The guys, especially RM have been struggling for a while. Their level of fame turned then into ambassadors for Korea basically. RM as the leader and English speaker has been thrust into speaking, basically for all of Korea, the company and the other members. They just wanted to do music and they feel like they've lost sight of that. Honestly, I'm shocked they've been able to hold it all together this long.
Well said.
This! All of this!
Yes, exactly.
💯
This man is really trying to understand and appreciate BTS, so please show him some love by taking the time to hit the like button. 💜
Enjoy streaming Wildflower & Indigo, ARMY!! Borahae!
I’m so proud of him and how he is going on his BTS journey.
Much love thank you ♥️♥️♥️
@@emmamcintyre6997 thank you so much 🙏🏽♥️
Totally agree and I love how he want's to know our take on this a well what a gem he is.
1,000%. Hrs going to make a great Army because he already understands. I didn’t listen to music before BTS because the lyrics were so basic. His journey is starting like mine did without the RUclips channel. He’s going to make a great ARMY member in the future.
About the end, I feel that the scene switches between stage and flower field is like he is finally figuring out how to balance those two. He has realized that he also needs the calm and peace like he is just chilling in the field, so that he then can also then manage to be on the front stage and perform and enjoy that also. The song is his journey that then in the end comes to him finding a balance or knowing what he needs to be happy 💜
That’s a pretty deep analogy, I like that ♥️
I feel like those purple flowers represent ARMYs, as toward the end scenes keep switching from the ARMY purple light field at the concert to purple flower field surrounding him. No matter up or downm well keep cheering you on Namjoon 💜
@@opal2703 yeah
RM is ridiculously talented as a song writer having I think 209 writing credits now. He worked on this song since he got the idea in 2016. He worked with Docskim, who has been a producer with BTS since the early days he helped produce Lie and Outro Tear and is the keyboardist with the live band who goes on tour with BTS. Docskim intended this to be his last song and lost his passion for music but the process of working on this song gave him back him love for music. RM inspires even those closest to him. The whole album is amazing.
His other solo work is also just as lyrical but different feel. Consider that RM was 17 when he started BTS, he had to deal with a lot backlash that most kids his age didn't have to deal with, since he is the leader. So he dealt with it through his music, so he always inspiration through all that. My favorite of his solos are Seoul, Do You, Joke, Moonchild, and Change with Wale. 😁
Damn yeah that’s had to be hard . It’s dope he has solo music I’ll definitely have to check that out!
@@PeeteHouse Just to let you know, they all have solo music. Each of them have solo songs on their albums and upload songs to soundcloud for fans. RM, SUGA and J-Hope have mixtapes as well. They are now coming out with solo albums and songs. J-Hope came out with an album a few months ago, Jin came out with a song with Coldplay and RM just dropped his album. The other members are all working on solo albums.
@@PeeteHouse all of the members have solo music. We are waiting for the rest of the members to give us albums. Jin's album will be in 2024 though. he will get out of the military than.
RM is credited as a composer and lyricist in every song in his new album, which wild flower is in. They usually write their own music with a few little exceptions.
That’s freaking talented and rare these days!! Thanks for the info
In fact he's also the top youngest sonwitter in KONKA. (Korean's music society) whith the most credits at the most early age. He's a great lyricist. (Sorry for my bad English. I'm Spanish)
They? Namjoon/ rm is the main lyricist on Bts.
@@Lalamendez201 yeah but the others write lyrics too. afaik Yoongi and Hobi always write their verses themselves and of course the vocal line contributes too. Joon writes the most but everyone does it
@@wtdrmfrthwbzn yes, jhope and Yg write theirs verses most of the time, but vocal line once in a blue moon. Namjoon is the main lyricist, and had to work so har on writing for the others. Stop it with the narrative that vocal like does just bc of a couple of songs each. Some of vocal lines are good performers. Typical kpop idols. Tired of army using nj’s work and words all the time to make it about Bts. Bye!
I’ve taught Lit & poetry for a dozen years and Kim Namjoon is my favorite POET. His songs are layered filled with imagery, symbolism & metaphor. Yet all his songs go hard. I think blew out my car speakers yesterday listening to Indigo on loop. The thing is RM is also a beautiful human. Oh man there is just to much to tell you! First of all BTS is not Kpop. The Korean artists that RM features are the REAL Korean artists. Kpop is a manufactured industry.
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS ALBUM. No my friend you NEVER can go too deep with RM or BTS.
The few Hate comments you get are from Kpoppies who have been jealous of BTS for ten years. Just ignore them. 💜 I followed you just to see where this goes. You really had good insight into Wildflower even as you say without any context. ❤️🔥
I think you’re spot on with your interpretation! This year they put out a video for their 9 year anniversary “Festa Dinner”. Basically they were expressing to their fans all of their thoughts and worries about their future as a band. Fame definitely shackled them and they didn’t feel like themselves anymore. They were the first to really break through the American music market and I think the general public and the music industry labeled them, put them in a box and tried to make them something they really weren’t. To me, it felt like for them to be recognized and be played on American radio, receive a Grammy was if they sung their songs in entirely English. It was so disheartening to see them get snubbed by the Recording Academy for two years. 😔 So many layers to this but yeah there was too much pressure from the world. I think RM is saying he just wants to put his feet on the ground as an individual, find himself, find peace and be calm while staying true to himself.
Thank you for your reaction!! Ignore all the haters and antis 💜
I'm sorry you had some bad experiences with Army. The rest of us are quite embarrassed that these people exist in our fandom and try to spread love and knowledge that will hopefully combat the few delulus. We tend to be very protective of BTS after years of watching them face so many struggles with haters and racists. They made it despite the K-Pop industry, not because of it. However, they were lucky that their label wanted them to write their own music and tell their own stories. RM had the weight of the group on his shoulders. It couldn't have been easy. He has always had a good head on his shoulders and was determined to show the best of himself and the group. We watched him doubt himself and beat himself up for quite a while until he finally realized that he was just going to be himself. Despite that he still struggled to really understand who that was and you can see that in the progression of songs. His song Intro: Persona is kind of a precursor to this song. And, yes, most of the time he's a pretty deep guy and so are his lyrics. He's a literal genius with an IQ of 148 so you know the smart ones often are big thinkers and he is definitely a thinker, philosopher, poet, lyricist and badass rapper (you'll see). And your friend was right, they actually all have to enter the military for about 2 years. Jin will go in a few weeks and I think RM will go after he promotes this album. The album is straight fire! I highly recommend you give it a listen. Also Doolset is a great place to get the most accurate lyrical translations. Borahae 💜
Thanks for your reaction. I Apreciate you paying attention. This is typical RM. 😁 Very deep and honest.
BTS has been through too much. Not only from Anti fans, but from the media and the music industry. First on their turf and then worldwide. Specially America. They were extremely mistreated. RM is the leader, so He got it a bit more intensely than the rest.
He struggled with loads but didn't give up on himself or the members he lead.
BTS' story is beautiful, but it is rough. I will suggest you watch "The Rise of Bangtan" it is a indie documentary, very informative and well made.
Please focus on the supportive people. You are doing great! ARMY is a very positive and informative community..
Haters have a difficult job description. Make it easier on them by giving them NO attention 😁
Lmao love the last part of your comment 😂
Much love. & thank you ! It’s crazy that ppl can’t hate on talented artist
@@PeeteHouse Hey, welcome again. I was wondering about you. You made a great choice by listening to this song. This is part of his new solo project. Maybe you haven't heard, but the band is on hiatus. Although they've done solo work and uploaded it on Sound Cloud, this time they are doing everything solo, just to have the experience and grow as artists and human beings. They still see each other and have a weekly tv show, but are real busy surprising us with their art. And yes, true Armys are very welcoming and cheerful, but remember this is not a perfect world 😉. Thanks for your sincere reaction. They won't be exempted from the military service, they are ready to go when the time comes. See you soon, I hope.😉
@@PeeteHouse ppl hate because they don't love themselves its actually sad.
The Rise of Bangtan is no more Aneesa took it down sadly. We are trying to get it back. She posted on Insta, here and twt about it.
When he said the line “me no hero, me no villain, I’m barely anything”. It broke my heart cause he was a hero to so many people and literally saved them including me. But that still doesn’t change the fact the he is also a human just like us. And can get overwhelmed by all these titles people claim us to be.💜people should think of them as people and not as idols anymore.
Here is what I took from the song:
In the very first verse, he talks about how he wished for a “beautiful fall” where he could applaud and smile. To me this means, when it was BTS’s time to hang it up, they would bow out gracefully.
However he then says how fame shackled him. This part in particular I feel is referring to the success of “Dynamite” and how it unexpectedly turned them in to mega global superstars. Originally BTS were going to take their hiatus in 2020 after their Map of the Soul tour but it was cancelled due to the pandemic. So instead they made a fun light hearted song to lift everyone’s mood but it ended up being the song that both skyrocketed them to superstardom and also “shackled” them. Because after this success, their intended break could not continue as the demands from the label, media as well as millions of new fans wanting more and more from the group. Suddenly, they were putting out music that was inauthentic to themselves (Butter, Permission to Dance); tracks that were written by other producers and songwriters in order for them to win a Grammy. Making all sorts of content from shows to video games, etc in just a short time. just doing literally everything and anything. And on top of that then their own country’s government took advantage of their fame and started using BTS as ambassadors for many government sponsored projects. They suddenly had been giving so much more responsibility than they had ever anticipated.
They were already tired. They were ready to take their break after working for the 7 years but they had to delay it because of all the pressure to deliver more.
The line where he says , “society is all for the loudest voices and here i am still speaking silence” i believe is a direct correlation from what he spoke about in their last Festa. He was in tears. BTS has one of the biggest voices and influence in the world right now. But there are many things behind the scenes he cannot speak about and has to put on his persona of “RM” to be happy for the fans and most likely for the labels demands also. Jimin from BTS also mentioned during the Festa that they wish they could tell us everything that’s going on with them but they can’t.
RM being on stage alone is symbolic of his persona of “RM of BTS” whereas him in the peaceful nature is his true self as Kim Namjoon. You can see in the video there’s contrasting imagery of him going back and forth from him being in peaceful field and then the darkness and chaos of the storm. Namjoon is a huge nature enthusiast and you can see from his instagram he enjoys being outdoors.
and these the lines, “Flower field is where I’m at, open field is where I’m at. No name is what I have. No shame I’m on my grave.” really speak to that core part of him. When he’s out in nature, he doesn’t have a name. Nobody knows him. And when he says he’s on his grave meaning this is where he is peaceful. Death is usually symbolic of finally having peace.
If you get an opportunity, please also check out “Interlude: Shadow” by SUGA. Another rapper from BTS. He also shares similar sentiments about the dark side of fame that came with being apart of BTS. How as the spotlight grows, so does his shadow. He shares the same conflicting feelings about how these are things he wanted but at the same time the higher he goes it scares him.
anyway thanks for your video! hope to see you reacting to shadow soon!
Well said💜
I agree with nearly all of this. During that same Festa dinner, I remember RM saying he felt he had his finger on the pulse of who BTS was until MOTS, but has felt lost since then. And of course Dynamite is what came next. I know a lot of ARMY won't like me saying this, but I get the feeling RM felt like a sellout with Dynamite. It was 100% written and produced be Americans, and for THAT song to be the one that made them reach new heights must have been devastating for him. It sent the message that with RM at the helm, leading their music, he was the "cause" of them not being able to break the ceiling. And what really breaks my heart is that ARMY pushed that song so hard not because it was ARMYs fav song ever, but they saw the potential for it to get the general public's attention and they thought that would be a good thing. And of course in many ways it was, but really I think it made BTS think ARMY liked the Dynamite sound and image best of all, which is so not true. It's all so complex. It just makes me sad when I think of the role ARMY unknowingly played it causing some pressure and hurt to our beloved 7.
Anyway the one thing I don't totally agree with is that the Korean government or their label took advantage of their fame. They may have, but I also think they made certain decisions out of pride and also out of the pressure they put on themselves.
@@luvBTS7 The reason I believe that is because the way the South Korean government gave them so many responsibilities in becoming the face of South Korea. Everything from becoming ambassadors to South Korea’s tourism to becoming presidential envoys and awarded diplomatic passports. The whole debate of will they be exempted from the military even with the government officials giving out polls to Korean residents if they believe they should be exempted or not. I personally think BTS may have felt like they were being tossed around which is why when Jin abruptly announced his voluntary military enlistment they government was shocked.
RM, main songwriter. More than 200 credit songs in KOMKA.
He's a great lyricist and is known he like/loves poetry and all class of art, paintings, sculpture, literature... He's so amazing and Indigo is a total collection of masterpieces. Please, check out the Indigo album and lyrics.
Indigo is a deep album. Rm is a deep minded person. It describes RM his struggle with the hate and fame they got over the years.
Heading from a concert to the next one, every time on the road, no break for recovery. Between the concerts, rehears, practice, interviews, practice, sport and diat, song writing, and that for 9 years. No time for them to find them self. There is no time for meeting family and friends or having a good time around things you like. What normal young people do. And this in this young age. In this business, it isn't allowed to make any mistakes. Immediately, you get hatred. Just working, not being a human.
And while he speaks and understands English, he was the translator for the group and held the most hate from overseas away from the group.
RM is a smart guy with a good soul, and I hope this Solo way gives him a bit more peace and freedom, what he long time not have. And give him power for the Militar.
With this album, he shows how he felt and struggled with all the years. And in the ende of what I wrote, I have to say Youjeens voice fit so well to this Song. She's amazing.
BTS as a group have a massive discography and of those hundreds of songs, I would say RM is credited as a songwriter in almost all of them with Suga and then JHope just behind. The other members all have writing credits as well, but not as many as the rapline. They do also have collaborations with other songwriters or with in house writers and producers. PDogg is their main producer. Although Suga is also a fire producer in his own right.
RM wrote the lyrics for Wild Flower. It was produced by Docskim who said in a recent interview that he had actually been planning to retire from producing until he worked with RM on this song.
About your last paragraph: In the Zach Sang intrvw, he was talking about Erykah Badu (not Youjeen), how he was worried to ask a legend like her to sing his lyrics. also worried it might seems a bit rude.
@@parisparis9928 Ah, thanks, I misremembered.
@@parisparis9928 is Korean culture
Also, when he says he'll never be like them. I think he's talking about the people who are willing to sell their souls to the industry to make money. He doesn't care about that. He instead chooses to possibly have a smaller audience but make the music that's in his soul.
BTS writes and produces the majority of their lyrics and RM is one of the main writers for the group. His lyrics are very poetic, very deep 💜
I think the Guide to the members of Bangtan by Taylor Nakamoto will answer a lot of the questions you have. But all 7 members of BTS have written and produced songs for the group or solo songs or subunit songs that feature just a few members but not the whole group. RM has written the most songs for the group out of any of them members. And not just the whole group or just the rap line, but he wrote Singularity as a solo for V (if you watch the MV for that make sure to also watch the Bookish Theories explanation video because that song is deep, like Mariana Trench deep) he also wrote Zero O’clock for the vocal line. Another deep song. Are you seeing a pattern yet? RM has a profound introspection and then writes the songs of his inner self. But Big Hit also has in house song writers and producers that work on some BTS songs, and BTS’ 3 English songs were all written and produced by others.
Just finished it actually! really amazing video! I’ll be uploading tomorrow
Your take was spot on. I think the last minute or so breaks it down perfectly. Kpop comes with a lot of passionate, defensive people - sorry if you had to reading upsetting comments. You're doing great 💙
Thanks allot ! Love the support ♥️🙏🏽
rm is the leader of bts, the biggest group on the planet. they started in june 2013 and have topped the beatles and michael jackson in the music industry. they have over 700 awards plus diplomatic status. rm is telling us about his feelings, inner struggle[identity] and overwhelming pressure in general to remain 'himself'. being in the spotlight 24/7, with the music industry, korean government and western politicians all pulling in many directions, he has to fight to stay himself, the poet, the musician. he was and is just a rapper in the group bts. ego, vanity and all the things that come with ultimate fame is not him. the other members jhope and jin have put their feeling out over the last 3 months also. they are all very humble and pure human beings living in a dog eat dog world and to add racism and discrimination to the mix is heavy. watch bts by taylor and the rise of bangtan to understand them and their lyrical writings and music. welcome to the bts rabbit hole you are about to be amazed with artistic greatness from 7 young men.
He did a tiny desk concert. I highly recommend it.
I actually seen that in my trending ! I was going to do that one before I seen this video
Thank you for your honest reaction.
As for the military, they all gotta go at some point before they turn 30. The eldest member is enlisting on December 13th. The rest of the members will enlist and all will come back together as a group in 2025(Announced by BigHit, their label). Military typically lasts for 18 months.
All members are in the process of releasing solo music and content.
Jhope - Jack in the box (Album)(Check out his Lollapalooza Performance, He made history as first korean artist to headline the event and highest ticket sales in 31 year Lollapalooza history)
Jin - The Astronaut (Single Album)(Watch his performance in Coldplay concert with Chris Martin Introduction)
Jungkook - Dreamers (World Cup Song) (He performed in Fifa World Cup Opening ceremony in Qatar. Please check it out)
RM - Indigo (Album) (Watch NPR tiny desk)
They all sound different. In a very good and diverse way!
Please do check them out.
RM's new solo album Indigo is a masterpiece. There are many featuring artists like Erykah Badu, Anderson Park etc. He wrote at least 95% of the lyrics for his album. I think you will appreciate it.
Sorry for the long paragraphs. I got excited 😅
i love that you took time to understand the message... so your clapping is highly appreciated. rm's lyricism is top-notch so it deserves this attention to it. 💜💙
This is RM leader of BTS and he's called the master of songwriter and composer 👑 he has more than 208 songs credits under his name and is known to be great rapper and lyricist 🔥
This one is deep but Rm also wrote a BOP about his (get ready for it) .....His Dimples....... 😃 One of my favorites too. Name of the song is DIMPLES and sung only by the vocal line.
His whole New album Indigo is written and producer by himself and guests (singer, songwriters, producer) in 8 tracks to 10.
It is all about his 26 to his 29. All his feelings, regrets, doubts, fears, burdings, shame, passion.... And that he will come back stronger.
In this song it is his feelings that he wanna shout and express to the World. It is strong, powerful with no filter about what he felt since his 26.
So you interpreted it right 😊
Ty Namjoon for this incredible amazing first solo album about your last years till now. Now we know you better in a way what were your struggles that you hid under the BTS fame/glamorous during those last years.
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU.
And thank you for keeping through this BTS'journey. You are doing great.
💜
so glad to see your smile..he is a poet that is grateful for his fortune and his life. Youjeen is magical...watch this live
For sure!!!
New sub…His Indigo album is based on his 20’s…the journey from beginning to now…when he soon turns 30 and will be entering the military. 💜…looking forward to more BTS content.
Yes, RM wrote the song. It is one of 10 songs off his new solo album called Indigo. He did have assistance with Producing his songs but that is different than writing the lyrics and composing. He likely had help in Composing the music to go with the lyrics, especially for his collaborators. RM is truly a genius lyrically. He is involved in writing many of BTS' songs as well. He, and the others, have been having some difficulty with the Fame now that they are Sooo big. They've become political figures, and they also own part of their company and really are the ones that made the company as big it is, so it's a lot of pressure to keep up the fame and the income for the company. Right now, as of mid-2022, the group is on hiatus as far as group music, and each are working on solo works while they one-by-one enlist in South Korea's mandatory military. Jin, the oldest "hyung" (older brother) of the group was the first to enlist in mid-December. We aren't exactly positive who will be next. J-Hope was first with his solo album "Jack in the Box", then RM with "Indigo", and Jin did a solo single "The Astronaut" performed in Coldplay. Jimin is next with his 6-song album coming out in March 2023 and called "Face". Suga/Agust D is doing a solo tour in April/May, including several shows in the U.S. in smaller venues than a BTS concert would be (always stadiums). We don't know if we're getting a tour with existing music or if there will be an album also. The two left are "V" and "Jungkook" - the 2 youngest of the group. Jungkook recently said he hasn't been working on his solo album. V was just in a television show filmed in South America, but I don't know the status of his solo album. They have all been doing other non-music group activities, and other solo activities as well.
RM is known as a poet with his lyrics. And to answer your question they all have contributed to all their music from the start from writers to producers, all of BTS is very evolved with their music and message
Namjoon is a hell of a poet. That's where it starts for him. Folks have explained the song already, but I couldn't resist saying this. Yeah, his songs are often this deep. Not always, but Indigo is full of meaningful things, and so are most BTS songs. RM's lyrics got me interested in learning Korean so I can maybe someday understand his poetry better.
I love this song so much. Youjeen's vocal cuts through to my heart. The whole thing is just raw emotion... I want Namjoon to find the kind of beauty he needs. To be a flowerwork... Wildflowers are just as beautiful as fireworks, if you think to look at them. And they last. I hope he finds a way to create art that lets him stay with the wildflowers. The song after this on the album answers it, actually, and it's really hopeful and sweet.
And BTS as a whole - they have 3 songs they didn't have a hand in writing, out of 300ish. RM is one of the main writers. They do have a whole creative team at HYBE, so they're not the only ones doing the songwriting, but they drive the music. Each of them has also created songs and mixtapes that are entirely self-produced as well - usually SoundCloud releases - which is an interesting way to get a sense of them as individuals.
I love how much you dug into the lyrics... I think there's a lot you'll enjoy in the BTS discography. And asking sincere questions is great.
I'm sorry you've gotten hit by the haters. They're not a large percentage of the fan base in my experience, but they're loud. It's not anything you're doing or saying - there's no way to say things perfectly to make them happy. I had one yell at me for a couple of days once because I said Jin sounded particularly good in a performance and this person decided that meant I hated JK. (Seriously. It's really something.)
So since those folks aren't worth trying to please, I can speak for the rest of us and say that if you look into their work with a sincere and open mind, you're doing fine. You're not going to upset us by asking if they write their own music. Or by getting their names wrong, or not liking certain songs... or whatever. You're a respectful person. 💜
Thank you for your reaction!!! It's always a pleasure to see someone being honest on their opinions about them and making the effort to understand where they are coming from :) My fellow Army have already left pretty amazing comments explaining in depth but Id like to just point out that the best way to understand BTS is letting their music and lyrics speak for themselves and asking questions. So in that sense, Id love if you react to BTS Room live to check out some snippets of their discography. We will guide you through it and recommend other tracks later :) It's okay if you dont like everything too, as long as it's expressed respectfully (we have had some bad experiences with that throughout the years lol). Just have fun discovering them and talking to us!:)
It’s his feelings thru out his career
Just finished recording BTS Guid!!! Definitely took me by surprise ! Will be uploaded tomorrow for Christmas 🎄
I'm new to your channel. I love watching people discover these amazing 7 young men. RM is a poet. He appreciates art. He also creates it...through music. His solo album Indigo is out now. Please check it out! He has songs with Erika Badu & Anderson Paak & others. 1 is in military now, Jin. RM may go next not official yet. I discovered them a couple yrs ago.. wish I knew about them sooner! Check out J Hopes solo album Jack In The Box....its great too! Or his previous solo album Hope World. Their live performances are awesome! 💜 Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for the sub and insight !! 😊💜 they are a talented bunch
6:14 interessante observação, e mais ainda se considerar que todas as 3 músicas que você reagiu (as letras de Yet to come, Mic drop e Black Swan) foram escritas pelo RM haha e todas elas têm letras profundas, com significados únicos, e marcantes na carreira deles. Na verdade. RM é bastante conhecido por isso.
That’s wild lol I think he’s becoming my favorite to be honest !
A lot of the 'bad' fans aren't ARMY just so you're aware they might not even be a fan at all. It's not actually unusual for non fans to try and make ARMY look bad, it's very sad but true. Also some of them are just kids and they don't really know anything yet or have respect for others but hopefully they'll learn.
Most true ARMYs are respectful but honest if we think you've take a wrong turn we'll let you know.
RM's is quite happy for us to take what we want or need from his lyrics and song however he does have a video explaining the album and each song which you can look at if you're going to review the album (which i very highly recommend).
I'm sure others have told you but all of BTS have to do military service there is no one in the group that is exempt.
BTS do have a few songs they didn't write but not that many, they're highly involved in their music.
Also yeah ask us whatever you want literally anything we'll answer, you want to know their hobbies, fav colours etc it doesn't matter just ask. (Also yeah we do know stuff like that lol)
Rap line of BTS always writes their own parts. RM is one of the main song writers, he involved in most of their song lyrics. I really like how he thinks and express it in lyrically.
I can tell how are they thinking about certain topics through their musics, that’s why I really like them.
BTSs and rms music is always deep man.
All of them talk about their own lives in their music.
In btss music they talk about universal themes and feelinf which is still based on their own life.
In their solo works they talk about themselves and their own personal feelings.
Indigo by rm is about himself and how he explored his 20s.
Jack in the box by jhope was about his greed for doing more music.
Astronaut by jin was his farewell before going to the military.
So yeah bts always talk about themselves man.
Yes, Namjoon = deep. Always, every time. I just love him, I love how he songs exactly what I feel 💜
They literally went through the growth as humans go during life BUT , with the responsibilities and hardships while being so young. All seven members are in a point nowadays that they are more in tune with what they want and who they are as artists. All of this whole sharing with the fans trough their artistry. 💜💜 They are humans beings first. 💜💜💜
BTS write and produce their own music. RM is the main songwriter, but all three of the rap line are main songwriters for the group. All seven members have experience with writing, composing, and producing for the group and for their solo projects. Of course they do collaborations with other artists and even accept songs occasionally, but they work very closely with their procuction team. PDOGG is their main producer, and out of the BTS members, I would say SUGA produces the most for the group. You will get a breakdown of what each member does in the Taylor Guide. I like that you are curious and asking questions. Right now all seven of them are working on their solo projects before they have to enlist in the military. JIN is the oldest and the first one. He will be going soon, this month, I hear by Dec 13. Today is JIN's Birthday, and he turns 30 years old Global age.
They talked about their hardships they were going through at their ninth anniversary dinner. It's been tough, they couldn't tell us that they were going into the military for a long time, and it was hard on them. According to their company, they will all be enlisted by mid 2023, after they all finish their solo promotions. All seven of them will serve 18 months. So far J-Hope, JIN, and RM, have dropped their solo projects. I'm expecting SUGA or Jimin to be next. But their are still four members to drop their solo work. Their agency also said they will be coming back together as a group sometime in 2025, I'm unsure of what RM meant by the "Because I will never be like them." lyric. I also don't know what he means by his poetry has protected him so far. There are things that we as fans don't know, because they are bound by their agency on some things. But I have noticed that there was something going on behind the scenes, we won't know unless they tell us or it comes out somehow. i also remember a comment about they have gone through heart break this year. It can't be a romantic heartbreak, becuas they said "They" as in the group. so that is all I know. Just that they really are going through a lot. I know J-Hope has touched on it as well. Anyway, I've commented a book now. So thanks for the reaction. I left another song link for a song from his album, you might want to bookmark the youtuber 'Enjoy BTS More' she's amazing at adding subtitles to BTS videos, and she researches and adds information. Thanks,
Just wanted to point out that although we cant be sure, the line "I Will never be like them" could be related to their change in music with the English releases. They have always pushed boundaries and they are different to almost any other group in the Kpop industry So they had to fight that first and then the American industry trying to pigeonhole them. RM mentioned that he has felt he lost the music direction of the group since Dynamite and he doesn't like that now they are all mainly known for these releases. This time focusing on the sólo projects is meant to give them the opportunity to explore their artistry without all the expectations they carry as BTS and to get them back to their roots. Also yeah, military is around the corner and they have always been pretty clear that BTS as a group is all 7 of them or nothing
Namjoon a.k.a. RM is a genius lyricist.
They have an in house production team that's been with bts since the beginning. Each bts members has been credited at some part of the production in almost every song. Sometimes during solo works, they seek guidance from each other as well (in song writing, etc.) When it comes to collaborations, there songs that's already been produced from one artist that's shared to the other but the boys often manage to incorporate their own voices/lyrics into it. You'll learn this along the way 😊
I hope u have headphones on so you can also appreciate the production of their songs but so far awesome reactions. Thank you
Thank you !!! 💙
They write a lot of their own music, but they do also work with other writers. They also work with other producers.
They decided that they're all going into the military. Jin just graduated from boot camp and seems to be doing well. You should also watch Jin's Astronaut, Vibe by Taeyang feat. Jimin which just came out, the Busan concert, Run BTS show is great for laughs, Rookie Kong, BTS on American Hustle Life, and get on Weverse for their Bon Voyage and In the Soop shows. Also, check out Big Bang. They're O.G.s in Korean music industry and the Tannies are huge fans of them and
It’s okay you can pause & talk in between, after all it is a reaction video. Your suspicion was correct. Wild Flower is a sharing of his personal struggles, identity crisis, the pressure/intensity & the loneliness he felt. The lyrics are raw, emotional and heart wrenching that even just as a listener I empathise to him. Wild flower brought us along his roller coaster ride of his 20s (where he climbed to become the biggest band in the world, bringing near bankrupt company to billion $$ company and what it feel like being on top) - the storm, fireworks, barren land, calm flower field. Very deep and personal song. RM has been the groups spokesperson, the main face/shield of BTS and been in the industry for more than a decade - this album Indigo is the last archive of his 20s and rather than living a short lasted fame he want to glow beautify and peacefully like a wildflower.
I love our Wild Flower Namjoon, and I love his song #WildFlower! His costar Ms Youjeen is phenomenal and makes the track aurally ethereal! Thx for watching n listening to it!
Great Reaction D, you are really taking in the lyrics & learning to understand our Tannies. This is a very important album for Joon, Namjoon has always struggled with who he is whether he is a Rapper, a Politician or an Idol or who is Kim Namjoon the civil servant, this song is so beautiful & deep & a true reflection of honesty and a message to ARMYs to explain what he is dealing with mentally atm & that is why we all adore & love him so so much, Joon being my Ultimate bias since 2015 it has been a pleasure to watch him grow as an artist & see his struggles to find his “Real Me”,
the Indigo album is an absolute masterpiece, every track gives you more of an insight into Kim Namjoon, you may also want to check out his other 2 mixtapes RM & Mono. J-Hope & Yoongi also have Mixtapes & solo albums that let you understand who they are as artists. All members write their own lyrics & Namjoon, J-Hope & Yoongi have always self produced their own albums but they do have producers at Big Hit/Hybe that they work closely with as well like Supreme Boi & PDogg.
I thought Tannies was about V's dog,Can you explain
Tannies is short affectionate name for Bangtan, but I think everyone is referring to them now as “Cookies” as per Hobi confused VLive a couple of weeks back when an ARMY asked him where all the other Cookies were
This song is beautiful and hurtful at the same time
Definitely here to support your journey learning about BTS and its members! There's no wrong way to approach the journey, because we all took different paths to get here, and there's so much to see, learn, and really digest. The majority of songs in the group and solo catalogues have depth, and from what I understand, the group always intended that their music reflect their own stories while having messages that any human can relate to, as well. I know when I started really listening to the group in 2020, after Dynamite, I was familiar with a handful of their hit songs, but had never analyzed lyrics, had never listened to livestreams and interviews or seen their documentaries. I learned really quickly how deep and genuine everyone in the group is, and I think the size and passion of ARMY is a testament to that. I hope your journey is filled with a lot of joy and positive vibes!
This is worded perfectly. I feel their pain and daily struggles. It’s not all glamorous. These guys have fought battles to be where they are and had to be what society and Korean culture said they had to be. They just want time now to be their individual selves, but of course when that starts happening for them then they have to pause yet again for mandatory military. They have to be exhausted yet want so bad to keep Army happy and want army to love them just as Much as individuals as we do OT7. Such an amazing group of young men with all having hearts of gold…easy on the eyes too 😉 love my boys 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
RM is one of the main writers for the group and all rappers write their own lyrics. You should check out his 2 mixtapes and he has a song with Wale from 2017 that I know you would appreciate called Change.
As for the military all 7 members have to go. It's mandatory for Koreans. The oldest is already left for duty. Also JHope was the first to debut his solo album and he debuted on the Lollapalooza stage as a headliner you should check it out. They will eventually have a solo album out before they come back as a group in 2025
I think you’re right on track. Since RM is the leader of BTS and the only fluent English speaker, he’s got additional pressure to deliver and behave to certain expectations, even more than your average famous person since they’re a global phenomenon and he’s spoken at the UN General Assembly 3 times, as well as the White House. He started just as a kid who loved hip hop, and has grown into this. They all are required to go into the military very soon so I think they wanted to take this time to reflect and release solo work to reflect on their identities as individuals before they become soldiers in the military.
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. RM wrecked us bad. I cried reading the lyrics my 1st read through. Damn, RM! It hurts that he felt this way. Dang it. This brings me back to what he said at Festa Dinner. Youjeen was perfect. Don't know her but she sounded great. I look forward to learning more about her. She is a 45yo rock singer. She is part of a band. They are legends in Korea. By the way he did a live on Weverse too. Not the live i was expecting. 😅Hope u can react to that as well. U can watch it here they posted it. He also did an interview and I'll bet we will get behind the scenes so u can watch that and find out more info. This is my fav song. I've heard a few and they are not catchy to me. I need to hear the full album still. Lots of connections with older songs.
I suggest watching the explanation video from Bookish Theories. Great channel to follow. This song is how RM felt when he wrote it. It's a really hard life. Things move at a fast pace and he has no time to think about his feelings. Yes, he is very tired. Military (18 months) will give him a break. He will get what he yearns for here a rest but he might also regret that wish after the fact. We will see how he feels in 2025. RM is our poet and philosopher. All his stuff is deep. Yes, they write a lot of their music. They also have in house writers that help them. Because this is RMs solo work he writes all the songs on his album with assistance. doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/?s=wild+flower Pls check out doolset lyrics of the korean songs. Produced by DOCSKIM and
Written by RM, DOCSKIM. Through this track, RM expresses his desire and struggle to live like humble, tranquil wildflowers rather than a flame that quickly blows out. RM has mentioned the theme of wildflowers throughout the years. For example, in a 2015 interview (as part of HYYH On Stage Epilogue Program Book), when asked what role he would want to take on if he joined the cast of a young adult movie, he answered, “I’d be fine just being a wildflower bloomed on the side of the street.” In an April 2017 post “들꽃놀이,” the Korean title of “Wild Flower,” he said, “Perhaps in our lives, we need wildflowers [들꽃; pronounced deulkkot]-rather than flames [불꽃; pronounced bulkkot] or cherry blossoms [벚꽃; pronounced beotkkot]-in bloom, tranquilly” after going out to see cherry blossoms with his parents and hearing about his mother’s love for wildflowers that are in bloom tranquilly.
The Korean word for fireworks is 불꽃놀이 (pronounced bulkkotnori), which is a composite word of 불꽃 (pronounced bulkkot; flame) and 놀이 (pronounced nori; play, amusement, or recreation). 불꽃 itself is also a composite word of 불 (pronounced bul; fire) and 꽃 (pronounced kkot; flower), making it the flower of fire. To highlight the rhyme, I’ll stick to the deconstructed version, flower of fire, in my translation. The Korean title of this track “들꽃놀이,” pronounced deulkkotnori, is therefore a wordplay of 불꽃놀이 (pronounced bulkkotnori) with 들꽃 (wildflower, flower of the field) replacing 불꽃 (flower of fire).
All BTS members have to go to the military. It's mandatory. RM, JHope and Suga will go in the next 3 months. They are finishing up their work. They are not allowed to record songs while they are in the military. All members have to go before 30 yo. Jin who is 30 now is doing basic training for a month and than will be moved to the frontlines. We all praying for his health and waiting for him to come back to us in 2024. BTS will return as a group in 2025. It will be wild! In the meantime army will vote for them and stream their albums as much as possible. Our work is just beginning. Fighting! Excited to hear ur thoughts on mor songs. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
We shouldn't forget what Namjoon said : INDIGO is his diary of his 20's (of those 4 years)He said this album is born from his feelings at that time. 😭 This ALBUM gives us an insight on HOW namjoon felt during those years.

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

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

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

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

Fun fact: Before BTS began doing it, it wasn't normal at all for Korean idol groups to release songs with deeper meanings, discuss serious topics in their songs, acknowledge issues of vulnerability like burnout, depression or mental illness. It wasn't normal for idols to open up about their personal troubles at all. In fact, doing so got some idols thrown out of their companies. It was also not normal or common to have a running storyline/theme that is carried through multiple albums and/or MVs and songs. But BTS did it all so successfully, and broke those stigmas, to the point that now many other Korean idol groups have started trying to do those things, with varying degrees of sincerity and success.
A.R.M.Y.;
A= Adorable
R= Representatives
M= Master of Ceremony for
Y= Youth
The Korean terms that are used often
- hyung = older brother (also used for really close friends)
- maknae = youngest of the group
- sunbea(nim) = senior
NOTE : Do consider subscribing to BANGTANTV, if you haven't done so yet. It is BTS' personal channel where many behind the scenes and other interesting videos are uploaded.
Boys to elder males: Hyung
Girls to elder males: Oppa
Boys to elder females: Noona
Girls to elder females: Eonnie
'Hyung' is the term boys use to call older male friends. It means older brother but it can be used not only to family members.It's part of the Korean honorifics culture . You will hear sometimes the maknae line(JK, V, Jimin) call the older ones Suga-hyung, Jin-Hyung, etc. It's cute. Boys call Older brothers hyungs and girls call older brothers Oppa, boys call older sister/friend Noona. There's a clip where Jimin called his stylist Noona which is cute.
Yep there are subunits.
Vocal line- Jk, Jimin, Jin, V
Rap line- Suga, RM, JHope
Dance line- JHope, Jimin, Jk, V
Main Visual line- Jin, V, Jk, Jimin(but all members are handsome btw).
Main songwriters, composers and producers in the group- RM, Suga, JHope.
Hyung line- Jin, Suga, JHope, RM
Maknae line- Jimin, V, JK
Real Bts fans will show love and respect because that is the core of Bts
Welcome to BTS journey there’s pleanty to hear and see and much to be amazed by. I hope you enjoy the ride ❤ thank you for your reaction
I think you are getting the core of the message. Ultimately RM is the only one who knows for sure, but their music has always always been what I trust the most in terms of their communication so I say go with what you got out of the song
Grammys were invented for songs like this. And there are lyrics here I think everyone can relate to.
RM Best leader and poet. he is our comfort. I really appreciate your curiosity. the whole album is written by him and it's about his 20s. with the album Indigo he is closing the chapter of his 20s. he will soon turn 30 and enlist in the military. for Koreans, it's kind of like a milestone. becoming a man so to say. Sorry for the extremist. there are Army and then there are solos and Antis. there are also some that claim to be Army but are really not they just do it to make the fandom look crazy and extreme. RM has addressed it several times to ignore, block, and move on from negativity and the real Army follows that motto (orders are orders) that is the best way to differentiate the fandom. in this video alone I saw that you seem to understand RM well. when you have time, I hope you can do a reaction to and see your take on his interview with Pharrell on his Album and journey to fame. . From musician to musician
Thank you for trying to understand the meaning of the song and for being so respectful with BTS as a whole. Keep up the great videos
Loved how you paused to read all the lyrics. The supportive / real army are kind & respectful and we do not mind how many you pause, how long the video is. The only thing we want is for people to listen and enjoy BTS’s artistry and be respectful. If the person doesn’t like the music, that’s fine. Thank you for a wonderful reaction.
Yes RM did write this song and as far as I know they all write there music this song is beautiful that he wrote this was his debut for his new album that’s why he is by himself and yes I think they are all going in military ❤️❤️🇺🇸
Great reaction. Please don't feel like you can't ask questions at any time. Many of us like watching reactions because it's like seeing the content for the first time again. Part of seeing something for the first time is wondering what's going on and what things mean. Your reaction was thoughtful and insightful. Don't let the haters get you down.
They write, compose, produce and co-produce their own songs, 90% of their songs are made by them and 10% were given to them, or written for some else based on their ideas.
They been in the indutry for almost 10 years, so is dificult to explain every thing.
I know you liked Yet to Come, but none explained it to you that there are many references to other of their songs in that video, their journey, and hopes for the future, maybe on your own time or with us you can watch these MVs and songs:
1. No more dream.
2. Sea( no mv, search for the lyrics, is a hiden song in one of their albums)
3. Boy in love and, Boy with love( to their fans, for all their love and support)
4. I need you
5. Run( no Run BTS, just Run from 6years ago)
6. Butterfly epilogue
7. Spring day
8. Blood sweat and tears
9. You never walk alone
10. Epilogue: Young forever
I think with this songs you will understand BTS, if you pay attention to their lyrics. In Yet to come, there are references to all those songs, and with that you an see their grow and journey, to end the first chapter of their lives, their youth.
This year they even released a song For Youth, dedicated to them( their youth), to Army, their family, friends, and all the people that were with them.
They have some songs just dedicated to Army too.
Missing out on his song "Joke"! A must!
Really love how genuinely interested and open minded you are and just want to welcome you to the family 💜
Namjoon/RM known as Philosoper who rap 😊💜💙
Rm's whole album is so good. He said it's basically his diary. Rm always has my favorite lyrics.
Maybe you should give it a lisent to RM album Indigo on your own time if you are enough curious, even if you don't react to it, i think you might love it, is on Spotify, iTunes and other music plantforms.
I haven't heard anyone elses take yet but my theory on this video is as follows - At the start he's on high ground and he is surrounded by incredible fireworks in the sky. I think that this refers to the attention and love given to the tannies. The vid gets dark and barren and forboding followed by a storm. Maybe this is the backlash he/they get, maybe making him feel stripped of creativity. I think that the parts which are nature and serene is what he is looking for - what he needs in order to cope with the previous stuff and feel artistically fulfilled. He doesn't want fireworks because they burn bright but burn themselves out, instead he's looking for the peace and serenity of 'flowerworks' ie nature. I too think that the stage and the field comparison is about him understanding the need for balance. There's loads more of course but these are my first thoughts.
If you are interested in RM process and thoughts behind each of his songs on his Album Indigo, I recommend watching “RM Indigo Album Magazine Film”. He talks about each song and what it meant to him. RM struggled between his identity between RM and Kim Namjoon. “RM” is the name that he is known by whether it’s for BTS, his music, and as an Artist. “Kim Namjoon” is his real name. In the video I recommended, he talks that this album is something that is truly his and represents who he is as Kim Namjoon.
As BTS member, he yearned for fame. The group's fame exploded internationally beyond anyone's expectations ---awards, stadium records, #1 songs, collabs with top American artists,White House visit, singing at United Nations, American talk shows, etc. It has become so overwhelming, too much pressure, living up to societal pressures, etc. With raw honesty, RM is finally telling us he just wants to be himself and go back to enjoying making music,. RM is a songwriter, rapper, producer, art collector, etc.
Wow first time watching a reaction video from you.. filo army 🇵🇭here, welcome to the family, borahae! I am interested to see your BTS journey and I am more than happy to join your journey and watch your videos - we army don’t care if you keep pausing to share your thoughts etc.. also, yes pls don’t mind others - just do you and note that we appreciate honest, genuine reacts. Look forward to more BTS content. 💜
Your interpretation is right, the song is about his experiences as a celebrity and everything that comes with it, but in general, I feel like a lot of celebrities can relate to these lyrics as well.
Thank you sooo much for this 💜💜💜 RM is the main Rapper in BTS and the Main writer ( a poet)
He can do it all 😂💜
Literally 98% of their songs comes out of his studio ( writing and composing) he’s so talented
Just found your channel. I am enjoying witnessing your BTS Journey.! Thank you for having an open mind and trying them out - and get ready to go deep into the BTS rabbit hole. I know some may be overprotective of the boys, but majority are just happy to have new BTS listeners. They are amazing, inside and out. Have fun! 😅💜🫰🫶🏼
Hey I just wanted to say to keep the comments respectful, that also includes amongst each other. I’ve been seeing some nasty comments going back and forth between views and that’s not the purpose behind the videos.
Yes, BTS write alot of their on music.
Love your reactions and the way you want to know genuinely more about them 💜
Thank you so much 💜💜
In my opinion RM he’s one of the most brilliant lyricist in the industry this man mind thinking and brain is insane at his young age it’s incredible like he was meant to be a true artist who can share authenticity with ppl 🫶🏻💜
Yes and he is the main songwriter of BTS in general (although all members especially the rappers contribute) but they also have songwriters jumping in sometimes. But this project is highly personal and it's him, he started as a poet and then turned to rap when he was 13.
I'd highly recommend his solo npr tiny desk
Right now all 7 members are doing solo gigs. They are all getting ready for their military mandatory inlistment. So they will all be together again as BTS in 2025. So again this is a perfect time to work on their solo albums or projects. Jin the eldest is already serving his time he will ne finish with military duty June or July 2024. Yes, all of BTS music have very deep messages. 💜
Great reaction
just be yourself !
Rm is for me one of best rappers ever.. he will be up there with the greats Tupac, biggie, Eminem.. etc, intellectual mind put to music, but asked to do too much all in a span of 9 yrs…
RM Tiny Desk 🤯🤯💜💜
First, Thank you for reaction RM's new solo album. 🙏💜RM started rapping at the age of 13 and spent 10 years on stage with BTS.
Hopefully you've already heard the "Yet To Come". RM honestly talked about his feelings in this song. BTS wants to share their happy moments, sad, and hard times with ARMY. They want to share stories as people and people, not stars and fans.This song also conveys what RM thinks and feels at this moment in a song. that gives me comfort again. thank you 💜 감사합니다 💜
There are always people who are going to hate on you. Don't mind them. Than you for reacting to BTS and their members. I appreciate your effort trying to understand, learn about them, reading the lyrics. 💜🫰🏻
Is nice see that in 4° react you get the vibe to get a context, bts and his solo projects act like that. Isn't a hit maker, his songs has meaning and sometimes they just say come on and dance with us.
Okay. Apologies. Novel ahead, but I couldn't help it!
It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song or watch someone react to it, Wild Flower always makes me cry because of how much Namjoon and the other six have suffered. They've been going on this way, feeling lost and burnt out since before the pandemic, but they didn't tell us a THING. They endured for ARMY just to make sure they were there for us throughout the past three years. They were supposed to have their Map of the Soul: 7 world tour back in 2020 (this is where Black Swan comes from; look at the lyrics now that you know), then go to the military, and were supposed to all be back by mid-2022 is what they said during during their anniversary dinner this past June (technically, Yoongi said "we'd be back by now" and only mentioned taking a break; the military thing wasn't revealed until the end of 2022).
Like... we're upset that they have to go to the military (because I'll be honest here, they've done far more for their country than any musicians who actually have been exempted by South Korea, so ARMY will be forever bitter about that), but we've been absolutely DEVASTATED that they hid their suffering for so long. ARMY in general just wants them to be happy and healthy. Ask any one of us and we'll tell you that. But it really hurts when they sacrifice those two things for us.
As you continue on this journey, you'll see that the relationship between ARMY and BTS isn't just about a music group and their fans. It sounds crazy to some, but this bond we all have is completely different from anything you typically would see with a musician. And I've never felt this way about a group before either (and trust me, I was a total Tokio Hotel hardcore stan back in 2010, but it wasn't the same). Now, there are BTS fans, but they're not the same as ARMY. They like the music, but they don't share the bond, and for whatever reason, those on the outside cannot understand why we love all seven of the guys so much until they become attached themselves. BTS has always mentioned that we're all like a family, with Taehyung mentioning that we're all connected by a purple string (like the red thread of fate). And if you ask any ARMY, we'll tell you that the guys feel like that to us as well. They've been nothing but humble, grounded, kind, generous, and truthful with us this entire time. They've grown, but their ideals for a better world haven't changed, and they only give themselves each 5% credit for their group's existence and success. They rarely brag, and when they do, it's warranted (Mic Drop was basically a response to all the haters that they've continued to endure since before debut, and this includes South Korean media as well), but you will never hear them say that they're the best at anything. They often question it and are befuddled by such a title. Which is why they mentioned that in Yet To Come.
Their passion and humility alone are enough to love them, but their personalities make them even more lovable (see their vlogs and Vlives, the Run BTS series, In the Soop, Bon Voyage). They share what they can with us--what they feel comfortable with telling us, that is--which obviously isn't everything (we all deserve privacy after all), but compared to other artists and groups, I've never seen anyone love and care about someone as much as BTS loves and cares about ARMY. Jungkook, the youngest (the Maknae), even has ARMY tattooed across his knuckles with our fandom symbol and a purple heart ("I purple you" means to love and cherish you forever because purple is the last color in the rainbow). The letters also help to make up the other six members' names, as both ARMY and his older "brothers" (hyungs) are everything to him. BTS is so incredibly talented and precious, and I wouldn't follow a group that wasn't sincere in the way that they are. I know I've gone on such a cheesy ass rant about BTS in general when you just asked about Namjoon specifically, but any time one member is mentioned, it's always gonna end up shifting to all seven of them because, as we say, they're OT7. They've suffered a lot, both publicly and quietly, and we knew, we did, but we didn't know just how much pain Namjoon and the others were in. So hearing Wild Flower hurt, even after we knew what was supposed to have happened after Map of the Soul; even after we knew that the lyrics in that album's songs were already describing their burnout and fears of no longer loving music. Namjoon's lyrics are more raw in this though, I think. Which is probably why so many ARMY keep crying when we hear it lol
However, I think we were comforted by the concert scene in the video (you get why there were purple lights now? lol), and the fact that Namjoon said that he and BTS would return strong in 2025 to show the world what they can do. He would LIKE to do a comeback for the anniversary of their HYYH Era (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life), which would be in the first half of that year. So we'll see what happens. They never make promises they can't keep, and they never say anything they don't mean. I'm gonna miss them once they're all gone into the military, but I have no doubts that even if a million people stop being fans, the guys will come back to see that they're just as loved as when they left.
PLEASE, PUT ALL THE BTS REACTIONS ON THE PLAYLIST!!!!!
No success without hate. It tells you you doing something real when you get the hate. they just signposts.
Thank you for your genuine reaction. Please don’t allow any negative toxic fans to speak for ARMY….true army just wants open minded respect and your reaction was all that. RM will have to go to military soon, as all members will start going, with the first being this month. They have been struggling and they are quite open with us about those feelings which is why we can be protective. Because they will start leaving, they have been recently putting out solo work (BUT, they do each have solo songs on most of their bts albums, which can get confusing)…anyway, I look forward to your journey! 💜💜💜
RM writes all his own music. BTS as a group does a mix - RM is their main songwriter but others write too and they have company songwriters.
In terms of the song ‘I’ll never be like them’ could mean a lot but RM has dealt with a lot of shit from the South Korean media and the industry and I think he means he’s not going to engage with it. Just a guess. There’s also been some beef with other artists in the past who took issue with his transition into a kpop member from an underground rapper, so could mean that. I could see a lot of meanings.
Just a comment for the algorithm, cause I like how much you understand even though you don't know much about K-POP in general and BTS in particular. 💜

Much love appreciate the Sub !!
I lovee how raw ur reaction is but he is the best lyricist ever
Also pls never be afraid to ask questions we have good and bad sides of this fandom
They do wrote their own music both in a group and in individual project. Their discography is big and diverse. Their lyrics are always deep and creative, i recommend looking at translation from websites called "doolsetbangtan" cause their translation are the best and they breakdown all the wordplays and references that we as non-korean speaker missed. And the whole rm album indigo is firee btw my fave tracks are wildflower, still life, yun, closer and hectic
