#firsttime
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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 💜
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💜
“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
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!
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!😅
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.
“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.
This channel is literally the embodiment of comfort, thank you for posting🫂
That means the world to me, thank you, Hye! 💜
It truly is. 💜
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"
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.
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 would recommend to watch “The Introduction to 7 members”. It’s really helpful to know each member.
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 😊💜
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) 🙏💜
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😁✨
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
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
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!💯
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
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..
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! 💜🎉🧨🎉🥳💜
It was a drone … it shows it in the making of this video…love the reaction x
This is the song that made me ARMY in 2020. It came up as a recommended video and it spoke to my soul. I have lived with chronic pain for more than 25 years, so for me, the pain is literal. I have tried to ignore it, avoid it, distract from it, but only by learning to accept that it is part of me could I start healing mentally. Being THAT friend, family member, colleague etc. that always has an issue can be humiliating. People aren't always the best and I got hurt by people around me. BTS has taught me to love myself and to take care of myself.
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!!!
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 😉
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
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.
JK solo is like "Angels Parting the Red Sea to set the People Free!"👏🕺🎶🎤👑🥇🏆🌎
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"
I love their faces in this video, all in. But I guess I love their faces all the time though. And JK hit that bridge live too. And look at Hobi looking at the camera, and Suga dancing his rear off in the front. Just all thumbs up!
“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! 😁🔥💜
Challenge accepted! I watched the entire thing. Don't underestimate ARMY! We are in this for life and we will watch! Love your videos!
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.
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'm Jin bias but wrecked by the rap line, and some days I'm wrecked by all of them... so it's totally cool to never be 100% on any of them lol
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's coming... 😁
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.
Like what V said to Band PD “Bang PDnim how can you forget me my name is only one letter V and you forget me? You didn’t identify V and Jin…V is the one with face tats. 😀
Hi Roscoe! Probably somebody's already told you this but, the girl with the savage face in the center (Love her!) Is Sienna Lalau, She's the "ON" and "Dionysus" main choreographer. Also, she went with Hobi to perform at Lollapalooza. She's a genious! This reaction was so funny to watch! Now I know you love the stomp a lot! 🤭I really thought you're going for it in any moment 🤣🤣 Borahae! 💜
@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 most important line in the song is: "Find me and I'm gonna live with you." ;)
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!!💜
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.
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've only watched like 12 minutes but I know you would love the behind the scenes of this
Absolutely!
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. 🙂
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.
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.
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
Oh I love your interpretation of the dancers/musicians/marchers dressed in black representing the rigid music industry. I never thought about it that way but it definitely works. Especially with your idea of BTS, dressed in white, being the opposite and creeping in slowly to shake things up and set a new beat in the industry (where they take the drumsticks from the drummers and use their own drums to set a new pace). K-Pop had a very specific status quo for many years and they created idols using a formula in the training programs for the most part. BTS, because of how Bang PD decided to run Big Hit and train them, steered them away from that formula and ordinarily it should have been a recipe for failure in that music industry. Companies with successful idols (especially the Big 3 at the time) had to follow certain steps to get popularity for their talent. BTS didn't have the resources to follow the status quo in the same way so yeah it makes sense to read this MV as them going their own way to change the game and succeed. Their success in the early days threatened the status quo greatly and painted a target on their back. It makes sense as a theory.
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.
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.
Theories on a choreography video? Wait until you see the MV. 😄 Every single one of them deserved their spot in the group. You will love each one as they shine at different times.
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.
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!💜
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.
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.
57:05 Thats Jungkook
When you paused the first time to guess you got the rap line and Jimin right, Jin is in the jean jacket, V has the face tattoo and Jungkook is the one that sang the high note. You will get them eventually, its ok to be confused at first!
"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.
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!
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 💜🌌🫂💜
@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, 💯. 💜
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.
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
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 😄
Whispering to you, yes hearing voices in the best way. Your explanation of the camera crew work love it. It gets me too. Understanding why brings even more appreciation. And the backup dancers so great yet BTS stands out. OT7 here, Joonie my first bias but more I saw more OT7. Each is so special in own way. React to Mikrokosmos.
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”. 💜.
You did this justice! Don’t care how long it was, loved every minute of how you processed this!
Right before PANDEMIC! They just PERFORMED IT in the LA, CA, SO-FI concert in Nov. 2021! THIS is one of my ALL-TIME FAV’s (WELL, I’ve got about 50 TOP FAVs, you are leaning why)! As I understand it the woman at the very beginning is the choreographer to this whole dance!?! ARMY will let u know for sure. You got JK, JIN & V all mixed up but you got the other FOUR RIGHT! Way to go. It’s great to hear you talk about your wife. Y’all obviously have a very sweet relationship! LOVE JOONIE! KIM NAMJOON is an ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING, PERFECT LEADER for BTS. In many videos/award shows/interviews, he’s looking around to make sure everybody’s there. He’s like a Moma, chastising his babies if they’re being EXTRA or whatever. LOVE HIM! It’s great that you immediately got STUCK ON HIM! He’s the REPRESENTATION OF THESE EXTRA-ORDINARY YOUNG MEN.
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!
Misheard lyrics (Jungkook's solo) "Michael told me in the closet. I got some chicken, I'm so sad". It's a rule. Every Army has to know this, and forevermore sing the lyrics with him. lol
Ever since I watch they misheard lyrics I can’t get this out of my head. Lol 😂
@@amberpearce710 Same! I will always sing sadly about chicken now!
There is a dance practice for ON and also a behind the scenes of this video as well.
😂 you are getting to know why we are able to sit through such long videos. Because the boys are the best of the best and there’s so much that can be derived from their music and videos that it’s fascinating to see everyone’s different interpretations. Welcome to the ARMY and we are literally like a family that love and protect each other including our wonderful boys 💜💜
the beauty is the dancers are stiff military style while bts is so fluid but is 100% power.....the combination is pure genius
By the comments I can tell you we were here for all of it and loved every minute of it. And yes sir we will look out for each other. Jimmin was the one in all white that started the MV and ended it. I know you didn't understand that we carried myself into this beautiful prison quote. Well if you put it in terms of your theory of this being about depression. Everyone puts themselves into the position they are in and sometimes we build a house around feelings find a comfy couch put it in there make blankets and pillows and we make a beautiful prision that we are in. Just giving you an idea of how it can relate to your theory but we can talk about how BTS intended it for their purposes. This song was very much about the music industry and how they have always had to get everything they earned the hard way. They are ok with that though because they have walked head on into this beautiful prison. They want the rain they want the pain because with it comes success and a path that they have created for other Korean singers and even actors to become big in the American Entertainment industry. They know how hard it is but they feel it is all worth it this beautiful prison they built for themselves, they will take the people that belittle them the people that will not give them grammies because they don't write these songs in English they will take those that have compared them to Covid (stupid #*@... guy). All of that pain they will take and they will WIN they will WIN WIN WIN. Because they know that if they waited long enough Roscoe would find them and make a big comfy couch for everyone to enjoy. 💜💜💜😁😁💜💜💜💜
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. 💜
During the final dance break, do you hear the Blue Devils cheering them on? Gives me chills!
"I'm watching this so many times y'all better get comfortable!"-----my words to every BTS video!!! We soulmates pal!!!! 💜
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. 🎶
Roscoe I love your reaction!!! I find your theory about the music industry when the boys take over the drums very interesting, Kpop is notoriously harsh with trainees & the comeback turn around is way different than the US (sometimes 2 - 3 times a year!). They are conformed to a "box", they have to look perfect, sound perfect & be single & sing the songs the company tells them to sing without their personal input (BTS broke that mold). This type of suffocation & the myriad of hate from other groups stans have led to a few members from other Kpop groups to sadly commit suicide (topic for another day).
The words "The Shadow Like Me" on V's face refers to Carl Jung's Map of the Soul theory which the album Map of the Soul 7 is based on. Can you feel yourself slipping further down the rabbit hole??? It's a bit overwhelming for new ARMY's at first, but as you sink further you learn to navigate & understand it more. I'm an older female ARMY (50yrs old ) who learned so much about myself because of these theories & the whole love yourself concept- which was alien to me, was an eye opener! Helped me analyze certain areas in my life & I was able to walk away from a potential relationship that was making me depressed.. without realizing it!! Ugh, what a close call!!
You should definitely check out the On MV: ruclips.net/video/mPVDGOVjRQ0/видео.html & also when they performed it on the Jimmy Fallon show in my city of New York at Grand Central: ruclips.net/video/MZh-w2nysuI/видео.html. Borahae, enjoy!!
I loving the theory of the dancers being the music industry Ridgid and very cookie cutter and setting the tone then sprinkles of BTS until BTS is now setting the tone
That was brilliant sir
LETS GO ROSCOE!!
Roscoe got to be the most paranoid reactor EVER! and im loving it! Wait till u get to Blood, Sweat and Tears, the OTHER ON MV! i think well have to get ready for more than 3 hours video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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!
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!!!
“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 🤣
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.
There is so many content for this song 🤣🤣 the behind the scenes, a documentary on putting this together, the dance practice, the theatrical mv , the Jimmy Fallon live version in Grand Central …..
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?💜
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. 💜
Couch is still comfy looks like a lot of us have BTS staying power. As for your comments: you noted V looking directly at the camera. In music videos they are instructed to look at the camera and that became an issue in a Run BTS segment where they were making their own mini film and had to reshoot several segments because they were looking directly into the camera. Lol. In ON Jimin is wearing white and the MJ person was JK. Your are right about the military feel, think marching band feel. The part where you see the gal and others smiling in the back on their knees they were beating the drum sticks on the ground and ( at least in the dance practice )they were shouting encouragement to the guys. It is one of the guys fondest memories of that filming. Really gave them a boost in energy. Keep them coming we aren’t going anywhere …..and if someone down the other end of the couch has some popcorn send it on down. Sharing is caring.
