OMG, this girl is a genius! This is the very first time I see someone talking about the persona without even knowing yet anything about Map of the Soul! Amazing, really!, so spot on!
i love how gobsmacked she was. it felt genuine. this is actually BTS. dynamite, butter and PTD are the "different" ones according to armies. we just vibe to them but we feel these ones to our bones 😭💜. you dig deeper and you'll fall in love even more
RM is the main writer of most of BTS songs. He’s a genius of 148 IQ , main rapper of BTS. Suga the lead rapper is one of the main production members. Jhope rapper, main dancer is also one of the main songwriter, producer Other members also contribute in writing process. Unlike other bands , BTS writes and produces their own songs. That is what makes them special. React to BTS House of Cards, Dimple , Pied Piper Liver performance
Here's a little theory about this music video that I follow: So in Fake Love, Flowers represent love in general. We can see Jin during the first chorus protecting a flower in a lantern as debris flies around but in the end he wasn't able to protect it because it was fake, toxic love. The flower turns to dust. Cut to when the music stops, Jungkook walks into a room with a pile of dust/sand and a lantern on top, referencing the destroyed love. He picks it up and has a bit of an epiphany from the look on his face. The dust turns back into flower petals. But it's different this time. It's self-love. It's not locked in a lantern but freely floating in the air. And he made that love himself, as it came from his hands. He learned to love himself. He found the answer. No wonder the next album after this one is called Love Yourself: Answer. Such a beautiful music video.
It’s great how much you can reflect and think when you listen to a BTS song. This can be a lesson in literature, music, film class. BTS are great actors also.
Spot on! It's about the fake love you have for yourself! Also yes BTS are super artistic :) they write these amazing lyrics that really get you thinking. Definitely react to Black Swan if you enjoyed Fake Love 😊
5:22 "when you want to vibe but the lyrics" 🤣🤣🤣 well, that's the secret recipe of their discography omg, you're so observant, you can react to their B.U at this point since you already recognize them, it's their storyline that is connected through some of their music videos...
If you think this is artistic you’ll love Black Swan, Blood Sweat and Tears, Save Me, ON (both original and kinetic manifesto film) ... and of course all the solo work it’s always🔥 most of BTS’s work has depth and centres around complicated concepts, that’s why some long time ARMYs aren’t attracted to the English pop songs as much. They’re cute and fun but they keep people from delving deeper into the history. I’m glad you’re taking the plunge, keep going, there’s only more awesome to see lol💜
Great reaction. Fake Love is an interpretive masterpiece and one of my favorites. I think you got the 3 main lyrical interpretations. First, losing yourself on a romantic relationship. It’s not real because they had to change to the point of being someone they didn’t know or understand. Second, self actualization, changing themself to satisfy others to the point of not loving themselves and their own flaws and identity. Third, the love the receive from their fans and their desire to represent the idolization of the perfect role models or musical superstars. It’s a beautiful song and sad but with hope at the end of recognizing they’re tired of the Fake Love and they have to be themselves, flaws, fragility, and all. RM is usually credited with the flower/dream line and he wrote a lot of this. JHope was the one dancing you were referencing. Good luck in exploring their more introspective and interpretive work. Black Swan Blood, sweat and tears Forever Young Some good others.
This is definitely what their fans are more used to though 🤔, in terms of meaningful lyrics and aestetics. Dynamite and Butter are nice feel-good pop songs made to cheer up the fans during the pandemic but they definitely don't represent their discography. I recommend Black swan, Spring day, Blood sweat and tears, Magic shop, Singularity, Epiphany, Serendipity, Shadow, Tear, etc. I also recommend this introduction video to the group as a whole and their journey, it explains really well how they became so big: ruclips.net/video/3cESARetI9U/видео.html
You’re right about the dancing. Their choreographer Mr. Son incorporated movements that mimicked the “speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil” saying. Like you said it’s meant to illustrate that sometimes the price of staying in a relationship (staying in fake love) is to pretend you can’t see the signs that this love is fake and will instead change yourself to keep the relationship going. Love is blind but instead you are making yourself blind so that this fake love can continue.
Also wanna add that the album this song is on goes on to tell us that the only reason someone would go through all of this is bc they don’t actually love themselves. They are using their partner/the relationship to give themselves meaning and value.
Bts has a story line BU( Bangtan Universe) which runs through most of BTS songs. The snickers are an important part of BTS storyline. React to BTS Fake Love Explanation. Note: all effects are real not CGI. BTS likes to keep everything Real.
Save me is the reference to their song, I am still baby army, but it can be part of BU universe. And if you turn Save me upside down, you can see “I’m fine” - another BTS somg name (surprisingly….). I love your reaction. It reminds me my feelings when I watched this MV for the first time.
If you like how artistic this was, you should definitely watch the MV for Blood Sweat and Tears and also Black Swan. Oh, you'd probably love V's solo Singularity too.
I really liked your reaction , you took the time to analize everything and it was great how honestly surprised you were by our boys. But like many other Armies are telling you, this is BTS's standard, they really are incredible and their music always have a deeper meaning, so you are in for more surprises, amazing music and videos.
This is the core of BTS, their lyrics and the stories they tell throughout their albums. This one is one of the specials ones, it's kind of considered as part of the BU (BTS Universe) but it can very well stand on its own. What tugged at my heart on my first watch was how Jungkook is constantly trying to reach everyone but they shut him out while they dwell in their own suffering (the rooms/problems they are stuck in) and then at the end a door opens, a place finally invites him in and in there it's maybe his own time to face himself.
You analyzed this song and MV wonderfully. The parts of the MV that you couldn’t understand was understandable bc most of the aspects of this MV is in relation to the BTS storyline that runs throughout their MVs, so it makes sense some of it made no sense to you.
love your reactions, found you today and binged watched everything! Love how you're analysing everything. I think as other Army have said there is a lot to delve into if you want to understand. To do so you'd have to go to the beginning of their career. Whatever you do I'm subbing to follow your journey. Looking forward to more.

I just found your channel and I love your reactions already !! I love how honest you are ! So, I just want to say something about the music video. BTS have this thing called "BTS UNIVERS" or BU. It's a pretty complex storyline that runs through some of their songs and MVs essentially but it also contains other content like books, other videos (non-MVs), a webtoon and a video game. This storyline starts from the song "I Need U". And Fake Love is an important part of that storyline, that's why there are so many details that you'll have to connect to BU content in order to understand them. In general BTS use a lot of references and symbolisms from different works of literature, philosophy & psychology (not only for the BU content, but for the other songs too) 😊 All that said ! If you want to dive into it, dissect the songs and try to figure it out, I suggest that you wait a little bit, and learn about the boys a bit more otherwise you'll be completely lost 😂 Anyways, I can't wait for the next reaction, and have a happy holiday 💜
BTS stands for 방 탄 소 년 단 *B* ang *T* an *S* onyeondan which means *Bulletproof Boyscouts* in *Korean* This name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets" If you explored BTS' discography further, you'll notice that BTS make songs with strong social messages that touch on subjects such as mental health, social injustices, prejudice, self reflection, development and self love. Throughout their career, they *consistently* made the subjects mentioned relevant and amplified through *their own music.* They make music for healing their listeners who were struggling mentally. For example, *"Paradise"* , *"Never Mind"* , *"Sea"* and many other BTS songs comforted and saved me and people who thought they wouldn't wanna live anymore. Also, no one can beat BTS' work ethic. BTS train like athletes. They practice their choreographies 12-16 hrs *daily* (they have lots of intense choreographies to remember) and singing on treadmills. Afterwards, they move on to produce music until dawn despite their hectic schedule. *"Instead of worrying about loosing their fame, fans and money like other celebrities, BTS were worrying about loosing their passion and love for music"* - _reference from their song, Black Swan_ This is why their performances are unparalleled and they're so well known all over the globe.

This video is the first time to me seeing you reacting to BTS. I really enjoyed it.Your reactions are very unique and sincere.I've laughed so much as well.Thanks for appreciate all their hard work.
I love your reaction and interpretation. You keep deep digging the meaning if the lyrics, video and their expression. I really wanna see another BTS's song reaction from you. And i think you could go down to the rabbit hole, when you continue digging their old songs 😉😊
I loved the edited translations to what you were going through on the first listen 😆that was precious. I'm glad you enjoyed the song and really understood the meaning of it!
some references can't be understood without knowing Bangtan Universe which is a fictional storyline with the characters who have same names as BTS for example, you notice Jungkooj looking or creeping on other boys: from above he's watching jimin, he's in the key hole of jhope's door, behind the worn out wall of yoongi's room, on the next floor to tae, in the mirror of namjoon, in the window of jin. this connects to the relationship his character has with other 6 boys, the longing and loneliness he feels when they are busy with their own life and struggles and their friend group start to fall apart(notice that every one of them is trapped in a separate room with a distinct symbols like water, fire, reflection, childhood, smartphone). it affects jungkook a lot and he tried to reach out to them, but failed. that was his way of learning how to not rely your own happiness on other people in a way
07:31 “save me" and if you turn it upside-down, it says “I’m fine”. Both the songs are connected in some way. SAVE ME: I cant live without you. I'M FINE: I can live without you. Note: BTS have song with title SAVE ME and I'M FINE
BTS is unstoppable when it comes to creating absolute bops - that's just science. Proof of this is BTS's song "fake love" a single from their third album, Love yourself: tear, which fans have kept on repeat since it was first released. At the heart of "Fake Love" are some pretty emotional lyrics, and luckily BTS is here to explain the actual meaning behind the song. During an interview with Beats 1, RM opened up about the true meaning of "Fake Love" and how it actually fits into a bigger story that the group is trying to tell through their music. "Basically, our albums are like a four-part series; [the series] is about love. So [Love Yourself: Tear] is part three and it's like a turning point. We're saying that if you're not true to yourself, your love won't last forever. The love could be person to person, it could be between me and myself," he explained. He then joked, "It's kinda deep." And like, it kind of is though. In addition to examining "Fake Love," the Bangtan Boys also shared some personal trivia. Creds to the owner
Perhaps you have not understood many things but although fake love may seem like a heartbreak song to you, the reality is that it is a song that reflects how false love towards ourselves can be, How we can blind ourselves to the point of only believing that self-love is only loving the good parts of ourselves, which does not allow us not to love ourselves completely, which makes us empty Since to love ourselves completely we must love even the dark parts to accept ourselves
You are a wonderful and awesome reactor. I watch all of the BTS reactions and you are extremely insightful. I have lived in Odessa, Texas in America all my life, but I completely agree with what you said in another reaction about how stupid is it for people to only like songs that are in English. I love everything that BTS does and every song, no matter what language. It's all beautiful!!! Music transcends language and connects us all. Please keep doing what you do. Take care and be safe, Tammi.
to understand more of the last jk scene you need to watch Fake Love teaser. it is based on a concept of Masic Shop - a psychological technique of exchanging bad memories, traumas on a positive experience jk gains a key there in the extended version mv he uses this key to unlock the appeared door when he enters there he sees a coat and a mask - it's what you cover yourself with to hide the true you this behavior of hiding or molding yourself into something you are not has to be destroyed to move to something better, so it is destroyed in the extended mv
I love your reaction so muchhhhhh💜💜 Hope you can listen to their Black swan next time Keep listening BTS 🤍you will find a new word 🤍🤍💜🤍🤍 -Taiwan army 💜🖤💜
You're so pretty. I'm reminded of Sandra Bullock. I love this reaction! See, i don't buy that you aren't good at anything 'cause this reaction was great. You're picking up on a LOT of things already. The poetic lyrics, how the music was produced, the meaning of the video itself, the choreography, even their fashion?!
Well,this is what BTS is usually like. The English tracks are the “different” ones.lol . If you’re surprised with Fake love,you’ll be really surprised by BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS.
Just found your channel and this reaction to Fake Love and your understanding of the song is the absolute best I have seen of all the reactions I’ve seen…and I’ve seen a lot. So impressed with the care you took in understanding their lyrics. 💜💜 Clicking the sub button purely for the respect you earned from this reaction. I hope all your other reactions to BTS are just as respectful and sincere! Thank you!
BTS is modern Shakespeare. The Bangtan Universe is a storyline that connects many of their songs and videos and starts with their Most Beautiful Moment in Life album and takes you on a journey of humanity. If you like the artistic value of this, you have to do the storyline videos. The Wings album and short films especially will blow your mind. Fake Love is a continuation of this storyline. BTS body of work is actually very deep and beautiful. You should watch BTS Crash Course 2020 by Suga and Spice. It will give you a glimpse into the true depth of their work and why they are so loved.
Ah I just love it when people see all the happier, pop styled songs first and then the moment they get to the more vulnerable and emotional side of BTS, they go into shock. I loved this reaction! Just wait till you get to the Wings Album 😏
you mentioned some point words like Love Myself and Persona once again, you are right! bts releases three Love Yourself albums, where the first of them was about the blind love, the second one about the pain behind it, the third one about the answer: you should love yourself first before loving anyone else. but it's easy to say, right? we need to learn how to love ourselves, for that we need to know who we are. so they took us on a journey of self discover with the next album series Map Of The Soul (Jungian psychology themed) to acknowledge our good and bad sides abs accept them all in order to love ourselves. Black Swan and ON are from MOTS era, I'm sure you can see how it it connects
This is the first ever song that I listened of them. I remember having it on repeat for days and then decided to finally look up the group and "know their names" lol
you are right. the song was written when their popularity went global and western media started to recognize them, BUT the attention they relieved was barely respectful. it was really hard for them mentally. the album Love Yourself Tear, where Fake Loce is a tittle song, has a song Outro Tear, which was written about their possible disbanding. they were considering it for real, because everything was so overwhelming for them
RM And suga and j-hope have credits as writers, producers, composers in over 120+ songs . The vocalists aren't that much incorporated in this thing but some of them like jk and V have produced and wrote many songs and they're gonna be the next two members to release their mixtapes also this two members are the best at filming and directing MVs and visuals it's insane that they're the youngest members!
Their English songs are not 'usual' BTS songs. First they were not entirely written by them and second, they are in English and cater to the US market. Their Korean songs but also their Japanese songs are completely different. Deep, meaningful, harsh and conscious. This particular video also is part of the BU the Bangtan Universe, where all 7 members live in an alternative universe and have different backstories and timelines. But that is a completely different rabbit hole.
You are the first Reactor that I have come across personally that I was able to get such an amazing reaction from WITHOUT hearing you say anything 😊 I could literally see the gears moving in your head on your first listen and could actually hear what you might say in my head lol 😂 Wonderful reaction! Thank you 🙏
To me, this is a song about toxic relationships, about having to pretend to be what you're not to make someone else happy and losing yourself in the process.
I really like how you react and i just saw myself in you when i first reacted to bts and i like the way how you think deep to understand the lyrics.....💜.
I always saw the floor giving out just as JK gets ahead was symbolic of him not being able to go back. He’s changed himself now, even if he wants to be that person he was originally he just can’t. He has to go forward or crumble.
The songs on this album had somewhat of a beauty and a beast story to it. With the rose in a glass. Songs like truth untold which is based on an Italian story of a tragic, unconfessed love between a hideous man who lives alone in a castle and a women who stumbles in his garden. BTS - Blood, Sweat and Tears is also a good one.
I think its actually about the bts world story where Jin is trying to save everyone and the flower represent all the 6 members cause that flower is shown in the I need u video too...as u can also see in the video fire is involved with suga, water is involved with jimin, being stuck is as in depression and trying to get out of it is involved with hobi, v in a box/room kind of place represents him going to jail, rm is also messed up (that's how they all end in the bts world story)and in the bts world story jk comes to know about how Jin is trying to save everyone so he tries to help him too and that's why he was running around and looking at jimin from afar. And Jin is stuck in his room waiting for the tragedy day to come again so that he can again go back to past and save others.
Please react to BTS Blood Sweat and Tears. Note: BST song will contain the word “ manhi” which means “more” in Korean, which may be confused to “Money”.
Bts have a lot beautifull lyrics that u can just quote in real life and boom ppl think ur a poet😂i've done that so many times, ppl be thinking i've read a lot of philosophy books or something when in reality i just grew up listening to bts throught highschool and love reading about their lyrics explaination and not to forget listening to the members explaination when they talk abt writing process in their livestream especially from rm.
This was my very first kpop song. It's also the first BTS song I've listened to. It's my favourite. I can't overcome it. It is so important for me. It introduced me to kpop, that started to become my endless happiness. Hope it does the same to all of you
This mv maybe its confused for you, because this album has a concept, so every song on it, tell you a continuos story. So the mv (images, everything)the the song and the choreography is telling you something of the concept. They are so artistic, They made you think all the time when they release a conceptual album.
Great reaction! I hadn't see a video from here in a while. I watched your Boy with Luv reaction so I really hope you have more time for BTS reactions, such as BTS (방탄소년단) 'Black Swan' Official MV ON (BTS (방탄소년단) 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film : Come Prima) Baepsae/Crow-tits (Live) with ENG subs / the dance practice / the explained vid by a Korean (fyi, a Crow-tit or Baepsae = a tiny bird) [MV] BTS(방탄소년단) _ War of Hormone(호르몬 전쟁) Dimple + Pied Piper+ Ddaeng (Eng Sub|BTS 5th Muster (Dimple+Pied Piper+Ddaeng) LIVE) Go Go ([BTS - Go Go] Comeback Stage | M COUNTDOWN 170928 EP.543)
This is the usual bts song tho i love them cause of their artistic and poetic their english songs are good but not to my taste i prefer their korean songs cause its easier for them to be poetic and go deep with their lyrics and meaning
The water and fire is connected to their storyline, I recommend you to react to the explanations of their storyline. Since you seemed to like artistic side of them, I recommend spring Day, stay gold, ON music video not kanetic manifesto, blood sweat and tears, save me, butterfly prolog, run, I need you. Gosh there's a lot 😭 I'm hoping to see you as a great army in the future :)
Hey! You know that “Save Me” on the wall in this MV? Take a screenshot of it and turn it upside down. THERES A MESSAGE IN EVERYTHING 😂💜 You probably won’t see this but if you do, let me know if you figure it out
you should watch the BTS fake love explanation and what do the items and rooms meaning .. all the BTS song have meaning u should watch the BTS BU .. or BTS storyline summary. thanks💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Fake love is related to the BTS STORYLINE AND ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY LINE 🥲 in simple words there’s a lot going on in this mv even the snickers are related to the storyline and fake love is not about breakup 💜
Their English songs dont justify their actual potential..you see that only after seeing the korean ones .. they are sooo artistic and have soo many deep meanings …i mean imagine having a whole storyline connecting all music videos to make one big story and fans trying to decipher it?? Only bts
The Snickers reference is J-hope's real life childhood trauma. I'll quote this, "Hoseok was visiting an amusement park with his mother at eight years old. They stopped in front of a carousel, and his mother handed him a chocolate bar. “Close your eyes,” she instructed, “and count to ten.” While his eyes were closed and he was counting, his mother walked away. When he opened his eyes, his mother was gone. He’d been abandoned." Maybe Hoseok (Jhope) saw what he thought was unconditional love from his mom all his life came to the final horrible realization at that moment her love wasn't really genuine or real. It has a double meaning for me because the way the betrayal was enacted is so much more devastating. The mom could have just told him to stay there and say she'd be back. But no! The chocolate is sweet and usually a sign of love when given as a gift but in reality, JHope's mom used the gift to leave him. I could imagine him eating the sweet chocolate but crying out with his soul. So saddening!
OMG, this girl is a genius! This is the very first time I see someone talking about the persona without even knowing yet anything about Map of the Soul! Amazing, really!, so spot on!
agreed.
I agree
She is very insightfull and smart.
i love how gobsmacked she was.

5:22 "when you want to vibe but the lyrics" 🤣🤣🤣
well, that's the secret recipe of their discography
omg, you're so observant, you can react to their B.U at this point since you already recognize them, it's their storyline that is connected through some of their music videos...
If you think this is artistic you’ll love Black Swan, Blood Sweat and Tears, Save Me, ON (both original and kinetic manifesto film)

They’re cute and fun but they keep people from delving deeper into the history. I’m glad you’re taking the plunge, keep going, there’s only more awesome to see lol💜
Great reaction. Fake Love is an interpretive masterpiece and one of my favorites. I think you got the 3 main lyrical interpretations. First, losing yourself on a romantic relationship. It’s not real because they had to change to the point of being someone they didn’t know or understand. Second, self actualization, changing themself to satisfy others to the point of not loving themselves and their own flaws and identity.

It’s a beautiful song and sad but with hope at the end of recognizing they’re tired of the Fake Love and they have to be themselves, flaws, fragility, and all.
RM is usually credited with the flower/dream line and he wrote a lot of this.
JHope was the one dancing you were referencing.
Good luck in exploring their more introspective and interpretive work.
Black Swan
Blood, sweat and tears
Forever Young
Some good others.
This is definitely what their fans are more used to though 🤔, in terms of meaningful lyrics and aestetics.
Dynamite and Butter are nice feel-good pop songs made to cheer up the fans during the pandemic but they definitely don't represent their discography.
I recommend Black swan, Spring day, Blood sweat and tears, Magic shop, Singularity, Epiphany, Serendipity, Shadow, Tear, etc.
I also recommend this introduction video to the group as a whole and their journey, it explains really well how they became so big: ruclips.net/video/3cESARetI9U/видео.html
You’re right about the dancing. Their choreographer Mr. Son incorporated movements that mimicked the “speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil” saying.

As you've only watched one Intro I'll add some links to others so you can get the full picture of these wonderful young men and what they've been through. All updated versions:
Please do watch them all as they will give you a different perspective of BTS and their history, one isn't enough to get the full picture.

I just found your channel and I love your reactions already !! I love how honest you are !
So, I just want to say something about the music video. BTS have this thing called "BTS UNIVERS" or BU. It's a pretty complex storyline that runs through some of their songs and MVs essentially but it also contains other content like books, other videos (non-MVs), a webtoon and a video game. This storyline starts from the song "I Need U". And Fake Love is an important part of that storyline, that's why there are so many details that you'll have to connect to BU content in order to understand them. In general BTS use a lot of references and symbolisms from different works of literature, philosophy & psychology (not only for the BU content, but for the other songs too) 😊
All that said ! If you want to dive into it, dissect the songs and try to figure it out, I suggest that you wait a little bit, and learn about the boys a bit more otherwise you'll be completely lost 😂
Anyways, I can't wait for the next reaction, and have a happy holiday 💜
BTS stands for
방 탄 소 년 단
*B* ang *T* an *S* onyeondan which means *Bulletproof Boyscouts* in *Korean*
This name signifies the group's desire "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets"
If you explored BTS' discography further, you'll notice that BTS make songs with strong social messages that touch on subjects such as mental health, social injustices, prejudice, self reflection, development and self love.
Throughout their career, they *consistently* made the subjects mentioned relevant and amplified through *their own music.*
They make music for healing their listeners who were struggling mentally. For example, *"Paradise"* , *"Never Mind"* , *"Sea"* and many other BTS songs comforted and saved me and people who thought they wouldn't wanna live anymore.
Also, no one can beat BTS' work ethic. BTS train like athletes. They practice their choreographies 12-16 hrs *daily* (they have lots of intense choreographies to remember) and singing on treadmills. Afterwards, they move on to produce music until dawn despite their hectic schedule.
*"Instead of worrying about loosing their fame, fans and money like other celebrities, BTS were worrying about loosing their passion and love for music"* - _reference from their song, Black Swan_
This is why their performances are unparalleled and they're so well known all over the globe.

This video is the first time to me seeing you reacting to BTS. I really enjoyed it.Your reactions are very unique and sincere.I've laughed so much as well.Thanks for appreciate all their hard work.
you look amazing! and I enjoyed your reaction a lot! happy holidays!
I love your reaction and interpretation. You keep deep digging the meaning if the lyrics, video and their expression. I really wanna see another BTS's song reaction from you. And i think you could go down to the rabbit hole, when you continue digging their old songs 😉😊
I loved the edited translations to what you were going through on the first listen 😆that was precious. I'm glad you enjoyed the song and really understood the meaning of it!
You did very well. I like your reaction so much. hugs from spain
some references can't be understood without knowing Bangtan Universe which is a fictional storyline with the characters who have same names as BTS
for example, you notice Jungkooj looking or creeping on other boys: from above he's watching jimin, he's in the key hole of jhope's door, behind the worn out wall of yoongi's room, on the next floor to tae, in the mirror of namjoon, in the window of jin. this connects to the relationship his character has with other 6 boys, the longing and loneliness he feels when they are busy with their own life and struggles and their friend group start to fall apart(notice that every one of them is trapped in a separate room with a distinct symbols like water, fire, reflection, childhood, smartphone). it affects jungkook a lot and he tried to reach out to them, but failed. that was his way of learning how to not rely your own happiness on other people in a way
07:31 “save me" and if you turn it upside-down, it says “I’m fine”. Both the songs are connected in some way.
SAVE ME: I cant live without you.
I'M FINE: I can live without you.
Note: BTS have song with title SAVE ME and I'M FINE
BTS is unstoppable when it comes to creating absolute bops - that's just science. Proof of this is BTS's song "fake love" a single from their third album, Love yourself: tear, which fans have kept on repeat since it was first released. At the heart of "Fake Love" are some pretty emotional lyrics, and luckily BTS is here to explain the actual meaning behind the song.
During an interview with Beats 1, RM opened up about the true meaning of "Fake Love" and how it actually fits into a bigger story that the group is trying to tell through their music. "Basically, our albums are like a four-part series; [the series] is about love. So [Love Yourself: Tear] is part three and it's like a turning point. We're saying that if you're not true to yourself, your love won't last forever. The love could be person to person, it could be between me and myself," he explained. He then joked, "It's kinda deep." And like, it kind of is though.
In addition to examining "Fake Love," the Bangtan Boys also shared some personal trivia.
Creds to the owner
Perhaps you have not understood many things but although fake love may seem like a heartbreak song to you, the reality is that it is a song that reflects how false love towards ourselves can be, How we can blind ourselves to the point of only believing that self-love is only loving the good parts of ourselves, which does not allow us not to love ourselves completely, which makes us empty Since to love ourselves completely we must love even the dark parts to accept ourselves
Teehee, that's the appeal of bts, they are so versatile and all their takes on different genres are top quality 😌
You are a wonderful and awesome reactor. I watch all of the BTS reactions and you are extremely insightful. I have lived in Odessa, Texas in America all my life, but I completely agree with what you said in another reaction about how stupid is it for people to only like songs that are in English. I love everything that BTS does and every song, no matter what language. It's all beautiful!!! Music transcends language and connects us all. Please keep doing what you do. Take care and be safe, Tammi.
to understand more of the last jk scene you need to watch Fake Love teaser. it is based on a concept of Masic Shop - a psychological technique of exchanging bad memories, traumas on a positive experience
jk gains a key there
in the extended version mv he uses this key to unlock the appeared door
when he enters there he sees a coat and a mask - it's what you cover yourself with to hide the true you
this behavior of hiding or molding yourself into something you are not has to be destroyed to move to something better, so it is destroyed in the extended mv
I love your reaction so muchhhhhh💜💜
Hope you can listen to their Black swan next time
Keep listening BTS 🤍you will find a new word 🤍🤍💜🤍🤍
-Taiwan army 💜🖤💜
You're so pretty. I'm reminded of Sandra Bullock. I love this reaction!
See, i don't buy that you aren't good at anything 'cause this reaction was great. You're picking up on a LOT of things already. The poetic lyrics, how the music was produced, the meaning of the video itself, the choreography, even their fashion?!
Yu made such a good job with this video and meaning! I like your videos and your way to appreciate music and art
Well,this is what BTS is usually like. The English tracks are the “different” ones.lol . If you’re surprised with Fake love,you’ll be really surprised by BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS.
Just found your channel and this reaction to Fake Love and your understanding of the song is the absolute best I have seen of all the reactions I’ve seen…and I’ve seen a lot. So impressed with the care you took in understanding their lyrics. 💜💜 Clicking the sub button purely for the respect you earned from this reaction. I hope all your other reactions to BTS are just as respectful and sincere! Thank you!
BTS is modern Shakespeare. The Bangtan Universe is a storyline that connects many of their songs and videos and starts with their Most Beautiful Moment in Life album and takes you on a journey of humanity. If you like the artistic value of this, you have to do the storyline videos. The Wings album and short films especially will blow your mind. Fake Love is a continuation of this storyline. BTS body of work is actually very deep and beautiful. You should watch BTS Crash Course 2020 by Suga and Spice. It will give you a glimpse into the true depth of their work and why they are so loved.
Ah I just love it when people see all the happier, pop styled songs first and then the moment they get to the more vulnerable and emotional side of BTS, they go into shock. I loved this reaction!
Just wait till you get to the Wings Album 😏
you mentioned some point words like Love Myself and Persona
once again, you are right!
bts releases three Love Yourself albums, where the first of them was about the blind love, the second one about the pain behind it, the third one about the answer: you should love yourself first before loving anyone else.
but it's easy to say, right? we need to learn how to love ourselves, for that we need to know who we are. so they took us on a journey of self discover with the next album series Map Of The Soul (Jungian psychology themed) to acknowledge our good and bad sides abs accept them all in order to love ourselves. Black Swan and ON are from MOTS era, I'm sure you can see how it it connects
This is the first ever song that I listened of them. I remember having it on repeat for days and then decided to finally look up the group and "know their names" lol
you are right. the song was written when their popularity went global and western media started to recognize them, BUT the attention they relieved was barely respectful. it was really hard for them mentally. the album Love Yourself Tear, where Fake Loce is a tittle song, has a song Outro Tear, which was written about their possible disbanding. they were considering it for real, because everything was so overwhelming for them
RM And suga and j-hope have credits as writers, producers, composers in over 120+ songs . The vocalists aren't that much incorporated in this thing but some of them like jk and V have produced and wrote many songs and they're gonna be the next two members to release their mixtapes also this two members are the best at filming and directing MVs and visuals it's insane that they're the youngest members!
Their English songs are not 'usual' BTS songs. First they were not entirely written by them and second, they are in English and cater to the US market. Their Korean songs but also their Japanese songs are completely different. Deep, meaningful, harsh and conscious.
This particular video also is part of the BU the Bangtan Universe, where all 7 members live in an alternative universe and have different backstories and timelines. But that is a completely different rabbit hole.
You are the first Reactor that I have come across personally that I was able to get such an amazing reaction from WITHOUT hearing you say anything 😊
I could literally see the gears moving in your head on your first listen and could actually hear what you might say in my head lol 😂
Wonderful reaction! Thank you 🙏
You are spot on
You are very clever. They wrote the lyrics...not sure but maybe RM
Its like loving someone and u put them as ur first and u forget who u are
I really enjoy watching your reaction on BTS.
You look so stunning and you do look way better with your hair up.
10 times better... lol
I love your reaction ❤❤👍👍✨✨
if u wanna see them live u can search fake love MAMA 2018 live thx
To me, this is a song about toxic relationships, about having to pretend to be what you're not to make someone else happy and losing yourself in the process.
To understand the Bangtan Universe you have to see "BTS para intelectuales" with subtitles on... It's the most important... 💜
I really like how you react and i just saw myself in you when i first reacted to bts and i like the way how you think deep to understand the lyrics.....💜.
You are very insightfull. I love your reactions. And you are Adorable and smart. 💜💜💜
All of these in this video is real not CGI...I was so shocked for first time lol.....I love it
I always saw the floor giving out just as JK gets ahead was symbolic of him not being able to go back. He’s changed himself now, even if he wants to be that person he was originally he just can’t. He has to go forward or crumble.
i'm very enjoy watching your reaction, and you're so pretty and smart, thankyou for genuine reaction, purple you💜
❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank u for your emotions!!!
The songs on this album had somewhat of a beauty and a beast story to it. With the rose in a glass. Songs like truth untold which is based on an Italian story of a tragic, unconfessed love between a hideous man who lives alone in a castle and a women who stumbles in his garden. BTS - Blood, Sweat and Tears is also a good one.
I think its actually about the bts world story where Jin is trying to save everyone and the flower represent all the 6 members cause that flower is shown in the I need u video too...as u can also see in the video fire is involved with suga, water is involved with jimin, being stuck is as in depression and trying to get out of it is involved with hobi, v in a box/room kind of place represents him going to jail, rm is also messed up (that's how they all end in the bts world story)and in the bts world story jk comes to know about how Jin is trying to save everyone so he tries to help him too and that's why he was running around and looking at jimin from afar. And Jin is stuck in his room waiting for the tragedy day to come again so that he can again go back to past and save others.
Haha, the lyrics cut deep but the music is a bop... thats just a BTS specialty 😆
I would love to hear your interpretation of Blood Sweat & Tears, seeing how you dissect almost every scene in this MV.
Please react to BTS Blood Sweat and Tears. Note: BST song will contain the word “ manhi” which means “more” in Korean, which may be confused to “Money”.
im sad n crying for this song... but i love it♥️💜♥️
Kindly react to black swan by BTS... if you think fake love is different.. black swan is another kind of different..
Bts have a lot beautifull lyrics that u can just quote in real life and boom ppl think ur a poet😂i've done that so many times, ppl be thinking i've read a lot of philosophy books or something when in reality i just grew up listening to bts throught highschool and love reading about their lyrics explaination and not to forget listening to the members explaination when they talk abt writing process in their livestream especially from rm.
If u listen to the love yourself series in orders it give so much more impact actually.
Amazing reaction!! 💜💜
Rm wrote the song & rapline did their own verses.
Thank you for your reaction to our boys :)
I purple you..
This was my very first kpop song. It's also the first BTS song I've listened to. It's my favourite. I can't overcome it. It is so important for me. It introduced me to kpop, that started to become my endless happiness. Hope it does the same to all of you
Your reactions are great 🫀💜
This mv maybe its confused for you, because this album has a concept, so every song on it, tell you a continuos story. So the mv (images, everything)the the song and the choreography is telling you something of the concept. They are so artistic, They made you think all the time when they release a conceptual album.
You’re gonna love Blood, Sweat, & Tears!
Great reaction! I hadn't see a video from here in a while. I watched your Boy with Luv reaction so I really hope you have more time for BTS reactions, such as
BTS (방탄소년단) 'Black Swan' Official MV
ON (BTS (방탄소년단) 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film : Come Prima)
Baepsae/Crow-tits (Live) with ENG subs / the dance practice / the explained vid by a Korean (fyi, a Crow-tit or Baepsae = a tiny bird)

You did so well explaining the meanings.
This is the usual bts song tho i love them cause of their artistic and poetic their english songs are good but not to my taste i prefer their korean songs cause its easier for them to be poetic and go deep with their lyrics and meaning
The water and fire is connected to their storyline, I recommend you to react to the explanations of their storyline.
Since you seemed to like artistic side of them, I recommend spring Day, stay gold, ON music video not kanetic manifesto, blood sweat and tears, save me, butterfly prolog, run, I need you. Gosh there's a lot 😭 I'm hoping to see you as a great army in the future :)
Ooohhh you should watch black swan,blood sweat and tears,on
And maybe add “Film Out”, “Magic Shop” (live) and while you’re at it 😉 2019 MMA live show. You’ve only just begun! There’s more….much, much more!
Hey! You know that “Save Me” on the wall in this MV? Take a screenshot of it and turn it upside down. THERES A MESSAGE IN EVERYTHING 😂💜
You probably won’t see this but if you do, let me know if you figure it out
Wow she said PERSONA
You reacted to Black Swan first, which was somewhat similar to this in artistic value.
Watch bbma 2018 fake love live performance .

Fake love is related to the BTS STORYLINE AND ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY LINE 🥲 in simple words there’s a lot going on in this mv even the snickers are related to the storyline and fake love is not about breakup 💜
Listening to BTS songs be like:
The Vibe: 🤸♀💃🔥🥳🤩*twerking ayyyy*
But when you know the meaning of every song: 😥😭😓😩💔
Great reaction. Have you seen the mv for V's Singularity? If not, make it a must see. Stay well
Btw the fire water and the blocks falling down ..every single thing was real .. no cgi at all
The "Nazaré's Meme"... 😂😂😂😂🇧🇷😁💜
Their English songs dont justify their actual potential..you see that only after seeing the korean ones .. they are sooo artistic and have soo many deep meanings …i mean imagine having a whole storyline connecting all music videos to make one big story and fans trying to decipher it?? Only bts
So Jungkook is everyone’s shadow, u can find that when everyone does a move, he does it with dark vibe.
You should check: ON Kinetic Manifesto and Black Swan, you won't regret it :)
The Snickers reference is J-hope's real life childhood trauma. I'll quote this, "Hoseok was visiting an amusement park with his mother at eight years old. They stopped in front of a carousel, and his mother handed him a chocolate bar. “Close your eyes,” she instructed, “and count to ten.” While his eyes were closed and he was counting, his mother walked away. When he opened his eyes, his mother was gone. He’d been abandoned." Maybe Hoseok (Jhope) saw what he thought was unconditional love from his mom all his life came to the final horrible realization at that moment her love wasn't really genuine or real. It has a double meaning for me because the way the betrayal was enacted is so much more devastating. The mom could have just told him to stay there and say she'd be back. But no! The chocolate is sweet and usually a sign of love when given as a gift but in reality, JHope's mom used the gift to leave him. I could imagine him eating the sweet chocolate but crying out with his soul. So saddening!
Watch and react also the change of rm and walle.
Idol!!
Jimin ❤
BTS "IDOL" PLEASE!!!!
BTS never sound like BTS lolz,they just keep evolving..
