See, but what you have to also understand is that this tragedy was huge, not only for the obvious reasons, but also because of the political fallout. The President of South Korea and many high-ranking politicians tried to cover up everything. Anybody that spoke badly about the government was blacklisted and back then, BTS was a small group that risked everything. They were speaking against their government, suicide at the time, and this was not the only song that talked about it. Am I Wrong was another song that heavily criticized the government and could have cost them their careers. Recently, a journalist did an interview with some of the families of the victims and discovered that BTS had actually gone and given their condolences in person to some of the families and also donated money to the survivors. None of us knew. They never spoke about it. But they did it because they thought it was the right thing to do. This song holds a very special place in the hearts of both BTS & ARMY, but also the country of South Korea. It just amplifies everything that BTS is and stands for, and knowing all of this just makes me prouder of being their fan.
I don't disagree at all! but i also want to point out that this tragedy happened in 2014 and this MV came out 2017, after the president had already started being impeached. The support of the families in 2014 could have hurt their career but this song was not as risky as the government scandal was mostly already very public (hence the impeachment). I dont want to downplay anything about this song (because it is DEFINITELY commentary on the tragedy and the government at the time) but I also don't want incorrect info spreading of this huge tragedy. Edit: reread your comment and I think you were talking about the support in 2014 being very risky. Sorry for misreading!
@@miraaranel no no thank you! I should've mentioned other songs that criticized the government from their early years to avoid the confusion. I brought up Am I Wrong since that song came out after the scandal with the Ministry of Education and like a few weeks before the JTBC report
@@breea3426 Am I Wrong is an absolute MASTERPIECE. I think Baepsae was pretty poignant too, especially with all the blaming that was getting put onto millennials at the time for the declining birth rate. I love when they come out with these unexpected political jabs (are they even jabs? they are more just telling it like it is in a way that points out the hypocrisy) in their songs - they are such intelligent and classy people.
@@miraaranel yes yes!!! Everything about Am I Wrong from the lyrics, to the message, to the choreo --even Jimin's amazing high note --makes the song such a masterpiece. Severely underappreciated in my humble opinion.
@@miraaranel yes this particular song wasnt that risky. But the one thing they did that was very risky was the fact that by that time there was a huge blacklisting that the government did to public figures including musicians who supported the protests of the family towards the government. And bts didnt care about any of that and continued to show their support for the families by visiting the ceremony, comforted the families in person and donated 100million won for the cause (10M from each members and 30M from bang PD). And then they continued by writing the song Am I Wrong which was broadcasted on music program a few times (the lyrics and the choreography clearly showed their protest to the government) and finally by releasing spring day in 2017 even tho the president was alrdy been imprisoned, to remind everyone to always remember this tragedy and keep the victims in our hearts.
articles just started to come out recently on how BTS actually not only donated but visited the victims families & how those families have supported them immensely since then (and praying for their success). This was incredibly brave of bts to do since at the time the government was blacklisting those who spoke out about it and since BTS’ were still only beginning, it could’ve been career suicide. Hence the meaning being hidden within Spring Day’s mv.

THIS IS WHY WE STAN BTS. NOT just because: they are handsome. their powerful vocals. their amazing choreo. but because of their: message work ethics and their personalities. they are MORE than a "boy band" requesting if you can react to the most beautiful life goes on. YOU came a long way from your 1st reaction. all the love from the philippines.
Spring day is the queen of songs literally making us crying every time we listen to it This is why she never left the korean charts in 4 years Or maybe this is why it doesn't have the streams of big bts songs even tho it's good one
This song is also a reminder to those friends you have suddenly forgotten and to those friends who died. Spring Day is a reminder we should always be thankful and never forget those important people in your life.
If you’re interested in more of their politically charged songs (that are not emotionally heavy like this), you should check out “Am I Wrong,” “Baepsae,” “Anpanman,” “Not Today,” and “Fire.” The last 2 have music videos with captions, “Baepsae” has a great dance practice, and “Anpanman” has some great live performances. “Am I Wrong” has some live performances available, though many are shortened because in the wake of the Sewol tragedy, the SK government tried to silence any media about it, especially things that were critical. However, BTS performed the song anyway, risking getting blacklisted. Obviously, some channels were afraid to air it, though, or only aired some of it. It’s a really great song, and the choreo (like in “Baepsae”), is also making a strong statement. I will say also there are lots of references and stuff in these songs so Doolset will be your friend 🙂💜.
After the disaster, there were reporters and journalists going to the High School, wich students died in the ferry, and it was SUCHA awful scene at the School. There were whole class rooms with empty seats and flowers on the desks. It was basically entire high school that was on that field trip that day, and what they left behind was an empty School. Those videos from there really made you realise the scale that this happened, I mean almost 300 students and teachers.. It was heartbreaking...🥺😟💔
This is one of the reasons I became ARMY at 52 years old. Almost every BTS song goes so much deeper than just the great music and amazing choreography. I love watching your reactions and you have such a beautiful smile. 💜💜💜
This song is the longest charting song in Korean history (4 years and it hasn't left the charts) and widely considered to be one of BTS's best songs due to the symbolism, lyrics, timing, and message
BTS and BIG HIT are geniuses at their art.. they are not afraid to sted light where it needs to be. They speak on topics that many are afraid to talk about. You're reaction to this is what is to be expected whenever people learn the meaning behind this video..The song and the video are extremely deep, meaningful, emotional, and powerful..Thank you for taking the time to watch this explanation
A lot of BTS' music and content is lowkey subversive and often touch upon sociocultural topics and issues, along with messages about individual journeys of self-growth. They brilliantly make their songs commercially appealing while touching on subjects that most mainstream musicians shy away from.
I have to applaud you for your consideration and absolute respect you expressed in this reaction. We all love your extra entertaining reactions and when you’re clowning around and being hilarious, but I think this reaction really shows (what I already knew) that you’re really here because you like the music and are enjoying the journey. I had a moment where I really dove into spring day and researched about the sewol ferry, while the song was released initially with these sentiments in mind, it’s such a universal song that it can be applied to anyone being separated from a loved one due to circumstances beyond our control. Fantastic reaction, can’t wait for the next one. Peace 💜
I think this is your bias best BTS reaction ever. Your sincerity and respect really shows. I think this is one of the best Spring Day explanation reactions that I've seen.
I really appreciate how respectful you are to all of the victims. I also love your singing too. This was a great reaction. The goal of this song was to immortalize and honor the victims and bring hope and support to the survivors telling them we all stand together and they don't have to fight alone. This song has never left the Korean charts 5 years after its release because the citizens of Korea hold this song in a special place in their hearts.
not just the MV but the choreo also has a meaning and pictured the story very well even tho it's simple and clean ! they released the song years after the tragedy wich really helped the survivers and the families in the time when they though that everyone has forget about them😔when the tragedy happened bts donated and even visited the victimes (media just annonce it recently after years and years)! even tho the song represent the tragedey but it's also about everyone who lost someone in his/her life 😥 RM get inspired from his own story and in suga's verse the story he talked about it's the same story as one of his songs mixtape about the lost of his friend after he took a wrong way and start using and selling drugs 😑 so basically what make this song special is not just them writing about tragedy from afar No they triend to remind us about the lost of those youngangels through their experinces of losing a proche and let everyone thinking about the victimes but at same time thinking about their own lives and the people who were their but now they aren't and that's also what gets people (splly korean citizens not Army or bts fans) stuck to it and keep it in charts every springs,winters,autumns and even summers since 2017 this song never leave the korean chart because it's legendry and as youngi (suga) said she's a ZOMBIE 💓💓💓 Nice reaction keep it up and wish u the best 👍👍 (sorry if i made some mistakes english is my third language 😍💜)
The bts members donated to the families and secretly attended the memorial and comforted the families of the victims. We also only found out last year that they attended the memorial, because the people there didn't want to risk bts being censored. So the other attendees only talked about bts being there now that bts are too big touch and the tragedy isn't as hidden anymore.
Spring Day is the queen honestly, even the members always mention of how iconic it’s become. Fun fact: it’s been charting in the top 100 on the korean chart Melon for over 3 years (this year being the 4th). It’s an actual zombie..she just never dies
There are so many layers to this song. That’s what makes it so meaningful. It can be about missing someone you can never see again (via death, suicide, or the breakdown of a relationship), a tribute to the SeWol fairy tragedy, and giving hope to those who have lost hope...it’s such a good song
Spring Day & the MV are just amazing. In so many ways. The depth, maturity, intelligence, and beauty of it all is not something I’ve ever seen in just one music video.
Really hope you also watched the Italian Army's version too. It's more in-depth with the symbolism and references made in the video. And she was also Invited to speak in Korea because of her Explanation video. Even made it on Korean National TV. SBS. Also this explanation kinda misinterpreted or didn't fully explore. So please watch Italian Army's version.
You showed your raw emotion on this. Thank you for being authentic. We call Spring Day the Queen because she has never left the Korean charts since entering it. It definitely stirs up strong and serious emotions each and every time.
Spring day is one of my favorite BTS songs. This song made me a real fan of BTS and for the first time, I liked a boy group for their music and not their visuals. I never thought a boy group could sing beyond love interests, lust, money, cars to name a few. BTS still remains my favorite boy group ever. Many other groups are now trying to put this meaningful element into their music but nobody can do it like BTS! BTS is the best! And hopefully I will be an Army for life!
I really enjoyed this reaction. No need to apologize, it’s great to see genuine emotions, another side to you, and you showed a lot of respect to the song by even taking time to understand the meaning and message behind it.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I remember when this happened. Advent of cell phone, kids made videos while onboard, show on nightly news. You can see some on RUclips today. One kid when he realized the seriousness of the situation asked for forgiveness for any harm he had done in life. Very touching. Much respect to BTS for memorializing the youth.
When the ferry capsized I watched for days on end for updates. I am completely shocked how many Americans cannot even recall the tragic event. That alone is very bothersome to me. Many years later I myself became a mother and genuinely contemplated body of water related field trips.
I really appreciate how you try to educate yourself in other cultures and how you don’t shy away in learning the language by looking up the lyrics. Keep it up!
After watching BTS'S Spring Day music video and watching explained videos, the footage from one of the students cell phones was in my recommended. I thought it was from a survivors phone maybe showing the steps that the teachers, captain and staff were taking to ensure these kids stayed safe but no. These kids were joking and thinking help was on its way then there came a point where they realized they were abandoned and were video tapeing their goodbye to their parents. It was one of the most heart breaking things I have ever watched. I can't even imagine how those parents felt. To be honest I wanted to turn it off but felt it would be disrespectful to do so. I'm a parent myself and it made me really think about how I need my kids to know I love and support them.
youll get more triggered when you watched the video of students inside the sewol ferry its freaking heart breaking knowing that theyre Gone and also the video where the people trying to break the window to get out is just hurts so much and i could felt how scary it was....
This is the first time I felt like I saw a genuine reaction from you. It was really refreshing to see you as a real person. I truly feel this was your best reaction. 💜
Thank you for your sincerity and respect. It's a beautiful song in its own right but also a memorial. Unspeakable senseless tragedy. They were brave to call attention to the victims knowing it could have been the end of their careers.
It's not that we don't enjoy this reaction, but through this tragedy we can learn, live and grow as better people,never stop supporting those who need it, any form of help is correct, the one that makes us more human, the one that makes us feel that spring is coming
Yes they were saying that to the students, and they didn’t even use all the rescue boats and idk why’d they didn’t but imagine how many more life’s could’ve been saved🥺😞
they told everyone to sit still and wait. most kids started putting on life jackets out of fear and one girl even said "isn't this like in the movies where they tell you to stay put, but only the ones that break the rules survive?" unfortunately she was correct. :((
There is a documentary about thiy tragedy, i think its around 40 min long. There you can actualy see how bad everything was. From the way media, politicians covered what was going on. There are many filmed clips from students that were inside, you see how scared they were, then the outside footage where you can see students knocking on the windows unable to get out (yet no-one helped them)...that is just part of it. Maybe its best to watch theory of this song made by an italian army (she explained it so well and added some informations and footages from the news, documentary...) Honestly she did such a good job on that.
Spring Day is special to me, because when I listen to it I can almost feel near to my loved ones that died. I use to feel guilty because I didn't greeted my late best friend properly the day she went for an operation. I was so busy having breakfast that I didn't pay attention. I thought that I will see her again. Sad thing is I didn't. Everytime I passed her room I felt more guilty. I was in boarding school. That was in 1998. Thanks to BTS and their song Spring Day I have forgiven myself.
all of their songs have references to something, that's one of the many reasons why a lot of people are drawn to them and not only on their "pretty faces" which is always stereotyped by many but for the purpose and their way of conveying genuine message thru music.
😭😭😭 this was the moment I knew I was army forever. I agree, with as sad and terrible of a tragedy as it is, BTS represented it so beautifully. It took me a few days to get over this one. Spring Day will always have a special place. Great reaction 💜
Every single song BTS puts out is full of meaning if you really listen to them. They really use their platform for good. This is what makes them different. They don't do music for the charts, they do music for our soul
That's why Spring Day is still on the charts in S.Korea. It has never left the charts ever since it was released. This song hits you right in the feels, especially when you know the meaning behind it💜
Oh Thank you very much for reading our comments and watching the explanation.. the tragic Sewol ferry incident needs to be remembered as a humanitarian disaster in the world not just in Korea... this music video has contributed to the world knowing about it and led to worldwide activism so that the case is not forgotten.. this is what we have been saying all this time about the deep meaning of some of BTS's songs.. this is only one of them.. please do watch Blood, Sweat and Tears the music video... a highly psycho-philosophical one with lots of references also to mythology, art, literature, the Bible, etc. (the list long). It is part of the Bangtan Universe (the storyline of BTS songs since 2015) but it can be appreciated as a masterpiece of its own as well
I never get tired of watching that explanation video. They sing the song so beautifully live (choreo in their dance practice vid is beautiful too) and only recently mentioned its connection to the sweol ferry disaster publicly in an interview - they didn't explicitly say it before when it first came out, but its an anthem that has helped bring awareness to the issue on a global scale. Its still a powerful song calling for us to remember those we have lost and hope for better days to come. The Queen (Spring Day) lives on in the charts to this day! This piano version especially will ALWAYS leave me bawling by the end of the video. Many of BTS' songs are upbeat, fun hits with *fire* choreo to match, but this one is v close to the hearts of South Koreans and ARMYs who learn about the meaning. I'm glad you decided to make a part 2 of this. Thank you for your honest reaction! Can't wait for the next one. Hope you don't feel like you have to rush making vids either -- they have SOOOO much content and its not going anywhere lol
The great thing about this mv is korean broadcasts are really strictly. Sometimes songs can play in a major station di korean only because word, gestures in mv, clothes etc. Spring day MV still can play in major station even they criticize goverment in a sensitive issued. Well the sewol ferry accident are become a big issue, event korean celebrities afraid to speak.
This was the song which made me realize that being an army is not just fangirling but we are working as representative of youth fighting against the oppressive systems in today's society and preserving the values of being a true human and loving the life 💜
I really love the song, Spring Day. I always love BTS songs and concepts. They are very deep. And your reaction , thank you. You made me cry again because of this song.
This song is called Queen. I hope you will pay attention to more reactions to the comments we share about explanation videos. We will let you know where you need to see an explanation video. Thank you for being a part of looking into the trajedy and meaning behind the song. More people see and understand more we will never forget the children and others. They will always be in our hearts. 💜💜🇮🇳
There are hints in the k-drama that greed is very very bad but as there is no western of view the storytelling is quite exotic and angsty. Because you don't know where the plot goes. Itaewon, doctor criminal
I love your honest reactions. This song is the Queen - never been out of the charts since it was released. I cannot hear this song either without crying - it's amazing.
The videos of the students pretty much waiting for their death on the ferry are some of the most heartbreaking i've ever seen. BTS had to be vague about this song because they could have legitimately been cancelled for this.
The queen ❤ im really happy you watched this video and took it to heart. BTS are really good for talking about serious issues but hiding it in a pretty package. So it's easy for us to miss unless we look up the lyrics and their meanings
See what happens when we put aside our prejudices, like SUGA said, and give their music a chance? Most of their songs have a deeper meaning and/or a very meaningful message. I must have gone thru every article, interview, documentary (including cellphone video clips taken by those who perished) after I watched the explained video. It took me three days to research. And I bawled every single day. Now, just hearing the intro can get me teary-eyed. I hope to visit the site one day and pay my respects.
Don't be sad. Think of it as honoring those who were lost. Every time this song is played, they are remembered and the guilty are not allowed to forget. Also, BTS songs may sound upbeat, but there are a lot of hidden topics in them. I always enjoy BTS explained by a Korean. Those videos always explain what phrases mean in Korean and it puts a different spin on the song.
The past can't be changed but at least they're bringing light to it. Thanks to Bts, many more people are even aware about this. I also wanna say that I enjoyed this reaction and still found it "entertaining".
I almost didn't watch this reaction because it makes me so sad and angry, even after all these years. I'm so glad the captain and his crew got caught because what the fuck. It pisses me off so much. I even made the mistake of watching the video footage shot by the teenager's on the ship that dive crews had been able to recover. Hearing them beg for their lives, cry that they didn't want to die, and constantly question if they should leave but "the captain told us to stay put" while KNOWING that every single person in that video later died an hour later.... it hurts so much. I'm glad I watched your reaction though, but it always puts me in such a bad mood.
This is probably a weird comment but I think it could be important, so here it is: at 1:52 and other points in the video there is a short beeping sound in the background. It sounds exactly like my smoke detector when it's low on batteries. Do you have any smoke or carbonmonoxid alarms close by that you might need to check? I'm sorry for bringing it up, I just worry D: Thank you for your reaction! Spring day really gets me every time.
Am I Wrong, Baepsae, and so many other songs that criticize society and the government is what makes me really respect bts. Theyve been doing it since their debut, back when they were a small ass group with little to no support if the gov blacklists them. We only found out recently, that back in 2014, they visited the famillies of the highschool kids with donations and condolences. Under the gov at that time- a risky ass move to do as small time artists. This song really was intended to comfort the country, which is why its still on music charts in korea 4 years release
Side note every artist who spoke or talked about the tragedy or visited the survivors or their families has been blocklistd by the government bts back in 2014 have donated and visited personally their families but we only found out about last year idk what would've happened to them back then anyways south Korea is really a strict country and bts have multiple songs that criticize the government specially the school system Ps the song have never left Korean chart since it released back in jan 2017 till today it's the longest charting song in Korean history
@@DraganaJ lol, really? Haven’t seen that one. Maybe he was joking about the bird. He is a funny guy. Or it’s both. What I keep hearing in all of his videos is definitely a smoke alarm.
also something to note is that things like this are not allowed to talked about like this which is most likely why they did not explicitly mention the tragedy in the mv. artists could get literally the blacklisted for talking about such a heavy topic especially since it also involves the government.
I used to feel happy and amazing whenever i listened to spring day but after explain i literally cired and after that time i never listened to spring day without dance performance
We/Armies are alllll here for AnYoNe willing to learn what BTS conveys in their music! They had to be mysterious to make this song denote specifically this tragedy because many who spoke out were publicly “blacklisted” by the government. But citizens knew! And this song has NeVEeR left the charts , it is called their Queen 👑 of songs and allows NoOne to Forget what happened! Thank you for listening to your subscribers and learning BTS messages! I’ll now become a Subscriber! StayGold Sebastian ! (Ps... for your analytics, I’m an over Fiddy Army! ) 💟😜👍🏻🥰
bts even went to mourn with the families of the victims after the tragedy happened when thet still werent big in and it wasnt until recently that the media covered it i think?

Spring day is the queen of songs literally making us crying every time we listen to it
This is why she never left the korean charts in 4 years
Or maybe this is why it doesn't have the streams of big bts songs even tho it's good one
It's been five years and I completely agree spring day is queen

The goal of this song was to immortalize and honor the victims and bring hope and support to the survivors telling them we all stand together and they don't have to fight alone. This song has never left the Korean charts 5 years after its release because the citizens of Korea hold this song in a special place in their hearts.
I agree today's reaction was great
not just the MV but the choreo also has a meaning and pictured the story very well even tho it's simple and clean ! they released the song years after the tragedy wich really helped the survivers and the families in the time when they though that everyone has forget about them😔when the tragedy happened bts donated and even visited the victimes (media just annonce it recently after years and years)! even tho the song represent the tragedey but it's also about everyone who lost someone in his/her life 😥 RM get inspired from his own story and in suga's verse the story he talked about it's the same story as one of his songs mixtape about the lost of his friend after he took a wrong way and start using and selling drugs 😑 so basically what make this song special is not just them writing about tragedy from afar No they triend to remind us about the lost of those youngangels through their experinces of losing a proche and let everyone thinking about the victimes but at same time thinking about their own lives and the people who were their but now they aren't and that's also what gets people (splly korean citizens not Army or bts fans) stuck to it and keep it in charts every springs,winters,autumns and even summers since 2017 this song never leave the korean chart because it's legendry and as youngi (suga) said she's a ZOMBIE 💓💓💓
Nice reaction keep it up and wish u the best 👍👍
(sorry if i made some mistakes english is my third language 😍💜)
Even the clock in the laundry... Has the exact time when the boat started sinking... 😢💜
The bts members donated to the families and secretly attended the memorial and comforted the families of the victims.
We also only found out last year that they attended the memorial, because the people there didn't want to risk bts being censored. So the other attendees only talked about bts being there now that bts are too big touch and the tragedy isn't as hidden anymore.
Spring Day is the queen honestly, even the members always mention of how iconic it’s become. Fun fact: it’s been charting in the top 100 on the korean chart Melon for over 3 years (this year being the 4th). It’s an actual zombie..she just never dies
Spring Day is a MASTERPIECE that will never be not special for generations and generations to come. It’s the song that will be passed on forever.
There are so many layers to this song. That’s what makes it so meaningful. It can be about missing someone you can never see again (via death, suicide, or the breakdown of a relationship), a tribute to the SeWol fairy tragedy, and giving hope to those who have lost hope...it’s such a good song
Spring Day & the MV are just amazing. In so many ways. The depth, maturity, intelligence, and beauty of it all is not something I’ve ever seen in just one music video.
Really hope you also watched the Italian Army's version too. It's more in-depth with the symbolism and references made in the video. And she was also Invited to speak in Korea because of her Explanation video. Even made it on Korean National TV. SBS.
Also this explanation kinda misinterpreted or didn't fully explore. So please watch Italian Army's version.
@@livvyyyys It's in the video's description. :)
yesss please
Is there a video of her explaining it on Korean television?
it is really worth watching !!
You showed your raw emotion on this. Thank you for being authentic. We call Spring Day the Queen because she has never left the Korean charts since entering it. It definitely stirs up strong and serious emotions each and every time.
Spring day is one of my favorite BTS songs. This song made me a real fan of BTS and for the first time, I liked a boy group for their music and not their visuals. I never thought a boy group could sing beyond love interests, lust, money, cars to name a few. BTS still remains my favorite boy group ever. Many other groups are now trying to put this meaningful element into their music but nobody can do it like BTS! BTS is the best! And hopefully I will be an Army for life!
I really enjoyed this reaction. No need to apologize, it’s great to see genuine emotions, another side to you, and you showed a lot of respect to the song by even taking time to understand the meaning and message behind it.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I remember when this happened. Advent of cell phone, kids made videos while onboard, show on nightly news. You can see some on RUclips today. One kid when he realized the seriousness of the situation asked for forgiveness for any harm he had done in life. Very touching. Much respect to BTS for memorializing the youth.
seriously dude you are one of the best reactors i have seen
i just love the fact that you are soo truthful and honest
love you!
When the ferry capsized I watched for days on end for updates. I am completely shocked how many Americans cannot even recall the tragic event. That alone is very bothersome to me. Many years later I myself became a mother and genuinely contemplated body of water related field trips.
I really appreciate how you try to educate yourself in other cultures and how you don’t shy away in learning the language by looking up the lyrics. Keep it up!
After watching BTS'S Spring Day music video and watching explained videos, the footage from one of the students cell phones was in my recommended. I thought it was from a survivors phone maybe showing the steps that the teachers, captain and staff were taking to ensure these kids stayed safe but no. These kids were joking and thinking help was on its way then there came a point where they realized they were abandoned and were video tapeing their goodbye to their parents. It was one of the most heart breaking things I have ever watched. I can't even imagine how those parents felt. To be honest I wanted to turn it off but felt it would be disrespectful to do so. I'm a parent myself and it made me really think about how I need my kids to know I love and support them.
youll get more triggered when you watched the video of students inside the sewol ferry its freaking heart breaking knowing that theyre Gone and also the video where the people trying to break the window to get out is just hurts so much and i could felt how scary it was....
This is the first time I felt like I saw a genuine reaction from you. It was really refreshing to see you as a real person. I truly feel this was your best reaction. 💜
Everytime I listen to this song it makes me cry.... The tragedy was so big..... I feel so sad for the students my they rest in peace...
Thank you for your sincerity and respect. It's a beautiful song in its own right but also a memorial. Unspeakable senseless tragedy. They were brave to call attention to the victims knowing it could have been the end of their careers.
It's not that we don't enjoy this reaction, but through this tragedy we can learn, live and grow as better people,never stop supporting those who need it, any form of help is correct, the one that makes us more human, the one that makes us feel that spring is coming
correct me if im wrong, but weren't the students told to stay seated while the captains and others were being evacuated?
Yes they were saying that to the students, and they didn’t even use all the rescue boats and idk why’d they didn’t but imagine how many more life’s could’ve been saved🥺😞
they told everyone to sit still and wait. most kids started putting on life jackets out of fear and one girl even said "isn't this like in the movies where they tell you to stay put, but only the ones that break the rules survive?" unfortunately she was correct. :((
There is a documentary about thiy tragedy, i think its around 40 min long. There you can actualy see how bad everything was. From the way media, politicians covered what was going on. There are many filmed clips from students that were inside, you see how scared they were, then the outside footage where you can see students knocking on the windows unable to get out (yet no-one helped them)...that is just part of it. Maybe its best to watch theory of this song made by an italian army (she explained it so well and added some informations and footages from the news, documentary...) Honestly she did such a good job on that.
Yep
Spring Day is special to me, because when I listen to it I can almost feel near to my loved ones that died. I use to feel guilty because I didn't greeted my late best friend properly the day she went for an operation. I was so busy having breakfast that I didn't pay attention. I thought that I will see her again. Sad thing is I didn't. Everytime I passed her room I felt more guilty. I was in boarding school. That was in 1998. Thanks to BTS and their song Spring Day I have forgiven myself.
There is a meaning to every BTS song . They have a story line through their music and albums . Also we like unedited reactions please do more!
all of their songs have references to something, that's one of the many reasons why a lot of people are drawn to them and not only on their "pretty faces" which is always stereotyped by many but for the purpose and their way of conveying genuine message thru music.
Thank you for your reaction!!!! This is why BTS will always be the heroes in my heart!
😭😭😭 this was the moment I knew I was army forever. I agree, with as sad and terrible of a tragedy as it is, BTS represented it so beautifully. It took me a few days to get over this one. Spring Day will always have a special place. Great reaction 💜
Every single song BTS puts out is full of meaning if you really listen to them. They really use their platform for good. This is what makes them different. They don't do music for the charts, they do music for our soul
That's why Spring Day is still on the charts in S.Korea. It has never left the charts ever since it was released. This song hits you right in the feels, especially when you know the meaning behind it💜
I did like your reaction because it was genuine and real. . I didn't know any of this, and this makes me appreciate this song so much more
Oh Thank you very much for reading our comments and watching the explanation.. the tragic Sewol ferry incident needs to be remembered as a humanitarian disaster in the world not just in Korea... this music video has contributed to the world knowing about it and led to worldwide activism so that the case is not forgotten.. this is what we have been saying all this time about the deep meaning of some of BTS's songs.. this is only one of them.. please do watch Blood, Sweat and Tears the music video... a highly psycho-philosophical one with lots of references also to mythology, art, literature, the Bible, etc. (the list long). It is part of the Bangtan Universe (the storyline of BTS songs since 2015) but it can be appreciated as a masterpiece of its own as well
This song is also becomes like a national song or like an anthem song and it never leave the song charts as korean listen to this song very much
I never get tired of watching that explanation video. They sing the song so beautifully live (choreo in their dance practice vid is beautiful too) and only recently mentioned its connection to the sweol ferry disaster publicly in an interview - they didn't explicitly say it before when it first came out, but its an anthem that has helped bring awareness to the issue on a global scale.
Its still a powerful song calling for us to remember those we have lost and hope for better days to come. The Queen (Spring Day) lives on in the charts to this day!
This piano version especially will ALWAYS leave me bawling by the end of the video.
Many of BTS' songs are upbeat, fun hits with *fire* choreo to match, but this one is v close to the hearts of South Koreans and ARMYs who learn about the meaning.
I'm glad you decided to make a part 2 of this. Thank you for your honest reaction! Can't wait for the next one. Hope you don't feel like you have to rush making vids either -- they have SOOOO much content and its not going anywhere lol
I feel you finally understand BTS more and realized why ARMY protect these treasures so much. Love you!
The great thing about this mv is korean broadcasts are really strictly. Sometimes songs can play in a major station di korean only because word, gestures in mv, clothes etc. Spring day MV still can play in major station even they criticize goverment in a sensitive issued. Well the sewol ferry accident are become a big issue, event korean celebrities afraid to speak.
This was the song which made me realize that being an army is not just fangirling but we are working as representative of youth fighting against the oppressive systems in today's society and preserving the values of being a true human and loving the life 💜
I really love the song, Spring Day. I always love BTS songs and concepts. They are very deep. And your reaction , thank you. You made me cry again because of this song.
This was your best reaction to date. Loved it thank you.
This song is called Queen. I hope you will pay attention to more reactions to the comments we share about explanation videos. We will let you know where you need to see an explanation video. Thank you for being a part of looking into the trajedy and meaning behind the song.
More people see and understand more we will never forget the children and others. They will always be in our hearts.
💜💜🇮🇳
Spring Day is still on Korean Music Chart after 4 years released
Thank you for watching this and not joking about. In some reactions from other they make jokes. Loved the reaction
There are hints in the k-drama that greed is very very bad but as there is no western of view the storytelling is quite exotic and angsty. Because you don't know where the plot goes.
Itaewon, doctor criminal
I love your honest reactions.
This song is the Queen - never been out of the charts since it was released.
I cannot hear this song either without crying - it's amazing.
The videos of the students pretty much waiting for their death on the ferry are some of the most heartbreaking i've ever seen.
BTS had to be vague about this song because they could have legitimately been cancelled for this.
A few week ago, would you have believed anyone if they told you that you'd be singing the Korean lyrics to a BTS song?🤣💜
I really enjoyed your reaction to this; it's nice to see your emotional side, this song is so meaningful to ARMY so thank you for your reaction
The queen ❤ im really happy you watched this video and took it to heart. BTS are really good for talking about serious issues but hiding it in a pretty package. So it's easy for us to miss unless we look up the lyrics and their meanings
See what happens when we put aside our prejudices, like SUGA said, and give their music a chance? Most of their songs have a deeper meaning and/or a very meaningful message. I must have gone thru every article, interview, documentary (including cellphone video clips taken by those who perished) after I watched the explained video. It took me three days to research. And I bawled every single day. Now, just hearing the intro can get me teary-eyed. I hope to visit the site one day and pay my respects.
Don't be sad. Think of it as honoring those who were lost. Every time this song is played, they are remembered and the guilty are not allowed to forget. Also, BTS songs may sound upbeat, but there are a lot of hidden topics in them. I always enjoy BTS explained by a Korean. Those videos always explain what phrases mean in Korean and it puts a different spin on the song.
Really appreciate that you took the time to understand the meaning behind this song. Continue to sing this song...you have a beautiful voice. 💜
The past can't be changed but at least they're bringing light to it. Thanks to Bts, many more people are even aware about this. I also wanna say that I enjoyed this reaction and still found it "entertaining".
Boy you quick whenIt comes to requests 👏🏾👏🏾 applause for you
This might be my favorite reaction from you so far.
Thank you for your effort by knowing the deeper meaning of the song.
You gained my respect with this video. Another side of you which is lovely
Thank you for reacting to the explanation video. A lot of BTS songs have explanation videos. Like Baepsae and Ddaeng.
Thank You ✨💜
bts always doing magic
Thank you for reacting this video...
We will always remember them RIP💔
every time it gets to the part where seokjin is looking up at the others climbing the stairs without him I tear up
I almost didn't watch this reaction because it makes me so sad and angry, even after all these years. I'm so glad the captain and his crew got caught because what the fuck. It pisses me off so much. I even made the mistake of watching the video footage shot by the teenager's on the ship that dive crews had been able to recover. Hearing them beg for their lives, cry that they didn't want to die, and constantly question if they should leave but "the captain told us to stay put" while KNOWING that every single person in that video later died an hour later.... it hurts so much. I'm glad I watched your reaction though, but it always puts me in such a bad mood.
This is probably a weird comment but I think it could be important, so here it is: at 1:52 and other points in the video there is a short beeping sound in the background. It sounds exactly like my smoke detector when it's low on batteries.
Do you have any smoke or carbonmonoxid alarms close by that you might need to check?
I'm sorry for bringing it up, I just worry D:
Thank you for your reaction! Spring day really gets me every time.
If your humanity is functioning, it is impossible not to be deeply touched by Spring Day and by the Sewol ferry disaster.
It was a cool reaction
Am I Wrong, Baepsae, and so many other songs that criticize society and the government is what makes me really respect bts. Theyve been doing it since their debut, back when they were a small ass group with little to no support if the gov blacklists them. We only found out recently, that back in 2014, they visited the famillies of the highschool kids with donations and condolences. Under the gov at that time- a risky ass move to do as small time artists. This song really was intended to comfort the country, which is why its still on music charts in korea 4 years release
Just wanna say you have a great voice hehe
I LOVE YOUR VOICE-
Thank you for ur react fam
Watching from philippines
I cry every time I hear this song.
Side note every artist who spoke or talked about the tragedy or visited the survivors or their families has been blocklistd by the government bts back in 2014 have donated and visited personally their families but we only found out about last year idk what would've happened to them back then anyways south Korea is really a strict country and bts have multiple songs that criticize the government specially the school system
Ps the song have never left Korean chart since it released back in jan 2017 till today it's the longest charting song in Korean history
I enjoyed this. I learned a little more than what I already knew
Thanks for taking time out of your day to give us your reaction 😄💜
Where can I send you a 9 volt battery for your chirping smoke detector? 😂
I’ve mentioned this two times in his earlier videos. He doesn’t care. Or maybe he has high ceilings and no ladder? 🤷🏼♀️
lol
Dang. I thought the chirping was from my home. lol. BTW, Awesome reaction. Respect
@@dmrules it's not a smoke detector. He has a bird. He mentioned it in one of his other reactions when it started to chirp while he singing along.
@@DraganaJ lol, really? Haven’t seen that one. Maybe he was joking about the bird. He is a funny guy. Or it’s both. What I keep hearing in all of his videos is definitely a smoke alarm.
May there souls Rest In Peace
I know exactly what you are feeling. It hurts.
It's 보고 싶다, BOGO SIPTA, where BOGO means TO SEE, SIPTA means WANT or DESIRE. Together it is I WANT TO SEE YOU, I MISS YOU.
Tears drop!...when you react this explanation
also something to note is that things like this are not allowed to talked about like this which is most likely why they did not explicitly mention the tragedy in the mv. artists could get literally the blacklisted for talking about such a heavy topic especially since it also involves the government.
The New Yorker magazine article regarding Oscar winning movie about Ferry. I think you will be able to understand.
I used to feel happy and amazing whenever i listened to spring day but after explain i literally cired and after that time i never listened to spring day without dance performance
We/Armies are alllll here for AnYoNe willing to learn what BTS conveys in their music!
They had to be mysterious to make this song denote specifically this tragedy because many who spoke out were publicly “blacklisted” by the government.
But citizens knew! And this song has NeVEeR left the charts , it is called their Queen 👑 of songs and allows NoOne to Forget what happened!
Thank you for listening to your subscribers and learning BTS messages!
I’ll now become a Subscriber!
StayGold Sebastian !
(Ps... for your analytics, I’m an over Fiddy Army! ) 💟😜👍🏻🥰
Idk just how many times I teared up while watching the explanation.
I knew what this song was about but I never went deep into the explanation.
The last clips of the students 💔💔
bts even went to mourn with the families of the victims after the tragedy happened when thet still werent big in and it wasnt until recently that the media covered it i think?
