#BTS #Reaction #destructivemedia - Zábava
Hello Bryan, i think you mixed up this song with "war of hormone", the one who got bts been critized about misogynistic. But i love how you still positive and give your honest reaction. You are the one best and genuine reactor.
I wish maybe you could react to "Spring Day" someday (may be when the spring comes).. and maybe react to more ot7 songs, so you could know the rest of the members. But anything will be great. I'll be waiting for your next reaction. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! Also yes, I believe I did mix up facts from my BTS Hardships reaction, sorry!
Could've been boy in love too he mixed it with, that one also got criticized for the lyrics plus that video (poor Jin apologized the the girl lol he felt so bad) 💜
It was both songs. But we all know there’s nothing misogynistic about either song. They are both amazing.
I hope you enjoyed my video! More BTS reactions are coming 💜
It's difficult to interpret this song without knowing the original (Korean) title which is "A Poem for Small Things". A good thing to do is always check to see if there is a Korean title for songs. It often reveals meaning that doesn't exist in the English title. But despite that you pretty much nailed it. The song is about trying to get back to the things that make life enjoyable when the burdens of your persona become too big. It's about getting away from the persona, back to the "small things" that exist behind the mask. So I think you are pretty spot on with your analysis. BTW, your bias wrote all the lyrics except J-hope's and Suga's bars.
The boy with the pink hair is Jimin and he is vocal king🔥🔥
I think BTS have proved you can be more than one thing. I see reactors change from 'never liking pop' to loving all BTS songs whatever the genre. I went from rock and indie to being a hardcore ARMY and now I watch and listen to BTS every day. As RM said, ' I'm not pop, I'm not rock, I'm not funk, I'm not R&B or hip hop'. He is anything he wants to be and that is now my mantra. Don't pigeonhole yourself and the world will open up to you. It's so exciting and diverse!💜
totally
Well said.
It may sound like a love song, it's actually a self love :) They're boys with love for themselves and others, not actually talking about trying to be in a romantic relationship with anyone but they just want to know about you (listener, or fan) and thanking the fans that lifted them high and helped them find love for themselves and now they want to give it back to us. You don't need to want to be in a relationship with someone to want to know how they are, what they like - a boy with love is strong like that, instead of the angsty Boy who is in love, where they fear being heart break etc.
Even though this song isn't your preferred style of music, you understand that BTS doesn't do anything without meaning. We appreciate the effort you put into the breakdown and the respect you always show. Thank you Bryan. Kudos. 😊💜
Thank you for watching! 💜
Before BTS, I wasn't able to enjoy rap songs. BTS is the first artist for me to love them entirely just as they are. Then I think of a saying, 'True love is about vulnerability...."
Yes...It's true...as for me i also didnt listen rap songs at all back then. But now I really enjoy the rap songs as well.the reason is the bts..i love them💜️💜️💜️💜️
Same for me!
Same!
I haven’t enjoyed rap since the early 90s. Too disgusting. I know I’m old, but people need uplifting music. Life is hard enough to fill your mind with rubbish. BTS has proven that you can have sick beats, awesome flows without being disgusting.
Same.
I was very curious when I saw you reacted to this song LOL.
Persona in the background is because this song is off their map of the soul: persona album. Oh, just FYI, during the mv you pointed out the 1st rapper, (bluish hair who raps, other blue hair that songs is V.) & said j hope, but that's suga. J hope is the one rapping at 8:20 💜 and, this was their song to kinda make up for their song boy in love. Boy in love and war of hormone are the ones that some people deemed sexist. You should check out some vocal line stuff. 💜
If you want to hear the vocal line really hot the power house check out dimple or the truth untold or house of cards they show off there genuine vocals it's so incredibly insane. I love how all of them sing.
I'm glad you did a lyric breakdown for this one. Yes it is one of their more poppy and bright sounding songs, but when you pay attention to the lyrics they really are very beautiful and honest, it has a nice message - I mean its BTS. I particularly like the lyrics to RM and Jhopes parts. 💜
Agreed, surface level it seems simple, but when you look deeper there is a message. BTS is great at that, simple to listen, complex to figure out.
@@DestructiveMediaYT Excellently put 💜
After realizing this one was made for the army, I grew a special love for it. Love all the song, but especially the rap line parts.
I took psychology in college and I learned we as humans have different parts of our personalities/faces. We all have EGO, Persona and the Shadow, by the way, BTS rap line did each one of them. Jhope did Ego, RM did Persona and Suga did Shadow. Persona is a mask we use towards society, is the impression we want to give people, some people called it the fake part of us, but it's not fake it's just the better part of ourselves. So my theory is that boy in Luv is the Persona BTS wants to portray to everyone. The typical good boys, boyband that do pop music, that is BTS persona but only army knows the other side of them their EGO and Shadows because we are not only looking at their pop superficial music, which is amazing; but we also listen to their other songs that talk about their true feelings.
14:45 that was V the one with the blue hair (deep voice/baritone) and to help you out with the vocalists Jimin is in the pink hair (pure tenor). Meanwhile Jin had the silver hair and jk had the brown/dark brown hair (they're tenors)
Fortunately, Boy in Luv didn´t receive negative comments (except from some antis and haters) and they keep singing the song (they sang it at 2019 MMAs). It was a well received (although in this school era many fans of other groups accused BTS of "copying" their faves, as if the school concept had been invented in Korea)
For the fanchant part, K-companies give fans official fanchants that shows what to say on which part if they want to join. So the chants sound perfect and there is no weird endless screams like in US live shows. Fans also add little inside jokes in fanchant sometimes. I hope you react ddaeng, baepsae and interlude:shadow 💕💕
Where do you go if we want to learn the different fanchants?
@@amberpearce710 you can search the "name of the song + official fanchant", is better if you consult more than one source. I heard that before BTS debut in an American award show, a big group of ARMYS did a rehearsal of the fanchant of Fake Love in a cafeteria, because it was a comeback, it was their first time performing the song. I love this fandom 💜
@@paulina-debolsillo8218 okay sweet thank you
it was such a genius move to make this song the title track of the mini album map of the soul: persona
a pop-y, refreshing, sweet song aimed toward their fans is deceptively simple if you dont have the context of their map of the soul series.
t felt so meta when the mv came out with the whole theatrical themed set pieces and bright colors.
like it was lovely and fun but knowing that shadow was soon to follow it felt like the calm before the storm lol. like "okay lets start with what we all know before getting into the rough terrain"
really think they hit the nail on the head when it comes to expressing "persona" with a song
The chant is their names, birth names
Kim Namjoon
Kim Seokjin
Min Yoongi
Jung Hoseok
Park Jimin
Kim Taehyung
Jeon Jungkook
BTS
Yes, they are really amazing live performers. And to think this choreo is one of their easiest, made more so that army can dance along with it 💜 thanks for diving into the lyrics and paying attention even it isnt your jam. And... I think you need to watch few videos to recognize them better, the vlive compilations in the link list are good ones I think, cause those focus on one person at a time, even there is others also present 🥰
Somehow I keep thinking one day you will attend a concert of theirs and you will remember being blown away by this live performance and how ARMY was so into and realize how truly amazing they are ans their fans and why they are worldwide loved 💜 lol I just realized that was the biggest run on sentence ever!!
Hey Bryan! I know you’re not a big fan of pop but I really think you should check more of the vocal line stuff. They are really good too ☺️💜
Great video Bryan, Im glad you enjoyed it.
Side note, I just caught most of your Q and A - looking forward to the content you've got lined up. 😎
I'm so happy you watched the live after the MV - as you can see they are such amazing performers live - you really gave this song the respect it deserves. 💜
Now you've heard 3 whole group songs I think you can hear how unique and different all their voices are and how they all complement each other. But all members shine very differently on each song depending on the style. I know that Mic Drop is your favourite whole group song so far, but I think you'll be surprised, I'm sure there will be more whole group songs you will add to your playlist and some vocal line too. To me whats awesome about the lives apart from their vocals/rap and dancing is their adlibs and their facial expressions, they really put everything into their performances.
Youll notice that there is often some level of attitude, cheekyness and particularly humour to their dancing and performances, both in MV's and lives - as you get to know them more, you will see that it isnt all just their performance or persona, but also part of their personalities.
Yeah Boy with Luv I have to be in a particular mood for, so tend to skip it more than others on my playlist. But to be honest even if I don't think I feel like it when it first comes on, once it starts if I let it get past the first minute or so it just gets me, I just get into it and leave it on. It's like that expression, BTS / the song 'twists my arm' 😆
Also Ive got to mention I love Jins line 'your one, your two' - I just think that's a wonderful sentiment to not just be number one to someone, but your so important your also number 2. 😊
I mean if you compare the lyrics of popular songs from other male or boy groups the lyrics just dont compare and given those groups songs dont have raps there are generally less and more repetative lyrics in their songs and usually no way near the depth of meaning. Korean songs also tend to have a more complex song structure. For the people that try to group them with other groups labelled as 'boybands' even with this song, probably their most pop sounding song, with the combination of vocals and rap, the stage presence and dancing, there is just no comparison. 👌
Did you know Halsey also has collab with SUGA? The name of the song is "SUGA's Interlude"
Hi! I have all the prod. SUGA songs in the link list 💜
Persona is a mini album release few months before the full extended album Map of the Soul, this was the MV for the main track. It is part of the BU developing Karl Jung theories. You will see a sentence mentioning Icaro wings as earlier in the BU during Blood sweat and tears MV was already tackled the same theme through one of the Pictures of Vs balcony. But it is hard to explain if you don't dip deep into the BU, sorry. Always think that BTS songs hide much more than what you see in the surface, you have to go several later down to start to connect everything. I am sure you noticed that by now 🤪
RM sings about how Army allowed them to be themselves and now they are giving back to Army..
Dude, you were wrong, the first rapper was Suga (7:38), the 2nd was Jhope with JK doing the choirs.
The vocal line really shines in songs like the truth untold & house of cards. The lyrics are really impactful as well. Definitely should check them out.
Love your honest reaction and thank you for taking time to try to understand the lyrics. As vocal line girl love that you can hear how stable their voices are while dancing. Louder than bombs is my favorite song on MOTS 7 can't wait for you to hear it.
Thx for reviewing BTS BOY WITH LOVE!
Didn’t notice a few things you mentioned cos you were talking over the performance! Haha!
Anyways, gonna watch your review of DKDKTV’s explained for this track!
"Yes, I did call them a band. Singers are an instrument."
Say it louder. Too many from the old school think it isn't real music and they're not a real band if they don't play instruments. Just because the way music is created has changed, it doesn't make modern music any less valid.
You should check "Lie" - Jimin (LIVE).
Love the reaction!
Dude you mixed up J-Hope and Suga again haha but it's ok it takes time. Thanks for the reaction
Honestly it really does. There are seven of them and I think everyone has trouble keeping track of who's who at first, especially those of us who only found them in the last few years because then we are bouncing back and forth through there extensive discography and all their eras up to now and they all change their look so much throughout that it can get confusing at times. I've been an ARMY a little over a year now and I'm finally at a point I can accurately tell who's who about 98% of the time and even then I still get some of them confused every now and then.
It actually took me a while to fully appreciate boy with love, I always enjoyed it and the choreo, but didn’t have the epiphany about the deeper meanings in the lyrics until quite recently, sadly!
Also, yes Jungkook is the main vocalist! You are right, that’s actually his official position in the group.
And just to let you know, it’s pronounced more like Hall-zee :) I do recommend Halsey’s music too if you’re interested - Manic is my favourite album of theirs.
Thank you as always, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
This is a completely poppy song with a fresh vibe, so it can bring your energy up. When you listen to this song along all the complete album you can get a letter to ARMY. It's not my favorite song but I love how it sound live.
I recommend you react to ON from Map of The Soul 7, the lyrics and vibe it's amazing, this song was out just before the pandemic in 2020 so they performed live this sing in front of people untill last November in LA, you have to check it out.
Love your reaction and breakdown. 💜💜
PD. Sorry if I messed up the comment, today my English doesn't come out well.
You did well.
I think this song is a nice little reminder of a simple kind of love, I like the come be my teacher, for example, acknowledging the exchange that needs to happen in relationships and there humility in it too.
I do agree with your interpretation that this is for army. It is part of their persona to treat army as a significant other. It’s cute and not ill-intended but it is also very much a fun act, not lie exactly but also very much outwards-facing rather than deep feelings. If you compare it to We are Bulletproof: the eternal, this is cheeky and light whereas there they go I to their actual feelings for army, which is something more real and meaningful. There’s a reason that song is played as an emotional encore at concerts.
Not to say that this song isn’t great, of course, it’s meant to be fun and it is very fun!
Fans keep saying they miss BTS old songs, but when you look at the mvs that have billions of views most are colorful. Their poppy songs seem to do better, which I still don't understand. I think Black Swan should be up there.
Agreed Black Swan is one of my favorites. It is honestly an underrated masterpiece
I think you should react their live performances more...please start with "So what" live performance.You will love it for sure💜️💜️Love your reaction 💜️
Hello, I love your reactions! Please react to the song ON & ON Kinectic Manifesto Film :)
dont worry about recognizing them now, with time and after whatching more videos it will become more easy for you. also i am excited now for you to see more music of the vocal line, even if its not your personal taste its still interesting. In case you dont know yet vocal line its V, Jimin, Jin and Jungkook (who is the main singer, as you guessed), rap line its RM, Suga and J-hope, and there is also the dance line that its J-hope, Jimin, Jungkook, and now V(he wasn't before)(they are the ones usually in the front or center of the formation so its easier to notice them)
😯😢I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, but you missed Jin 💜
@@coomacp9194 it really wasn't, tks for reminding me
@@ericasvargas no problem 😊 Hope your having a good day or night. 💜
@@coomacp9194 u too 💜
Love your reactions! Just an fyi...there was some controversy with Boy In Luv due to the seemingly harsh treatment of the girl in the video (one of the members shoving her up against the locker and pulling her by the wrist down the hall for example) and I have heard that Boy With Luv was like a redo as well. J-Hope is a sub vocalist and Jungkook is a sub rapper. So I guess they can both be considered part of each line. Jungkook is the main vocalist. He does most of the backgrounds and adlibs and is given credit on every single one of their songs. Jimin is the lead vocalist. Also, J-Hope was between Jungkook and V (V had the really blue hair) when they were all dancing in a line in the restaurant. In order in that line from l to r are... RM, V, J-Hope, Jungkook, Jimin, Suga and Jin. Hope that helps. LOL The guy with blue hair that was rapping on the keyboard...you said it was J-Hope, don't know if anyone already posted it or not but that was Suga rapping, J-Hope was the one rapping right after that.
Love your reaction
If you want to do more songs with all 7 of them in I recommend Fire and Blood Sweat and Tears that you might like. BST might need a deep dive because there's a lot in the video. Also Dionysus with the 2019 MMA Live performance...
Don't be sorry if you got em mixed up from time to time. Im sure no one here got them perfect from the get go. Thanks for a great lyric dive as always. 💜
Their live performances are amazing 👍 and K ARMY are awesome in the Fanchants 💜 but Brazilian ARMY are Brutal... you should give yourself a chance to see those concerts videos.
This song is amazing ❤❤❤💜
I would love for you to react also to Blood Sweat and Tears and Fake Love. Those are treasures to be discovered. They are more than the usual songs. So many meanings behind. You can definitely see the genius of BTS shine through. 😉
If you want amazing Vocal Line stuff - I recommend Louder than Bombs, The Truth Untold (live and recorded), and House of Cards (live).
These are deep, dark, and not at all poppy 😊😊😊
Can you plz react to V's singularity stage mix performance or his stigma live performance? Both of this performances are so cool 💜
Also Jin's epiphany and jk's my time
Hehehe I can see you worrying about getting them confused. It happened to all of us in the beginning, it’ll get easier with time 💜
This song was too pop like for me and n first listen but as with everything BTS peel back the layer to lyrics and now I really love it. As being a response to this themselves and how they approached life in Boy In Luv, off the School Luv Affair album way back in 2014, they have matured so much. Great breakdown really enjoyed this one.
Please do ddaeng...RM verse will blow your mind🥰🥰
I agree and also check out the Ddaeng explained by a Korean video. And I’m sorry if you’ve already reacted to Ugh but if not that song is also a banger by the rap line…& of course Ugh explained by a Korean video is a must. And both songs viewed live takes them to a whole other level!
You do an amazing job with your lyric breakdowns & pretty much nail it every time but some details are hard to grasp as they are more cultural references that the western culture isn’t able to catch in many cases.
You meant Halsey, not Hasley, right? 😅
It's all good lol...I saw them live in Seoul from a theater in Lincoln, NE on the 12th with my daughter...it was amazing, even tho the crowd over there was seriously restricted in their enthusiasm.
Once the camera turns on, I can't say anyone's name right lol
I noticed during editing, but I can't "redo" my videos. Sorry Halsey! (HALL-SEE)
@@DestructiveMediaYT I run a cash register for a living and am constantly getting numbers spun around LOL...I feel your pain. We luv you anyway 💖
Omg I really love your videos, reaction and insight 😍😊💜 And its ok to have a bias you dont have to be sorry and its not annoying lol. 💜
May not be your jam and that's ok. Just know that if you're in a bad place, there's a relationship or there that's good and pure... Are you're in it 🤗
From your introduction it sounds like a whole lot of fandom lore and word of mouth misinformation has entered it's way into your comment section. The song they were criticized for (misogyny) in terms of lyrics was War of Hormone and that's the accusations to which RM responded with the statement that he refers to a scholar in womans studies to examine his lyrics, quite some time before BWL came out. Not saying any is your fault or that you're spreading misinformation. Just saying that the fandom sometimes takes things out of context and I think we should always refer back to what the boys actually said in their interviews and vlives. Thanks for the reaction, this was the only point I wanted to say. I always enjoy your videos and insights!
Also, I am open to be schooled if there is anything I don't know about 🙆♀️
Thank you for commenting, it's also possible I mixed up comments about what happened when. I did a BTS Hardships reaction and I probably mixed up facts from that comment section.
Sorry if I did that!
Pls next reactions Jimin (BTS )solo song Serendipity comback trailer and live performance 😍
I think you should assemble few helpful ARMYs on discord or Patreon where they can help you through your journey down the rabbit hole, they can provide context, counsels and knowledge regarding the music, but also everything that encompass BTS, k-pop and Korea.
A few reactors do that, cause I've watched your reactions but you seem a bit lost to what the songs are about, if they are for Armys, if they are a part of the BU, so you lack a bit of direction and help to comprehend their music, which is okay but I'm sure a lot of Armys would be glad to help you. 💜
Halsey represents both the Anima and ARMY. At least 7 songs on the MOTS 7 album are written directly to ARMY.
The MV has scenes that are a direct callback to Singin' in the Rain - a poster of which appears on the Persona theater. The storyline of Singin' in the Rain was about the real singer hiding behind the curtain while the fake one lip syncs on stage. In Intro: Persona, RM's colorful coat has a patch referring to the Wizard of Oz - The Great Oz was another illusion hiding behind a curtain - and RM and his avatar stand in front of a curtain in the MV. The curtain, of course, is a metaphor for the Persona hiding the full Self.
Yeah, so, lots to unpack, but don't hesitate to call Boy With Luv "poppy". It definitely is. BTS style.
Halsey is pronounced Hall-zee
Kind of surprised you chose this particular song, to be honest. I would think they have so many other songs which you would enjoy more, although I might be mistaken.
Hi Bryan, as usual that was a great and honest reaction. This isn’t one of my favorite songs either but as with all BTS songs, I love the meaning behind it.
Please check out RM’s Do You. It’s pretty much his voice & the sound of a metronome which is so unique. I was never a fan of rap before I got into BTS & it took me a while before I moved on from the vocal line to check out the rap line material. Do You made me a rap fan & now of course I love all the rap line songs.
I know it’s hard to get into the vocal line when the rap line is so good but don’t miss out on some amazing songs by the vocal line. All 7 are truly talented individuals, their all different but complete as a whole if that make sense.
XD i think ur a legit army now hahhaa
Maybe..💜💜
Now you are starting to see the difference between BTS and other groups. With other groups (especially pop groups), the more you look at them, the worse they are. With BTS, the closer you look, the better they are.
