the reason you see jungkook front and center a lot is because he is the official center of bts.He is also the main vocalist often having a lot of lines and with bts usually the one who sings is in center so it makes sense you see him often in center. Each member has their own position. Like Namjoon is the leader. Hobi is the dance leader. Jungkook main vocalist. These are just a few example
Yess.. the rappers are often seen more working behind music( bang pd called them the three musical pillars of bts) and you will see more of the vocalists as the face of bts.... like jin in bu, jimin v and jk in the front of dance formations....
same at first I thought it was because the earlier videos still doesn’t have subtitles but I knew dope had them and everything going forward does. I came here to check to see if maybe at some point they thought to turn the subtitles on but looks like maybe not. 🥲 I hope they will go back and at least review lyrics later.

Jungkook is usually at the center cause he’s the official center of the group and he’s the main vocalist. Every member has their position in the group. Btw Jungkook directed Life Goes On video.
Lol theyre not bad boys, they were fighting for something important. I wish there were subtitles because it would make more sense that way. Nothing BTS does is random. There is always a purpose or a meaning.
You should've put the subtitles on, their lyrics has been really good since day one, they've been talking about the suicidal education system, mental health, struggles that the youth faces and so much more important issues even in the videos where you wouldn't have guessed it based on the visuals
it might've ended up being too overwhelming if they watched 3 hours of music videos while trying to focus on the music, the video, and the lyrics. Altho they might've been less confused of what the message of the music videos were about 😂
@@Ahjusshi_Brown No More Dream, We Are Bulletproof pt 2, and N.O didn't, but starting from Just One Day (technically starting with Boy In Luv since it was actually released first) they did, which was 2014. It sucks they didn't have it on the first few ones, but I wish they'd kept checking to see if subs were available for each video. I get why they didn't tho
@@prisharai7225 that's true, I guess watching all the videos in one go also plays into it as it would really been a lot to take in, hope they will read the lyrics off camera while listening to the songs again tho as it really would've explained a lot to them
Steph's right btw, Jungkook's officially "center", it's a designation in kpop meaning member who gets most time in the center position in dance formations (and often also in promotions etc, though I don't think this is the case for BTS). It ties into JK being the main singer (meaning especially earlier on he had the best singing technique and got the hardest parts, plus is usually the one harmonizing with other members) because the choreography tends to center or make space for the member who is singing. They also usually want one of the strongest dancers front and center.
@@ivypirata9332when they are singing the singer is centered. Like I said centers often get center time in promotions etc. I should have said I don't think it's the case for BTS ~anymore~, but I don't have the time to educate people on their history. By now there's a convention of order for BTS but they don't always go by it.
By the way, the MVs of I Need U, Run, Forever Young, among others, do tell a story; they narrate events of what the fandom knows as "Bangtan Universe", a universe created by the boys where they are characters going through significant moments in their youth, and through this universe BTS seeks to inspire and teach their audience on their own path of deconstruction and self-love.
The first 3 albums of BTS are their school trilogy, that is why their MVs were shot in a school setting. As the year passed by, and they mature, the focus of the music change as well (I need U, Run, Young Forever) are from their album Most Beautiful moment in life - which focus on being a young adult - being with friends but also going through suffering. Boy meets evil and Blood Sweat and Tears are from their album wings which was based on a book. It was about losing their innocence and giving into temptation (reason why Jin kissed the statue) - there is a much deeper meaning to this but that is the gist of it. Spring Day is about missing someone but it is also related to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy - Steph will for sure cry if you watch the explanation if the MV.
42:37 wesley is right!! it's definitely about friends and fraternal love rather than romantic. i believe rm said that he had to change it from "i need u friend" to "i need u girl" because it sounded better lol the entire storyline is very heavily based on the fraternal relationship between the boys (in the story) and the pains of youth and growing up
On one hand, yes, but on the other, if you made one video per song you could get way more into it, song lyrics, MV plus performance video, possible explanation videos, etc. The reactors doing deep dives into the discography are the best but then I guess it's more like documenting how they're becoming ARMYs, whereas this feels a little bit more casual :D (nothing wrong with that)
idc about ppl milking views id rather they appreciate the song more by going into the lyrics. lyrics are the most important part about bts music never reading the lyrics is never truly appreciating what bts want to say. its missing the entire point of why theyre famous in the first place. not cause theyre goofy or great guys but the issues they stand for the subjects they discuss and the people they empower and save with their music. thats the reason theyre bts not run bts or because they look hot or cute. music/lyrics should always be the main focus on the music and messages in the lyrics.
young forever is a really important song to bts, it's basically drenched with the desperation of youth and the lyrics are about how they know this moment of fame and following their dreams won't last forever but they aren't ready to let it go yet. it's possibly their most bittersweet song in my opinion along with spring day, which is another song about grief/missing somene. the lyrics are heartbreakingly beautiful. i hope you react to their lyrics one day :')
The Spring Day music video and song is about the Sewol ferry disaster that happened in 2014, where many artists made songs and highlighted the loss of so many students and people that day. There is a video explaining the music video and song if you are interested.
correction: the song is NOT about the Sewol ferry disaster. no has confirmed that and Namjoon did confirm it was about friendship. the MV is about multiple different stories including the ferry disaster and it's connected because on the annual remembrance of the disaster the survivors sang this song.
But the mv is actually a continuation of their ongoing storyline at tht time ..but the theme did kinda look like what u nr talking abt however it could be a conincidence.....
@@liesje194 you'd need to watch the video where a Korean breaks down what the scenes in the video mean by each scene in order to fully see how a book R.M. read; where the rich elite treated the lesser class on a train (of earth's only survivors) so badly to understand how the book's referring scenes relate to the ferry disaster to understand that there are pretty clear references to the ferry disaster all through the video. One example is; the shoes hanging from the tree are referring to how those young students who really died in that ferry disaster, almost all of them had stayed in their rooms (and other places inside the ferry) as the ferry was going down, because they were obeying the authorities on the ferry who gave instructions for them to stay where they were & await further instructions, which led to their unnecessary deaths, because the captain and crew had already left the ship.....real victims shoes were hanging from somewhere afterwards, that represents a victim who is no longer on earth. Korean culture drills into young people respect for authority, not questioning authority which is why the young teens just obeyed and did not try to get off the vessel as it went down.

In No More Dream everyone was still teenagers except for Jin. Jimin and V were still in Highschool and Jungkook was still in middle school when it was filmed.
The interesting thing is that their old music still slaps. As someone who's more of a rap/hip hop fan I honestly prefer their older style and rlly love their older albums! To this day War of Hormone is one of my fav BTS songs ever. Thankfully they still indulge me with plenty of rap-heavy tracks even with a pure pop focus these days.
I can't be the only one that would watch them see all of the videos again but with subs right? Trust us it's going to be such a different experience now that you have seen them all once seen it again but understanding the lyrics
Please react to 'The rise of Bangtan' series. It's a documentary series, it's super well done and high quality. I think there are 21 episodes (chapters) as of now. You'll follow their journey from the beginning in the correct order (from even pre-debut), and you'll get to know them on a more personal level. What they've gone through, their rise to fame, goofy and professional sides. And also the music and performances in the correct order. ARMY loves seeing reactions to "The rise of bangtan" and it would be especially fun seeing you react to it! (And don't forget to turn on the captions (CC) and set it to English 🥰)
you'll also understand the meaning behind some of these videos lol. I suggest you start with doing chapter 1 & 2 in the same video (I think they're only around 25 minutes each). Here's the link for the first episode: ruclips.net/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/видео.html
for I Need U, there was definitely more than just concepts going on (it's what started their first big storyline that continues in the next few you watched afterwards), but you guys unfortunately missed it because it was the censored version lol. There's a 19+ version that includes some blood, fighting, and overdosing, but it shows a lot of the story (you later see some hints of it in Euphoria). It's no big deal tho since you're just checking out the music and not their alternate universe! unless that's something you wanna dive into later? 👀
When I first discovered BTS and went down the rabbit hole watching their MVs, I focused more on the music and visuals. I was overwhelmed with the greatness of the sound and the MV that I couldn’t bring myself to diving into the lyrics. Later on though I did and I was even more mind blown learning the lyrics of their songs. Made me appreciate them 100x more as artists. Take your time guys, I have no doubt you’ll discover their lyrics soon. Or maybe next time you felt like watching their MVs again, switch on the subtitles. If you ever decide to react to the Rise of Bangtan series, the lyrics there will also be highlighted. Keep doing what you do! You make so many people happy!
The lyrics in "I need you" originally were supposed to be - "I need you, friend", not I need you girl, but since it didn't sound very good they decided to go by more romanticized version. But the true meaning of the song was shown in the MV
i was impressed that you guys were able to pick up on a few things about the Bangtan Universe (their connected music video series) despite not knowing about the BU (or watching the original I Need U mv), so good job! "It's all connected?!" is very retable lmao. btw english captions are available for most of the videos!
The reason is that Jin is 23 years old in the first song, and 30 in the last. Jungkook however, is 17 at start and 25 in the last. Because Jungkook isnt much older than the earliest Jin, Jungkook doesnt look adult yet whilst Jin never looked childish.
2:12:28 “like Groundhog Day? He keeps repeating the same day” I’ve never seen someone vaguely close to the actual storyline without being told haha. The BTS universe is so convoluted you need other people to let you know what’s going on the the MVs, a third of which are connected. Thanks for the reaction! I’ll admit, it kind of killed me everytime y’all would say you had no idea what they were saying when the CC button was right there😭. I’m glad you’ve finally heard their music though! I don’t know anyone else who came to BTS through Run! and learned their personalities before their music!!
Honestly I'm kind of like them. I had always heard about BTS obviously but I started watching funny compilation of them on RUclips before I really started to appreciate their music 🤷♀️ Honestly I had probably watched more run episodes than music videos when I became an Army last year 😂😂
@@chelsea4120 same for me, and not only BTS, but when i first started liking kpop, the first groups i started stanning was because of their personalities, like, i knew videos of them before i knew their music. those were TXT, BTS and GOT7
@@chelsea4120 for me, yt kept recommending me videos like 'txt/bts in america' and it kept recommending me, and i was like one day 'ok, I'll watch it so it won't recommend it to me again', but it was a good mistake on my part, noe it's almost 3 years since I've been into kpop. i got into got7 because i knew they were really good friends with the members of bts and i watched a lot of videos with interactions between them
I, too, started watching them through Run BTS because of the comments from the shorts that kept popping on my wall. The first music video that interested me was Mike Drop when I read the lyrics. This is the first time I had watched this much BTS music since I started following them July of last year although I have already watched some of them repeatedly in reaction videos.
There's also this incredible series called "THE RISE OF BANGTAN" that you might wanna check out. Each chapter is really well-edited and is probably the best bts fan-made documentary out there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics mentioned in the series. Very much recommended!!
"There was no storyline".... Guys, this is the beginning of the Bangtan Universe... That is definitely a storyline 😂 could you maybe react to the Original version of "I need u" please? It's way more meaningful and sad... Also it is really about friendship and not about love... They originally had "I need u friend" as the chorus but it didn't sound as great as "girl"
Commenting as I’m at I NEED U, you guys really need to see the original version to understand it better and see the full story to it. Steph was right about there being a story to the video and Wes was right about it being more about fraternal love. The song itself mentioned the word “girl” and is def on the surface about romantic love, but the deeper meaning about struggles and needing someone in general are there! Gonna keep going now lol, I always love you’re reactions!!
@@capulema8153 They watched the censored version. Groups can’t air 18+ music videos on broadcasting stations, so they’ll normally release a censored version along with the uncensored version.
Halsey has more lines in the Spotify version and yes she was actually there to film with them! Their interactions and friendship with Halsey is so wholesome to watch! 💕
I just wanna add that the Life Goes On MV was directed by Jungkook himself, and the scene on the room with all the members together was in BTS own dorm.
I know you’re shocked about Boy In Luv, but that’s the concept of “manly man” in Korea and it’s prevailing also in other forms like in kdrama, were you have “tough guys intimidating girls” bec they like them or something similar. but BTS learned and outgrew those problemtic concepts
as much as i want them to read the lyrics/cc like almost everybody wants in the comment section, i had a feeling that they unintentionally weren't going to & be focused more on the visual. and i was right! bc i also think they're not the type to do lyrics and analyze them like the other reactors anyway (just a personal opinion tho, i might be wrong). & personally, i think that's fine. considering they usually watch bangtan for their fun stuff, games, and more on their personalities. also considering all of the songs have meaningful lyrics, it can be overwhelming if they tried to digest literally all of it in one video. at least now they know more bangtan's musics than before and see how effing talented the boys are... besides being comedians ofc. 😂 but still, a Rise of Bangtan series reaction would be nice. 😚 luv the 3 hour long reaction btw! 💜
that's exactly what I thought. viewers easily get confused or dazzled if they don't at least know roughly about the whole storyline running through most of BTS MV. through the whole storyline, many MV/lryics are interconnected.
Yes, Jungkook is mostly front and center because that's also his position, they all have official positions in the group: RM - Leader, Main Rapper Jin - Vocalist, Visual Suga - Lead Rapper J-Hope - Main Dancer, Rapper Jimin - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist V - Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual Jungkook - Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Rapper, Center, Maknae Some explanations: Main>Lead (for example: main vocal>lead vocal>vocal) Maknae means the youngest in the group. Visual is a member with good looks that usually takes on acting as well.
"I need u" isn't about a romantic relationship with a girl despite the chorus being "I need u girl", originally it was "I need you friend" but the word didn't flow well so they changed it
BTS films most of their MVs on sets that their staff personally build. The only MV I can recall them filming on location for is Save Me, Spring Day, Not Today, ON (both versions), and Black Swan. Save Me, Spring Day, and Not Today were filmed in Korea. ON and Black Swan were filmed in LA.
2:08 the snickers bars are actually on the same level as the water and fire, because it acts as the source of hobi's pain. in the bu storyline, hobi's mom abandons him with a snickers bar (and it also could be a reference to his addiction). so just like jimin is always surrounded by water (for drowning himself) and yoongi always is playing with fire (for burning himself), hobi is with snickers bars in many bts videos!
It was so interesting to see other people discover the beauty of BTS MVs for the first time. ;-; but at the same time, it was just a tiny bit frustrating because I felt like I wish I could explain the entire storyline to you guys! Because the plot just makes it infinitely more cooler!
Great observations! , V is known as the king of facial expressions in the industry, he is sooooo good at controlling his face . And that's one of the reasons he's a great performer many idols admitted that they imitate V's facial expressions because they want to be as cool as him
Love the longer video reacting to everything!! Just discovered you guys today haha A couple of notes for you (though I'm sure others have mentioned this too!) 1. For the Boy In Luv MV, you guys were talking about the generally aggressive manner that Jin was treating the girl. Fun fact, he actually apologized to her profusely because he felt so bad, even though it was for the MV lol 2. You guys REALLY REALLY need to see the 19+ version of I Need U!! It's explains so much more of the story! There's like a solid minute or two of stuff cut out in the all ages version. Think butterfly effect to get the general idea of the video! Jin is going through and changing little things here and there to help his boys out and put them on the right path. 3. Please watch all of them with subtitles! I've seen pretty much all the other comments saying the same thing, but the subtitles are really so important! In the N.O. video, there are some really important messages that you guys missed because you didn't have the lyrics. On the surface, it looks like a stereotypical "bad boy/hooligan" concept, but it really actually has an amazing message, especially for the school age audience. 4. Save Me was indeed one shot, no green screen! You can see the behind the scenes of it in a video, and it was also very cold so you were right in saying it looks cold! 5. A lot of the "trippiness" you brought up in V's solo "Singularity" is partially due to the lack of lyrics. The song is actually very deep and involves topics like losing your true sense of self, toxic love, and accepting yourself as a unique, singular being. The video makes a lot more sense if you have the lyrics, and if I remember correctly, I wanna say it's based on a book, if I remember correctly. 6. Fake Love actually had no CGI in it! The effects were all very real which is super cool!!! 7. The MV's do mostly go together! There is a consistent storyline but you have to really watch the MV's involving said storyline in order. You can look it up online of which order to watch them in, but you'll want subtitles for this too! 8. There's so many good songs that don't have MV's from them, like Sea, and Born Singer! I highly recommend you check them out! And check out the solo works from RM, JHOPE, and Suga! 9. I also really wish you guys had reacted to Taehyungs first solo song Stigma! Has some great vocals and also ties into the storyline you spotted going on in I Need You. Overall, great video guys!! Love to see people get so hyped about BTS and recognize their improvements! ^-^
i dont think people really understand the point of boy in luv to me it feels like boys experiencing love for the first time and not understand how to express it (from the lines like is this how dad got mom) so they mimicking boy role models who lets face it isnt good role models for stuff like consent i mean with how often they had them be big basically emotionless tough guys who get girls by being strong and tough and commonly grab girl and kisses them without asking and the girls always like it
As you were able to guess, "Ioniq: I'm on it" is actually an ad for Hyundai's line of hybrid and fully electric cars. They also use the song for ads for Boston Dynamics line of robots (BD is part of Hyundai)
Wow!! You guys are literal madlads.. how tf did you manage to pull this off, my head would be throbbing at the end of all this. But kudos to you guys for actually doing it.
they were young, in the first two music videos jin & suga were 20, j-hope 19, rm 18, jimin & v 17 and jungkook 15, now they are jin & suga 29, j-hope 28, rm 27, jimin & v 26 and jungkook 24
Oh this was a really cool surprise!! I’m so happy to see you checking out their music. To answer your question, in the first couple of videos Jungkook was 15, Jimin and V were 17, RM was 18, J-Hope 19, and Suga and Jin were both 20. Okay, now I’m off to finish watching 😂
Basically, why you were confused with euphoria is because you missed most of their story. You need to watch from I need you up to Euphoria, in chronological order, including their wings solos and butterfly prologue. It explains so much, an I really means so much. It's a whole story.
3:12:14 the whale is in reference to their song whalien 52, which is a metaphor for loneliness based on the sad story of a whale that communicates at a different frequency than all the other whales (52 hz) and therefore forever feels alone
Thanks for the great reactions you guys! I really recommend looking into some of the videos lyrics and explanations since you seemed curious! (Eng lyrics are in CC) 1) the HYYH storyline: I Need You, Run, Young Forever, Butterfly HYYH is the name of the albums BTS released in 2015-16 and the music videos(MV) from that era follows a very intricate alternate universe storyline (Some of the videos from their future albums also continue this storyline which is known as BU or bangtan Universe). It can get pretty confusing so i recommend watching XCeleste's HYYH storyline explained video after watching the MV's: ruclips.net/video/2-DEu3ZJtEU/видео.html 2) Wings short films: the Wings album includes the song blood sweat and tears and Boy Meets Evil (the super dramatic cinematic masterpieces lol) the album also has a solo song from each member and a short film for the solos. They are also connected to the BU storyline: ruclips.net/video/nv9M7Fsx2ME/видео.html 3) Spring Day: this is probably one of BTS's most famous songs in Korea and is considered to be about the Sewol Ferry tragedy. Both the lyrics and video holds a lot of meaning. After reading the lyrics you I recommend watching this video that explains all the references and symbolism: ruclips.net/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/видео.html (the narrator speaks really fast but I feel covers everything the best) BTS's lyricism is probably one of their biggest attractions and what really set them apart even during their early debut days, so I think it's really worth taking a deep dive :)
Honestly, this is my favorite BTS reaction channel. I actually really like how you started with the side of BTS that other people only get into after diving into their music - it’s so interesting to watch someone discover them the other way around . That being said it’s hilarious that when you did dive into the music you both committed to watching every music video they ever made. Genuinely impressive hahah.
"I'm glad Jin is finally in a room with other people* *double jin turns around* 😅 god this is so much fun. and your uneasy feeling about euphoria was more than fitting. the youth trilogy has this streak of han and wistfulness and melancholy running through it and yes there is an arching storyline
here is a list of my favourite comments from this video: - "when you've got a game at 1 but gotta go spelunking at 3" - "RM is a cleric?!" - "I'm gonna flirt with you in front of the BOYS, give the boys a shot too! WE'RE GONNA FIGHT THIS OUT LIKE MEN!" - "now they ARE the police" - "they have the best sets ever out of everyone" - "oh yeah, that 70s trend of dumping 30 tons of sand in your living room" and also clarifications (though you've probably already heard them since this was posted 6 months ago): - taehyung is the one who cuts his hair in "danger" - originally the lyrics for "i need u" were gonna be "i need you FRIEND" - when BTS were filming "save me" it actually was freezing lol and yes it was a oneshot with no greenscreen - you will never understand BU (BTS universe) but you made a valiant effort LOL. wesley's right, epiphany is part of it
I appreciate how they had NOTHING bad to say about the boys! It really makes me happy to see your guys' reactions of the videos. I hope maybe you guys will some day react to the videos with lyrics :)
I would also really appreciate if u guys would check out the real meaning behind the spring day song, it's more than just a song it's an emotion and such an important song in the hearts of many many Koreans. U should definitely know the true meaning behind it.
i am BEGGGGGGGGING for you guys to watch all the wings clips that go along with the story line PLSSSSS😭🙏🏽 the meaning is so deep and the imagery and scenes themselves are just so creative and interesting
They put the snickers is not just for fun. There is a story about that is BU (BTS UNIVERSE). In the storyline, his mom abandoned him at the theme park with snickers
Heartbeat song is from a game that a characters are like if their not idols that probably their going in the future Rm - detective Jin - working in hotel Suga - playing piano J hope - a bet Jimin - baker Taehyung - farmer Jungkook - student and athletic
@@mubby7580 It's a reference to the Bangtan Universe storyline and it has to do with something sad that happened to Hobi in the storyline. I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'm being vague.
3 HOUR REACTION LET'S GO!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Edit: Answers and some info! > The "meow" in Just One Day was actually a girl saying "Yoongi-ah" because the line is "Your voice when you say my name" 👀 > They have a lot of MVs in schools because they started their career with a school trilogy. This set them apart from other groups because they weren't trying to appeal to the girls from the start. Rather, they addressed the social problems in South Korea, especially with the youth and how they are forced to follow the dreams of other people. The series "The Rise of Bangtan" on RUclips (created by ARMYs) follows their journey and will definitely help you understand their songs more! (Warning: you will cry) > The plot of their MVs (especially the Most Beautiful Moment in Life story, which follows I Need U, Run, and Jin and Jungkook's solo videos aka Epiphany and Euphoria) is AMAZING AND SO COMPLICATED. It has webtoons, a mobile game, novels, and basically a whole universe within it. If you're interested in that, we can help you get into it too! > Suga IS the ultimate "hooligan" 🤣 When asked who is the biggest trickster and the members chose him, he responds with "I just know how to live in this harsh world" 👀 > Jin is the designated actor for their MVs, but V has also been another important actor in the group. Most especially recently because he is the first member to get into acting and has received an award for the historical drama he starred in. Both Jin and V are amazing actors! Which is dangerous because they're also the ones most likely to mess with you just because 😆 > Oh no, you watched the censored version of I Need U! V acts so well in the end there 😳 > **If there is an explanation video I want you guys to check out, it would definitely be Spring Day Explained!** The song goes so much deeper (Spoiler: It's about a national tragedy and BTS went against the government by releasing it. They might have been added to the list of blacklisted artists, but they got around it by never admitting that the song was about the tragedy.) "What's Omelas" - explained here: ruclips.net/video/Tye1ONFeKis/видео.html 💜 > Jungkook is in the front a lot because he is the center of the group, which is a position in K-pop for whoever is the "face of the group" (although to be honest, at their large scale, EACH and EVERY BTS member is instantly recognized by the general public). Meanwhile, J-Hope is in the front usually for their dance breaks because he is the dance leader (teaches the other members), main dancer (along with Jimin - they have very different dance styles), and is one of the 4 in the dance line (Jimin, V, Jungkook - basically Hobi and the maknae/youngest line) 🕺 > "The vehicle that's shown up the most in BTS is a truck" - Because they couldn't afford extra actors or extra props at the time, they borrowed their manager's truck and had their staff film the other scenes with them (such as the one where JK gets beat up) 🥺 > 1:56:15 YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE 🥺😭💜 I love the effort to understand though! I didn't either until I knew the story behind each member and their relationships in the BTS Universe! (Spoiler: JK is on top of a building because he was trying to k**l himself. Many other members also have their struggles) > 2:03:50 I love Wes's enthusiasm so much! It's so infectious 😆 > Idol MV is notoriously confusing and has A LOT of hidden gems about Korean culture! My favorite detail is how the lyrics go "talking talking", because BTS is complaining about haters running their mouths. But when it shows the bunny in the moon, they change it to "tokki tokki" (which is rabbit in Korean). The IDOL explanation by DKDKTV is amazing! Also: BTS actually reacts to their music videos! While their music is 100% in their control, their music videos usually are decided by their writers, so they get shocked at how the scenes tie together or are edited too. > Heartbeat MV is indeed about their alternate lives! Like the start says, "If you weren't there, would we shine as bright as now?" talking to ARMYs 💜 > The "lanterns" are lightsticks! They have a different name and design for every fandom (see: www.pinterest.com/pin/8022105574436673/) but BTS lightsticks are called ARMY Bombs! Dangerous name to use on security checkpoints though 🤣 > 2:52:55 I agree with you guys! I'd also like to add that V is known to be a snappy dancer, but he's better at switching from chill and flowy to aggressive and snappy in milliseconds. In my opinion, his dancing doesn't get noticed a lot because HIS FACE just draws your eyes. He is called the "Idol of Idols" because younger groups idolize him and study his fancams (videos that only have him in the frame in a performance) to learn facial expressions (He is the master at that) > ON and the more recent MVs are still ongoing and have not yet been figured out by smarter ARMYs 🤣 So we're all confused! 😆 > Yes, the Life Goes ON MV was filmed by BTS themselves! In fact, the whole "BE" album was produced by the members (i.e. the cover art, the photoshoot concepts, of course the music, and this MV) > 3:27:30 WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT V 🤣 The camera loves him and he very clearly loves the camera too 😆 (He actually does love photography though!) Last note: I loved this reaction so much 😭🥺 Thank you for the 3-hour video! We love seeing you check out their music and their more professional career, but I wouldn't be against seeing you just laugh at their antics in RUN BTS as usual 🤣 ARMY appreciates you 💜
@@Physi777 Hahaha! All for BTS and these two! They filmed a 3-hour video so it was only right to repay their efforts 😁💜 I hope they get to read it all though!
Yes Jin and SUGA (Yoongi) more or less remains unchanged, we think they drank from the fountain of youth. On their early years they were hiphop heavy, they debuted with that concept. You got the idea of school on point, they have these school related concepts on their early albums 😊 eventually they evolved into other concepts for youth, etc.
You guys might've been confused throughout watching this, but every music video is in someway connected to eachother to tell a story. In BTS music videos EVERYTHING means something which is why Army sometimes has to go back and watch the same video multiple times to try and theorize/piece things together. If y'all are interested you can look into the "BU" better known as the "BTS Universe" stuff gets real deep. I would suggest asking Army how to go about it, but that's a video for whole other day lol! I'm only an hour in but am enjoying the video so far! 😁💜
I’m only an hour into this beast of a video, but I wanted to comment already to say that it’s so delightful to follow along with you guys. Thanks for putting in the time to make this!
I really wish u would've had the captions on..lyrics are the crucial part of bts's music...they talk about real stuff....u gotta understand the lyrics to understand their music....they write their music from.their own experiences...the music reflects the place they are in at that particular time..💜💜even though bts official tracks are incredible...their b-sides are masterpieces...the depth, the philosophies, different genres...its an ocean of pure mastery and awesomeness..hipe u can dive deeper into this side of bts as well...💜💜
When you reacted to Euphoria and Steph said that she feels bad whenever all 7 members are not together, for Armys that how we also feel. also each solo song usually is the start of the album intro and kinda sets the tone for the main single for that comeback era
i just want to appreciate you guys always give the best for reaction. For bts it's really hard to keeping up with their discography. they really have so much song but YOU GUYS INSANE? THANKSSSSSS I’m really sorry for messy grammer, i can’t speak english really well
Hi Lia! I'm an American learning Korean, and so I know it can be difficult to write in another language. But your English was really good!!! There is only 2 or 3 things I would have written differently. So don't be shy to use English because you did great!
BTS was originally created as a hip-hop idol group. They were heavily rap and hip-hop in their first mini album. The early videos (No More Dream, We are Bulletproof, N.O.) of BTS were about their commentary on the strict rules and expectations of Korean society on young people. Students in Korea are expected to study hard and their future achievements and success are highly dependent on which university they go to and their college course they studied, etc. BTS were students during this period and they were reflecting on their school life. They of course also talked about young love, crushes, etc. ( Just One Day, Boy In Luv).
It was Tae/V with the long hair in Danger, and they gave him a wig. He was only supposed to cut the wig and accidentally cut off some of his own hair. As for 'I Need U' it's not actually about a girl, the lyrics were meant to be "I need you, friend," but it didn't flow as well, and you would need to watch the original 19+ version to understand it better. The lollipop/sucker Namjoon/RM has in 'Run' and 'I Need U' is supposed to represent a cigarette, but you can't show smoking on video in Korea, so they would use a lollipop/sucker instead. By 2015 they were mostly known in Korea, but they didn't become super big in the USA (from my understanding) until around 2016-2018. For 'Save ME,' it WAS cold, cold and rainy, you should see the behind the scenes, and it was a one-shot music video. Edit: 2:29:16 No, BTS World is their mobile game and RM/Namjoon's "Alternate Reality" thing is him as a detective and Jin's is him working at a hotel.
Whats amazing about bts discography is each album represents them in that time. They didn't know who they were in the beginning because they were so young. So you see them grow through their songs and what they are dealing with at the time.
2:38:41 "She was the cloak" Yes "she" represents army and the boy in the story represents BTS. The demon represents all the haters. The sword scene if you notice cuts to tae holding his green microphone ; their sword aka their ultimate weapon is their voice/music. The girl (army) became an omnipresent cloak of protection for bts always supporting them and fighting against the haters. There was a time when bts said they believed armys would eventually grow tired from suffering on behalf of them and leave. That's why they show the cloak getting burnt and the boy shedding tears because they thought their fandom wouldn't stay by their side for long due to the immense hate they got from the industry but they were wrong. Armys always showed up to cheer bts up (just like how that one teardrop on the cloak brought the girl back) That's what they are trying to say. 2:35:01 if you notice the negative space that was formed (between heir shadow and their hands) when the girl and boy held hands, is the BTS LOGO. No bts mv is as literal as it may seem. Every single one of them have sooooo many symbolic meanings behind the most minute detail included.
Can't believe you guyz wacthed everything... alot of respect! 💪 I would actually recommend for anyone... to put on the subs translator. Because then you can see their growth in the songs and know what BTS's message is and struggles.
2:17:12 actually, this is probably the video where they knew the most what they were doing 😂 this came out as big clap back to haters, with so many references to the korean culture (wearing modernized hanboks, the bunny on the moon, the tiger, jungkook’s cough…) and references to specific moments: rm using filters because a hater told him to stop using filters on v-live, V wearing glasses because someone told him not to wear them, suga wearing a shirt with a picture of snow white because he has very pale skin… this is basically bts telling us that they’re gonna love themselves no matter what people say! this is also filled with korean references because around that time bts’ popularity exploded in america, and antis started saying that bts were too “westernized”, so again, a big f you 😅 their performance at MMA 2018 is amazing.
spring day is one of my favs bts songs, i have a lot of favs but this has to be my top 5. the mv, the lyrics, the meaning behind all of it makes me cry. this made me love bts even more. if you havent, i suggest watching a meaning behind spring day video, it explains it all.
Loved that you guys did this but devastated that you reacted without eng subs.. such a shame!! The lyrics help you understand them and their message. Appreciate the BTS reactions regardless though. Thank you for doing BTS reactions! x
You don't have the lyrics but you should know the first three songs aren't about flexing--they're about the youth rebelling against the system. So following your dream, not letting your elders force you into a path that won't make you happy, stuff like that. :)
OMG and now imagine... you watch "boy with love" and you decide to look at their previous 'works' and you decide to include their very first mv and it's "no more dream"... your reaction... Yep, it was me... such a reaction ... And then I was just on a binge, like you, I watched every mv for 4 hours and my brain just exploded ... now I'm experiencing flash back parts and I'm getting goosebumps...
i always love how they made ‘boy with luv’ as a response to their old song ‘boy in luv’. they are having fun with Halsey as a women just acting normal and being respectful as women should be treated rather than their past video when they were going after the girl and being intimidating. they all are wearing pink and wearing “feminine” jewelry, getting rid of old toxic masculinity. it went from ‘IM IN love with YOU’ to “im in love WITH you’
The animation for Make it Right is telling the story of BTS and ARMY I’d explain it here but then I’d have to give you a whole history of BTS and all they’ve been through 😅
I literally just clicked this to see what it was and ended up sitting completely still for almost four hours watching ya’ll. Love your vibe, loved the reaction. Would have been cool if you’d had on the subtitles but beggars can’t be choosers😂 i recommend watching xceleste’s bangtan universe explanation to get a closer understanding of the alternate storyline that follows through some of the mv’s you watched today!
19:35 "Yoongiyah" That was actually Yoongi's mom calling him. They used her voice 1:11:37 Nope, no green screen. Save me mv was completely a ONE SHOT MV. You can watch the behind the scenes of the shoot
2:06:07 i bet if you knew the reason you would cry that much. Jhope mom left him in the park with the sniker bar and never came. Yes she abandoned him 😭
Heartbeat is the original soundtrack for their own video game called BTS World where each have their own fictional story. The shots from the music video are from those stories. Yoongi is a pianist, Namjoon is a detective, Seokjin works at a hotel, Jungkook plays taekwando, Jimin works at a rice cake shop, Jhope is a veterinarian, and Taehyung works at the farm for just a couple of months or something like that. Those are side stories and there is also the main story where BTS is all together and is kind of similar to how they got together in real life but with some changes, so that’s where those last shots in the MV come from.

Guys but why without captions??😭😭😭
To better understand I need you, maybe you can watch the 19+ version, it may help
"everyone else feels so different." - "it's the eyeliner." Steph just quoted a bts meme without even knowing 🤣

I'm telling y'all V is her bias she just don't know yet 😂
@@user-qd5gr8ql2w yeah I think so too haha she mentions his name the most in this
Jungkook is the official center of BTS, that's why he's frequently in the center of dance formations. He's also their main vocalist :)
can you give me the time stamp when he said that
Yesss
@@sanguinesr0se thxxx
@@sanguinesr0se and 2:51:30
exactly i wanted to say this but forgot. Ty for sharing this.
the reason you see jungkook front and center a lot is because he is the official center of bts.He is also the main vocalist often having a lot of lines and with bts usually the one who sings is in center so it makes sense you see him often in center.
Each member has their own position. Like Namjoon is the leader. Hobi is the dance leader. Jungkook main vocalist. These are just a few example
Yess.. the rappers are often seen more working behind music( bang pd called them the three musical pillars of bts) and you will see more of the vocalists as the face of bts.... like jin in bu, jimin v and jk in the front of dance formations....
The lack of subtitles killed me a little bit, lol. The lyrics are *everything* when it comes to their music.
same omg they were watching zero o’clock and saying “why are they so sad?” 😭
same at first I thought it was because the earlier videos still doesn’t have subtitles but I knew dope had them and everything going forward does. I came here to check to see if maybe at some point they thought to turn the subtitles on but looks like maybe not. 🥲 I hope they will go back and at least review lyrics later.
And the fact that they keep saying they wish it had subtitles.
THISSSS! I was sitting here only at 16:57 and being like, "TURN THE CAPTIONS ON, PLEASE"

Jungkook is usually at the center cause he’s the official center of the group and he’s the main vocalist. Every member has their position in the group. Btw Jungkook directed Life Goes On video.
Lol theyre not bad boys, they were fighting for something important. I wish there were subtitles because it would make more sense that way. Nothing BTS does is random. There is always a purpose or a meaning.
Every Run BTS episode is literally random
But Yoongi is still bad boy😏
@@torvisscort318 They’re obviously talking about BTS’ work.
I agree. Their songs are deep and the MVs interpreted them well, but without subs their songs wont make sense as much as they do.
two things could be right at once lmao
You should've put the subtitles on, their lyrics has been really good since day one, they've been talking about the suicidal education system, mental health, struggles that the youth faces and so much more important issues even in the videos where you wouldn't have guessed it based on the visuals
Their early videos didn’t have subtitles. Not until around 2015-2016.
it might've ended up being too overwhelming if they watched 3 hours of music videos while trying to focus on the music, the video, and the lyrics. Altho they might've been less confused of what the message of the music videos were about 😂
This would be like a 8 hour video 😂😂
@@Ahjusshi_Brown No More Dream, We Are Bulletproof pt 2, and N.O didn't, but starting from Just One Day (technically starting with Boy In Luv since it was actually released first) they did, which was 2014. It sucks they didn't have it on the first few ones, but I wish they'd kept checking to see if subs were available for each video. I get why they didn't tho
@@prisharai7225 that's true, I guess watching all the videos in one go also plays into it as it would really been a lot to take in, hope they will read the lyrics off camera while listening to the songs again tho as it really would've explained a lot to them
Steph's right btw, Jungkook's officially "center", it's a designation in kpop meaning member who gets most time in the center position in dance formations (and often also in promotions etc, though I don't think this is the case for BTS). It ties into JK being the main singer (meaning especially earlier on he had the best singing technique and got the hardest parts, plus is usually the one harmonizing with other members) because the choreography tends to center or make space for the member who is singing. They also usually want one of the strongest dancers front and center.
@@jlee2225 so...? We all know! That was just a side consideration bc some groups sometimes center a member who isn't the one singing.
"One of"
nah he is also center when they arent singing or dancing
he is just the company's favorite
wbk
good for him but let's not put excuses
@@ivypirata9332when they are singing the singer is centered. Like I said centers often get center time in promotions etc. I should have said I don't think it's the case for BTS ~anymore~, but I don't have the time to educate people on their history. By now there's a convention of order for BTS but they don't always go by it.
@@saturated3821 obviously Ik that just pointing out jhope as well
By the way, the MVs of I Need U, Run, Forever Young, among others, do tell a story; they narrate events of what the fandom knows as "Bangtan Universe", a universe created by the boys where they are characters going through significant moments in their youth, and through this universe BTS seeks to inspire and teach their audience on their own path of deconstruction and self-love.
The first 3 albums of BTS are their school trilogy, that is why their MVs were shot in a school setting. As the year passed by, and they mature, the focus of the music change as well (I need U, Run, Young Forever) are from their album Most Beautiful moment in life - which focus on being a young adult - being with friends but also going through suffering.
Boy meets evil and Blood Sweat and Tears are from their album wings which was based on a book. It was about losing their innocence and giving into temptation (reason why Jin kissed the statue) - there is a much deeper meaning to this but that is the gist of it.
Spring Day is about missing someone but it is also related to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy - Steph will for sure cry if you watch the explanation if the MV.
o my god the story finally makes sense 2 me lmao, this explanation is the only one that rlly explained things for me
i mean, they never actually confirmed Spring Day was related to the Sewol tragedy, but it's true, everything you said in your comm
42:37 wesley is right!! it's definitely about friends and fraternal love rather than romantic. i believe rm said that he had to change it from "i need u friend" to "i need u girl" because it sounded better lol the entire storyline is very heavily based on the fraternal relationship between the boys (in the story) and the pains of youth and growing up
Imagine if they went with "I need you dude" instead of girl skdjdksksjk... xDD
Could have worked with "I Need You Now" maybe. Example like; "I need you now, friend". Or "I need you now, please" etc.
@@Ganhiwa oh, "I need you now" sounds actually good!
like, I need you boy would sound more logical but I understand that they couldn't do that:()
RESPECT! Any other reactor would have turned this into 100 different videos to milk the views, video engagement ect.. You are some real ones.
True everybody commenting about the subs but don't realize this wasn't easy for them . They really genuine reactors💜
PLUS! It takes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay lot of time and effort to put this into a ONE video.
On one hand, yes, but on the other, if you made one video per song you could get way more into it, song lyrics, MV plus performance video, possible explanation videos, etc. The reactors doing deep dives into the discography are the best but then I guess it's more like documenting how they're becoming ARMYs, whereas this feels a little bit more casual :D (nothing wrong with that)
agree
idc about ppl milking views id rather they appreciate the song more by going into the lyrics. lyrics are the most important part about bts music never reading the lyrics is never truly appreciating what bts want to say. its missing the entire point of why theyre famous in the first place. not cause theyre goofy or great guys but the issues they stand for the subjects they discuss and the people they empower and save with their music. thats the reason theyre bts not run bts or because they look hot or cute. music/lyrics should always be the main focus on the music and messages in the lyrics.
young forever is a really important song to bts, it's basically drenched with the desperation of youth and the lyrics are about how they know this moment of fame and following their dreams won't last forever but they aren't ready to let it go yet. it's possibly their most bittersweet song in my opinion along with spring day, which is another song about grief/missing somene. the lyrics are heartbreakingly beautiful. i hope you react to their lyrics one day :')
The Spring Day music video and song is about the Sewol ferry disaster that happened in 2014, where many artists made songs and highlighted the loss of so many students and people that day. There is a video explaining the music video and song if you are interested.
And that mountain of laundries belongs to people on Sewol ferry🎗
correction: the song is NOT about the Sewol ferry disaster. no has confirmed that and Namjoon did confirm it was about friendship. the MV is about multiple different stories including the ferry disaster and it's connected because on the annual remembrance of the disaster the survivors sang this song.
But the mv is actually a continuation of their ongoing storyline at tht time ..but the theme did kinda look like what u nr talking abt however it could be a conincidence.....
@@liesje194 you'd need to watch the video where a Korean breaks down what the scenes in the video mean by each scene in order to fully see how a book R.M. read; where the rich elite treated the lesser class on a train (of earth's only survivors) so badly to understand how the book's referring scenes relate to the ferry disaster to understand that there are pretty clear references to the ferry disaster all through the video. One example is; the shoes hanging from the tree are referring to how those young students who really died in that ferry disaster, almost all of them had stayed in their rooms (and other places inside the ferry) as the ferry was going down, because they were obeying the authorities on the ferry who gave instructions for them to stay where they were & await further instructions, which led to their unnecessary deaths, because the captain and crew had already left the ship.....real victims shoes were hanging from somewhere afterwards, that represents a victim who is no longer on earth. Korean culture drills into young people respect for authority, not questioning authority which is why the young teens just obeyed and did not try to get off the vessel as it went down.
The subtitles is impotant too, but I appreciate you guys for a long run. Next time when listen to BTS's music please turn on sub. Love you guys
THISSS
I'm glad you said it in a polite way. So many comments have been rude to them for not turning on the captions instead of appreciating their efforts
@@RA-eg7ev Not sure about these two. Why react all at once? The guy just laughs at everything. I felt like they think BTS is just comedians.

In No More Dream everyone was still teenagers except for Jin. Jimin and V were still in Highschool and Jungkook was still in middle school when it was filmed.
The interesting thing is that their old music still slaps. As someone who's more of a rap/hip hop fan I honestly prefer their older style and rlly love their older albums! To this day War of Hormone is one of my fav BTS songs ever. Thankfully they still indulge me with plenty of rap-heavy tracks even with a pure pop focus these days.
Cool to see someone else having war of hormone as one their favorite song of BTS.
I can't be the only one that would watch them see all of the videos again but with subs right? Trust us it's going to be such a different experience now that you have seen them all once seen it again but understanding the lyrics
Please react to 'The rise of Bangtan' series. It's a documentary series, it's super well done and high quality. I think there are 21 episodes (chapters) as of now. You'll follow their journey from the beginning in the correct order (from even pre-debut), and you'll get to know them on a more personal level. What they've gone through, their rise to fame, goofy and professional sides. And also the music and performances in the correct order. ARMY loves seeing reactions to "The rise of bangtan" and it would be especially fun seeing you react to it! (And don't forget to turn on the captions (CC) and set it to English 🥰)
you'll also understand the meaning behind some of these videos lol. I suggest you start with doing chapter 1 & 2 in the same video (I think they're only around 25 minutes each). Here's the link for the first episode: ruclips.net/video/QxAmkAwIEeY/видео.html
agreed!!
Yess plss react to it
Yes please
YESSSSSSS, and bonus and delete screne too if you can
Wes and his crisis with Jin in this is hilarious
"Is the sand Jin"
"Stop locking Jin in rooms"
"This is why you don't kiss crursed statues"
Haha
"Maybe this is one time he should have stayed inside."
I burst out laughing at “is the sand Jin?”
LOL IM WHEEZING
LOL IM WHEEZING
for I Need U, there was definitely more than just concepts going on (it's what started their first big storyline that continues in the next few you watched afterwards), but you guys unfortunately missed it because it was the censored version lol. There's a 19+ version that includes some blood, fighting, and overdosing, but it shows a lot of the story (you later see some hints of it in Euphoria). It's no big deal tho since you're just checking out the music and not their alternate universe! unless that's something you wanna dive into later? 👀
I was hoping someone to explain it to them my English sucks thanks hooman 💐✨
When I first discovered BTS and went down the rabbit hole watching their MVs, I focused more on the music and visuals. I was overwhelmed with the greatness of the sound and the MV that I couldn’t bring myself to diving into the lyrics. Later on though I did and I was even more mind blown learning the lyrics of their songs. Made me appreciate them 100x more as artists. Take your time guys, I have no doubt you’ll discover their lyrics soon. Or maybe next time you felt like watching their MVs again, switch on the subtitles. If you ever decide to react to the Rise of Bangtan series, the lyrics there will also be highlighted. Keep doing what you do! You make so many people happy!
The lyrics in "I need you" originally were supposed to be - "I need you, friend", not I need you girl, but since it didn't sound very good they decided to go by more romanticized version. But the true meaning of the song was shown in the MV
i was impressed that you guys were able to pick up on a few things about the Bangtan Universe (their connected music video series) despite not knowing about the BU (or watching the original I Need U mv), so good job! "It's all connected?!" is very retable lmao. btw english captions are available for most of the videos!
“Jin looks pretty much the same” that’s why everyone makes fun of him for always looking so young 😭😭😭😭 vampire jin ✨
On god bruh. He gets more handsome every year but also doesn't change much
Fr
The reason is that Jin is 23 years old in the first song, and 30 in the last. Jungkook however, is 17 at start and 25 in the last. Because Jungkook isnt much older than the earliest Jin, Jungkook doesnt look adult yet whilst Jin never looked childish.
@@daniel.sandberg.5298 what?
@@daniel.sandberg.5298 jungkook looks grown up (he had a baby face) but jin looks justvthe same lol
2:12:28 “like Groundhog Day? He keeps repeating the same day” I’ve never seen someone vaguely close to the actual storyline without being told haha. The BTS universe is so convoluted you need other people to let you know what’s going on the the MVs, a third of which are connected.
Thanks for the reaction! I’ll admit, it kind of killed me everytime y’all would say you had no idea what they were saying when the CC button was right there😭. I’m glad you’ve finally heard their music though! I don’t know anyone else who came to BTS through Run! and learned their personalities before their music!!
Honestly I'm kind of like them. I had always heard about BTS obviously but I started watching funny compilation of them on RUclips before I really started to appreciate their music 🤷♀️ Honestly I had probably watched more run episodes than music videos when I became an Army last year 😂😂
@@chelsea4120 same for me, and not only BTS, but when i first started liking kpop, the first groups i started stanning was because of their personalities, like, i knew videos of them before i knew their music. those were TXT, BTS and GOT7
@@petitiontoburndownmnet9862 oh wow me too for TXT also for Ateez. I learnt their names from interviews before I had listened to their music 🤦♀️😂
@@chelsea4120 for me, yt kept recommending me videos like 'txt/bts in america' and it kept recommending me, and i was like one day 'ok, I'll watch it so it won't recommend it to me again', but it was a good mistake on my part, noe it's almost 3 years since I've been into kpop. i got into got7 because i knew they were really good friends with the members of bts and i watched a lot of videos with interactions between them
I, too, started watching them through Run BTS because of the comments from the shorts that kept popping on my wall. The first music video that interested me was Mike Drop when I read the lyrics. This is the first time I had watched this much BTS music since I started following them July of last year although I have already watched some of them repeatedly in reaction videos.
1:53:18
She: this isn't euphoria to me
Jungkook:Euphoria☺️
There's also this incredible series called "THE RISE OF BANGTAN" that you might wanna check out. Each chapter is really well-edited and is probably the best bts fan-made documentary out there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics mentioned in the series. Very much recommended!!
"There was no storyline".... Guys, this is the beginning of the Bangtan Universe... That is definitely a storyline 😂 could you maybe react to the Original version of "I need u" please? It's way more meaningful and sad... Also it is really about friendship and not about love... They originally had "I need u friend" as the chorus but it didn't sound as great as "girl"
Commenting as I’m at I NEED U, you guys really need to see the original version to understand it better and see the full story to it. Steph was right about there being a story to the video and Wes was right about it being more about fraternal love. The song itself mentioned the word “girl” and is def on the surface about romantic love, but the deeper meaning about struggles and needing someone in general are there! Gonna keep going now lol, I always love you’re reactions!!
Yeah wich version are they watching. I've never seen this one. Like all the drama is gone...so kind of like the all story is gone!
Plus RM said they used "girl" because "friend" didn't sound right in the song
@@capulema8153 They watched the censored version. Groups can’t air 18+ music videos on broadcasting stations, so they’ll normally release a censored version along with the uncensored version.
you ought to give steph a warning, its very graphic!
Halsey has more lines in the Spotify version and yes she was actually there to film with them! Their interactions and friendship with Halsey is so wholesome to watch! 💕
There is another version of MV that is post by Hype too which is when Halsey has more lines there. You can find it in the youtube ofc..
I just wanna add that the Life Goes On MV was directed by Jungkook himself, and the scene on the room with all the members together was in BTS own dorm.
3:07:22 from the left Jungkook,Suga,Rm, J-hope,Jimin,V,Jin( who you thought was Jungkook)😂
I know you’re shocked about Boy In Luv, but that’s the concept of “manly man” in Korea and it’s prevailing also in other forms like in kdrama, were you have “tough guys intimidating girls” bec they like them or something similar. but BTS learned and outgrew those problemtic concepts

did they react to the pg i need u or original 👀👀👀
@@ellsbellsbabyy PG version
@@itsskye003 dammnnnn :(
as much as i want them to read the lyrics/cc like almost everybody wants in the comment section, i had a feeling that they unintentionally weren't going to & be focused more on the visual. and i was right! bc i also think they're not the type to do lyrics and analyze them like the other reactors anyway (just a personal opinion tho, i might be wrong). & personally, i think that's fine. considering they usually watch bangtan for their fun stuff, games, and more on their personalities. also considering all of the songs have meaningful lyrics, it can be overwhelming if they tried to digest literally all of it in one video. at least now they know more bangtan's musics than before and see how effing talented the boys are... besides being comedians ofc. 😂
but still, a Rise of Bangtan series reaction would be nice. 😚 luv the 3 hour long reaction btw! 💜
that's exactly what I thought. viewers easily get confused or dazzled if they don't at least know roughly about the whole storyline running through most of BTS MV. through the whole storyline, many MV/lryics are interconnected.
Yes, Jungkook is mostly front and center because that's also his position, they all have official positions in the group:
RM - Leader, Main Rapper
Jin - Vocalist, Visual
Suga - Lead Rapper
J-Hope - Main Dancer, Rapper
Jimin - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist
V - Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual
Jungkook - Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Rapper, Center, Maknae
Some explanations:
Main>Lead (for example: main vocal>lead vocal>vocal)
Maknae means the youngest in the group. Visual is a member with good looks that usually takes on acting as well.
Steph's reaction to V laying his head on the railway gave me such mom vibes 😂
"I need u" isn't about a romantic relationship with a girl despite the chorus being "I need u girl", originally it was "I need you friend" but the word didn't flow well so they changed it
this trivia I didnt know.. can you share where I can find the reference for it?
wasn't it i need you boy for the original?
@@BTSARMY-ok4rs no.... It was I need u friend.. But it didn't sound yo kind of right... So they changed it to I need you girl
BTS films most of their MVs on sets that their staff personally build. The only MV I can recall them filming on location for is Save Me, Spring Day, Not Today, ON (both versions), and Black Swan.
Save Me, Spring Day, and Not Today were filmed in Korea. ON and Black Swan were filmed in LA.
2:08 the snickers bars are actually on the same level as the water and fire, because it acts as the source of hobi's pain. in the bu storyline, hobi's mom abandons him with a snickers bar (and it also could be a reference to his addiction). so just like jimin is always surrounded by water (for drowning himself) and yoongi always is playing with fire (for burning himself), hobi is with snickers bars in many bts videos!
It was so interesting to see other people discover the beauty of BTS MVs for the first time. ;-; but at the same time, it was just a tiny bit frustrating because I felt like I wish I could explain the entire storyline to you guys! Because the plot just makes it infinitely more cooler!
Yes you are right
I've been a fan since 2013 and it feels lovely to be watching all of their songs since debut again. It brings up so many beautiful memories
LMAO yesss JIN VAMPIRE AGENDA- “Jin looks the same” 😂😂😂 world wide handsome has the power of anti-ageing
Just a little fun fact, in the Danger mv, V accidentally but his actual hair instead of just the wig 🤣
Great observations! , V is known as the king of facial expressions in the industry, he is sooooo good at controlling his face . And that's one of the reasons he's a great performer many idols admitted that they imitate V's facial expressions because they want to be as cool as him
Time stamp? Where are they taking about Tae
@@taeantisbelongstodustbin6509
In life goes on and butter reaction
Love the longer video reacting to everything!! Just discovered you guys today haha A couple of notes for you (though I'm sure others have mentioned this too!)
1. For the Boy In Luv MV, you guys were talking about the generally aggressive manner that Jin was treating the girl. Fun fact, he actually apologized to her profusely because he felt so bad, even though it was for the MV lol
2. You guys REALLY REALLY need to see the 19+ version of I Need U!! It's explains so much more of the story! There's like a solid minute or two of stuff cut out in the all ages version. Think butterfly effect to get the general idea of the video! Jin is going through and changing little things here and there to help his boys out and put them on the right path.
3. Please watch all of them with subtitles! I've seen pretty much all the other comments saying the same thing, but the subtitles are really so important! In the N.O. video, there are some really important messages that you guys missed because you didn't have the lyrics. On the surface, it looks like a stereotypical "bad boy/hooligan" concept, but it really actually has an amazing message, especially for the school age audience.
4. Save Me was indeed one shot, no green screen! You can see the behind the scenes of it in a video, and it was also very cold so you were right in saying it looks cold!
5. A lot of the "trippiness" you brought up in V's solo "Singularity" is partially due to the lack of lyrics. The song is actually very deep and involves topics like losing your true sense of self, toxic love, and accepting yourself as a unique, singular being. The video makes a lot more sense if you have the lyrics, and if I remember correctly, I wanna say it's based on a book, if I remember correctly.
6. Fake Love actually had no CGI in it! The effects were all very real which is super cool!!!
7. The MV's do mostly go together! There is a consistent storyline but you have to really watch the MV's involving said storyline in order. You can look it up online of which order to watch them in, but you'll want subtitles for this too!
8. There's so many good songs that don't have MV's from them, like Sea, and Born Singer! I highly recommend you check them out! And check out the solo works from RM, JHOPE, and Suga!
9. I also really wish you guys had reacted to Taehyungs first solo song Stigma! Has some great vocals and also ties into the storyline you spotted going on in I Need You.
Overall, great video guys!! Love to see people get so hyped about BTS and recognize their improvements! ^-^
Wow fantastic comment
i dont think people really understand the point of boy in luv to me it feels like boys experiencing love for the first time and not understand how to express it (from the lines like is this how dad got mom) so they mimicking boy role models who lets face it isnt good role models for stuff like consent i mean with how often they had them be big basically emotionless tough guys who get girls by being strong and tough and commonly grab girl and kisses them without asking and the girls always like it
As you were able to guess, "Ioniq: I'm on it" is actually an ad for Hyundai's line of hybrid and fully electric cars. They also use the song for ads for Boston Dynamics line of robots (BD is part of Hyundai)
Wow!! You guys are literal madlads.. how tf did you manage to pull this off, my head would be throbbing at the end of all this. But kudos to you guys for actually doing it.
they were young, in the first two music videos jin & suga were 20, j-hope 19, rm 18, jimin & v 17 and jungkook 15, now they are jin & suga 29, j-hope 28, rm 27, jimin & v 26 and jungkook 24
Oh this was a really cool surprise!! I’m so happy to see you checking out their music. To answer your question, in the first couple of videos Jungkook was 15, Jimin and V were 17, RM was 18, J-Hope 19, and Suga and Jin were both 20.
Okay, now I’m off to finish watching 😂
Basically, why you were confused with euphoria is because you missed most of their story. You need to watch from I need you up to Euphoria, in chronological order, including their wings solos and butterfly prologue. It explains so much, an I really means so much. It's a whole story.
Though, Spring day, not today, Serendipity, DNA and mic drop aren't included in the story.
3:12:14 the whale is in reference to their song whalien 52, which is a metaphor for loneliness based on the sad story of a whale that communicates at a different frequency than all the other whales (52 hz) and therefore forever feels alone
Thanks for the great reactions you guys!
I really recommend looking into some of the videos lyrics and explanations since you seemed curious! (Eng lyrics are in CC)
1) the HYYH storyline: I Need You, Run, Young Forever, Butterfly
HYYH is the name of the albums BTS released in 2015-16 and the music videos(MV) from that era follows a very intricate alternate universe storyline (Some of the videos from their future albums also continue this storyline which is known as BU or bangtan Universe). It can get pretty confusing so i recommend watching XCeleste's HYYH storyline explained video after watching the MV's: ruclips.net/video/2-DEu3ZJtEU/видео.html
2) Wings short films: the Wings album includes the song blood sweat and tears and Boy Meets Evil (the super dramatic cinematic masterpieces lol) the album also has a solo song from each member and a short film for the solos. They are also connected to the BU storyline: ruclips.net/video/nv9M7Fsx2ME/видео.html
3) Spring Day: this is probably one of BTS's most famous songs in Korea and is considered to be about the Sewol Ferry tragedy. Both the lyrics and video holds a lot of meaning. After reading the lyrics you I recommend watching this video that explains all the references and symbolism: ruclips.net/video/FrT4a_Fw6pE/видео.html (the narrator speaks really fast but I feel covers everything the best)
BTS's lyricism is probably one of their biggest attractions and what really set them apart even during their early debut days, so I think it's really worth taking a deep dive :)
Yes! This comment!
up please!!
Honestly, this is my favorite BTS reaction channel. I actually really like how you started with the side of BTS that other people only get into after diving into their music - it’s so interesting to watch someone discover them the other way around .
That being said it’s hilarious that when you did dive into the music you both committed to watching every music video they ever made. Genuinely impressive hahah.
yes it is so cool
Yes, i ready love them 😭
in some way it's even better cause you get know them first by name and personality.
"I'm glad Jin is finally in a room with other people*
*double jin turns around* 😅
god this is so much fun. and your uneasy feeling about euphoria was more than fitting. the youth trilogy has this streak of han and wistfulness and melancholy running through it and yes there is an arching storyline
here is a list of my favourite comments from this video:
- "when you've got a game at 1 but gotta go spelunking at 3"
- "RM is a cleric?!"
- "I'm gonna flirt with you in front of the BOYS, give the boys a shot too! WE'RE GONNA FIGHT THIS OUT LIKE MEN!"
- "now they ARE the police"
- "they have the best sets ever out of everyone"
- "oh yeah, that 70s trend of dumping 30 tons of sand in your living room"
and also clarifications (though you've probably already heard them since this was posted 6 months ago):
- taehyung is the one who cuts his hair in "danger"
- originally the lyrics for "i need u" were gonna be "i need you FRIEND"
- when BTS were filming "save me" it actually was freezing lol and yes it was a oneshot with no greenscreen
- you will never understand BU (BTS universe) but you made a valiant effort LOL. wesley's right, epiphany is part of it
I appreciate how they had NOTHING bad to say about the boys! It really makes me happy to see your guys' reactions of the videos. I hope maybe you guys will some day react to the videos with lyrics :)
Also!: The TinyTAN characters are dressed in their 'MIC Drop' outfits! So if you look back at the music video you'll be able to make out who's who!
I would also really appreciate if u guys would check out the real meaning behind the spring day song, it's more than just a song it's an emotion and such an important song in the hearts of many many Koreans. U should definitely know the true meaning behind it.
i am BEGGGGGGGGING for you guys to watch all the wings clips that go along with the story line PLSSSSS😭🙏🏽 the meaning is so deep and the imagery and scenes themselves are just so creative and interesting
Wes is so close when he said it that Jin is “cursed” in the storyline and in groundhog day 😂 you guys are so perceptive!
Yeah! Unbelievable how many times they just randomly assumed something that is a 100% true hahaha
What's funnier he thinks Jin is cursed in all the MVs 😂
They put the snickers is not just for fun. There is a story about that is BU (BTS UNIVERSE). In the storyline, his mom abandoned him at the theme park with snickers
Heartbeat song is from a game that a characters are like if their not idols that probably their going in the future
Rm - detective
Jin - working in hotel
Suga - playing piano
J hope - a bet
Jimin - baker
Taehyung - farmer
Jungkook - student and athletic
They pain of ARMYs having to watch people laugh at the Snickers bars while we're like: 😭😭😭😭😭
Same 😭😭😭😭
THIS.
What does the Snickers represent?
@@mubby7580 It's a reference to the Bangtan Universe storyline and it has to do with something sad that happened to Hobi in the storyline. I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'm being vague.
Jin never ages, he’s like a irl vampire 🤣
2:08:19 the snickers actually plays a big part on hobi's story, it's a symbolism of his pain
Oh this playlist only included the censored version of „I need you“.
The org version is quite graphic and actually tells a story.
3 HOUR REACTION LET'S GO!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Edit: Answers and some info!
> The "meow" in Just One Day was actually a girl saying "Yoongi-ah" because the line is "Your voice when you say my name" 👀
> They have a lot of MVs in schools because they started their career with a school trilogy. This set them apart from other groups because they weren't trying to appeal to the girls from the start. Rather, they addressed the social problems in South Korea, especially with the youth and how they are forced to follow the dreams of other people. The series "The Rise of Bangtan" on RUclips (created by ARMYs) follows their journey and will definitely help you understand their songs more! (Warning: you will cry)
> The plot of their MVs (especially the Most Beautiful Moment in Life story, which follows I Need U, Run, and Jin and Jungkook's solo videos aka Epiphany and Euphoria) is AMAZING AND SO COMPLICATED. It has webtoons, a mobile game, novels, and basically a whole universe within it. If you're interested in that, we can help you get into it too!
> Suga IS the ultimate "hooligan" 🤣 When asked who is the biggest trickster and the members chose him, he responds with "I just know how to live in this harsh world" 👀
> Jin is the designated actor for their MVs, but V has also been another important actor in the group. Most especially recently because he is the first member to get into acting and has received an award for the historical drama he starred in. Both Jin and V are amazing actors! Which is dangerous because they're also the ones most likely to mess with you just because 😆
> Oh no, you watched the censored version of I Need U! V acts so well in the end there 😳
> **If there is an explanation video I want you guys to check out, it would definitely be Spring Day Explained!** The song goes so much deeper (Spoiler: It's about a national tragedy and BTS went against the government by releasing it. They might have been added to the list of blacklisted artists, but they got around it by never admitting that the song was about the tragedy.) "What's Omelas" - explained here: ruclips.net/video/Tye1ONFeKis/видео.html 💜
> Jungkook is in the front a lot because he is the center of the group, which is a position in K-pop for whoever is the "face of the group" (although to be honest, at their large scale, EACH and EVERY BTS member is instantly recognized by the general public). Meanwhile, J-Hope is in the front usually for their dance breaks because he is the dance leader (teaches the other members), main dancer (along with Jimin - they have very different dance styles), and is one of the 4 in the dance line (Jimin, V, Jungkook - basically Hobi and the maknae/youngest line) 🕺
> "The vehicle that's shown up the most in BTS is a truck" - Because they couldn't afford extra actors or extra props at the time, they borrowed their manager's truck and had their staff film the other scenes with them (such as the one where JK gets beat up) 🥺
> 1:56:15 YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE 🥺😭💜 I love the effort to understand though! I didn't either until I knew the story behind each member and their relationships in the BTS Universe! (Spoiler: JK is on top of a building because he was trying to k**l himself. Many other members also have their struggles)
> 2:03:50 I love Wes's enthusiasm so much! It's so infectious 😆
> Idol MV is notoriously confusing and has A LOT of hidden gems about Korean culture! My favorite detail is how the lyrics go "talking talking", because BTS is complaining about haters running their mouths. But when it shows the bunny in the moon, they change it to "tokki tokki" (which is rabbit in Korean). The IDOL explanation by DKDKTV is amazing! Also: BTS actually reacts to their music videos! While their music is 100% in their control, their music videos usually are decided by their writers, so they get shocked at how the scenes tie together or are edited too.
> Heartbeat MV is indeed about their alternate lives! Like the start says, "If you weren't there, would we shine as bright as now?" talking to ARMYs 💜
> The "lanterns" are lightsticks! They have a different name and design for every fandom (see: www.pinterest.com/pin/8022105574436673/) but BTS lightsticks are called ARMY Bombs! Dangerous name to use on security checkpoints though 🤣
> 2:52:55 I agree with you guys! I'd also like to add that V is known to be a snappy dancer, but he's better at switching from chill and flowy to aggressive and snappy in milliseconds. In my opinion, his dancing doesn't get noticed a lot because HIS FACE just draws your eyes. He is called the "Idol of Idols" because younger groups idolize him and study his fancams (videos that only have him in the frame in a performance) to learn facial expressions (He is the master at that)
> ON and the more recent MVs are still ongoing and have not yet been figured out by smarter ARMYs 🤣 So we're all confused! 😆
> Yes, the Life Goes ON MV was filmed by BTS themselves! In fact, the whole "BE" album was produced by the members (i.e. the cover art, the photoshoot concepts, of course the music, and this MV)
> 3:27:30 WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT V 🤣 The camera loves him and he very clearly loves the camera too 😆 (He actually does love photography though!)
Last note: I loved this reaction so much 😭🥺 Thank you for the 3-hour video! We love seeing you check out their music and their more professional career, but I wouldn't be against seeing you just laugh at their antics in RUN BTS as usual 🤣 ARMY appreciates you 💜
Damn the effort to write that many word🙂
@@Physi777 Hahaha! All for BTS and these two! They filmed a 3-hour video so it was only right to repay their efforts 😁💜 I hope they get to read it all though!
Yes Jin and SUGA (Yoongi) more or less remains unchanged, we think they drank from the fountain of youth.
On their early years they were hiphop heavy, they debuted with that concept. You got the idea of school on point, they have these school related concepts on their early albums 😊 eventually they evolved into other concepts for youth, etc.
You guys might've been confused throughout watching this, but every music video is in someway connected to eachother to tell a story.
In BTS music videos EVERYTHING means something which is why Army sometimes has to go back and watch the same video multiple times to try and theorize/piece things together. If y'all are interested you can look into the "BU" better known as the "BTS Universe" stuff gets real deep. I would suggest asking Army how to go about it, but that's a video for whole other day lol!
I'm only an hour in but am enjoying the video so far! 😁💜
I’m only an hour into this beast of a video, but I wanted to comment already to say that it’s so delightful to follow along with you guys. Thanks for putting in the time to make this!
btw bts HAVE filmed and released a reaction video to every one of the MVs
I really wish u would've had the captions on..lyrics are the crucial part of bts's music...they talk about real stuff....u gotta understand the lyrics to understand their music....they write their music from.their own experiences...the music reflects the place they are in at that particular time..💜💜even though bts official tracks are incredible...their b-sides are masterpieces...the depth, the philosophies, different genres...its an ocean of pure mastery and awesomeness..hipe u can dive deeper into this side of bts as well...💜💜
When you reacted to Euphoria and Steph said that she feels bad whenever all 7 members are not together, for Armys that how we also feel.
also each solo song usually is the start of the album intro and kinda sets the tone for the main single for that comeback era
i just want to appreciate you guys always give the best for reaction. For bts it's really hard to keeping up with their discography. they really have so much song but YOU GUYS INSANE? THANKSSSSSS
I’m really sorry for messy grammer, i can’t speak english really well
Hi Lia! I'm an American learning Korean, and so I know it can be difficult to write in another language. But your English was really good!!! There is only 2 or 3 things I would have written differently. So don't be shy to use English because you did great!
BTS was originally created as a hip-hop idol group. They were heavily rap and hip-hop in their first mini album. The early videos (No More Dream, We are Bulletproof, N.O.) of BTS were about their commentary on the strict rules and expectations of Korean society on young people. Students in Korea are expected to study hard and their future achievements and success are highly dependent on which university they go to and their college course they studied, etc. BTS were students during this period and they were reflecting on their school life. They of course also talked about young love, crushes, etc. ( Just One Day, Boy In Luv).
It was Tae/V with the long hair in Danger, and they gave him a wig. He was only supposed to cut the wig and accidentally cut off some of his own hair. As for 'I Need U' it's not actually about a girl, the lyrics were meant to be "I need you, friend," but it didn't flow as well, and you would need to watch the original 19+ version to understand it better. The lollipop/sucker Namjoon/RM has in 'Run' and 'I Need U' is supposed to represent a cigarette, but you can't show smoking on video in Korea, so they would use a lollipop/sucker instead. By 2015 they were mostly known in Korea, but they didn't become super big in the USA (from my understanding) until around 2016-2018. For 'Save ME,' it WAS cold, cold and rainy, you should see the behind the scenes, and it was a one-shot music video.
Edit: 2:29:16 No, BTS World is their mobile game and RM/Namjoon's "Alternate Reality" thing is him as a detective and Jin's is him working at a hotel.
Whats amazing about bts discography is each album represents them in that time. They didn't know who they were in the beginning because they were so young. So you see them grow through their songs and what they are dealing with at the time.
2:38:41 "She was the cloak" Yes "she" represents army and the boy in the story represents BTS. The demon represents all the haters. The sword scene if you notice cuts to tae holding his green microphone ; their sword aka their ultimate weapon is their voice/music. The girl (army) became an omnipresent cloak of protection for bts always supporting them and fighting against the haters. There was a time when bts said they believed armys would eventually grow tired from suffering on behalf of them and leave. That's why they show the cloak getting burnt and the boy shedding tears because they thought their fandom wouldn't stay by their side for long due to the immense hate they got from the industry but they were wrong. Armys always showed up to cheer bts up (just like how that one teardrop on the cloak brought the girl back)
That's what they are trying to say. 2:35:01 if you notice the negative space that was formed (between heir shadow and their hands) when the girl and boy held hands, is the BTS LOGO. No bts mv is as literal as it may seem. Every single one of them have sooooo many symbolic meanings behind the most minute detail included.
YES WES!! V WAS DRESSED AS DETECTIVE CONAN IN THE DOPE MV 😆
You’re the only reactor I’ve seen catch that
almost EVERY music video played ...
both: "this is my favorate" 😂🤣🤣
Can't believe you guyz wacthed everything... alot of respect! 💪 I would actually recommend for anyone... to put on the subs translator. Because then you can see their growth in the songs and know what BTS's message is and struggles.
The fact that Jin is literally trapped in a groundhog day situation and Wes just casually guessed it. Man, I wish you knew 😭😭😭
2:17:12 actually, this is probably the video where they knew the most what they were doing 😂 this came out as big clap back to haters, with so many references to the korean culture (wearing modernized hanboks, the bunny on the moon, the tiger, jungkook’s cough…) and references to specific moments: rm using filters because a hater told him to stop using filters on v-live, V wearing glasses because someone told him not to wear them, suga wearing a shirt with a picture of snow white because he has very pale skin… this is basically bts telling us that they’re gonna love themselves no matter what people say!
this is also filled with korean references because around that time bts’ popularity exploded in america, and antis started saying that bts were too “westernized”, so again, a big f you 😅 their performance at MMA 2018 is amazing.
3:32:01 well he is called “king of facial expressions”
He conveys so much, especially in live performances
And he's none other than V aka Kim Taehyung.
spring day is one of my favs bts songs, i have a lot of favs but this has to be my top 5. the mv, the lyrics, the meaning behind all of it makes me cry. this made me love bts even more. if you havent, i suggest watching a meaning behind spring day video, it explains it all.
I have to stop now. No lyrics , laughing for nothing , not a moment of silence. It’s impossible to understand what is going on.
I think V was the youngest first from his face, especially during the era of the song "Dope"
Loved that you guys did this but devastated that you reacted without eng subs.. such a shame!! The lyrics help you understand them and their message. Appreciate the BTS reactions regardless though. Thank you for doing BTS reactions! x
You don't have the lyrics but you should know the first three songs aren't about flexing--they're about the youth rebelling against the system. So following your dream, not letting your elders force you into a path that won't make you happy, stuff like that. :)
OMG and now imagine... you watch "boy with love" and you decide to look at their previous 'works' and you decide to include their very first mv and it's "no more dream"...
your reaction...
Yep, it was me... such a reaction ...
And then I was just on a binge, like you, I watched every mv for 4 hours and my brain just exploded ... now I'm experiencing flash back parts and I'm getting goosebumps...
i always love how they made ‘boy with luv’ as a response to their old song ‘boy in luv’. they are having fun with Halsey as a women just acting normal and being respectful as women should be treated rather than their past video when they were going after the girl and being intimidating. they all are wearing pink and wearing “feminine” jewelry, getting rid of old toxic masculinity. it went from ‘IM IN love with YOU’ to “im in love WITH you’
The animation for Make it Right is telling the story of BTS and ARMY
I’d explain it here but then I’d have to give you a whole history of BTS and all they’ve been through 😅
I literally just clicked this to see what it was and ended up sitting completely still for almost four hours watching ya’ll.
Love your vibe, loved the reaction. Would have been cool if you’d had on the subtitles but beggars can’t be choosers😂 i recommend watching xceleste’s bangtan universe explanation to get a closer understanding of the alternate storyline that follows through some of the mv’s you watched today!
more or less same
19:35 "Yoongiyah" That was actually Yoongi's mom calling him. They used her voice
1:11:37 Nope, no green screen. Save me mv was completely a ONE SHOT MV. You can watch the behind the scenes of the shoot
2:06:07 i bet if you knew the reason you would cry that much.
Jhope mom left him in the park with the sniker bar and never came. Yes she abandoned him 😭
Heartbeat is the original soundtrack for their own video game called BTS World where each have their own fictional story. The shots from the music video are from those stories. Yoongi is a pianist, Namjoon is a detective, Seokjin works at a hotel, Jungkook plays taekwando, Jimin works at a rice cake shop, Jhope is a veterinarian, and Taehyung works at the farm for just a couple of months or something like that. Those are side stories and there is also the main story where BTS is all together and is kind of similar to how they got together in real life but with some changes, so that’s where those last shots in the MV come from.
