@@ThisRoscoe Don't sweat it. I'll be here on the couch with you until you have that special moment when you realize that not only do you know every member's name & face, you also can tell exactly who is singing/rapping by just their voice
I laughed so loud too. I was feeling so proud when he named the first 4. But it's understandable Roscoe, when I was trying to learn their names, it was also V, Jin & JK that took me a long time to remember.
To me the “ carried myself into this beautiful prison” means they’ve chosen this life and the limitations of celebrity. Where they are limited but it’s also a beautiful place.
This came out literally before the pandemic hit. This was their kick off to what was supposed to be their world tour and new album, but pandemic hit. They were so excited and pumped to show us what they had been planning for MONTHS. They did perform the song when they did an online concert, which we all were so grateful for, but it wasn't the same. They tried so hard to make us happy and not think about what the world is going through, and then we got the best comfort album ever, BE. They love us so much and we love them just as much. It's a beautiful thing 💜
I really enjoyed their performance of this song on Jimmy Fallon I believe. It was at grand central station… And yes their albums BE is such a beautiful and comforting. I am a Dynamite ARMY so that albums means a lot to me. Lol. Plus I LOVE are more personal the album feels. That is just me though.
They love us so much and we love them just as much..such a beautiful line..it's just incredible that i can truly, truly feel they love me back..how can this be?
Thank you! I don't like to comment, since I am not your typical demographic group for BTS, but I am enjoying your comments very much. I am watching you since your very first youtube video. So an hr is ok with me!!! I love them very much and love that someone else is discovering them too. Keep it up!!!
@@mercedesm5481 I'm starting to wonder whether there is a "typical" demographic group, though; all kinds of people seem to be sitting on the couch, lol. 😊😍
FYI: This location is called the Sepulveda Dam, located in the valley/Los Angeles. Many tv/movies have been filmed at this location. Scenes from The Fugitive, Grease, Ironman, True Lies and most recently Peacemaker, starring John Cena. During our trip to see BTS in December, we took a day trip to go to dam to take photos. There were other ARMY there with the same idea. It was so much fun.
hell yeaahh...I went there too last Dec for their PTDA concert at sofi when I took my time to go to sepulveda dam so many ARMYs there...it was so much fun...we're like a family
Both the lyrics and the MV represent the internal battle we sometimes have with our shadows. The drums announce the battle. The lyrics then say that we must face our shadows to develop and improve ourselves. That's why the lyrics say "Bring the pain, I'm a fighter"
There are 2 videos you can watch that relate to this mv. One is the making of ON mv and the other is about making the music. Both are good. There’s also a live version on a football field with an actual marching band that’s excellent.
My interpretation on this is that when things get hard, sometimes the way to survive is for you to get harder. Bring on the pain because I will feed on it and let it fuel me, to not just make it through but to excel. It’s such a great motivation anthem 💪🏻
I agree 150% with you. "What doesn't kill me, gives me strength" we say. Every single time I had to restart my life from zero (at least twice) I got up and redid it in a better way and the feeling is soooo good!
About the "this beautiful prision" line= the music industry. Even tho they have glorious moments, where they make their songs, share the messages they want to, the love from the fans and all the success, fame brings a LOT of negativity (haters, media, etc) and it's like they can't scape this because even tho they suffer sometimes the good things are worth it, that's why they keep fighting, working harder and giving their best in everything they do. This song is really special to me cause it's giving me strenght ever since it come out just a little before all this pandemic shit started.
I love that she was a BTS fan first and an American. She is so talented. Their first practice is with her and the other dancers is so good. My favorite live of this is on Jimmy Fallon at Grand Central Station. All of the live performances they have done on his show are epic. Fallon is a HUGE BTS fan.
She's actually the choreographer for the dance crew the Lab, the dancers in the video. They used the band but she's not the band leader. She's choreographing out to quite a few crews and bands now. As far as I know...but I could be wrong, she also choreographed Dionysus. Her and the Lab was used at PTD on stage in LA
"What does RM stand for, Kids?" Me: Roscoe's Maaan! I'm only half way into your reaction but maaan as always I enjoy it so much. Thanks for appreciating Hobi's part. Besides the dance break it's my favourite scene. The way he's carrying and expressing his rap through his movements is just amazing. The verse "Gotta go insane to stay sane" has become my motto recently. The last weeks have been challenging with three kids in Kindergarten and School. We are constantly juggling between work, homeschooling, quarantine (sometimes one after another) and so on. I know we're not the only ones. So my obsession with BTS is kinda insane but it really helps me to stay sane on a daily basis. LOL, Roscoe, you might already know that there's another MV for "On" that is more storytelling. If you are going to react on this I will prepare myself for a 2 hours video at least. 😂 I think I commented it under your Save Me reaction - you're not fast food, you are a three course menu. I'm loving it! 💜
When he said "Roscoe's man!" I shouted to my screen.. "Oy, Roscoe! Get in line theeeeere at the back. It's a very long line." 😂 Hobi's verse and part is always my fav here. 🥰💜
There is a "making of" video. There is also the official MV for this song and a "making of" video of it. All are worth watching even if you don't do a reaction.. Love your channel. I'm sitting next to you on the couch. I am a 70 year old fan.
So BTS albums are meticulously in order. The song playlist as well as the album sequence and music videos. So watching the music video and song out of order u may miss somethings. This song is ON goes with the anthem N.O. the theme of no offense or N.O. was the BTS saying u have to fight the system that is trying to keep u in the box. ON says I don't give a ugh. Bring ON the fight we will be ourselves person, shadow and ego. We have found who we are and we are learning to love ourselves. The Come prima is an Italian term that, in the direction in music, means repetition. It means in the same manner as the first time (As before). Put together, we have BTS' declaration of acceptance. They now are owning the fact that they are both light and shadow. If u look at the albums u can see the progression of them grow up. BTS in School learning to love, learning they must love themselves and now they have learned who they are. Now the can say I know who I am and I love myself. Ps I love the Kirk Franklin and I am a OT7. Start as a Suga and RM bias and it grew to OT7. I love who ever in on the screen at that time.
I agree about the watching in order, as well. I generally give the same advice, but Roscoe is doing this in his order and we are along for the ride. You never know, he might pick up on the older references in backwards order, he's extremely observant. OT7 as well, but I started as. Joon bias and Suga Bias wrecker which switched, then Tae wrecked me and the rest came BLASTING through! Nice to meet another straight OT7! 💜
“i love whoever is on the screen at the time” i say this too! i’m ot7 as well. i can’t imagine picking a favorite, and see no need to do so. i *may* have a fave for a particular performance, but i can’t say i gravitate towards any member more than others because they are all so special.
“Carried myself into this beautiful prison” I interpret that line on a personal level for BTS. They gave up a normal life and a lot of their youth to chase and achieve their dreams. I don’t think they would make a different decision if they had to do it again, but you have to wonder if the fame and loss of privacy and hectic schedules aren’t a “beautiful prison.” I feel like the entire song is personal for them and their hardships in the industry.
@@donitapolk9413 Just listened to that tonight. So many ‘less known’ (by non BTS fans) songs I love. Louder than bombs, Fly To My Room, Stay Gold, and so many more
i have not even finished the video and i am already spaming, sorry. 38:53 "she is killing it" this woman is Sienna Lalau, the choreographer of this performance. She is so young but already so absolutely brilliant, an amazing dancer also. This young woman also did the choreography for "dionysus", which is iconic! She is gorgeous! it makes me so happy to watch your reaction because you are noticing everything, every little detail. It is wonderful to see you falling in love with Bts, it realyly is. they are not only exceptional artists they are also hot as h... I am not disrespetful and i am not sexualizing these men, it is nothing but the truth, they are f....sexy. Because of the camera work: the crew were using drones to film some of the scenes.
@Roscoe, after almost 4 yrs since ON Kinetic Manifesto was first shown & hundreds of times I've watched it + reaction videos, IMHO yours is the best reaction - detailed point-by-point analysis, respectful critique & such oh so contagious thrilling reaction.
Aside from the message of the song, what I get from this video is that it is exactly what it says in the name. The Kinetic part is because the video is so focused on the movement. And this song is their Manifesto to the world. Telling the world to bring it on. They can face it all. But that is just my take. Also, I think the line "carried myself into this beautiful prison " has to do with the way they have to live because of their fame. It can be hard to live the way they do, but they love what they do, and they chose it.
Roscoe, the way you screamed "SUGAAAAA !" when he came on screen the way Syga screams "J HOOOOOOOOPE" when they're watching their own MVs just killed me x) Army for a year and new to the couch, I really enjoyed your reactions that I've seen so far ! It's really cool to revisit and rediscover BTS for the thousandth time with someone as involved and passionate :D
I hope you understand that I don't exaggerate when I say that I get SO EXCITED every single time I see a notification that you posted a new video. AND THIS TIME IT'S FOR "ON: KINETIC MANIFESTO COME PRIMA" MV!!! LET'S FRIGGIN' GOOOOO! *Story Time w/ Jan* : This MV dropped in the middle of the week. I distinctly remember this because the next day I had work at 8AM and so I tried to stay up for the premiere at 2AM PST but my eyes were too heavy. I fell asleep. The next thing I knew, my body shot up in bed. Wide awake at 4:30AM and slightly manic, I was heartbroken when I saw the time but that didn't quell my racing heart. My very first BTS comeback was finally here and I wasn't going to miss another second of it sleeping! With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I hastily wiped the sleep from my eyes as I unlocked my tablet and loaded "ON: Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima" MV on RUclips. Apparently, that RUclips premiere broke the record with 1.54m concurrent viewers at that time. That means that by the time I loaded the MV, it had already garnered over 4M views. I was not only impressed, I was floored by that number. 4M in just a couple of hours? How did they even? And then I actually saw the MV and my jaw was on the floor! To say that I was blown away, would have been the understatement of the decade! It was unlike anything I had ever seen before and it was how I knew I was witnessing something truly extraordinary! There was no hope of going back to sleep. I immediately jumped on Spotify and for the 75 minutes wept, cheered, smiled, and melted as I basked in the glory that was their new album, Map of the Soul: 7, that had just been released. I vowed that I would see them in concert. We won't continue with what had transpired after that bc it's just too depressing to think about but that was the story of my very first BTS comeback. Ooof... sorry about that. I just get so excited when it comes to this MV. It made quite the first impression on me so I understand your need to talk about this MV for nearly an hour!
You absolutely paint a vivid picture with your words; consider taking up a writing career if you haven't already. Loved your storytelling! 😊👍💜 BTW, On was my first comeback too, so I can totally relate to everything you wrote.
@@s.susanmarandi9080 That's so sweet of you to say. I do happen have an associates degree in English and I'm currently getting my Speech and Language Pathology degree with a minor in English Literature. Writing has been my passion for so long now and getting the opportunity to go back to school to fulfill my dream of completing my studies and helping people with speech impediments and disorders so that they can effectively speak their minds and share their thoughts with the world, would be a dream come true. And I would have BTS to thank for that. When RM had talked about being a young and successful student but not truly having a dream, that sentiment hit me like a freight train. That was the very first catalyst that stirred something inside me. And I had Namjoon to thank for that. To think that if he didn't have to ability or the platform to be able to speak his mind and what was in his heart, I would still be complacently stuck at my 9-5 office job today. I wanted chase that dream again and not settle for my current reality, just like Bangtan. I wanted everyone around me to be able to have the ability to communicate their thoughts and dreams too; to share their stories if they so choose. Because everyone deserves the right to be able to communicate... we are social creatures after all. We crave that connection with "our fellow people" and if I am able to help them be able to do that more effectively, I feel like my life will finally have meaning again.
It gives me the vibes of a older song of them .."NOT TODAY " That was the song they found me when I needed them the most being in a very dark place of depression 💔❤❤
Since I found them/found me I'm doing better..trying harder is not that easy but definitely they helped me big time..and still do.They are such an inspiration 💙 in doing better because I feel I'm not alone anymore and I have the beautiful Army to talk and support each other.Army is the most 💜 beautiful and precious Fandom because our precious 7 boys are such an inspiration to all of us 💜love you all Army ❤❤❤❤❤
I have my own personal theory about this performance. 1) "Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" means "A declaration told in movement of what came before." 2) During this particular comeback, BTS made a lot of callbacks to their earlier career. The last song on the album even begins with their debut teaser, the very first thing they ever released as a group. Each live stage during award season featured a song from their debut year as well. 3) A person familiar with the choreo of older BTS songs can spot pieces of iconic dance throughout the choreo for this song. Suga's kick from IDOL. The backup dancers in the beginning resemble the soldier/teachers from N.O with their batons. J-hope's solo reminds us of the choreo from Fire, but reversed. JK's walk is from an iconic "Airplane: Pt 2" stage. The snappy level changes from "Dope". And of course, Jimin's jacket drop from "Blood Sweat and Tears". There are more, but these are examples that are pretty easy to spot. So I think this is literally what it says, a dance highlighting and calling back to what came before. There are also a lot of new things in this video/choreo that we never got from BTS before. It's the first time they showed this much skin, for example. All around, it's just a really mind-blowing performance.
I didn’t even notice an hour had gone by. This MV was one of my first and made me ARMY. I have no problem watching it over and over with you! I laughed so loud at “Roscoe’s Man!”
Ya this was the song that was supposed to be their breakout in the American market. They literally pulled out all the stops including the marching band but alas the song peaked at #4 on the charts with zero radio play time. Yes they used drones; you can see them in the making of. As others have said, the live performance at grand central station for the jimmy fallon show is amazing. Glad you liked this one hehe 💜💜💜
BigHit fumbled with ON. They released so many versions, all released at the wrong time, the song could not chart to #1. And then it freefall out of the charts. They learnt enough from this for Dynamite, thankfully.
There were a million versions of Butter. They’re still releasing new versions. Dynamite broke through because it’s in English. Like it or not, Americans were not ready to embrace Korean language songs fully. Now we’re 3 mega hits deep in English (and Life Goes On, which did remarkably well for being foreign, especially Korean) and Americans are learning Korean. I think now would be an opportunity to drop a Korean single.
@@sariel8406 It wasn’t that BH fumbled… less than a month later the pandemic took over and killed all promo. They couldn’t do more than Fallon. Honestly, #4 was a great entry on BB.
“Wonder Woman stay wit me girl” lolololololololol. Fact: BTS does have a theme and order about their music, however the discography and videos are enjoyable standing alone as well. Baby Army never come into the fandom in order, it usually happens when they get introduced to a song or see them on a award show, TRUE Army eventually take the deep dive and go back to find the order and underlying messages in their work. and it that much better.
Wow I literally just said something like this somewhere. Maybe a comment or a message, I can’t remember. I’m having a blast with these “heavy hitters” but I’m looking forward to starting at Day One.
Roscoe - this is the title track to their Map of the Soul: 7 album. The album is a musical masterpiece and the songs, when listening to them in order, is about the members’ journey as BTS. “ON” is the climax where they accept their status as global superstars (the cage they have put themselves in) and the pleasures and pain that come with this status. RM does an album review on Vlive where he talks about the album and his thoughts when they put together this album. Its lovely to hear RM discuss it, once you listen to all the songs.
My goodness...I wanted to say THANK YOU...first time i see someone who have that same reaction on BTS like i have...i was laughing....you are amazing... they are the best one with everything..and the have the must amazing and so hard choreography i every see...they work so hard for everything they get... but your reaction it so fantastic...thank you 💜💜💜
“If depression and anxiety is going to be a part of me, just going to keep existing, then I have to embrace it and live with it”. When I heard that I almost jumped up! You got such a large part of the Map of the soul 7 album in one song! If you listened to the whole album in order you would understand more but man, you’re onto something! 😁🔥💜
@Roscoe&theBigComfyCouch My 93 y/o mom was so excited that you were reacting to this one today. This is her absolute favorite BTS MV. She (and I) are really enjoying you so VERY much. Thanks for what you do! 💜💜💜
The thing is, aside from everything else, you also have to think about the songs as a part of the album the song comes from. ON is from Map of the Soul 7, which is an album about inner battles. It talks about acknowledging and getting to know your "shadow" (the part of yourself you hide out of fear) and accept it as part of yourself in order to fully accept who you are. The shadow is also the reason for the writing on Tae's face. The Map of the Soul series is inspired by Carl Gustav Jung's Map of the Soul, which says that the human soul consists of three parts: ego, persona and shadow. The ego is your sense of self, your conscious part of who you know you are. Shadow is your hidden part - the part you hide even from yourself out of shame or fear. Persona is the part of yourself you show to the outside world.
I think your theory about the music industry is actually correct.. the original MV actually always give me these vibes.. and they throw themselves in this beautiful prison.. which is the music industry.. and RM said.. it's not that I'm unafraid.. but I fly together with the black wind.. and Suga said.. as long as my feet are not buried.. it's okay if I fall.. I'm gonna get up.. so bring the pain on.. cause we love what we do.. and we're gonna rise together with ARMY.. Also RM always talked about their second single which is N.O.. which if you flip it.. it becomes ON.. but N.O is talking about the koreon educational system.. so I can't link together.. but he always mentioned it when talking about ON.. Also notice this song is part of Map of the soul album which includes concepts from Carl Jung's map of the soul book.. I'm excited for you to watch the dance practice to this.. it's even more hype.. it gets me excited everytime I watch it.. And about the boys.. don't worry too much about the biases.. each and every one constantly wrecks us.. you named them all right.. but the two you missed were.. V and Jungkook.. V is the one with the tattoo on his face and it says.. "The shadow like me." and Jungkook is the one with the Micheal Jackson moves.. the one that sang the high note.. Thank you Mr. Roscoe for hanging out.. it was a pleasure.. happy to see you excited and happy again .. see you next time.. purple you 💜💜💜💜💜
Great point about N.O and ON. Linking them together, I feel like N.O is about rebellion and going against the system, while ON is about acceptance, embracing the pain and being triumphant while being in the system.
I gotta tell you: I´m stuck in you reactions to BTS! I´m new to them too, and I´m loving spend my freaking day watching you watching them! Tks for that!
Honey, I am so... grateful. A lot of people react to the boys just for the views. You see, ARMYs can give their love easily (myself included) if someone showing even a little bit of appreciation to our boys, and a lot of reactors try to gain from views and subs from it .... But you willing to watch them without any judgment or whatsoever with real sparkles in your eyes and well, thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.
It’s Jungkook who sings the haunting part…💜 When you ask, towards the end “is that Jimin, the one I keep saying…Michael Jackson…”, at the time I think you have stopped on Jungkook - JK has black hair here, and is wearing white vest, black jacket, black pants. Jimin, here, has the inky-blue hair and is dressed all in white, Jin is wearing denim, and Tae/V has the face ink…
Jin is not wearing denim. his jacket was originally all black. a few of the members decided to change up what they were originally wearing so they would stand out more from the extra dancers. Im not sure what they sprayed on the front of his jacket but it made it light blue/white.
@@allisonB123 all good, I wondered for the longest time too! Then somewhere I saw a video of the front of his jacket being sprayed with something to make it pop :)
at 37:07 and 08 is jin. the one that u wanted to stop looking at you was jungkook the one that had the solo part before jimin came back and taetae/v was the one in all white with black puffy hair with the words on his face that said "a shadow like me"
I’m moving forward again, know I’m way back here but I just love how excited you are to see and learn their stuff!! 😊 just so much fun to travel this road with you! Enjoying it !
The location is Sepulveda Dam in LA. The dance team is The Lab, and the choreographer, Sienna Lalau, is the girl in the front at beginning. Love your channel & reactions.💜
Sienna Lalau - Choreographer; UCLA Marching Band; and The Lab - Dancing Team. Sienna is the one you see in the front, in the beginning of the video. They also had them perform live with them on Jimmy Fallon at the NY Grand Central Station Terminal, and at the PTD On Stage Concert in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium (Nov 27,28, Dec 1,2, 2021). It was a 4 day sold out concert, and I was there on day 4. ON was the opening song on all 4 days. BTS also does not have an opening act, and the did 24 songs in 2.5 to 3 hours. BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE! 💜🎉🧨🎉🥳💜
I feel like ON was the anthem we didn’t know we needed yet. The pandemic started a few months after this comeback happened, and ON (and actually all of Map of the Soul 7) gave me strength and hope~ 💜♾
I am a 70 year old grandmother/great grandmother Army. I feel like I just spent an hour on a big comfy couch with my beat friends enjoying BTS. What fun this was.I have been Army since 2017. Watching you getting so excited discovering the wonder of BTS, reminds me of my own journey. Believe me, my family thought I had lost my mind. But the truth is, the more you learn of BTS, the talent, passion, personality's, character of each member, the more you are drawn in. I am glad to see that I was not the only one to get so excited as I uncovered the messages in their music.They are spreading so much positivity and love. People of ALL ages are picking up on it . They are single handedly changing the world for the better. I try my best each day to mimic them by spreading positivity and love as well. Welcome to the Army, and please , don't tone your enthusiasm down for us. Just enjoy! Looking forward to the rest of your journey.
Buddy, we sat on award shows for 3-4 hours to see BTS perform for 3-5 minutes.. with the quality you put out and your insights on the cinematography, lyrics and the entire shebang an hour seemed like 10-15 minutes. SO yeah, excited to see what you put out next. And oh, one last thing, hahah I think we may need a "bigger couch" hahaha. You nice, keep going!
Hi Roscoe...the ' carried myself into this beautiful prison' is the boys singing career. They chose this life willingly even though it has been hard on them. The 'find me and I'm gonna live with ya' is calling to us to join them and they will stay with us through our hard times. To me that's what I felt it meant. 🙂
Also wanted to add. Your about the only reactor that I really comment on. I love your reactions and going back down the rabbit hole. This is what I like about them. They make you think not just the lyrics but the mv as well. And I like the fact that you can just vibe with the music. Now I'm going back to my corner. 💜
Based on your intuition, I would have loved to see you do this version back to back with the other 'cinematic' version of 'ON' that tells a story. It's like watching a movie, beautifully filmed, I can picture it on the 'big screen'. Once again, this video encompasses the Carl Jung Map of the Soul theory using black and white and shadows and personal inner conflict. I hope one day, if you haven't already, you will watch RM's rap song 'Persona' followed by the explanation as it is the first song and it explains all about Map of the Soul Series and Carl Jung. Thank you Roscoe! ARMY grandma
While sure it's about BTS it's also very much about sharing a journey. For me I love seeing someone fall in love with them. it's about ARMY coming together at all different stages ourselves and different favorite videos songs etc and sharing it with a another person and each other. To me anyways..
Your excitement for BTS content is always contagious! My face hurts just from smiling through this whole reaction :). The boys talk a lot about The Shadow inside of us - it’s part of their ongoing journey of growing to love and accept themselves, the good AND the bad sides. ON, to me, is like the boys encouraging me to continue on, even when my “shadow” is causing doubt/pain/grief. The song gives me strength and comfort all at the same time. Bring the pain on, I’m going to embrace it and get through it. Hope you watch the making-of of this mv! You’ll get all the cool behind the scenes of the choreo practice and then the filming on location. Also, I feel you’re getting that much closer to being a true ot7 ARMY - it’s seriously the best! Enjoyed the comfy couch as always, have a great day Roscoe!💜
Hey, please make room on your big comfy couch for a 60-something BTS newbie. I just discovered them about a month ago while going down a RUclips rabbit hole and was entranced immediately. So I understand and share your new obsession. These guys are incredibly talented and amazingly entertaining - not to mention the important messages in their music. I’ve always loved all different types of music, but never thought I’d get so into a group of kids from Korea who I had never heard of (guess I had been living under a rock). I’m really enjoying sharing your amazement and joy at watching and learning about BTS. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride. P.S. my husband thinks I’ve gone a bit nuts, but I’ll bring him over to ARMY eventually, LOL!
Roscoe finally you got it right..RM said in their interview ..they made this album finally facing their shadow and fears head on and accepting themselves ..ON is that anthem
Wow Roscoe, I connect with you in so many ways it’s scary. To say Michael Jackson means the world to me is an understatement. I was 10 yrs old when Thriller came out and I’ve been completely obsessed ever since. It’s crazy to say but his artistry and passion for excellence help shape me as a person. He was my escapism, and through him, my very typical world felt magical. After MJ there hasn’t been another artist that has rocked my world…until 2 years ago when I discovered BTS. I never thought in million years I’d feel that same excitement again. I love these boys more than I ever thought possible. I catch myself imaging what Michael would have thought of them, I know without a doubt he would have loved them and been humbled by how much he’s inspired them. How fortunate are we to witness them both during our lifetime? Thank you for letting me sit on your couch and feel the excitement of discovering BTS all over again. I really appreciate your sincerity and selfless desire to connect with us through your channel. I’m typically just a silent viewer (well I’m screaming and jamming right along with you, but I’m usually not one to leave a comment). I felt compelled though to share in the MJ love, say thank you, and to buckle in for the BTS ride! RM, Suga, Jin, Hobi, Jimin, Tae and JK will each touch your heart and make you believe in magic again. Much love, borahae!!!
I agree! He was suggested in my twt gc and I've been binging since last night, but had to stop at Spring Day from the emotional roller coaster. As a fellow Joon bias his fan-girling is the best and TOTALLY understandable. Lol
I believe the members in the ending shot are staring at the ON written in the sky. If you imagine looking from the other side, the song becomes "NO" and they walked down stairs together in that video.
“Here’s where it all falls apart” 🤣 when I say I am in tears laughing! 💜 it can take a while to remember everyone, especially when they are CONSTANTLY changing their hair 🙃
I tried introducing my sister to BTS and the first thing I had to tell her knowing how she is was “don’t rely on hair colors“. She was very upset because apparently that was how she wanted to identify them
So, I came here for some solace. BigHit just made the military announcement for RM, Jimin, V, and JK. I knew your reaction to this piece would be explosive and epic 😊 It was the perfect anecdote to the news. Thank you! I don't usually want time to fly, BUT 2025 better get here pretty (*&^ quick! Your reactions are awesome 💜
A few interesting facts about the mv for BTS "ON" official video: The dance portion was choreographed by Sienna Lalau, from the LA area when still in her teens. She appears in the video leading the dancers up front & center at the beginning of the video. Sienna also choreographed BTS's "Dionysus" performance dance (watch it live, amazing) and J-hope's "Chicken Noodle Soup " (and dances in it also). The dancers were from THE LAB, a multinational dance troup Sienna works with & who BTS has used while on tour in the US. The band appearing in the mv is "The Blue Devils", a competitive Drum and Bugle Corp . The video was filmed at the Sepulveda dam outside LA.
This video was released right before Covid hit. To me this was a shot across the bow of the American Music Industry. J.K.'s line says: My everythin' My blood and tears Got no fears, I'm singin', oh-oh-woah-oh-oh Oh I'm takin' over You should know yeah ~ JK is telling us they are taking over! Then covid hit!
I hate being sick because I feel like I get to the couch late due to sleeping so much. Everyone has probably told you all the theories or interesting facts, so here is my two cents. I was so proud that the Blue Devils Drum Corps got to be in this video with the dancers from The Lab. I marched in a group that competed against BD and it's always awesome to me to see drum corps represented. I'm a fourth generation member and it just makes me proud. 💜 Next time BTS needs a drum corps, I hope they are in Boston, MA so MY corps can be involved. 😅🤞💜 Also... Roscoe: SUUGGAAA! Suga: J-HOOOOOPPPPE 🤣 THAT IS ALL. 💜
I am really enjoying your reactions so thank you.This brilliant MV video was what sparked my interest in BTS during one of the Australian pandemic lockdowns. As I had recently retired, I had the time to delve further into this amazingly talented group and have watched so many BTS songs, performances and other content since their debut in 2013. Needless to say, I am well and truly ensconced down the BTS rabbit hole! I love all of these talented, respectful and humble young men but Jimin is my ultimate favourite, followed by J Hope and Suga. Also kudos to RM for his multiple talents and for being an excellent leader of the group.
An hour in and I could keep watching 😁 Don't let anyone tell you your interpretations are wrong, what you get out of BTS songs is for you and you alone. Finding out additional meanings just helps you learn about BTS and their messages, but don't let go of your own feelings. Just FYI, I'm ex-Air Force Intel and turning 60 this year. I just love BTS and RM is also my bias, but I truly love all the boys 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 You introduced me to Beat Sabre and I'm thrilled your doing these reactions. Love your channel and you too. Thank you 🥰
Jeez, I had to check if I posted this comment, lol! Fellow AF vet and except for being 50-something, every word could have been me commenting! Great minds think alike or lol, are we sharing braincells?💜
Roscoe, I’m writing this at the point where you have been discussing freezing with fear and breaking out of it. Nine years ago on New Years eve, the congestion that I had been feeling transformed into a situation where every breath I took was utterly agonizing. It became a fierce struggle
Definitely here for the full hour! I love learning all kinds of new things about cameras and cuts and all that, and really enjoy your insights and interpretations. The one you kept talking about doing the Michael Jackson moves is Jungkook. RM has been my bias from the first time I watched a video closely enough to note any of them as more than "hey they dance and sing in that video", and hasn't been wrecked yet, but every single one of the others is a very very *very* close second place. OT7 is a thing for a reason! All of them should get all of our support. Also, yeah, they are all masters at playing to the camera.
The one you confidently called Jungkook at 37:05 was Jin; Jungkook was the one with the haunting voice and the one with the writing on his face was Taehyung/V. You'll get it! I mixed those three up for the longest time. Here's a facial recocnition tip, since they all keep changing their hair: Jin has those plump cherub lips like a Victorian doll, and round cheeks, that's why ARMYs call him a hamster; Taehyung's mouth naturally turns down at the corners when at rest and when he's smiling is sort of box-shaped; Jungkook has prominent front teeth, huge round bambi eyes and a big earnest bunny smile - hence 'bunny'. I hope that helps!
After the heaviness of spring day this will be a fun reaction! I’m so excited ☺️💜 Edit: fun fact the girl you see in the first shot is the one who did the choreo for this!
@@ThisRoscoe I know right?? You HAVE to check out the live performance on jimmy fallon they do at grand central. I don’t know if they’ll let you post it if you wanted to do a reaction but you need to watch it regardless!
@@ThisRoscoe you'd need to adjust the video or audio(of what you show US)... Some overlay another video(so both visuals play together) so that it's not so clear, and some mess with the audio WE hear (which I like less). Most ARMY understand and are familiar with constraints required due to broadcast/copyright issues and make do as best we can, lol. We'd absolutely LOVE to see your reaction, so we "suffer" what we must, lol.
Hi, that was me who said you might not survive the rapline lol. Like, you better wear a helmet or something, for safety reasons. I mean, ya boy RM was already demolishing underground rappers at 15 years old. Suga said he knew of RM before joining BTS because of RM's reputation in the underground rap scene. All the rappers were afraid to battle RM, and they were all so much older. But yeah, I would say all 3 rappers are very tame and mellow in these BTS songs you've done haha. Suga's rapper alter ego for his solo stuff is Agust D. When Agust D steps out, you better brace yourself. And Hobi may be our sunshine, but when he's rapline J-Hope sometimes I feel attacked. The way I laughed when you screamed SUGGAAAA at his part haha. Suga is known for screaming J-Hope's name a lot when they watch their own music videos or live performance vids. Whenever J-Hope pops on the screen, Suga points and screams J-HOOOOOOOOOOPE. He did it so much that it became like a meme 🤣 J-Hope is a very extroverted and expressive guy. Since his foremost passion is hiphop dancing, he expresses a lot with body language and he also makes a lot of sound effects. He's bubbly, goofy and scream and laughs quite a lot haha. Suga is introverted and tends to not be as openly expressive sometimes, but other members can bring it out of him, especially JHope. Maybe that's why Suga screams Jhope's name so much? They are like the perfect opposite counterparts to each other, yin and yang.
I will NEVER EVER EVER move on from this MV. Yoongi's facial expression after the "spin" is the death of me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Such a joy watching your videos, Roscoe 💜🌌🫂💜
I wached the entire video, and spend all the hour smiling, so I think I have pass the test hahaha. I really love your reactions, becaouse you try to pick up everithing and don't pretend what you don't feel. I don't know of you will believe this, but along the day, I couldn't stop myself from checking RUclips to watch your reaction. Thank you so much. 💜
The beautiful prison is living with your personal shadows, your dark side. But also in this case, fame. A lot of this song is the perspective of living in "two worlds" of their real selves and their persona, or their Korean-ness and their worldwide attention.
Jumping (very gently) onto the comfy couch. Started at Ep. 6 last night...now I'm here...and having fun! Thanks for your reactions, Roscoe. I'm a GenX ARMY and always enjoy watching authentic reactors from any generation, but GenX ARMY have a special spot in my heart.
A manifesto is a public declaration of one’s beliefs and intentions. Usually a manifesto is written, as in Mein Kampf (Hitler’s Nazi ideology), or the Communist Manifesto (K. Marx). But in this case, BTS’s declaration of their philosophy is done in kinetic form (through a choreographed performance). The lyrics of ON, expresses their resilience over time and going forward (Bring the pain on). They are used to challenges. Ironically, they did not anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic that would bring the world to a stand still, including the cancellation of their MOTS 7 world tour… but out of the forced limbo, they made BE, their latest album, and their record breaking online concerts.
Jin has the silver jacket, J-Hope is all black V (black hair) & Jimin (silver hair) all white Suga, Namjoon & Jungkook are in black trouser/jackets & white inner shirts (difference in their colour)… Take note of their order (eldest to youngest) when they lined up, just before Jungkook belted his solo part: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Namjoon, Jimin, V, Jungkook.
About the shadow part, its based on Carl Jung's concept of persona, shadow and ego(theres also 3 solo rapline songs with the same name) which was a theme for this era. The channel dkdktv has a series of videos which breaks down a lot of their songs so you can check them out. And yes you wont survive the rapline haha. their best songs include ddaeng, outro:tear, ugh! and many many more!! Also I think knowing the members (introduction video 2021 update) will make u appreciate their art even more :D
I think BTS' more recent imagery is almost never about haters any more. Around the Mic Drop remix, they made a point of saying goodbye to the haters and that they had simply achieved enough success that they chose to no longer be informed and driven by that narrative any longer.
"Carried myself into this beautiful prison" I think this refers to their struggles as artists; they made a choice, albeit a difficult one, so they're prepared to see it through to the end.
I love your reactions!! Your excitement is infectious! This is one of my favourite videos, everything about it pulls you in, the lyrics hit and the choreo is so lit, the Jimin effect is so real in this video, he is my bias but still.I can’t wait to see how” blood sweat and tears “ breaks your mind for the imagery in it.
@@ThisRoscoe Your were doing so good with their names, lol, and then you got stuck(cutely) when you solidly identified jean jacketed vocalist Jin as "Jungkook" and then "my everything" vocalist Jungkook as Jimin😂 So cute! We see you trying hard though, don't worry, you'll get it soon! For the record, Jimin was the very first member singing and V jumped out from behind him. And like it's been said, they are lined up and peel off in age order, oldest to youngest, Jin, Suga, JHope, RM, Jimin, V, and finally Jungkook with his "my everything" solo
It's soooo good to see you going through this journey of discovery and actually experience the joy we felt through your eyes of when we first discovered BTS. We're here for the long videos, the short ones, for all of them as long as they're honest and you are one of the real ones. Now scooch over and let me find a little corner on this couch as I'm here for the ride. Regarding the members and trying to identify them, don't stress to much... in a few videos things will just click and you'll be shocked at how you were ever confused. At 57:05, that boy in the centre is our maknae (the youngest of the group) Jungkook. Same guy with the angelic voice that sang the bridge. Jimin has the grey hair, he started the song and he's centre screen when you paused at 48:10. V has the face tattoo on this MV (48:55) and he's the one popping behind Jimin on the first verse. As for our Worldwide Handsome Jin, he's in the centre straight after the dance break (57:48). As for the rap line, you got it down! And yes...... I made sure to pull times for the end of the video to show you we really mean it when we say we'll watch it no matter how long the video is :) Can't wait for the next one and to see you explore further into this universe. Welcome to ARMY!
I've grown to love this video. Im a person who loves music but mostly listening and feeling the songs I've been that way since I was a kid I never cared about the dancing . So I had to watch this several times to appreciate it and now its right up there for me. In another performance of the song they were on a football (soccer field ), they were filming an awards show performance during covid the mama 2020 , this isn't the song but they might of used the same band though im not sure. Thanks for making room on the big comfy couch for me.
You really made a reaction that would bring you into the video itself. The feel, the mood, everything, will stirs your emotions and leaves an unforgetable mark in your viewing journey changing your visual landscape. Thanks a lot

Roscoe naming BTS members: "....And this is where it all falls apart"
I laughed out loud to that
I felt SO GOOD until THAT moment! LMAO
Same 🤣🤝
@@ThisRoscoe Don't sweat it. I'll be here on the couch with you until you have that special moment when you realize that not only do you know every member's name & face, you also can tell exactly who is singing/rapping by just their voice
I laughed at "Jungshookt" 😂
Oh, Roscoe! It's always a delight to watch you react to the Tannies 💜
I laughed so loud too. I was feeling so proud when he named the first 4. But it's understandable Roscoe, when I was trying to learn their names, it was also V, Jin & JK that took me a long time to remember.
To me the “ carried myself into this beautiful prison” means they’ve chosen this life and the limitations of celebrity. Where they are limited but it’s also a beautiful place.
Oh that is SUPER interesting... Nice!
This came out literally before the pandemic hit. This was their kick off to what was supposed to be their world tour and new album, but pandemic hit. They were so excited and pumped to show us what they had been planning for MONTHS. They did perform the song when they did an online concert, which we all were so grateful for, but it wasn't the same. They tried so hard to make us happy and not think about what the world is going through, and then we got the best comfort album ever, BE. They love us so much and we love them just as much. It's a beautiful thing 💜
And they performed it live in LA so beautifully T-T
I really enjoyed their performance of this song on Jimmy Fallon I believe. It was at grand central station…
And yes their albums BE is such a beautiful and comforting. I am a Dynamite ARMY so that albums means a lot to me. Lol. Plus I LOVE are more personal the album feels. That is just me though.
They love us so much and we love them just as much..such a beautiful line..it's just incredible that i can truly, truly feel they love me back..how can this be?
@@cc_dec1974 Thank you 💜🥰 Exactly! Why and how do I feel so loved by people who I don't even know or even have a chance to meet BUT I do!!
ON was soawesome at the LA concert was there for my birthday Nov 28.They open withOn
"I'm watching this sooo many times, y'all better get comfortable!"
--Roscoe, 2022 😂😂👍
Thank you! I don't like to comment, since I am not your typical demographic group for BTS, but I am enjoying your comments very much. I am watching you since your very first youtube video. So an hr is ok with me!!! I love them very much and love that someone else is discovering them too. Keep it up!!!
@@mercedesm5481 I'm starting to wonder whether there is a "typical" demographic group, though; all kinds of people seem to be sitting on the couch, lol. 😊😍
I 💯 ARMY
@@mercedesm5481 Great thing about BTS is that there is no dominant demographic group!
ARMY since Feb 2021, I have watched this so many times and IT NEVER GETS OLD!
FYI: This location is called the Sepulveda Dam, located in the valley/Los Angeles. Many tv/movies have been filmed at this location. Scenes from The Fugitive, Grease, Ironman, True Lies and most recently Peacemaker, starring John Cena. During our trip to see BTS in December, we took a day trip to go to dam to take photos. There were other ARMY there with the same idea. It was so much fun.
Wicked cool!
Wow!! That sounds fun!!
That sounds like so much fun!!
We went too! Some of my favorite memories of our BTS concert experience!
hell yeaahh...I went there too last Dec for their PTDA concert at sofi when I took my time to go to sepulveda dam so many ARMYs there...it was so much fun...we're like a family
Both the lyrics and the MV represent the internal battle we sometimes have with our shadows. The drums announce the battle. The lyrics then say that we must face our shadows to develop and improve ourselves. That's why the lyrics say "Bring the pain, I'm a fighter"
There are 2 videos you can watch that relate to this mv. One is the making of ON mv and the other is about making the music. Both are good. There’s also a live version on a football field with an actual marching band that’s excellent.
There others: the first MV and that at the train station made for Jimmy Fallon show.
Yes and dont forget the dance practice 😍💜
The two mv versions of this: 1) very cinematic ON MV, 2) choreographed/kinetic ON Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima.
There are quite a lot more than 2!
Also the choreo video where you can hear all the stomps, heaving breathing & hyping!
My interpretation on this is that when things get hard, sometimes the way to survive is for you to get harder. Bring on the pain because I will feed on it and let it fuel me, to not just make it through but to excel. It’s such a great motivation anthem 💪🏻
100%!
I agree 150% with you. "What doesn't kill me, gives me strength" we say. Every single time I had to restart my life from zero (at least twice) I got up and redid it in a better way and the feeling is soooo good!
Totally agree with what you said. I would also add on another some to me that is a great anthem is Not Today.
If you think you're going to crash then accelerate harder idiot! Suga - Nevermind
@@amberpearce710I definitely do hard press and push ups to Not today 😂
It's sooooo powerful!
About the "this beautiful prision" line= the music industry. Even tho they have glorious moments, where they make their songs, share the messages they want to, the love from the fans and all the success, fame brings a LOT of negativity (haters, media, etc) and it's like they can't scape this because even tho they suffer sometimes the good things are worth it, that's why they keep fighting, working harder and giving their best in everything they do. This song is really special to me cause it's giving me strenght ever since it come out just a little before all this pandemic shit started.
Yeah it has been a ROUGH couple of years to say the least.
This girl that the camera zooms in she's the leader of the drum band and she's the choreographer as well in this song and she's just 22 years old ❤
I love that she was a BTS fan first and an American. She is so talented. Their first practice is with her and the other dancers is so good. My favorite live of this is on Jimmy Fallon at Grand Central Station. All of the live performances they have done on his show are epic. Fallon is a HUGE BTS fan.
Yes her name is Sienna Lalau and I believe she was 19 when she first created the choreo for this....such an impressive individual.
@@TaylorCanada8 Yes. You are correct. She was 19 and made choreography for ON. The first she did choreography was BTS Dionysus.
She's actually the choreographer for the dance crew the Lab, the dancers in the video. They used the band but she's not the band leader.
She's choreographing out to quite a few crews and bands now. As far as I know...but I could be wrong, she also choreographed Dionysus.
Her and the Lab was used at PTD on stage in LA
Sienna Lalau is Hawaiian but now lives on mainland USA. The marching band is from.UCLA.
"What does RM stand for, Kids?"
Me: Roscoe's Maaan!
I'm only half way into your reaction but maaan as always I enjoy it so much.
Thanks for appreciating Hobi's part. Besides the dance break it's my favourite scene. The way he's carrying and expressing his rap through his movements is just amazing.
The verse "Gotta go insane to stay sane" has become my motto recently. The last weeks have been challenging with three kids in Kindergarten and School. We are constantly juggling between work, homeschooling, quarantine (sometimes one after another) and so on. I know we're not the only ones.
So my obsession with BTS is kinda insane but it really helps me to stay sane on a daily basis.
LOL, Roscoe, you might already know that there's another MV for "On" that is more storytelling. If you are going to react on this I will prepare myself for a 2 hours video at least. 😂 I think I commented it under your Save Me reaction - you're not fast food, you are a three course menu. I'm loving it! 💜
"you're not fast food, you are a three course menu." Might have to put this on my headstone. 😁
Love that saying!!! Lol
It stands for Rap Monster but know he says it stands for Real ME as well ❤
When he said "Roscoe's man!" I shouted to my screen.. "Oy, Roscoe! Get in line theeeeere at the back. It's a very long line." 😂
Hobi's verse and part is always my fav here. 🥰💜
@@eleniminas7742 he knows. This is a reference to one of his earlier videos where he was gleefully claiming RM as his own. Very funny man💜
There is a "making of" video. There is also the official MV for this song and a "making of" video of it. All are worth watching even if you don't do a reaction.. Love your channel. I'm sitting next to you on the couch. I am a 70 year old fan.
Hi Ava!!!
I'm here too, I'm 71 😁😁
I'm not sûre it's a good idea to react to the MV now because it's part of the BU and like je don't see anything connect to the BU he might be loose.
@@hobiscrap1947 I'm not sure it's part of the BU. To me, it's a separate alternate universe, just like Chakho
There is also the documentary about the recording of the choir and band parts of song itself (with a little Ego feature), the "Dialogue"
This channel is literally the embodiment of comfort, thank you for posting🫂
That means the world to me, thank you, Hye! 💜
It truly is. 💜
So BTS albums are meticulously in order. The song playlist as well as the album sequence and music videos. So watching the music video and song out of order u may miss somethings.
This song is ON goes with the anthem N.O. the theme of no offense or N.O. was the BTS saying u have to fight the system that is trying to keep u in the box. ON says I don't give a ugh. Bring ON the fight we will be ourselves person, shadow and ego. We have found who we are and we are learning to love ourselves.
The Come prima is an Italian term that, in the direction in music, means repetition. It means in the same manner as the first time (As before). Put together, we have BTS' declaration of acceptance. They now are owning the fact that they are both light and shadow.
If u look at the albums u can see the progression of them grow up. BTS in School learning to love, learning they must love themselves and now they have learned who they are. Now the can say I know who I am and I love myself.
Ps I love the Kirk Franklin and I am a OT7. Start as a Suga and RM bias and it grew to OT7. I love who ever in on the screen at that time.
I agree about the watching in order, as well. I generally give the same advice, but Roscoe is doing this in his order and we are along for the ride. You never know, he might pick up on the older references in backwards order, he's extremely observant.
OT7 as well, but I started as. Joon bias and Suga Bias wrecker which switched, then Tae wrecked me and the rest came BLASTING through! Nice to meet another straight OT7! 💜
“i love whoever is on the screen at the time” i say this too! i’m ot7 as well. i can’t imagine picking a favorite, and see no need to do so. i *may* have a fave for a particular performance, but i can’t say i gravitate towards any member more than others because they are all so special.
Gahhhhhhhhhh this is so brilliant. Great explanation. Borahae 💜
“Carried myself into this beautiful prison”
I interpret that line on a personal level for BTS. They gave up a normal life and a lot of their youth to chase and achieve their dreams. I don’t think they would make a different decision if they had to do it again, but you have to wonder if the fame and loss of privacy and hectic schedules aren’t a “beautiful prison.” I feel like the entire song is personal for them and their hardships in the industry.
That’s also how I interpret that line.
I have the same feeling too
It's similar to "yeah we picked this game" in Louder Than Bombs.
@@donitapolk9413 yes!
@@donitapolk9413 Just listened to that tonight. So many ‘less known’ (by non BTS fans) songs I love. Louder than bombs, Fly To My Room, Stay Gold, and so many more
ok this is how you can tell them apart:
7:52 they are lined up from oldest to youngest
JIN - SUGA- JHOPE - RM - Jimin - V - Jungkook
i have not even finished the video and i am already spaming, sorry.
38:53 "she is killing it" this woman is Sienna Lalau, the choreographer of this performance. She is so young but already so absolutely brilliant, an amazing dancer also. This young woman also did the choreography for "dionysus", which is iconic! She is gorgeous!
it makes me so happy to watch your reaction because you are noticing everything, every little detail. It is wonderful to see you falling in love with Bts, it realyly is. they are not only exceptional artists they are also hot as h... I am not disrespetful and i am not sexualizing these men, it is nothing but the truth, they are f....sexy.
Because of the camera work: the crew were using drones to film some of the scenes.
@Roscoe, after almost 4 yrs since ON Kinetic Manifesto was first shown & hundreds of times I've watched it + reaction videos, IMHO yours is the best reaction - detailed point-by-point analysis, respectful critique & such oh so contagious thrilling reaction.
These guys are pure art, 💯. 💜
Aside from the message of the song, what I get from this video is that it is exactly what it says in the name. The Kinetic part is because the video is so focused on the movement. And this song is their Manifesto to the world. Telling the world to bring it on. They can face it all. But that is just my take.
Also, I think the line "carried myself into this beautiful prison " has to do with the way they have to live because of their fame. It can be hard to live the way they do, but they love what they do, and they chose it.
I agree with you on the line... being idols are maybe like being in a beautiful prison...restricted life and being "watched" constantly...
Hi Gwen! Nice to bump into you here, you were in getsideways right??? When Roscoe thanked you, I immediately searched to make sure it was you!😅
Roscoe, the way you screamed "SUGAAAAA !" when he came on screen the way Syga screams "J HOOOOOOOOPE" when they're watching their own MVs just killed me x)
Army for a year and new to the couch, I really enjoyed your reactions that I've seen so far ! It's really cool to revisit and rediscover BTS for the thousandth time with someone as involved and passionate :D
I hope you understand that I don't exaggerate when I say that I get SO EXCITED every single time I see a notification that you posted a new video. AND THIS TIME IT'S FOR "ON: KINETIC MANIFESTO COME PRIMA" MV!!! LET'S FRIGGIN' GOOOOO!
*Story Time w/ Jan* :
This MV dropped in the middle of the week. I distinctly remember this because the next day I had work at 8AM and so I tried to stay up for the premiere at 2AM PST but my eyes were too heavy. I fell asleep. The next thing I knew, my body shot up in bed. Wide awake at 4:30AM and slightly manic, I was heartbroken when I saw the time but that didn't quell my racing heart.
My very first BTS comeback was finally here and I wasn't going to miss another second of it sleeping! With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I hastily wiped the sleep from my eyes as I unlocked my tablet and loaded "ON: Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima" MV on RUclips. Apparently, that RUclips premiere broke the record with 1.54m concurrent viewers at that time. That means that by the time I loaded the MV, it had already garnered over 4M views. I was not only impressed, I was floored by that number. 4M in just a couple of hours? How did they even? And then I actually saw the MV and my jaw was on the floor! To say that I was blown away, would have been the understatement of the decade! It was unlike anything I had ever seen before and it was how I knew I was witnessing something truly extraordinary! There was no hope of going back to sleep. I immediately jumped on Spotify and for the 75 minutes wept, cheered, smiled, and melted as I basked in the glory that was their new album, Map of the Soul: 7, that had just been released. I vowed that I would see them in concert.
We won't continue with what had transpired after that bc it's just too depressing to think about but that was the story of my very first BTS comeback.
Ooof... sorry about that. I just get so excited when it comes to this MV. It made quite the first impression on me so I understand your need to talk about this MV for nearly an hour!
"slightly manic".. i feel like that sums me up perfectly. Slightly. Not WILD and INTENSE at all. #Sarcasm Oh and Hi Jan!!! 👋
You absolutely paint a vivid picture with your words; consider taking up a writing career if you haven't already. Loved your storytelling! 😊👍💜 BTW, On was my first comeback too, so I can totally relate to everything you wrote.
@@s.susanmarandi9080 That's so sweet of you to say. I do happen have an associates degree in English and I'm currently getting my Speech and Language Pathology degree with a minor in English Literature. Writing has been my passion for so long now and getting the opportunity to go back to school to fulfill my dream of completing my studies and helping people with speech impediments and disorders so that they can effectively speak their minds and share their thoughts with the world, would be a dream come true. And I would have BTS to thank for that.
When RM had talked about being a young and successful student but not truly having a dream, that sentiment hit me like a freight train. That was the very first catalyst that stirred something inside me. And I had Namjoon to thank for that. To think that if he didn't have to ability or the platform to be able to speak his mind and what was in his heart, I would still be complacently stuck at my 9-5 office job today. I wanted chase that dream again and not settle for my current reality, just like Bangtan. I wanted everyone around me to be able to have the ability to communicate their thoughts and dreams too; to share their stories if they so choose. Because everyone deserves the right to be able to communicate... we are social creatures after all. We crave that connection with "our fellow people" and if I am able to help them be able to do that more effectively, I feel like my life will finally have meaning again.
me too when i saw you were going to do this...so good, thank you Roscoe💜
i love your story
It gives me the vibes of a older song of them .."NOT TODAY " That was the song they found me when I needed them the most being in a very dark place of depression 💔❤❤
I LOVE that song, but I have only heard it a couple times in Beat Saber. SO looking forward to that one.
I agree. Hope you're doing great now!
Since I found them/found me I'm doing better..trying harder is not that easy but definitely they helped me big time..and still do.They are such an inspiration 💙 in doing better because I feel I'm not alone anymore and I have the beautiful Army to talk and support each other.Army is the most 💜 beautiful and precious Fandom because our precious 7 boys are such an inspiration to all of us 💜love you all Army ❤❤❤❤❤
Not Today is also an amazing song with similar meaningish, in my opinion.
@@eleniminas7742 ❤❤❤
I have my own personal theory about this performance.
1) "Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" means "A declaration told in movement of what came before."
2) During this particular comeback, BTS made a lot of callbacks to their earlier career. The last song on the album even begins with their debut teaser, the very first thing they ever released as a group. Each live stage during award season featured a song from their debut year as well.
3) A person familiar with the choreo of older BTS songs can spot pieces of iconic dance throughout the choreo for this song. Suga's kick from IDOL. The backup dancers in the beginning resemble the soldier/teachers from N.O with their batons. J-hope's solo reminds us of the choreo from Fire, but reversed. JK's walk is from an iconic "Airplane: Pt 2" stage. The snappy level changes from "Dope". And of course, Jimin's jacket drop from "Blood Sweat and Tears". There are more, but these are examples that are pretty easy to spot. So I think this is literally what it says, a dance highlighting and calling back to what came before.
There are also a lot of new things in this video/choreo that we never got from BTS before. It's the first time they showed this much skin, for example. All around, it's just a really mind-blowing performance.
Great comment!
I didn’t even notice an hour had gone by. This MV was one of my first and made me ARMY. I have no problem watching it over and over with you!
I laughed so loud at “Roscoe’s Man!”
FACTS is FACTS! Haha
Ya this was the song that was supposed to be their breakout in the American market. They literally pulled out all the stops including the marching band but alas the song peaked at #4 on the charts with zero radio play time. Yes they used drones; you can see them in the making of. As others have said, the live performance at grand central station for the jimmy fallon show is amazing. Glad you liked this one hehe 💜💜💜
BigHit fumbled with ON. They released so many versions, all released at the wrong time, the song could not chart to #1. And then it freefall out of the charts. They learnt enough from this for Dynamite, thankfully.
There were a million versions of Butter. They’re still releasing new versions. Dynamite broke through because it’s in English. Like it or not, Americans were not ready to embrace Korean language songs fully. Now we’re 3 mega hits deep in English (and Life Goes On, which did remarkably well for being foreign, especially Korean) and Americans are learning Korean. I think now would be an opportunity to drop a Korean single.
#4 is pretty good IMHO.
@@sariel8406 It wasn’t that BH fumbled… less than a month later the pandemic took over and killed all promo. They couldn’t do more than Fallon. Honestly, #4 was a great entry on BB.
“Wonder Woman stay wit me girl” lolololololololol. Fact: BTS does have a theme and order about their music, however the discography and videos are enjoyable standing alone as well. Baby Army never come into the fandom in order, it usually happens when they get introduced to a song or see them on a award show, TRUE Army eventually take the deep dive and go back to find the order and underlying messages in their work. and it that much better.
Wow I literally just said something like this somewhere. Maybe a comment or a message, I can’t remember. I’m having a blast with these “heavy hitters” but I’m looking forward to starting at Day One.
Thank you for giving us a lot of things through this journey! I don`t understand all your words but I can read your warm heart. 감사합니다!

@@ThisRoscoeI appreciate you so much.
This was my intro to BTS and I could not stop watching it. I was enthralled. The woman in the very beginning is the choreographer, shes amazing.
Roscoe - this is the title track to their Map of the Soul: 7 album. The album is a musical masterpiece and the songs, when listening to them in order, is about the members’ journey as BTS. “ON” is the climax where they accept their status as global superstars (the cage they have put themselves in) and the pleasures and pain that come with this status. RM does an album review on Vlive where he talks about the album and his thoughts when they put together this album. Its lovely to hear RM discuss it, once you listen to all the songs.
MOTS 7 is definitely a masterpiece!💯
My goodness...I wanted to say THANK YOU...first time i see someone who have that same reaction on BTS like i have...i was laughing....you are amazing... they are the best one with everything..and the have the must amazing and so hard choreography i every see...they work so hard for everything they get... but your reaction it so fantastic...thank you 💜💜💜
“If depression and anxiety is going to be a part of me, just going to keep existing, then I have to embrace it and live with it”. When I heard that I almost jumped up! You got such a large part of the Map of the soul 7 album in one song! If you listened to the whole album in order you would understand more but man, you’re onto something! 😁🔥💜
@Roscoe&theBigComfyCouch
My 93 y/o mom was so excited that you were reacting to this one today. This is her absolute favorite BTS MV. She (and I) are really enjoying you so VERY much. Thanks for what you do! 💜💜💜
I loved every minute of this video. Don’t make them shorter. I love everything you include. You do a great job and your enthusiasm is infectious.
The thing is, aside from everything else, you also have to think about the songs as a part of the album the song comes from. ON is from Map of the Soul 7, which is an album about inner battles. It talks about acknowledging and getting to know your "shadow" (the part of yourself you hide out of fear) and accept it as part of yourself in order to fully accept who you are. The shadow is also the reason for the writing on Tae's face. The Map of the Soul series is inspired by Carl Gustav Jung's Map of the Soul, which says that the human soul consists of three parts: ego, persona and shadow. The ego is your sense of self, your conscious part of who you know you are. Shadow is your hidden part - the part you hide even from yourself out of shame or fear. Persona is the part of yourself you show to the outside world.
I think your theory about the music industry is actually correct.. the original MV actually always give me these vibes.. and they throw themselves in this beautiful prison.. which is the music industry.. and RM said.. it's not that I'm unafraid.. but I fly together with the black wind.. and Suga said.. as long as my feet are not buried.. it's okay if I fall.. I'm gonna get up.. so bring the pain on.. cause we love what we do.. and we're gonna rise together with ARMY..
Also RM always talked about their second single which is N.O.. which if you flip it.. it becomes ON.. but N.O is talking about the koreon educational system.. so I can't link together.. but he always mentioned it when talking about ON..
Also notice this song is part of Map of the soul album which includes concepts from Carl Jung's map of the soul book..
I'm excited for you to watch the dance practice to this.. it's even more hype.. it gets me excited everytime I watch it..
And about the boys.. don't worry too much about the biases.. each and every one constantly wrecks us.. you named them all right.. but the two you missed were.. V and Jungkook.. V is the one with the tattoo on his face and it says.. "The shadow like me." and Jungkook is the one with the Micheal Jackson moves.. the one that sang the high note..
Thank you Mr. Roscoe for hanging out.. it was a pleasure.. happy to see you excited and happy again .. see you next time.. purple you 💜💜💜💜💜
Great point about N.O and ON. Linking them together, I feel like N.O is about rebellion and going against the system, while ON is about acceptance, embracing the pain and being triumphant while being in the system.
@@LeyneeClicks wow, great point.. never thought about it that way.. thank you for sharing 😊💜
I freaking love this song, the meaning and this MV!!!!
Challenge accepted! I watched the entire thing. Don't underestimate ARMY! We are in this for life and we will watch! Love your videos!
I gotta tell you: I´m stuck in you reactions to BTS! I´m new to them too, and I´m loving spend my freaking day watching you watching them! Tks for that!
Thank you so much!!
It was a drone … it shows it in the making of this video…love the reaction x
Honey, I am so... grateful. A lot of people react to the boys just for the views. You see, ARMYs can give their love easily (myself included) if someone showing even a little bit of appreciation to our boys, and a lot of reactors try to gain from views and subs from it ....
But you willing to watch them without any judgment or whatsoever with real sparkles in your eyes and well, thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.
He is honestly the most genuine reactor I have ever seen when it comes to BTS. He is 100% all in for them, and it warms my heart.
You did this justice! Don’t care how long it was, loved every minute of how you processed this!
Love your enthusiasm!!! When I was baby ARMY I decided to listen to their songs in album order. I did this because it paints the bigger picture.
It’s Jungkook who sings the haunting part…💜
When you ask, towards the end “is that Jimin, the one I keep saying…Michael Jackson…”, at the time I think you have stopped on Jungkook - JK has black hair here, and is wearing white vest, black jacket, black pants. Jimin, here, has the inky-blue hair and is dressed all in white, Jin is wearing denim, and Tae/V has the face ink…
Jin is not wearing denim. his jacket was originally all black. a few of the members decided to change up what they were originally wearing so they would stand out more from the extra dancers. Im not sure what they sprayed on the front of his jacket but it made it light blue/white.
@@ForgetfulDreams6 thank you - it looks like faded denim on the front, sorry 😞
@@allisonB123 all good, I wondered for the longest time too! Then somewhere I saw a video of the front of his jacket being sprayed with something to make it pop :)
@@ForgetfulDreams6 that’s so interesting - thanks for sharing (every detail enriches our knowledge) 🙏💜
at 37:07 and 08 is jin. the one that u wanted to stop looking at you was jungkook the one that had the solo part before jimin came back and taetae/v was the one in all white with black puffy hair with the words on his face that said "a shadow like me"
I would recommend to watch “The Introduction to 7 members”. It’s really helpful to know each member.
I’m moving forward again, know I’m way back here but I just love how excited you are to see and learn their stuff!! 😊 just so much fun to travel this road with you! Enjoying it !
The location is Sepulveda Dam in LA. The dance team is The Lab, and the choreographer, Sienna Lalau, is the girl in the front at beginning.
Love your channel & reactions.💜
Thanks for the info! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I had no idea this was The Lab! That’s so cool.
And she was only 19 when she did this choreography.
@Sandy DeBord The Lab were also the background dancers at the last concerts in L.A.
Sienna Lalau - Choreographer; UCLA Marching Band; and The Lab - Dancing Team. Sienna is the one you see in the front, in the beginning of the video. They also had them perform live with them on Jimmy Fallon at the NY Grand Central Station Terminal, and at the PTD On Stage Concert in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium (Nov 27,28, Dec 1,2, 2021). It was a 4 day sold out concert, and I was there on day 4. ON was the opening song on all 4 days. BTS also does not have an opening act, and the did 24 songs in 2.5 to 3 hours. BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE! 💜🎉🧨🎉🥳💜
I feel like ON was the anthem we didn’t know we needed yet. The pandemic started a few months after this comeback happened, and ON (and actually all of Map of the Soul 7) gave me strength and hope~ 💜♾
I am a 70 year old grandmother/great grandmother Army. I feel like I just spent an hour on a big comfy couch with my beat friends enjoying BTS. What fun this was.I have been Army since 2017. Watching you getting so excited discovering the wonder of BTS, reminds me of my own journey. Believe me, my family thought I had lost my mind. But the truth is, the more you learn of BTS, the talent, passion, personality's, character of each member, the more you are drawn in. I am glad to see that I was not the only one to get so excited as I uncovered the messages in their music.They are spreading so much positivity and love. People of ALL ages are picking up on it . They are single handedly changing the world for the better. I try my best each day to mimic them by spreading positivity and love as well. Welcome to the Army, and please , don't tone your enthusiasm down for us. Just enjoy! Looking forward to the rest of your journey.
Buddy, we sat on award shows for 3-4 hours to see BTS perform for 3-5 minutes.. with the quality you put out and your insights on the cinematography, lyrics and the entire shebang an hour seemed like 10-15 minutes. SO yeah, excited to see what you put out next. And oh, one last thing, hahah I think we may need a "bigger couch" hahaha. You nice, keep going!
Hi Roscoe...the ' carried myself into this beautiful prison' is the boys singing career. They chose this life willingly even though it has been hard on them. The 'find me and I'm gonna live with ya' is calling to us to join them and they will stay with us through our hard times. To me that's what I felt it meant. 🙂
Also wanted to add. Your about the only reactor that I really comment on. I love your reactions and going back down the rabbit hole. This is what I like about them. They make you think not just the lyrics but the mv as well. And I like the fact that you can just vibe with the music. Now I'm going back to my corner. 💜
Based on your intuition, I would have loved to see you do this version back to back with the other 'cinematic' version of 'ON' that tells a story. It's like watching a movie, beautifully filmed, I can picture it on the 'big screen'. Once again, this video encompasses the Carl Jung Map of the Soul theory using black and white and shadows and personal inner conflict. I hope one day, if you haven't already, you will watch RM's rap song 'Persona' followed by the explanation as it is the first song and it explains all about Map of the Soul Series and Carl Jung. Thank you Roscoe! ARMY grandma
I think Persona is a great recommendation, now that we know what RM stands for 😉
This song was the one that converted me to Army from a casual listener. Jimin's body roll and dance snagged me, lol
And that's when "Jimin stole your soul", right? 😂
I'm laughing here at your last sentence of comment and then your username 🤭 makes complete sense😁✨
While sure it's about BTS it's also very much about sharing a journey. For me I love seeing someone fall in love with them. it's about ARMY coming together at all different stages ourselves and different favorite videos songs etc and sharing it with a another person and each other. To me anyways..
Your excitement for BTS content is always contagious! My face hurts just from smiling through this whole reaction :).
The boys talk a lot about The Shadow inside of us - it’s part of their ongoing journey of growing to love and accept themselves, the good AND the bad sides. ON, to me, is like the boys encouraging me to continue on, even when my “shadow” is causing doubt/pain/grief. The song gives me strength and comfort all at the same time. Bring the pain on, I’m going to embrace it and get through it.
Hope you watch the making-of of this mv! You’ll get all the cool behind the scenes of the choreo practice and then the filming on location.
Also, I feel you’re getting that much closer to being a true ot7 ARMY - it’s seriously the best! Enjoyed the comfy couch as always, have a great day Roscoe!💜
Hey, please make room on your big comfy couch for a 60-something BTS newbie. I just discovered them about a month ago while going down a RUclips rabbit hole and was entranced immediately. So I understand and share your new obsession. These guys are incredibly talented and amazingly entertaining - not to mention the important messages in their music. I’ve always loved all different types of music, but never thought I’d get so into a group of kids from Korea who I had never heard of (guess I had been living under a rock). I’m really enjoying sharing your amazement and joy at watching and learning about BTS. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride. P.S. my husband thinks I’ve gone a bit nuts, but I’ll bring him over to ARMY eventually, LOL!
I believe you’re the only reactor I’ve watched that connected the title of the song to the theory of this mv. And thank you for the “lesson”. 💜.
Roscoe finally you got it right..RM said in their interview ..they made this album finally facing their shadow and fears head on and accepting themselves ..ON is that anthem
Wow Roscoe, I connect with you in so many ways it’s scary. To say Michael Jackson means the world to me is an understatement. I was 10 yrs old when Thriller came out and I’ve been completely obsessed ever since. It’s crazy to say but his artistry and passion for excellence help shape me as a person. He was my escapism, and through him, my very typical world felt magical.
After MJ there hasn’t been another artist that has rocked my world…until 2 years ago when I discovered BTS. I never thought in million years I’d feel that same excitement again. I love these boys more than I ever thought possible. I catch myself imaging what Michael would have thought of them, I know without a doubt he would have loved them and been humbled by how much he’s inspired them. How fortunate are we to witness them both during our lifetime?
Thank you for letting me sit on your couch and feel the excitement of discovering BTS all over again. I really appreciate your sincerity and selfless desire to connect with us through your channel. I’m typically just a silent viewer (well I’m screaming and jamming right along with you, but I’m usually not one to leave a comment). I felt compelled though to share in the MJ love, say thank you, and to buckle in for the BTS ride! RM, Suga, Jin, Hobi, Jimin, Tae and JK will each touch your heart and make you believe in magic again. Much love, borahae!!!
Roscoe you have fast become my favourite BTS reactor. Your couch is so comfy, thanks for having us all. 💜
Thank you, Natalie! So happy you're here and enjoying the couch!
Totally agree!!
I agree! He was suggested in my twt gc and I've been binging since last night, but had to stop at Spring Day from the emotional roller coaster. As a fellow Joon bias his fan-girling is the best and TOTALLY understandable. Lol
I believe the members in the ending shot are staring at the ON written in the sky. If you imagine looking from the other side, the song becomes "NO" and they walked down stairs together in that video.
“Here’s where it all falls apart” 🤣 when I say I am in tears laughing! 💜 it can take a while to remember everyone, especially when they are CONSTANTLY changing their hair 🙃
I tried introducing my sister to BTS and the first thing I had to tell her knowing how she is was “don’t rely on hair colors“. She was very upset because apparently that was how she wanted to identify them
@@MandiKS1020 I feel like that’s how everyone tries to identify them at first - a lot of reactors Ive seen say that 🤣
So, I came here for some solace. BigHit just made the military announcement for RM, Jimin, V, and JK. I knew your reaction to this piece would be explosive and epic 😊 It was the perfect anecdote to the news. Thank you! I don't usually want time to fly, BUT 2025 better get here pretty (*&^ quick! Your reactions are awesome 💜
Get comfy. 🛋️
I agreed 👍🏻
But V have to look at the camera. Because they are talking to people. For what they are applying to the song. 🎶
A few interesting facts about the mv for BTS "ON" official video:
The dance portion was choreographed by Sienna Lalau, from the LA area when still in her teens. She appears in the video leading the dancers up front & center at the beginning of the video.
Sienna also choreographed BTS's "Dionysus" performance dance (watch it live, amazing) and J-hope's "Chicken Noodle Soup " (and dances in it also).
The dancers were from THE LAB, a multinational dance troup Sienna works with & who BTS has used while on tour in the US.
The band appearing in the mv is "The Blue Devils", a competitive Drum and Bugle Corp .
The video was filmed at the Sepulveda dam outside LA.
This video was released right before Covid hit.
To me this was a shot across the bow of the American Music Industry. J.K.'s line says:
My everythin'
My blood and tears
Got no fears, I'm singin', oh-oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh I'm takin' over
You should know yeah ~ JK is telling us they are taking over! Then covid hit!
They are still taking over…now we just need to make sure we get an #1 Billboard since they changed some of their rules!!!
I feel you 100 percent! this song came out less then a week after i discovered them and i still remember the chills!
The most important line in the song is: "Find me and I'm gonna live with you." ;)
I hate being sick because I feel like I get to the couch late due to sleeping so much. Everyone has probably told you all the theories or interesting facts, so here is my two cents. I was so proud that the Blue Devils Drum Corps got to be in this video with the dancers from The Lab. I marched in a group that competed against BD and it's always awesome to me to see drum corps represented. I'm a fourth generation member and it just makes me proud. 💜 Next time BTS needs a drum corps, I hope they are in Boston, MA so MY corps can be involved. 😅🤞💜
Also...
Roscoe: SUUGGAAA!
Suga: J-HOOOOOPPPPE 🤣
THAT IS ALL. 💜
Military vibes ~ BTS with ARMY marching around them protecting each other & saying bring it on is my take on that feeling from it
This has always been my feeling too!!💜
I am really enjoying your reactions so thank you.This brilliant MV video was what sparked my interest in BTS during one of the Australian pandemic lockdowns. As I had recently retired, I had the time to delve further into this amazingly talented group and have watched so many BTS songs, performances and other content since their debut in 2013. Needless to say, I am well and truly ensconced down the BTS rabbit hole! I love all of these talented, respectful and humble young men but Jimin is my ultimate favourite, followed by J Hope and Suga. Also kudos to RM for his multiple talents and for being an excellent leader of the group.
An hour in and I could keep watching 😁 Don't let anyone tell you your interpretations are wrong, what you get out of BTS songs is for you and you alone. Finding out additional meanings just helps you learn about BTS and their messages, but don't let go of your own feelings.
Just FYI, I'm ex-Air Force Intel and turning 60 this year. I just love BTS and RM is also my bias, but I truly love all the boys 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You introduced me to Beat Sabre and I'm thrilled your doing these reactions. Love your channel and you too. Thank you 🥰
Jeez, I had to check if I posted this comment, lol! Fellow AF vet and except for being 50-something, every word could have been me commenting! Great minds think alike or lol, are we sharing braincells?💜
the beauty is the dancers are stiff military style while bts is so fluid but is 100% power.....the combination is pure genius
On V's (Taehyung) face: Shadow like me
Roscoe, I’m writing this at the point where you have been discussing freezing with fear and breaking out of it. Nine years ago on New Years eve, the congestion that I had been feeling transformed into a situation where every breath I took was utterly agonizing. It became a fierce struggle
Definitely here for the full hour! I love learning all kinds of new things about cameras and cuts and all that, and really enjoy your insights and interpretations.
The one you kept talking about doing the Michael Jackson moves is Jungkook.
RM has been my bias from the first time I watched a video closely enough to note any of them as more than "hey they dance and sing in that video", and hasn't been wrecked yet, but every single one of the others is a very very *very* close second place. OT7 is a thing for a reason! All of them should get all of our support.
Also, yeah, they are all masters at playing to the camera.
The one you confidently called Jungkook at 37:05 was Jin; Jungkook was the one with the haunting voice and the one with the writing on his face was Taehyung/V. You'll get it! I mixed those three up for the longest time. Here's a facial recocnition tip, since they all keep changing their hair: Jin has those plump cherub lips like a Victorian doll, and round cheeks, that's why ARMYs call him a hamster; Taehyung's mouth naturally turns down at the corners when at rest and when he's smiling is sort of box-shaped; Jungkook has prominent front teeth, huge round bambi eyes and a big earnest bunny smile - hence 'bunny'. I hope that helps!
After the heaviness of spring day this will be a fun reaction! I’m so excited ☺️💜
Edit: fun fact the girl you see in the first shot is the one who did the choreo for this!
SHE IS SO SICK!
@@ThisRoscoe I know right?? You HAVE to check out the live performance on jimmy fallon they do at grand central. I don’t know if they’ll let you post it if you wanted to do a reaction but you need to watch it regardless!
I think she did the choreo for dancers, not for BTS
@@ThisRoscoe you'd need to adjust the video or audio(of what you show US)... Some overlay another video(so both visuals play together) so that it's not so clear, and some mess with the audio WE hear (which I like less). Most ARMY understand and are familiar with constraints required due to broadcast/copyright issues and make do as best we can, lol. We'd absolutely LOVE to see your reaction, so we "suffer" what we must, lol.
Hi, that was me who said you might not survive the rapline lol. Like, you better wear a helmet or something, for safety reasons. I mean, ya boy RM was already demolishing underground rappers at 15 years old. Suga said he knew of RM before joining BTS because of RM's reputation in the underground rap scene. All the rappers were afraid to battle RM, and they were all so much older. But yeah, I would say all 3 rappers are very tame and mellow in these BTS songs you've done haha. Suga's rapper alter ego for his solo stuff is Agust D. When Agust D steps out, you better brace yourself. And Hobi may be our sunshine, but when he's rapline J-Hope sometimes I feel attacked.
The way I laughed when you screamed SUGGAAAA at his part haha. Suga is known for screaming J-Hope's name a lot when they watch their own music videos or live performance vids. Whenever J-Hope pops on the screen, Suga points and screams J-HOOOOOOOOOOPE. He did it so much that it became like a meme 🤣
J-Hope is a very extroverted and expressive guy. Since his foremost passion is hiphop dancing, he expresses a lot with body language and he also makes a lot of sound effects. He's bubbly, goofy and scream and laughs quite a lot haha. Suga is introverted and tends to not be as openly expressive sometimes, but other members can bring it out of him, especially JHope. Maybe that's why Suga screams Jhope's name so much? They are like the perfect opposite counterparts to each other, yin and yang.
Your reactions are everything and I'm so here (on the couch, obviously...lol) for it!!
I will NEVER EVER EVER move on from this MV. Yoongi's facial expression after the "spin" is the death of me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Such a joy watching your videos, Roscoe 💜🌌🫂💜
I wached the entire video, and spend all the hour smiling, so I think I have pass the test hahaha.
I really love your reactions, becaouse you try to pick up everithing and don't pretend what you don't feel.
I don't know of you will believe this, but along the day, I couldn't stop myself from checking RUclips to watch your reaction.
Thank you so much. 💜
The beautiful prison is living with your personal shadows, your dark side. But also in this case, fame. A lot of this song is the perspective of living in "two worlds" of their real selves and their persona, or their Korean-ness and their worldwide attention.
Now you know why this was the MV that got me hooked into wanting to know their names.....and now I'm here 😁 with you!!
Jumping (very gently) onto the comfy couch. Started at Ep. 6 last night...now I'm here...and having fun! Thanks for your reactions, Roscoe. I'm a GenX ARMY and always enjoy watching authentic reactors from any generation, but GenX ARMY have a special spot in my heart.
I've only watched like 12 minutes but I know you would love the behind the scenes of this
Absolutely!
A manifesto is a public declaration of one’s beliefs and intentions. Usually a manifesto is written, as in Mein Kampf (Hitler’s Nazi ideology), or the Communist Manifesto (K. Marx). But in this case, BTS’s declaration of their philosophy is done in kinetic form (through a choreographed performance). The lyrics of ON, expresses their resilience over time and going forward (Bring the pain on). They are used to challenges. Ironically, they did not anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic that would bring the world to a stand still, including the cancellation of their MOTS 7 world tour… but out of the forced limbo, they made BE, their latest album, and their record breaking online concerts.
Jin has the silver jacket,
J-Hope is all black
V (black hair) & Jimin (silver hair) all white
Suga, Namjoon & Jungkook are in black trouser/jackets & white inner shirts (difference in their colour)…
Take note of their order (eldest to youngest) when they lined up, just before Jungkook belted his solo part: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Namjoon, Jimin, V, Jungkook.
Anyone like me, i feel that i need to call Roscoe and just answer all his questions that he came up with during the reaction 😄
About the shadow part, its based on Carl Jung's concept of persona, shadow and ego(theres also 3 solo rapline songs with the same name) which was a theme for this era. The channel dkdktv has a series of videos which breaks down a lot of their songs so you can check them out. And yes you wont survive the rapline haha. their best songs include ddaeng, outro:tear, ugh! and many many more!! Also I think knowing the members (introduction video 2021 update) will make u appreciate their art even more :D
Great info about the shadow/persona!! THANK YOU!
I think BTS' more recent imagery is almost never about haters any more. Around the Mic Drop remix, they made a point of saying goodbye to the haters and that they had simply achieved enough success that they chose to no longer be informed and driven by that narrative any longer.
"Carried myself into this beautiful prison" I think this refers to their struggles as artists; they made a choice, albeit a difficult one, so they're prepared to see it through to the end.
I love your reactions!! Your excitement is infectious! This is one of my favourite videos, everything about it pulls you in, the lyrics hit and the choreo is so lit, the Jimin effect is so real in this video, he is my bias but still.I can’t wait to see how” blood sweat and tears “ breaks your mind for the imagery in it.
Just a cute FYI. When they are in line and walk away to Jungkook singing, they are lined up according from oldest to youngest.
Nice... ty!
@@ThisRoscoe Your were doing so good with their names, lol, and then you got stuck(cutely) when you solidly identified jean jacketed vocalist Jin as "Jungkook" and then "my everything" vocalist Jungkook as Jimin😂 So cute! We see you trying hard though, don't worry, you'll get it soon! For the record, Jimin was the very first member singing and V jumped out from behind him. And like it's been said, they are lined up and peel off in age order, oldest to youngest, Jin, Suga, JHope, RM, Jimin, V, and finally Jungkook with his "my everything" solo
It's soooo good to see you going through this journey of discovery and actually experience the joy we felt through your eyes of when we first discovered BTS. We're here for the long videos, the short ones, for all of them as long as they're honest and you are one of the real ones. Now scooch over and let me find a little corner on this couch as I'm here for the ride.
Regarding the members and trying to identify them, don't stress to much... in a few videos things will just click and you'll be shocked at how you were ever confused. At 57:05, that boy in the centre is our maknae (the youngest of the group) Jungkook. Same guy with the angelic voice that sang the bridge. Jimin has the grey hair, he started the song and he's centre screen when you paused at 48:10. V has the face tattoo on this MV (48:55) and he's the one popping behind Jimin on the first verse. As for our Worldwide Handsome Jin, he's in the centre straight after the dance break (57:48). As for the rap line, you got it down! And yes...... I made sure to pull times for the end of the video to show you we really mean it when we say we'll watch it no matter how long the video is :)
Can't wait for the next one and to see you explore further into this universe. Welcome to ARMY!
JK solo is like "Angels Parting the Red Sea to set the People Free!"👏🕺🎶🎤👑🥇🏆🌎
Me too! Many army were obessed with this song when it dropped. Still oneof my all time faves too!
I've grown to love this video. Im a person who loves music but mostly listening and feeling the songs I've been that way since I was a kid I never cared about the dancing . So I had to watch this several times to appreciate it and now its right up there for me. In another performance of the song they were on a football (soccer field ), they were filming an awards show performance during covid the mama 2020 , this isn't the song but they might of used the same band though im not sure. Thanks for making room on the big comfy couch for me.
You really made a reaction that would bring you into the video itself. The feel, the mood, everything, will stirs your emotions and leaves an unforgetable mark in your viewing journey changing your visual landscape. Thanks a lot
