that’s been army vs a certain US music label this eve 😂 Seriously though, BTS have always believed in the artist first and encouraging their creativity over being label puppets, and they’ve stayed true to that always. I hope they shake up the industry a bit, it sure needs it!
Hey man, would really appreciate your reaction to "The Last" or "First Love" by suga. Both are emotional and intense songs and never fail to give me goosebumps everytime
I really want you to react to AGUST D ft RM - STRANGE
the lyrics are really amazing, I want to see ur take on it! looking forward to more of ur breakdowns and stay safe!
i love how knox went from fallen angel icarus and stuff them scream OKAY KATNISS EVERDEEN 😭😭😭
Best breakdown of Blood, Sweat & Tears 😍
Came back after I saw the video was longer and that you’d put the entirety of BS&T!!! Incredible analysis, you’ve a brilliant mind
ON has 2 music videos. lol the kinetic manifesto would be easy for you. the one with more imagery is the other official mv. lol that requires more brain power... maybe someday you'll see it too. 💜
You should check out more Agust D stuff. You've reacted to 2 songs from him, he has around 40 songs
I fell in love with your brain, analyses on point!!!
Can we all agree that knoxx is so smart and witty, like damn he's so cool. *sending purple hearts*
