Jimin is actually using the rapping autotuned element to represent the darker side of his mind in this song which is having a conversation with his "normal" voice. It's a super genius artistic choice imo. The effects on his voice give this interesting variety of textures that aid his story telling
only in certain parts ... 2nd part of video ... to emphasize his feelings of anger at those who judge plus even his inner insecurity. He wants all done with. If you don't recognize Jimin's rap vocals then you were not a part of the fandom in the beginning of group. I have been with them since before debut. As I followed RM from underground rap scene. Back in that day you had to bootleg/hack into the scene. Not legally available to US back then. I was into rap & street crew dance offs. RM was hot .. rad as a young rapper that could out do most back then . Glad I followed him. In beginnings they were a hip-hop group & all of them rapped. Jimin sounded just like that but he has added or honed his unique quality to his vocals. His rapping back then was deeper rasp with a growl. He was known for that growl. Plus he got angry back then about judgement but learned to quiet it down. We just got to experience young self mixed with mature self. No bars held back. Bless Jimin as so great to see.
@@donnal.padilla4336 yes exactly. I am a new army but i heard a lot of the songs during their hip hop days. Jimin still sounds like himself just more polished. I mean they all got trained in rap. They all worked hard. They very talented group.
This song is basically Jimin stating that he’s tired of everyone's bs and when he says “Fuck all your opps” I seen it as opinions basically saying that no matter what people say about him he will not let it get to him like in the past Jimin is not a normally aggressive person which is more of the reason why this song proves he doesn't give a shit anymore
Well if he’s going into this next project with a “fuck it” attitude then I definitely need to give it a listen 🍿👀 everyone loves a good boy gone bad haha
@@TeddyGreyOS Well BTS has kind of always had that attitude since so many people look down on them e.g. all the Korean underground rappers they used to ride with, most of the English-speaking world, etc. A couple tracks immediately come to mind e.g. their Cyphers ruclips.net/video/FT930XF1vzA/видео.html or MicDrop ruclips.net/video/kTlv5_Bs8aw/видео.html or more recently "On" ruclips.net/video/FT930XF1vzA/видео.html. I love Suga's line "Whatever you say. Whatever they say. I don't give an uhh!" Almost all the people that look down on them don't know them at all...just have perceptions of them because they're a "boy band" or from Korea or hear one song and don't like it or whatever. Most people that spend some time exploring them eventually figure out the many reasons why they were able to go from literally handing out flyers on the streets of LA almost begging people to come see their free concert 9 years ago to having one of the largest, most loyal & diverse (across race, gender, nationality & age) fanbases likely ever seen in music history.
@@TeddyGreyOS Gotta give the whole album FACE a listen then, set me free is the outro of a very sad but relatable tale of Jimins thoughts through the pandemic, it’s 4 songs and will take 20 mins to listen
Was genuinely impressed by this solo, Jimin sounds nothing like his usual self but in the best way possible. Ahhh and the instrumentals were fireeee 🔥It should be a law to have a symphonic orchestra in the background for all tracks 😤
@@TeddyGreyOS you should listen to On or Black Swan. There is two versions of On and two versions of Black Swan. You might enjoy if you haven’t seen them yet. !!
BTS is THE GENRE: NOT kpop! Their rap, jazz, Latin, country, pop, rock, and a few, very few kpoppish songs! BTS is THE # 1 BAND in THE WORLD due several factors, with this being one. Their first 10 years AS THE GROUP was tame as far as language but the IMPACT on mental & physical health was SUPERB! Don’t need all that crap language. However, their individual songs are definitely different and talk about all sorts of adult subjects. ARMY is comprised of fans from children to teens to 20-30 to 50’s up to 100! SILVER ARMY is over 60, (don’t quote me on that). I am SILVER ARMY at 64!
🤯🤯 I could tell he wasn’t a rapper but it wasn’t obvious enough to tell me this is only his second time doing it?! He must have picked up a lot from the rappers in the group! Definitely a multi-talented artist and if he’s got any other tracks like this then please recommend!
I was thinking same - how could you not be influenced by you brothers who you’ve lived with for 10 years. He so admired rm suga and jhope as rappers and producers, so I can imagine it’s rubbed off some :)
He’s shocked everyone (in the best possible way) with this track & MV. The artistry here, I think, is magnificent. Something I did notice about Jimin in regards to rapping, is that when he rapped the beginning section of AgustD’s (SUGA’s) Daechwita in a live performance, he made this guttural sound at the end that fascinated me. So while I am blown away by this track, I’m not really surprised at his huge & impressive variety in vocal styles here. I actually disliked the way they performed Daechwita overall, but I thought Jimin’s part was intriguing, & JHope’s part was absolutely killer. I thought JHope’s set at Lollapalooza was phenomenal as well.
That fact alone has already forced me to subscribe to HYBE and wait for the project to come out 😭🫠😂 Artists with creative control are my favourite kind, always 🤝🫶
@@TeddyGreyOS Hybe are pretty good about giving their artists creative freedom. Seventeen is another example, member Woozi has been their main producer from the beginning. And Yunjin of Le Sserafim has been releasing a couple of fully self-produced solo songs.
This is definitely Jimin breaking free. Typically he is utilized in BTS’s song for the high notes. His voice is very powerful, high but can also be very airy. We all know he can sing lower but in group songs that wasn’t his purpose. So now with his solo stuff, he can sing however he wants. He’s also been known in the past to be very very hard on himself and be a perfectionist. Over the years We have watched him slowly shed this persona he started out with and learn to be comfortable with who he is. This side of Jimin makes me so proud. Thanks for continuing to give BTS a chance!
I’m gonna have to watch some hardcore fans react to it and see how people reacted to him swearing and being this new bad boy haha. It’s strange because this is my introduction to him so I’ve only ever known him as a little bad boy 😂
Jimin is simply a genius. When he says "I won't stop even if they mock me", you can see the dancers pointing at him, judging him, referring to how people perceive him and the narratives they constantly impose or project on him and him basically saying no matter what you say, I'll keep shining. "Fly away, butterfly Finally free" He is ready to fly. The butterfly lyric mirrored in this effortlessly smooth and sexy move and the fact that he is flanked by two female dancers here just accentuates his appeal. He is lifted up by the throng and here people have noted the parallels to Lie and it is calming to think that Set Me Free Pt 2 resolves and brings closure to the emotions that inspired that song. In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white." Jimin is a true artist in every sense of the word. The birth of the King!
Very well said! Nail completely hit on the head! 👏👏👏 I've been Jimin biased since debut and over the years I've heard him sing in every octave, but sadly he wasn't allowed to explore these vocals freely and was basically a caged BTS vocalist. Thank you for your true words!
Jimin CAN rap. But his airy, higher vocals as well as his contemporary dance background is what he's usually seen for! This song is just a blizzard of beautiful vocal and visual textures. FACE is coming on the 24th!
You’re correct Jimin is NOT a rapper by trade, he actually was one of the lead singers so this is different. He’s super talented as they all are but I think the break they are taking is bringing out all this hidden talent! Great song I think it’s going to go far as he is!
Jimin the legendary dance King with the honey like vocals! He's the lead vocalist of BTS, main dancer, singer-songwriter and a dance prodigy making him the most versatile dancer. So many people know him even without knowing what kpop is. He has a blackbelt in Taekwondo, 8 years of kemdo, he can do popping, hip hop, he's a master at tumbling, he can do the splits (yes, i know, that's crazy), he has contemporary dancing background, and is known for his amazingly kind personality. Please react to Jimin - Serendipity MV and Live performance! Thank you for your positive reaction to our Jimin. I love your reaction! Btw, have you pre-ordered Jimin's solo album "FACE" yet? It drops on March 24 and It's available for purchase and SET ME FREE is on the album!
I like to think Jimin is definitely doing this for himself, and not for anyone else, let alone another culture. BTS didn't start out big or come from a big record label. They were actually nearly bankrupt when BTS was formed back in 2013 and even then, they nearly disbanded a few years later because they weren't seeing a lot of success. It was a hard road for them to get to where they are today and Jimin had a bigger struggle than most. He received a lot of hate and threats against his life , and there's a lot of suspicions about mental health struggles too. I haven't dug a lot into it but this song seems to be him setting himself free of all of that and allowing himself to be the artist, performer, and person that he wants to be, not the one eveyone else wants or expects him to be. Thanks for the reaction. I'm ARMY and a fellow STAY, and I always appreciate your honest and sometimes quite enthusiastic reactions. They help me find new appreciation for songs, even ones that I already absolutely love.
Jimin is about the last person I expected to see on your channel but I'm glad you liked the song! Here's a few things you probably wouldn't know: 1. The song is called Set Me Free pt.2 because the part one is a song by Agust D (Suga) released in 2020. Jimin himself mentioned that this song is somewhat of a sequel to Agust D's song. 2. 'Going insane to stay sane' is a line from their song ON (it has a similar vibe to this one so if you want to check all of BTS then ON Kinetic Manifesto might be good. Or maybe do Born Singer first👀) thematically could be considered a prequel to this as it talks about drowning in lies and wanting to be free from that. 4. The set can be seen as a panopticon. I would say this idea is further reinforced by the choreo where the four dancers get lifted up and point fingers at Jimin. That part kind of reminds me of the watchtower of a panopticon and the guards always looking into the prison cells. It's interesting to think how this translates to the life of a celebrity, how they don't know when they are being watched so they always have to behave as if they are watched all the time. 5. This is a bit random but the shirt of Jimin's first outfit has a cut on the side right where his Nevermind tattoo is. Nevermind is a song by Suga (there's a line in it that says 'Never mind, it won't be easy but engrave it on your chest' which Jimin obviously took literally, haha). Maybe another subtle reference, who knows. 6. The text on Jimin's torso is a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke: I live my life in widening circles that stretch outwards across the world. I may never reach the final one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, that primordial tower. I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song. Side note, I'm pretty sure Jimin cusses a lot as he often slips up during lives and such, but he has never cussed in a song so yes, we all gasped. Also I think you forgot the amount of vulgarity and swearing in Joke and Daechwita. RM and Suga don't really hold back. Baepsae is a good song to crush your image of BTS being boring polished idols. They basically criticize Korean social class and economic divide and subtly call boomers mfkers, yep. I think you're struggling to get into BTS because you lack context. Their songs are like puzzle pieces. If you only have a couple pieces you might not be too impressed but the whole picture might just be the most magnificent thing you've ever seen. This song alone relates to three other songs. A lot of their music is like that. And keep in mind that BTS came from nothing. We're talking peeling wallpapers in their dorm and mold growing on the practice room mirrors. The first album was recorded in a garage... They became as popular as they are because they deserved it so I hope you keep digging.
@@tatfitmomb4461 Those who deserve to be seen will be seen. BTS doesn't not take away the spotlight from anyone just by existing. Recognition is earned, it's not a charity.
when people talk bout toxic fandoms I ignore them now and just remember people like you.. Staytiny but still giving love to every artist you feel deserves it 🤝🫶
@@TeddyGreyOS that's why being the multifandom stan is so good! i would never degrade other groups' or artists' music bc of the fans, bc they do such a great job with it... the worst thing to me is seeing how atiny and stays use to hate each other's ult group instead of just being a fan of them! both are really talented, period! hope that every group stan (it doesn't refer only to armys) will understand it someday
Jimin is a lyrical tenor, he is one of the vocalists of BTS. He also possesses one of the most distinctive voices in the industry. This song is really good, why is it totally out of his zone of comfort. If it were up to me I would ask you to analyze Lie his production is very epic.
Jimin has one of the most unique tones in the music industry, he sings like an angel. Ths is different sound from him but his creative use of distortion is smart and the whole MV is telling a story of his progression to accept himself. He pushes hmself and his art and I applaud his courage for doing something not expected for a solo debut. Its a shame you dont give the group work a try, they really have a diverse discography. This notion that if its popular its must be mainstream bubble gum shit is prejudicing you from some really great music. The accusations always thrown at them that theyre catering to a western sound is ridiculous because KPOP is founded on western music. The difference with BTS is that they actually have respect for their hiphop roots and their craft. They are popular and successful for a reason.
You neglected to mention his very valid point tho: if something's insanely popular then he's right that he's highly likely to be criticised and labeled as a hater if he doesn't end up liking it. Y'all armys should know damn well that many people in the fandom are shit at taking opinions that disagree with theirs, and will cope by sending death threats or passive aggressive comments. So he's not wrong for wanting to stay away from popular things that people get too intense over. He'll still find plenty of great music 🤷♀
@goldenfred5815 this isnt a problem with just ARMY. This is an accusation thats always thrown at ARMY yet never at other fans who also have toxic people who engage in the same behaviour - every artist has fans that do this. ARMY is a HUGE fanbase, of course there are going to be assholes, but stop with this generalisation and repeated lie that ARMY are always aggressive and bullying. This is not true. Also this isnt the reason he avoided BTS music - his assumption was it was mainstream industry manifacture - which is pretty much what most of kpop and western pop is?
@@annaarwen4345 I hope you realise that you yourself are generalising: " _...always_ thrown at ARMY yet _never_ at other fans...." is a generalisation and victim-minded statement, because there are plenty of people who criticise other fandoms, yet because of whatever reason, you haven't taken it in or just haven't ventured out enough to encounter it. I myself wasn't generalising army, you made that assumption yourself. I literally used the term "many," because it's true. Even if it's only a tiny portion who are toxic, considering the size of the fandom, that portion still makes up thousands and thousands. And of course if you're the biggest fandom, it only makes sense that it's called out on its bullshit the most. That doesn't mean others aren't either.
It is not just a song about Jimins life, it is a hymn to the Light to set all of us free from darkness. That is why he has put a poem by German poet Rainer Maria Rilke on his body. Jimin is art by himself.
Jimin is Vocal/Dance line. Set Me Free Pt. 2 as a nod/follow up to Suga’s Interlude: Set Me Free 👏🏼 some of the lyrics and choreo also a nod to some of their older songs like ON. As big as BTS got now they’re finally letting all their sass fly! I love it!
They swear when they need to, lol. Jimin has been through a lot as an artist and a human, this is him kinda breaking free from everyone's expectations and doing his own thing. This is VERY different from what we usually hear from him. He's a lead vocal and usually ballads are more his wheelhouse. ARMY is loosing our collective minds because this is Jimin in a whole new light. I'm SUPER curious about the rest of his album, there's gonna be one more MV for the song Like Crazy and now I REALLY don't know what to expect, lol!
JIMIN is known for his romantic angelic side or very sensual sexy side, so seeing him like this made me shocked and this is not even a title track for the album, it’s single pre release, so I am very interested in what’s gonna happen next. I am not an army, but I love a lot of bts work and respect them as they started from nothing and made their way themselves. But sir Jimin was not on my radar and after this I was speechless and he became my fav solo from them 😂 look forward to more.
we as fans of BTS are so used to Jimin being a very soft and caring guy, this song showed us a new side that we have never seen before. WE are equally surprised! And it's amazing!💜
Not coming for you but as a true BTS fan (or Jimin Stan) you would know every side of Jimin including the darker side which he has shown quite a few times. :) through music (lie), his messages and the times he talked about his past.
@@RomanAppleJaxs It does not matter if you knew about this side or not,in my opinion, or if you are a ”true fan” or not. You can never really fully know someome, even if you have known them for years😅 I guess what I want to say is, good for you and I respect that but the majority of us were suprised🥹
King of Kpop is multi-talented he is the lead vocalist and the main dancer of the group!! He composed, produced, wrote the songs in his new album face + he learned various dance types and learned various of martial arts! ❤❤❤❤
❣Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self! In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
He's doing it for him. He has always been held back from doing his thing, he said this in an interview and now he's embarking on his solo era so this is all for him. His message is clear, he also has a lot of antis due to his vocals which in the past in BTS have been quite restrictive, so this is him now becoming free. Also the pics in the back look like j-hope and BTS lol.
Enjoyed your reaction! I get being wary of the popularity, but it’s their specific journey as a band, the unique way they built their fanbase, how they broke all the Kpop rules in their content, the depth of lyrics and visuals (the Rilke poem on Jimin’s chest being in conversation with the lyrical content and symbolism in the choreography as an example) and how much the industry and public actively tried to suppress them that has made them what they are today. The fans are extremely protective and enthusiastic as a result. Other groups have adopted their practices and many are allowed to be much more a part of their own creative processes as a result. BTS didn’t invent all of it, but they were the ones that defined it and paved the way for other groups to follow. There are really good guides, introductions, and video essays on RUclips that break it all down. Of course ARMY wants to watch you react to these, but even if you do it on your own time as research, you’ll learn a lot and it’s unexpectedly fun and entertaining (a lot of people go in skeptical and are surprised by how much they enjoy it). Holler if you want recommendations. No pressure to post reactions to them.
The writing on Jimin's chest is from a German poem written over 100 years ago called “I live my life in widening circles” by Rainer Maria Rilke "I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?" Most of BTS' music has a deep message and much of it is drawn from literature, philosophy, natural science, etc. & is often drawn from their life experiences, sociological observations, etc. so this is on point for this moment in Jimin's life & the group's history.
You are beginning with a good foot with one of the most unique voices in bts and I would say in the world. I would say this shook us all because we used to hear him sing more in soft sounds. And the falsetto and head voice i have to say are his big abilities of his voice. Hear more of jimin and bts you would be not disappointed
Bruh im Army.. and i love your channel! I love the honest reactions. I give it time especially for people who are new to BTS.. slowly they will grow on you!
I refused to give up on the Army that decided to subscribe to my channel and luckily I didn’t because this one slaps! I wish I’d known he had creative control over this piece before I reacted to it because I would’ve given him a lot more credit, it’s been stuck in my head all day! Set me free-ee-ee!
@@TeddyGreyOS jimin is a trained contemporary dancer and wanted to tell a story with his body as well as singing. i love how every members solo tracks are so different and unique just like BTS them self. you never know what you are going to get
@@TeddyGreyOS For future reference, BTS writes and produces all of their music (except a couple of their fully english tracks) so even when it comes to solo works it's safe to assume that they had at least some input.
Pdogg has been with BTS for many years. He is one of the producers of the whole album that it is going to be relased soon. Supreme Boi and Ghstloop are also producers of the song. He has an incredible sweet and powerful falsetto voice. Here he is trying new things but he has one of the best voices in pop.
I had the same reaction with his tone initially! I’ve only scratched the surface of BTS. Def need a deeper dive but my initial reaction to this was just question marks floating over my head. So much happening I didn’t know how to process it. The initial “set me free” was REPETITIVE AF! But you’re right I didn’t mind it at all! Upon a second watch I’m just blown away! I’ve heard Jimin is super creative so I’m excited to see more from him 🔥 Ps. PAAAALEASE CHECK OUT B.I.🙏🏼🔥
The best reactions are always the most objective and unbiased one. Since it comes from a point of just pure respect for one's work. Thank you for your reaction it was refreshing, honest and even if leaning towards my bias JM downright objective. I am of an opinion that Jimin's Set me free is a real artwork as a whole both for the eyes and the ears. He made me like robotic autotune for the first time because it was well done and well placed and just because I know his real voice it did not take anything away from his vocals.
You said you don't know the history of BTS or Jimin. Jimin is the member who receives the most hate inside and outside the BTS fandom. He is offended daily and has even received death threats. This song is his answer to the haters/antis/opps: "I never stop, FO all your opps" "I won't stop even if you mock me."
thank you for this reaction!! 💞 and yeah actually jimin is one of the main vocalist and main dancers in bts! this is like the 2nd time we heard him rap (the first one is a collab with suga! called "tony montana") and this is a new style coming from him in all these years. this song is basically him declaring his freedom after being boxed and a target to all hatred toward the group after so long :) p.s. you're right, idols dont swear but bts do quite usually specially in their solo works
Jimin is a vocalist and dancer mainly. His voice is distinctive and more on the nasal side. His falsettos are really pretty. His dancing abilities are really quite outstanding, too.
Nice reaction. This is so hiliarouis because I never thought I would hear the words Jimin and Agressive in the same sentence xD The guy is the nicest and most polite ever. He usually doesn't swear so we were all suprised by the lyrics ^^
This is totally Jimin. This was an outlet for the builup of hurt, hate, abuse, death threats and negativity he quietly endured as an artist. He is fighting back now
I've been going through all SMFpt 2 reaction videos since the FACE anniversary is coming up, I am still left crying. So beautiful! Jimin set the bar for the solo era so high!!
I'm super glad you don't cater to things just because they're insanely popular and how you remain honest in your opinions whilst acknowledging something when it impresses you. By watching you, so far I can tell that if you like something and want to go further into it, it will be from your own will and not because of the pressure or intensity from some overzealous fans. Good on ya mate, and good on ya for being open to trying things you might not be used to.
Literally this! From the beginning! Makes me very happy to know that even just one person sees that! I was so opposed to K-pop’s influence because I thought it was just feminising boys. But within the lyricism it’s applied to anybody that wishes to better themselves, for the most part. This song for example I know all the words to and every time I sing along it makes me feel powerful! I will leave for you a link to my first BTS reaction. It’s only available on Patreon, as are my other BTS reactions, but you should be able to view it with this link. You’ve understood the premise of my entire channel just by paying attention so, you deserve it… ruclips.net/video/vpRxT07sExE/видео.html Please let me know when you have received this message so I can delete the link from the comment. Otherwise everybody will try to use it 😂
@@TeddyGreyOS Hey Ted, thanks for the response! I do get where you're coming from and am glad you're now able to find value in something you initially felt judgement towards, so kudos. I haven't reacted to the video yet but received the link! Appreciate it a lot and will definitely check it out, am currently going through your bts playlist so prob after viewing those vids ✌
Set Me Free Pt. 2” is the first of six songs Jimin will release on Face, which includes collaborative credits from producers Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, EVAN, and groupmate RM
Teddy thanks for giving this a listen. Jimin is so talented and really puts his heart into everything he does. The thing that's both so impressive but also tricky about BTS, is that they have so much creativity and are so willing to try new things. All the music they put out is quality work. But it's across so many genres and ranges of feeling, you might not be into one song at all, but then be completely in love with the next. RM's work is definitely like that, even his rap songs. If you haven't already, I'd definitely try Joke, which he wrote in response to people assuming he couldn't do hard hitting rap, because his songs are often so lyrical. It's really a master class on word play (mixing multiple languages no less), flow switches etc.
I'm the same way about if things are hyped to much I don't want any part of it. And you're not wrong about how some Army will react if you don't like their songs. I will say I don't like every song that I've heard from them, however you are missing out on some great music by not listening to them. Not only do they rap and sing, they write, compose, and produce most of their music themselves. How they started and how they got where they are now is an inspiring story. Their love for each other, their fans and their music shines through everything they do. I think that is why they are worth the effort to get to know them and their music, even if its on your own.
Thank you for your reaction on Jimin’s Set Me Free Pt.2. Makin’ me proud more of Jimin listening tht u might consider to input this to ur playlist ❤️🔥 Stay blessed 💜
jimin está empezando su etapa de solista, su album sale el 24 de marzo y "like crazy" es la canción principal. sus solos bajo el nombre de bts son diferentes a esta nueva etapa como solista pero "lie" suena como esta canción, tal vez filter también te guste
Спасибо за реакцию. Если вы плохо знакомы с БТС, то все отсылки этого сингла вам, скорее всего, ничего не дадут, но на всякий случай оставлю здесь часть из них, потому что каждая песня и клип этих ребят имеет очень глубокий смысл и всязана между собой. Перевод слов на теле Чимина "Set me free pt.2": Это слова из немецкого стиха "Живу своей жизнью", написанного Райнером Марией Рильке в конце 1800-х годов. "Я живу в витках растянутой спирали, Витой, на событиях времен. Может быть последний мой виток из стали, Мною по годам не закален. Богом он кружит меня над древней башней, Круг тысячелетием обвив. То ли буря, то ли сокол я бесстрашный, То ли Лиры утренний мотив." Слова и смысл этого стиха заложен как в этом клипе, так и в альбоме, в целом. Чимин и его танцоры создают фигуру, которая может показаться узором золотого сечения или последовательностью Фибоначчи - в форме СПИРАЛИ, символизирующую ДНК (один из их главных синглов) Так же на фотографии альбома нарисованы КРУГИ, обозначающие расширяющиеся круги, охватывающие весь мир. Строка «Going insane to stay sane» почти идентична тексту песни «ON» Чимин теряет одежду и аксессуары в клипе, символизируя свой путь к свободе. Хореография взмаха руками символизирует взмах крыльев бабочки, как перерождение. Окружающие его танцоры, которые возвышаются над ним, толкают и показывают пальцами олицетворяют его страхи и переживания, некая борьба с тьмой, которой бросает вызов и в итоге он сам подчиняет себе движения танцоров а не наоборот и они поднимают его вверх и он возвышается над ними. Он уже контролирует Тень. В конце он в белом, показывая, что преодолел эту Тень и снова стал самим собой. Вырез на кофте, показывающий татуировку "Nevermind", которая означает трек Юнги Nevermind - интро к HYYH Pt.2, который был проанонсирован подсказкой в виде этого тату на Чимине на МАМА2014. Такая же надпись была на Юнги во время видео на ММА 2017 [Wormhole], в которой было много подсказок к будущим эрам.Текст из песни: "NEVER MIND ["не бери в голову"], "Это нелегко, но выгравируй это у себя на груди". Тату, как мы знаем и видим, у Чимина на груди/ребрах. И, по какой-то причине он выделяет ее. Может разгадка будет крыться в этом альбоме, посмотрим... Про название песни: Чимин подтвердил, что обозначение сингла "Pt.2' означает отсылку ко второму микстейпу (Мин Юнги) Agust D "D-2". Его цитата: "Между этими песнями связи нет, и мы не пытались разделить первую и вторую часть. Но так как оказалось, что моя песня говорит о свободе и движении вперед, а песня Шуги рассказывает о некоторых историях, которые были раньше, я подумал, что было бы хорошо, если мою песню будут слушать после [песни Шуги]».
I’m an army and I love your honest opinions. It’s alright to not enjoy some of their songs because even I have songs that aren’t my type of music. I hope u give them a chance. Most army’s are nice and welcoming sadly u witnessed the bad ones. I would love if u react to the backstory but no pressure.❤️
Jimin es increíble. Esta presentación es espectacular. Todavía estoy con la boca abierta. La coreografía, la ambientación, la letra, los coros, la música, y por supuesto el genio Park Jimin. Su voz única, su elegancia. Ha creado una obra de arte.
words tattooed on Jimin's torso are actually a German poem by Rainer Maria Rilke. The poem goes: I live my life in ever widening circles, each superseding all the previous ones. Perhaps I never shall succeed in reaching the final circle, but attempt I will. I circle around God, the ancient tower, and have been circling for a thousand years, and still I do not know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a continuing great song?
Today was just for me reaction for that MV day.. yours was amazing.. love non fans that know the business being able to love them.. loved it!! And yes there’s a lot of meaning behind it all, Jimin is brains, even doe he doesn’t show it often.. 😎
I must say many people internationally prefer rap , but, Jimin attracted me with his unique voice , intellectual thoughts , visuals and personality being top tier . I'm so happy that many are now looking at The Park Jimin . i saw many learning about him cos the song was trending #1 on YT . He had to go solo for this and tell his story . He did tell us a little in lie and promise but didn't really let us enter in his life and now with his story telling album , i can relate more to him . He was involved in basically every little detailing and wrote all his experiences and made a song out of it.... A genius is all I can say .
Suga and Jimin do Tony Montana together, Suga has said he wants to get Jimin to rap on some other songs too. Jimin nearly didnt make it into bts but Suga really believed in him and loved his voice/tone.And a couple staff members had his back. You've listened the wrong way around in my opinion, cause when you hear them as a group and THEN their solo stuff it just hits different!
OK, now, Jimin has been my BTS bias since ever I heard them (him) for the first time in Boy With Love, he practically made me stan BTS in 2019. He was my ult until Hyujin came (now I have two)😅 So it's kinda crazy/special to me that you have introduction to him through his solo work! I was shocked when I first heard him in BWL at that time + his looks!! He was and still is so mesmerizing! I could honestly write about him a whole essay... He's absolutely amazing dancer with a lot of experience (I surely have smthg for the dancers in kpop...) and his personality is on another level too, I'm telling you, he's literal sweetheart! Really, who can not like this guy?! 😭 Next Friday his first solo album FACE comes out! Please check it out! 🙏😭
Jimin has a German poem called "Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen” by Rainer Maria Rilke written all over his body. Amazing meaning. And it is pronounced Jim - in like the start of Jimmy like you said first. He usually is more angelic, I am digging his dark turn. Can't have light without the dark. 😘💜🫰🏻
Oh! Army here... Please, don't think that not liking some songs is taking like "hate"... nobody must be obliged to like everything of OUR favorite group, no. If you give good arguments, like "it's not my cup a tea", etc, it's ok. Haters are those who not even listen to the songs and criticize them, with no base of arguments but spreading hate. All the times I watched your reactions to BTS I see you trying to analize the song, the whole production, with respect. And respect and honesty are the only things we ask for the reactors, ok? Thanks for your reaction!
@@Nicole-wb1gq mmmm maybe he doesn't like Army, that's different. It wouldn't be the first time I see a reactor avoiding BTS in order not to receive hate from some so-called Armys that didn't understand or live BTS' message. Unfortunately, some of the fandom aren't real Armys.
Congratulations Jimin! ! 🔥🥳🎉 Record Producer Jimin he deserves all good things we love him very much Always support JIMIN & BTS #Jimin_FACE #SetMeFree_Pt2_OutNow #SetMeFree_Pt2 #JIMIN
I joined your channel after your dizzy dross reactions, but now I will become a fan of it after your honest reaction to my bias Jimin from bts. I hope you going react more for bts fabulous songs , mutch love from morocco💜🇲🇦
as a stray kids ult like you (lee know and han are my favorites but honestly everyone haha) ---i really like bts and they paved the way for Korean artists internationally, my rec is to try some of their group songs and then go into their new solo careers because they have just now began their full solo careers so they are being a lot more experimental like this video. a lot of your stray kids subscribers would also love bts reactions by the way! ----try mic drop steve aoki remix as a good introduction to them as a group, (war on hormones-no more dream-and boy in luv are their older more rap heavy songs) --diving into their solos i would give jhope arson a listen ----don't be afraid of BTS' popularity because their discography has a wide variety of genres so you may like certain songs and dislike others just try to keep an open mind --jimin is a reallllllyyy special artist, he is a dance master, vocalist master, and has a vibe that you do not see often --he is known as the one with an almost female voice but people are really drawn to him, even those who usually like rap lol --p.s. i have watched all your stray kids reactions so i would like to think i know some of your preferences haha and although bts has a very different vibe i do think you will like them
Repetitive lyrics normally come off as lazy but this is very much anthemic. I love it. The song is definitely for himself. The choreo and some of the lyrics seem to pull from older BTS songs and Jimin’s previous solos. The original Set Me Free is an interlude on Suga’s second mixtape as Agust D. They are global artists and take inspiration from everywhere so he could be pulling from both America and Britain. The words on him during the latter half are from a German poem. He is an impressive vocalist but did rap some earlier in his career. The creative use of auto tune has stirred some debate amongst fans. My personal opinion is it is ingenious. Everything about this feels like a culmination of his previous work and the beginning of something new. I cannot express how excited I am for the mini album release next week. Thanks for your reaction 💜
I think most army don't care if you like BTS or not, as long as you give them a far chance: look into who they are and come into their music without prejudice and preconceived notions of what you THINK BTS is bc of the way media portrays them.
The first two verses of Jimin’s are HIS actual voice melodically rapping; in the early days of fetus BTS, he not only sang his falsettos but also in his lower register that he rarely used in later years. The first time he uses auto tune in this song is with the phrase “I never stop…“ He is using his angry conversational voice when he uses auto tune and his own voice as the other voice in his head demanding he be set free from all of the self-doubt. He is also telling his haters (of 10 years) that he doesn’t give a $hit what they think anymore…he’s going to be ‘himself’ - he won’t be put in a stereotypical box anymore. All of this were the struggles and feelings he was wrestling with in his mind when they were in quarantine., when he could no longer ignore it. The repetitiveness you were talking about was necessary to show the desperation he was feeling for release during the pandemic. That’s likely why it didn’t bother you - because it was authentic.
Sooo… Which Jimin track is next? 🍿👀
Lie
i love 'lie' for its lyrics and modulations from minor to majeur... my fav song from him. and tony montana with agust d.
Tony Montana by Suga and Jimin
Lie, first just the song with the lyrics then the performance
Maybe the track called Vibe, he feat. there with Taeyang - his idol. :)
Jimin is actually using the rapping autotuned element to represent the darker side of his mind in this song which is having a conversation with his "normal" voice. It's a super genius artistic choice imo. The effects on his voice give this interesting variety of textures that aid his story telling
only in certain parts ... 2nd part of video ... to emphasize his feelings of anger at those who judge plus even his inner insecurity. He wants all done with.
If you don't recognize Jimin's rap vocals then you were not a part of the fandom in the beginning of group. I have been with them since before debut. As I followed RM from underground rap scene. Back in that day you had to bootleg/hack into the scene. Not legally available to US back then. I was into rap & street crew dance offs. RM was hot .. rad as a young rapper that could out do most back then .
Glad I followed him. In beginnings they were a hip-hop group & all of them rapped.
Jimin sounded just like that but he has added or honed his unique quality to his vocals. His rapping back then was deeper rasp with a growl. He was known for that growl.
Plus he got angry back then about judgement but learned to quiet it down. We just got to experience young self mixed with mature self. No bars held back. Bless Jimin as so great to see.
Yess exactly you couldn't told anything else 🙏
nods
@@donnal.padilla4336 yes exactly. I am a new army but i heard a lot of the songs during their hip hop days. Jimin still sounds like himself just more polished. I mean they all got trained in rap. They all worked hard. They very talented group.
This song is basically Jimin stating that he’s tired of everyone's bs and when he says “Fuck all your opps” I seen it as opinions basically saying that no matter what people say about him he will not let it get to him like in the past Jimin is not a normally aggressive person which is more of the reason why this song proves he doesn't give a shit anymore
Well if he’s going into this next project with a “fuck it” attitude then I definitely need to give it a listen 🍿👀 everyone loves a good boy gone bad haha
@@TeddyGreyOStxt reference ?! 👀
@@TeddyGreyOS j hope arson and more is different too
@@TeddyGreyOS Well BTS has kind of always had that attitude since so many people look down on them e.g. all the Korean underground rappers they used to ride with, most of the English-speaking world, etc. A couple tracks immediately come to mind e.g. their Cyphers ruclips.net/video/FT930XF1vzA/видео.html or MicDrop ruclips.net/video/kTlv5_Bs8aw/видео.html or more recently "On" ruclips.net/video/FT930XF1vzA/видео.html. I love Suga's line "Whatever you say. Whatever they say. I don't give an uhh!" Almost all the people that look down on them don't know them at all...just have perceptions of them because they're a "boy band" or from Korea or hear one song and don't like it or whatever. Most people that spend some time exploring them eventually figure out the many reasons why they were able to go from literally handing out flyers on the streets of LA almost begging people to come see their free concert 9 years ago to having one of the largest, most loyal & diverse (across race, gender, nationality & age) fanbases likely ever seen in music history.
@@TeddyGreyOS Gotta give the whole album FACE a listen then, set me free is the outro of a very sad but relatable tale of Jimins thoughts through the pandemic, it’s 4 songs and will take 20 mins to listen
Was genuinely impressed by this solo, Jimin sounds nothing like his usual self but in the best way possible. Ahhh and the instrumentals were fireeee 🔥It should be a law to have a symphonic orchestra in the background for all tracks 😤
we do love a good orchestral number 🔥🫠
@@TeddyGreyOS you should listen to On or Black Swan. There is two versions of On and two versions of Black Swan. You might enjoy if you haven’t seen them yet. !!
@@TeddyGreyOS I'm curious to see how you would feel about Lie then.
@@night_sky_hope OMG...I love 2nd gen kpop. That's where I came in. So good
BTS is THE GENRE: NOT kpop! Their rap, jazz, Latin, country, pop, rock, and a few, very few kpoppish songs! BTS is THE # 1 BAND in THE WORLD due several factors, with this being one. Their first 10 years AS THE GROUP was tame as far as language but the IMPACT on mental & physical health was SUPERB! Don’t need all that crap language. However, their individual songs are definitely different and talk about all sorts of adult subjects. ARMY is comprised of fans from children to teens to 20-30 to 50’s up to 100! SILVER ARMY is over 60, (don’t quote me on that). I am SILVER ARMY at 64!
the truth is Jimin is one of the main vocalists on BTS so this is like... his second time rapping
🤯🤯 I could tell he wasn’t a rapper but it wasn’t obvious enough to tell me this is only his second time doing it?! He must have picked up a lot from the rappers in the group! Definitely a multi-talented artist and if he’s got any other tracks like this then please recommend!
I was thinking same - how could you not be influenced by you brothers who you’ve lived with for 10 years. He so admired rm suga and jhope as rappers and producers, so I can imagine it’s rubbed off some :)
@@TeddyGreyOS He's trained in Contemporary ballet too.
He’s shocked everyone (in the best possible way) with this track & MV. The artistry here, I think, is magnificent.
Something I did notice about Jimin in regards to rapping, is that when he rapped the beginning section of AgustD’s (SUGA’s) Daechwita in a live performance, he made this guttural sound at the end that fascinated me.
So while I am blown away by this track, I’m not really surprised at his huge & impressive variety in vocal styles here.
I actually disliked the way they performed Daechwita overall, but I thought Jimin’s part was intriguing, & JHope’s part was absolutely killer.
I thought JHope’s set at Lollapalooza was phenomenal as well.
@@TeddyGreyOS Jimin featured on Suga/August D ‘Tony Montana’ song few years ago
Jimin is credited for producer in this track, not only but he work on it :)
That fact alone has already forced me to subscribe to HYBE and wait for the project to come out 😭🫠😂 Artists with creative control are my favourite kind, always 🤝🫶
@@TeddyGreyOS Hybe are pretty good about giving their artists creative freedom. Seventeen is another example, member Woozi has been their main producer from the beginning. And Yunjin of Le Sserafim has been releasing a couple of fully self-produced solo songs.
@@TeddyGreyOS All members produce, write and compose.. Amazing group
Not producer, writer and composer.
@@lightefilit My bad, thanks for the correct :)
This is definitely Jimin breaking free. Typically he is utilized in BTS’s song for the high notes. His voice is very powerful, high but can also be very airy. We all know he can sing lower but in group songs that wasn’t his purpose. So now with his solo stuff, he can sing however he wants. He’s also been known in the past to be very very hard on himself and be a perfectionist. Over the years We have watched him slowly shed this persona he started out with and learn to be comfortable with who he is. This side of Jimin makes me so proud. Thanks for continuing to give BTS a chance!
This song totally surprised the fandom but not surprised because it's Jimin. He keeps evolving and he is a true artist.
Exactly 🎉
6:44 it's our first time hearing him swear too
I’m gonna have to watch some hardcore fans react to it and see how people reacted to him swearing and being this new bad boy haha. It’s strange because this is my introduction to him so I’ve only ever known him as a little bad boy 😂
@@TeddyGreyOS when I tell you jaws were dropped 😂
Jimin is simply a genius.
When he says "I won't stop even if they mock me", you can see the dancers pointing at him, judging him, referring to how people perceive him and the narratives they constantly impose or project on him and him basically saying no matter what you say, I'll keep shining.
"Fly away, butterfly
Finally free"
He is ready to fly. The butterfly lyric mirrored in this effortlessly smooth and sexy move and the fact that he is flanked by two female dancers here just accentuates his appeal.
He is lifted up by the throng and here people have noted the parallels to Lie and it is calming to think that Set Me Free Pt 2 resolves and brings closure to the emotions that inspired that song.
In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free.
I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
Jimin is a true artist in every sense of the word. The birth of the King!
Very well said! Nail completely hit on the head! 👏👏👏
I've been Jimin biased since debut and over the years I've heard him sing in every octave, but sadly he wasn't allowed to explore these vocals freely and was basically a caged BTS vocalist.
Thank you for your true words!
...a new ERA, "Jimin's ERA" for all those who love him...majestic like always👏❤🇦🇩
Yess he is true artis now
Ótimo resumo sobre JM em Set_Me_Free
Obrigado!
Jimin CAN rap. But his airy, higher vocals as well as his contemporary dance background is what he's usually seen for! This song is just a blizzard of beautiful vocal and visual textures. FACE is coming on the 24th!
You’re correct Jimin is NOT a rapper by trade, he actually was one of the lead singers so this is different. He’s super talented as they all are but I think the break they are taking is bringing out all this hidden talent! Great song I think it’s going to go far as he is!
I can’t even tell you how stoked I was to see you react to this!!! Jimin absolutely slayed 🔥🔥
p.s. as others have stated, you have got to see this man dance 🔥
Jimin the legendary dance King with the honey like vocals! He's the lead vocalist of BTS, main dancer, singer-songwriter and a dance prodigy making him the most versatile dancer. So many people know him even without knowing what kpop is. He has a blackbelt in Taekwondo, 8 years of kemdo, he can do popping, hip hop, he's a master at tumbling, he can do the splits (yes, i know, that's crazy), he has contemporary dancing background, and is known for his amazingly kind personality. Please react to Jimin - Serendipity MV and Live performance! Thank you for your positive reaction to our Jimin.
I love your reaction! Btw, have you pre-ordered Jimin's solo album "FACE" yet? It drops on March 24 and It's available for purchase and SET ME FREE is on the album!
I like to think Jimin is definitely doing this for himself, and not for anyone else, let alone another culture.
BTS didn't start out big or come from a big record label. They were actually nearly bankrupt when BTS was formed back in 2013 and even then, they nearly disbanded a few years later because they weren't seeing a lot of success. It was a hard road for them to get to where they are today and Jimin had a bigger struggle than most. He received a lot of hate and threats against his life , and there's a lot of suspicions about mental health struggles too. I haven't dug a lot into it but this song seems to be him setting himself free of all of that and allowing himself to be the artist, performer, and person that he wants to be, not the one eveyone else wants or expects him to be.
Thanks for the reaction. I'm ARMY and a fellow STAY, and I always appreciate your honest and sometimes quite enthusiastic reactions. They help me find new appreciation for songs, even ones that I already absolutely love.
Jimin has such range and so many layers, he's really gone all out to experiment in this. I love it.
Jimin is the main vocalist and he is known for having a distinct high voice so we were surprised too at the beginning
Correction jimin is lead vocalist..jungkook is main..dont spread false information about them..trying to watch them from the beginning
Jimin is about the last person I expected to see on your channel but I'm glad you liked the song! Here's a few things you probably wouldn't know:
1. The song is called Set Me Free pt.2 because the part one is a song by Agust D (Suga) released in 2020. Jimin himself mentioned that this song is somewhat of a sequel to Agust D's song.
2. 'Going insane to stay sane' is a line from their song ON (it has a similar vibe to this one so if you want to check all of BTS then ON Kinetic Manifesto might be good. Or maybe do Born Singer first👀)
thematically could be considered a prequel to this as it talks about drowning in lies and wanting to be free from that.
4. The set can be seen as a panopticon. I would say this idea is further reinforced by the choreo where the four dancers get lifted up and point fingers at Jimin. That part kind of reminds me of the watchtower of a panopticon and the guards always looking into the prison cells. It's interesting to think how this translates to the life of a celebrity, how they don't know when they are being watched so they always have to behave as if they are watched all the time.
5. This is a bit random but the shirt of Jimin's first outfit has a cut on the side right where his Nevermind tattoo is. Nevermind is a song by Suga (there's a line in it that says 'Never mind, it won't be easy but engrave it on your chest' which Jimin obviously took literally, haha). Maybe another subtle reference, who knows.
6. The text on Jimin's torso is a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke: I live my life in widening circles that stretch outwards across the world. I may never reach the final one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, that primordial tower. I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song.
Side note, I'm pretty sure Jimin cusses a lot as he often slips up during lives and such, but he has never cussed in a song so yes, we all gasped.
Also I think you forgot the amount of vulgarity and swearing in Joke and Daechwita. RM and Suga don't really hold back. Baepsae is a good song to crush your image of BTS being boring polished idols. They basically criticize Korean social class and economic divide and subtly call boomers mfkers, yep.
I think you're struggling to get into BTS because you lack context. Their songs are like puzzle pieces. If you only have a couple pieces you might not be too impressed but the whole picture might just be the most magnificent thing you've ever seen. This song alone relates to three other songs. A lot of their music is like that.
And keep in mind that BTS came from nothing. We're talking peeling wallpapers in their dorm and mold growing on the practice room mirrors. The first album was recorded in a garage... They became as popular as they are because they deserved it so I hope you keep digging.
👌🏻👌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜💜
💜💜💜💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈
BTS is great but they aren’t the only group that deserves to be seen. They are the most famous out of them all but other groups need to shine too 💙
@@tatfitmomb4461 Those who deserve to be seen will be seen. BTS doesn't not take away the spotlight from anyone just by existing. Recognition is earned, it's not a charity.
here for one of the first comments! jimin slayed this solo debut, love from staytiny 😶🌫😶🌫
when people talk bout toxic fandoms I ignore them now and just remember people like you.. Staytiny but still giving love to every artist you feel deserves it 🤝🫶
@@TeddyGreyOS that's why being the multifandom stan is so good! i would never degrade other groups' or artists' music bc of the fans, bc they do such a great job with it... the worst thing to me is seeing how atiny and stays use to hate each other's ult group instead of just being a fan of them! both are really talented, period! hope that every group stan (it doesn't refer only to armys) will understand it someday
Jimin is a lyrical tenor, he is one of the vocalists of BTS. He also possesses one of the most distinctive voices in the industry. This song is really good, why is it totally out of his zone of comfort. If it were up to me I would ask you to analyze Lie his production is very epic.
Jimin has one of the most unique tones in the music industry, he sings like an angel. Ths is different sound from him but his creative use of distortion is smart and the whole MV is telling a story of his progression to accept himself. He pushes hmself and his art and I applaud his courage for doing something not expected for a solo debut.
Its a shame you dont give the group work a try, they really have a diverse discography. This notion that if its popular its must be mainstream bubble gum shit is prejudicing you from some really great music. The accusations always thrown at them that theyre catering to a western sound is ridiculous because KPOP is founded on western music. The difference with BTS is that they actually have respect for their hiphop roots and their craft. They are popular and successful for a reason.
Excelente comentario, Anna. Estoy de acuerdo
🫶🙌True words
You neglected to mention his very valid point tho: if something's insanely popular then he's right that he's highly likely to be criticised and labeled as a hater if he doesn't end up liking it. Y'all armys should know damn well that many people in the fandom are shit at taking opinions that disagree with theirs, and will cope by sending death threats or passive aggressive comments. So he's not wrong for wanting to stay away from popular things that people get too intense over. He'll still find plenty of great music 🤷♀
@goldenfred5815 this isnt a problem with just ARMY. This is an accusation thats always thrown at ARMY yet never at other fans who also have toxic people who engage in the same behaviour - every artist has fans that do this. ARMY is a HUGE fanbase, of course there are going to be assholes, but stop with this generalisation and repeated lie that ARMY are always aggressive and bullying. This is not true.
Also this isnt the reason he avoided BTS music - his assumption was it was mainstream industry manifacture - which is pretty much what most of kpop and western pop is?
@@annaarwen4345 I hope you realise that you yourself are generalising: " _...always_ thrown at ARMY yet _never_ at other fans...." is a generalisation and victim-minded statement, because there are plenty of people who criticise other fandoms, yet because of whatever reason, you haven't taken it in or just haven't ventured out enough to encounter it.
I myself wasn't generalising army, you made that assumption yourself. I literally used the term "many," because it's true. Even if it's only a tiny portion who are toxic, considering the size of the fandom, that portion still makes up thousands and thousands. And of course if you're the biggest fandom, it only makes sense that it's called out on its bullshit the most. That doesn't mean others aren't either.
It is not just a song about Jimins life, it is a hymn to the Light to set all of us free from darkness. That is why he has put a poem by German poet Rainer Maria Rilke on his body. Jimin is art by himself.
Jimin is Vocal/Dance line. Set Me Free Pt. 2 as a nod/follow up to Suga’s Interlude: Set Me Free 👏🏼 some of the lyrics and choreo also a nod to some of their older songs like ON. As big as BTS got now they’re finally letting all their sass fly! I love it!
One of the best Kpop songs there is! 👑
Jimin has one of the most unique voices in kpop. He just released a colab in January with another big artist. The song is VIBE
They swear when they need to, lol. Jimin has been through a lot as an artist and a human, this is him kinda breaking free from everyone's expectations and doing his own thing. This is VERY different from what we usually hear from him. He's a lead vocal and usually ballads are more his wheelhouse. ARMY is loosing our collective minds because this is Jimin in a whole new light. I'm SUPER curious about the rest of his album, there's gonna be one more MV for the song Like Crazy and now I REALLY don't know what to expect, lol!
Epic, Dark, Sensual, Bad boy, the Vocal and Choreo~ his MV is a complete work of art !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
It's Solo Era, they can be themselves ❤
He is doing his own thing and is allowed to be himself and fuck all the haters...
LIKE CRAZY X MV X Practice of the both song . His Whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑🐥💜🧿🌍👑, one of the producers X writing SIR PARK JIMIN
JIMIN is known for his romantic angelic side or very sensual sexy side, so seeing him like this made me shocked and this is not even a title track for the album, it’s single pre release, so I am very interested in what’s gonna happen next. I am not an army, but I love a lot of bts work and respect them as they started from nothing and made their way themselves. But sir Jimin was not on my radar and after this I was speechless and he became my fav solo from them 😂 look forward to more.
we as fans of BTS are so used to Jimin being a very soft and caring guy, this song showed us a new side that we have never seen before. WE are equally surprised! And it's amazing!💜
Not coming for you but as a true BTS fan (or Jimin Stan) you would know every side of Jimin including the darker side which he has shown quite a few times. :) through music (lie), his messages and the times he talked about his past.
I wasn’t surprised by this I was actually waiting for it haha
@@RomanAppleJaxs It does not matter if you knew about this side or not,in my opinion, or if you are a ”true fan” or not.
You can never really fully know someome, even if you have known them for years😅 I guess what I want to say is, good for you and I respect that but the majority of us were suprised🥹
King of Kpop is multi-talented he is the lead vocalist and the main dancer of the group!! He composed, produced, wrote the songs in his new album face + he learned various dance types and learned various of martial arts! ❤❤❤❤
❣Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self! In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
He's doing it for him.
He has always been held back from doing his thing, he said this in an interview and now he's embarking on his solo era so this is all for him. His message is clear, he also has a lot of antis due to his vocals which in the past in BTS have been quite restrictive, so this is him now becoming free.
Also the pics in the back look like j-hope and BTS lol.
Enjoyed your reaction! I get being wary of the popularity, but it’s their specific journey as a band, the unique way they built their fanbase, how they broke all the Kpop rules in their content, the depth of lyrics and visuals (the Rilke poem on Jimin’s chest being in conversation with the lyrical content and symbolism in the choreography as an example) and how much the industry and public actively tried to suppress them that has made them what they are today. The fans are extremely protective and enthusiastic as a result. Other groups have adopted their practices and many are allowed to be much more a part of their own creative processes as a result. BTS didn’t invent all of it, but they were the ones that defined it and paved the way for other groups to follow. There are really good guides, introductions, and video essays on RUclips that break it all down. Of course ARMY wants to watch you react to these, but even if you do it on your own time as research, you’ll learn a lot and it’s unexpectedly fun and entertaining (a lot of people go in skeptical and are surprised by how much they enjoy it). Holler if you want recommendations. No pressure to post reactions to them.
This is EPIC!!! JIMIN SET THE WORLD ON FIIIIRE!!!🔥🔥🔥
finally! I'm glad this man got you impressed!
I know all the words to this already 😭😂
Everyone wants a Changbin -Suga collab. If that ever happened... we all died and went to heaven.
The writing on Jimin's chest is from a German poem written over 100 years ago called “I live my life in widening circles” by Rainer Maria Rilke
"I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?"
Most of BTS' music has a deep message and much of it is drawn from literature, philosophy, natural science, etc. & is often drawn from their life experiences, sociological observations, etc. so this is on point for this moment in Jimin's life & the group's history.
You are beginning with a good foot with one of the most unique voices in bts and I would say in the world. I would say this shook us all because we used to hear him sing more in soft sounds. And the falsetto and head voice i have to say are his big abilities of his voice. Hear more of jimin and bts you would be not disappointed
Jimin has his own way to bomb the world
Bruh im Army.. and i love your channel! I love the honest reactions. I give it time especially for people who are new to BTS.. slowly they will grow on you!
I refused to give up on the Army that decided to subscribe to my channel and luckily I didn’t because this one slaps! I wish I’d known he had creative control over this piece before I reacted to it because I would’ve given him a lot more credit, it’s been stuck in my head all day! Set me free-ee-ee!
@@TeddyGreyOS jimin is a trained contemporary dancer and wanted to tell a story with his body as well as singing. i love how every members solo tracks are so different and unique just like BTS them self. you never know what you are going to get
@@TeddyGreyOS For future reference, BTS writes and produces all of their music (except a couple of their fully english tracks) so even when it comes to solo works it's safe to assume that they had at least some input.
@@TeddyGreyOS set me freeee😂❤
Time to make that BTS playlist!
His duality🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜
Vocal💯🔥
Visual🔥💯
Masterpiece
앙😅😅😅한국말로 너무 듣고싶어용
지민이 응원 감사해여^^
Pdogg has been with BTS for many years. He is one of the producers of the whole album that it is going to be relased soon. Supreme Boi and Ghstloop are also producers of the song. He has an incredible sweet and powerful falsetto voice. Here he is trying new things but he has one of the best voices in pop.
I had the same reaction with his tone initially! I’ve only scratched the surface of BTS. Def need a deeper dive but my initial reaction to this was just question marks floating over my head. So much happening I didn’t know how to process it. The initial “set me free” was REPETITIVE AF! But you’re right I didn’t mind it at all! Upon a second watch I’m just blown away! I’ve heard Jimin is super creative so I’m excited to see more from him 🔥
Ps. PAAAALEASE CHECK OUT B.I.🙏🏼🔥
The best reactions are always the most objective and unbiased one. Since it comes from a point of just pure respect for one's work. Thank you for your reaction it was refreshing, honest and even if leaning towards my bias JM downright objective. I am of an opinion that Jimin's Set me free is a real artwork as a whole both for the eyes and the ears. He made me like robotic autotune for the first time because it was well done and well placed and just because I know his real voice it did not take anything away from his vocals.
Jimin is not a rapper. He is a dancer and a sensitive soul. I love this song.
You said you don't know the history of BTS or Jimin. Jimin is the member who receives the most hate inside and outside the BTS fandom. He is offended daily and has even received death threats. This song is his answer to the haters/antis/opps:
"I never stop, FO all your opps"
"I won't stop even if you mock me."
Grata por sua reação elogiosa só garoto esforçado e gentil chamado Jimin.
Abraços do Brasil!
thank you for this reaction!! 💞 and yeah actually jimin is one of the main vocalist and main dancers in bts! this is like the 2nd time we heard him rap (the first one is a collab with suga! called "tony montana") and this is a new style coming from him in all these years. this song is basically him declaring his freedom after being boxed and a target to all hatred toward the group after so long :)
p.s. you're right, idols dont swear but bts do quite usually specially in their solo works
Thanks for your reaction and support. Jimin looks stunning in this video and the dancers are amazing to.
jiminaaaa
Trust me,, once you jim in, you can't jim out😁💜
Jimin always sing in high note in almost every of BTS "s songs 😊
It feels really anthemic ✊🏼
Jimin is a vocalist and dancer mainly. His voice is distinctive and more on the nasal side. His falsettos are really pretty. His dancing abilities are really quite outstanding, too.
jimin is the king
Nice reaction. This is so hiliarouis because I never thought I would hear the words Jimin and Agressive in the same sentence xD The guy is the nicest and most polite ever. He usually doesn't swear so we were all suprised by the lyrics ^^
Jimin 👋👋👋👋👋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
No Jimin, he's Jimine💜🤭
This is totally Jimin. This was an outlet for the builup of hurt, hate, abuse, death threats and negativity he quietly endured as an artist. He is fighting back now
Спасибо за реакцию! Это,конечно,шедевр! Волосы дыбом встают. Потрясающе!👏👏👏
There is a saying about Jimin. When you go Jim-in, you’ll never Jimin-out.
I've been going through all SMFpt 2 reaction videos since the FACE anniversary is coming up, I am still left crying. So beautiful! Jimin set the bar for the solo era so high!!
Спасибо! И пожалуйста больше доверяй своим чувствам...
I'm super glad you don't cater to things just because they're insanely popular and how you remain honest in your opinions whilst acknowledging something when it impresses you. By watching you, so far I can tell that if you like something and want to go further into it, it will be from your own will and not because of the pressure or intensity from some overzealous fans. Good on ya mate, and good on ya for being open to trying things you might not be used to.
Literally this! From the beginning! Makes me very happy to know that even just one person sees that! I was so opposed to K-pop’s influence because I thought it was just feminising boys. But within the lyricism it’s applied to anybody that wishes to better themselves, for the most part. This song for example I know all the words to and every time I sing along it makes me feel powerful!
I will leave for you a link to my first BTS reaction. It’s only available on Patreon, as are my other BTS reactions, but you should be able to view it with this link. You’ve understood the premise of my entire channel just by paying attention so, you deserve it… ruclips.net/video/vpRxT07sExE/видео.html
Please let me know when you have received this message so I can delete the link from the comment. Otherwise everybody will try to use it 😂
@@TeddyGreyOS Hey Ted, thanks for the response! I do get where you're coming from and am glad you're now able to find value in something you initially felt judgement towards, so kudos. I haven't reacted to the video yet but received the link! Appreciate it a lot and will definitely check it out, am currently going through your bts playlist so prob after viewing those vids ✌
Set Me Free Pt. 2” is the first of six songs Jimin will release on Face, which includes collaborative credits from producers Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, EVAN, and groupmate RM
Teddy thanks for giving this a listen. Jimin is so talented and really puts his heart into everything he does. The thing that's both so impressive but also tricky about BTS, is that they have so much creativity and are so willing to try new things. All the music they put out is quality work. But it's across so many genres and ranges of feeling, you might not be into one song at all, but then be completely in love with the next. RM's work is definitely like that, even his rap songs. If you haven't already, I'd definitely try Joke, which he wrote in response to people assuming he couldn't do hard hitting rap, because his songs are often so lyrical. It's really a master class on word play (mixing multiple languages no less), flow switches etc.
I'm the same way about if things are hyped to much I don't want any part of it. And you're not wrong about how some Army will react if you don't like their songs. I will say I don't like every song that I've heard from them, however you are missing out on some great music by not listening to them. Not only do they rap and sing, they write, compose, and produce most of their music themselves. How they started and how they got where they are now is an inspiring story. Their love for each other, their fans and their music shines through everything they do. I think that is why they are worth the effort to get to know them and their music, even if its on your own.
Amazing
Thank you for your reaction on Jimin’s Set Me Free Pt.2. Makin’ me proud more of Jimin listening tht u might consider to input this to ur playlist ❤️🔥 Stay blessed 💜
jimin está empezando su etapa de solista, su album sale el 24 de marzo y "like crazy" es la canción principal. sus solos bajo el nombre de bts son diferentes a esta nueva etapa como solista pero "lie" suena como esta canción, tal vez filter también te guste
Love Jimin and his voice and his dancing! 💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜
Спасибо за реакцию. Если вы плохо знакомы с БТС, то все отсылки этого сингла вам, скорее всего, ничего не дадут, но на всякий случай оставлю здесь часть из них, потому что каждая песня и клип этих ребят имеет очень глубокий смысл и всязана между собой.
Перевод слов на теле Чимина "Set me free pt.2":
Это слова из немецкого стиха "Живу своей жизнью", написанного Райнером Марией Рильке в конце 1800-х годов.
"Я живу в витках растянутой спирали,
Витой, на событиях времен.
Может быть последний мой виток из стали,
Мною по годам не закален.
Богом он кружит меня над древней башней,
Круг тысячелетием обвив.
То ли буря, то ли сокол я бесстрашный,
То ли Лиры утренний мотив."
Слова и смысл этого стиха заложен как в этом клипе, так и в альбоме, в целом.
Чимин и его танцоры создают фигуру, которая может показаться узором золотого сечения или последовательностью Фибоначчи - в форме СПИРАЛИ, символизирующую ДНК (один из их главных синглов)
Так же на фотографии альбома нарисованы КРУГИ, обозначающие расширяющиеся круги, охватывающие весь мир.
Строка «Going insane to stay sane» почти идентична тексту песни «ON»
Чимин теряет одежду и аксессуары в клипе, символизируя свой путь к свободе. Хореография взмаха руками символизирует взмах крыльев бабочки, как перерождение. Окружающие его танцоры, которые возвышаются над ним, толкают и показывают пальцами олицетворяют его страхи и переживания, некая борьба с тьмой, которой бросает вызов и в итоге он сам подчиняет себе движения танцоров а не наоборот и они поднимают его вверх и он возвышается над ними. Он уже контролирует Тень. В конце он в белом, показывая, что преодолел эту Тень и снова стал самим собой.
Вырез на кофте, показывающий татуировку "Nevermind", которая означает трек Юнги Nevermind - интро к HYYH Pt.2, который был проанонсирован подсказкой в виде этого тату на Чимине на МАМА2014. Такая же надпись была на Юнги во время видео на ММА 2017 [Wormhole], в которой было много подсказок к будущим эрам.Текст из песни: "NEVER MIND ["не бери в голову"], "Это нелегко, но выгравируй это у себя на груди". Тату, как мы знаем и видим, у Чимина на груди/ребрах. И, по какой-то причине он выделяет ее. Может разгадка будет крыться в этом альбоме, посмотрим...
Про название песни: Чимин подтвердил, что обозначение сингла "Pt.2' означает отсылку ко второму микстейпу (Мин Юнги) Agust D "D-2". Его цитата: "Между этими песнями связи нет, и мы не пытались разделить первую и вторую часть. Но так как оказалось, что моя песня говорит о свободе и движении вперед, а песня Шуги рассказывает о некоторых историях, которые были раньше, я подумал, что было бы хорошо, если мою песню будут слушать после [песни Шуги]».
Какая осведомленность. Молодец. Завидую
Вряд ли чел будет запариваться и переводить твой коммент на английский
I m still having chills every time i listen that song ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m an army and I love your honest opinions. It’s alright to not enjoy some of their songs because even I have songs that aren’t my type of music. I hope u give them a chance. Most army’s are nice and welcoming sadly u witnessed the bad ones. I would love if u react to the backstory but no pressure.❤️
Jimin NEVER calms down! Haha
Jimin es increíble. Esta presentación es espectacular. Todavía estoy con la boca abierta. La coreografía, la ambientación, la letra, los coros, la música, y por supuesto el genio Park Jimin. Su voz única, su elegancia. Ha creado una obra de arte.
He's a total performer! he's the best waaahh
words tattooed on Jimin's torso are actually a German poem by Rainer Maria Rilke. The poem goes:
I live my life in ever widening circles,
each superseding all the previous ones.
Perhaps I never shall succeed in reaching
the final circle, but attempt I will.
I circle around God, the ancient tower,
and have been circling for a thousand years,
and still I do not know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a continuing great song?
Today was just for me reaction for that MV day.. yours was amazing.. love non fans that know the business being able to love them.. loved it!! And yes there’s a lot of meaning behind it all, Jimin is brains, even doe he doesn’t show it often.. 😎
I must say many people internationally prefer rap , but, Jimin attracted me with his unique voice , intellectual thoughts , visuals and personality being top tier . I'm so happy that many are now looking at The Park Jimin . i saw many learning about him cos the song was trending #1 on YT . He had to go solo for this and tell his story . He did tell us a little in lie and promise but didn't really let us enter in his life and now with his story telling album , i can relate more to him . He was involved in basically every little detailing and wrote all his experiences and made a song out of it.... A genius is all I can say .
Suga and Jimin do Tony Montana together, Suga has said he wants to get Jimin to rap on some other songs too. Jimin nearly didnt make it into bts but Suga really believed in him and loved his voice/tone.And a couple staff members had his back.
You've listened the wrong way around in my opinion, cause when you hear them as a group and THEN their solo stuff it just hits different!
OK, now, Jimin has been my BTS bias since ever I heard them (him) for the first time in Boy With Love, he practically made me stan BTS in 2019. He was my ult until Hyujin came (now I have two)😅 So it's kinda crazy/special to me that you have introduction to him through his solo work!
I was shocked when I first heard him in BWL at that time + his looks!! He was and still is so mesmerizing! I could honestly write about him a whole essay... He's absolutely amazing dancer with a lot of experience (I surely have smthg for the dancers in kpop...) and his personality is on another level too, I'm telling you, he's literal sweetheart! Really, who can not like this guy?! 😭
Next Friday his first solo album FACE comes out! Please check it out! 🙏😭
Jimin has a German poem called "Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen” by Rainer Maria Rilke written all over his body. Amazing meaning. And it is pronounced Jim - in like the start of Jimmy like you said first. He usually is more angelic, I am digging his dark turn. Can't have light without the dark.
😘💜🫰🏻
Oh! Army here... Please, don't think that not liking some songs is taking like "hate"... nobody must be obliged to like everything of OUR favorite group, no. If you give good arguments, like "it's not my cup a tea", etc, it's ok. Haters are those who not even listen to the songs and criticize them, with no base of arguments but spreading hate. All the times I watched your reactions to BTS I see you trying to analize the song, the whole production, with respect. And respect and honesty are the only things we ask for the reactors, ok?
Thanks for your reaction!
@@Nicole-wb1gq mmmm maybe he doesn't like Army, that's different. It wouldn't be the first time I see a reactor avoiding BTS in order not to receive hate from some so-called Armys that didn't understand or live BTS' message. Unfortunately, some of the fandom aren't real Armys.
💀😭😂 omg poor nick-hole.
Congratulations Jimin! ! 🔥🥳🎉
Record Producer Jimin
he deserves all good things
we love him very much
Always support JIMIN & BTS

I joined your channel after your dizzy dross reactions, but now I will become a fan of it after your honest reaction to my bias Jimin from bts. I hope you going react more for bts fabulous songs , mutch love from morocco💜🇲🇦
as a stray kids ult like you (lee know and han are my favorites but honestly everyone haha)
---i really like bts and they paved the way for Korean artists internationally, my rec is to try some of their group songs and then go into their new solo careers because they have just now began their full solo careers so they are being a lot more experimental like this video. a lot of your stray kids subscribers would also love bts reactions by the way!
----try mic drop steve aoki remix as a good introduction to them as a group, (war on hormones-no more dream-and boy in luv are their older more rap heavy songs) --diving into their solos i would give jhope arson a listen
----don't be afraid of BTS' popularity because their discography has a wide variety of genres so you may like certain songs and dislike others just try to keep an open mind
--jimin is a reallllllyyy special artist, he is a dance master, vocalist master, and has a vibe that you do not see often --he is known as the one with an almost female voice but people are really drawn to him, even those who usually like rap lol
--p.s. i have watched all your stray kids reactions so i would like to think i know some of your preferences haha and although bts has a very different vibe i do think you will like them
Love this thoughtful comment ❤️
Tq Stay for your comment 🫶🏻 I'm an Army nd I love Hyunjin from straykids💜
congratulations on the job. and thank you for the reaction regarding Jimin's work 🇧🇷💜🥰
Jimin the best❤❤❤❤❤
Repetitive lyrics normally come off as lazy but this is very much anthemic. I love it. The song is definitely for himself. The choreo and some of the lyrics seem to pull from older BTS songs and Jimin’s previous solos. The original Set Me Free is an interlude on Suga’s second mixtape as Agust D. They are global artists and take inspiration from everywhere so he could be pulling from both America and Britain. The words on him during the latter half are from a German poem. He is an impressive vocalist but did rap some earlier in his career. The creative use of auto tune has stirred some debate amongst fans. My personal opinion is it is ingenious. Everything about this feels like a culmination of his previous work and the beginning of something new. I cannot express how excited I am for the mini album release next week. Thanks for your reaction 💜
BEAUTIFUL RELEASE 😍 🤩 👌 ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jimin❤
와우.... 지민.
I think most army don't care if you like BTS or not, as long as you give them a far chance: look into who they are and come into their music without prejudice and preconceived notions of what you THINK BTS is bc of the way media portrays them.
The first two verses of Jimin’s are HIS actual voice melodically rapping; in the early days of fetus BTS, he not only sang his falsettos but also in his lower register that he rarely used in later years. The first time he uses auto tune in this song is with the phrase “I never stop…“ He is using his angry conversational voice when he uses auto tune and his own voice as the other voice in his head demanding he be set free from all of the self-doubt. He is also telling his haters (of 10 years) that he doesn’t give a $hit what they think anymore…he’s going to be ‘himself’ - he won’t be put in a stereotypical box anymore. All of this were the struggles and feelings he was wrestling with in his mind when they were in quarantine., when he could no longer ignore it.
The repetitiveness you were talking about was necessary to show the desperation he was feeling for release during the pandemic. That’s likely why it didn’t bother you - because it was authentic.
He is not a rapper but not they are on they owe he is is finally free love it
Черно белый клип в одном помещении его хочется смотреть бесконечно браво чимин .....
