0:00 INTRODUCTION
0:45 REACTION
4:55 ANALYSIS
16:06 CONCLUSION - Zábava
Jimin was the best student in his contemporary dance school
As promotion for Black Swan they released an actual art film of it. It's another arrangement and performed by a comtemporary dance company. It's amazing.
Black Swan is based on a quote by famous choreographer Martha Graham: "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing and this first death is the most painful one." So you're spot on with the fear of losing their passion for music.
Black Swan pre-dates Dynamite by half a year but yes, it deserves so much more recognition than it's gotten.
This is the best analysis of Black Swan I have seen. You are SPOT ON ! It's wonderful to see someone fully appreciate the complexity of BTS's work!
Your reaction when you watched it for the first time was mine also! I’m 38 and have loved boy bands since the 90s and when I decided to click Butter I was blown away! BTS is like no other! They are in a league all there own, and I’m not just talking about compared to other boy bands, I’m saying they are just artist all there own! There is no one doing it like them! They are absolutely incredible! I am absolutely hooked! They are amazing humans and there work ethic is mind blowing!
Hi. I will be 38 in September. And I'm ARMY from 2018 Fake Love era. I was huge BSB and then JT fan. But I've never been so obsessed like I'm over BTS. They are ARTISTS. Great dancers,vocalists,rappers, lyricists and producers. They are great people. I wish everyone finds in them more than just a pretty faces. BTS helping and healing with their music and content.
yes. I am 39yo. Love them since May 2019.
Black swan is the most underrated piece of art BTS has ever done. Thanks for your analysis, I really enjoyed it!
Jimin is #1 best Kpop male idol dancer from 3 years. His dancing is extra ordinary. The emotions that he transcends into his dancing is so mesmerizing. 💫
I m so proud of our boys. Everytime I see reactions of non kpop music listeners I can't stop tearing. How people got shocked everytime they hear their music. Nothing but proud. And happy I met them 3 years ago and have a chance to injoy BTS's 💜 magic. They really do magic
There's a behind the scenes/making film of the BS m/v... a lot more of Jimin! You'll enjoy it whether you film a reaction or not!💜
1000% yes and I’d watch a MV and the dance practice for that video so you are about see all of the choreography. 💜💜💜
Thank you for the reaction! Thank you for appreciating Jimin!
The shadow on the wall was Jimin.
Jimin is such an exceptional dancer. Between the shadow dancing and the solo dancing.
He is such a versatile dancer and excels in ever genre. Combine that with his ability to show expression and portray it in his facial expressions and dance is so rare. He is such a special dancer. A special singer too.
*watcH JIMN SOLo BLACKSWAN BEHIND THE SCENE*
The entire MOTS7 album was a masterpiece and deserved Grammy nomination
RM IS THE MAIN SONGWRITER AND COMPOSER OF THIS MASTERPIECE
Yes, you are right I can watch JIMIN dancing the whole day as well🥰
I love how you look so concentrated and shocked because I was exactly the same when I first saw this, like "how there's people doing THIS kind of music and I didn't know it before????"
Oh my goodness, I love your reactions! The depth, the knowledge, the appreciation and descriptions of all aspects of the music video are both enlightening and so much fun! Thank you!! 💜
12:55 Yes! You grasped the themes entirely. As others have pointed out, this mv was actually preceded by an, "art film," with a different arrangement of the music danced by a contemporary dance company. My suggestion would be to watch that video next, then watch, "Interlude: Shadow," from the same album, which also explores these themes.
You're doing a fantastic job of analysing BTS' music thematically & aesthetically on your own, but if you do want some further background, keep the name of the album series in mind: "Map of The Soul." "Jung's Map Of The Soul," is a book by Murray Steiner that explains/explores Jungian psychanalytic model, with a particular focus on persona, shadow & ego.
On and Black Swan are both on the same album, which explores the Shadow in Jungian psychology, so you are very right about the shared themes. And also about the use of mirrors. On point.
Don’t you just love listening to songs that actually means something?
U have to watch their live performance for this... It's so lit....💜💜💜
Hi I am back. Good reaction, ty. I love ur deep dives. Not only do they use Black Swan the movie in this but they use a philosophers idea of accepting ur shadow self to be whole. In ON u see some with white fits they are innocent. Those with black accepted temptation. And those with both are becoming whole. This one has beautiful deep meaning of their lyrics. As you notice like lines " It would be my first death. That's what I'm afraid of ." It has that emotional theme of an artist fear for losing their passion for what they do. With this song BTS dives deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden. The song lends voice to their fears that one day music will no longer be able to move or touch them. The very moment they come face to face with the ‘Black Swan’ within themselves, however, they are stricken with a paradoxical realization that music is all they have. It is a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself. It's also inspired from Martha Graham, who said “A dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” Now with the band on a break from group work and focusing more on solo projects (solo albums). We know this was also a hint to us that they were struggling. They could not write songs anymore. They were in pain and scared. Stay safe. - 2019 ARMY NY USA 💜

Black Swan ballet: changing from white to black swan - growing up, losing innocence.
Black Swan movie - sacrificing mental and physical health to reach the top.
Shadow/mirror images - self reflection.
Black Swan: Mainly written by RM, the one you like, is about their fears of losing all passion for music, either writing it or performing on stage. It's also based on a quote by Martha Graham who was an important figure in the world of modern dance, "A dancer dies twice. Once when they stop dancing and this death is more painful." They've been doing this for a long time now and for some of them it's all they've ever done from a young age but realized music is their life.

Fun fact: Before BTS began doing it, it wasn't normal at all for Korean idol groups to release songs with deeper meanings, discuss serious topics in their songs, acknowledge issues of vulnerability like burnout, depression or mental illness. It wasn't normal for idols to open up about their personal troubles at all. In fact, doing so got some idols thrown out of their companies. It was also not normal or common to have a running storyline/theme that is carried through multiple albums and/or MVs and songs. But BTS did it all so successfully, and broke those stigmas, to the point that now many other Korean idol groups have started trying to do those things, with varying degrees of sincerity and success.
This song, its lyrics and MV are part of the "Shadow" portion of BTS's Map of the Soul era, in which they released albums and songs based on Carl Jung's theories regarding the Persona, Shadow, and Ego. This track is an exploration of their "shadow" selves' fear that they may someday lose their passion for their art - they ask if perhaps they are already losing it- and they wonder what comes after that "first death" of the loss of passion. In the end, they continue to fight for their passion and their art, claiming they won't be swept away by these fears again. I would encourage you to think about how counter-cultural BTS is being in songs like this: Not only are they dealing with topics that were taboo only a few years ago, but they're being unbelievably personally vulnerable, sincere and open. This is why we love them so much, and I'm sure you will, too! 💜
Example: A couple of weeks ago Jimmy Fallon had BTS on his late night show. They performed a song called Idol at This Idol performance at Gyeongbokgung Palace as a background and wearing hanboks. There are so many amazing location Rich with Ancient history. Here is a link to the idol performance, so you can see the background visual of the palace. czcams.com/video/MXFkjMNXfpY/video.html

The string instrument used is the Gayageum, a Korean zither.
Jin visual and vocals oh my god
The Silver Voice in the world
and the official visual of BTS
Yes!
black swan is one of my favorite songs! Its so good! I knew you would love this one :)
Wiki confirms that they did incorporate the "traditional, 12-stringed Korean instrument, the gayageum." Good catch.
"I can watch Jimin dancing all day"
Sis, I can watch Jimin all day no matter what he will be doing 😂💜🥰
i just realized right now that maybe they also got inspired by Jungkook's life motto:
"I'd rather die that to live without passion"
You need to watch their live performance of this❣️JIMIN SHINES LIKE A DIAMOND❣️
Jimin studied contemporary dance before join the group :)
And J-hope had a street dance group before join BTS.
Oooooh~ I wish you'd react to their Black Swan performances for Jimmy Fallon and James Corden show 💕
You'll LOVE it. You'll enjoy the choreo more and the artistic aesthetic of their performance. A deeper and more elegant BTS right?!
They are truly the kings of K-Pop. They are good at all kinds of dancing and singing 💜🫀💜
Gabbsi, thnx for your reaction. Love it so much and glad to hear again w/ you.
Their album Map of the Soul: 7, from which both Black Swan and ON were drawn, was a milestone album for them where they looked back on their careers and ahead to the future. Sadly, the accompanying, highly anticipated tour never happened: it was canceled, date by date, as the world shut down for Covid 19. The single Dynamite, their first group song wholly in English, was created in the midst of their own pain.to bring joy to a suffering world. Eventually they put it into their healing quarantine album BE.
The Map of the Soul series revolves around Carl Jung’s concepts of self. The persona is who we show the world. The shadow is the part of ourselves that is our fears and doubts. The ego is our conscious self. Our hopes and dreams. This is a part of the shadow concept. Fearing the time when our passion no longer excites us. To BTS that is music. Yes, On is also a part of the shadow concept.
Yeeees!!!you're here finally!! I've been waiting for your reaction. forever love you and love hearing your thoughts💜 Hope you react to the live performances soon.
I could watch Jimin dance all my lifeeeeeee
I Love black swan. It's one of my favorites 💜
Thank you for this reaction
I am so grateful for your reactions! You express your feelings with your whole body and your insightful comments are so valuable. Thank you! 🙏💜
SORRY IF I'M TO CLINGY BUT I LOVE BTS AND I JJUST WANT PEOPLE TO SEE HOW MUCH TALENT THEY HAVE
So Gabbsi 👉🏻👈🏻 could you also react to some of their singles ?☺️
i recommend :
"Singularity" (live performance) or "Sweet night" by V
"Filter" (live performance) by Jimin
When we see and acknowledge our dark side (the weak, depressed, wanting to give up side of ourselves) we are then able to know our true selves and work to make our selves stronger. This then gives way to our dark side subsiding and frees us to be who we really our in the light of day.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Don't worry about don't feeling that Dynamite was as much artistic as this songs, we all know that it was more for the US market, so it's ok. I'm glad that you keep going and finding the art that BTS has. I would love for you to react to any albums, if you could do from the beginning of their albums that would be great, but if not, anyone is fine. Thank you for pay attention to everything, and i hope that you are enjoying. Love you
Loved the Harry Potter reference btw, such a nice way to explain the point.
Also, if you like Jimin's dancing you should react to some of his solo work, the live performances are amazing
Please check out and its explanation video!!
Black Swan was my introduction to BTS around May 2021. I loved it so much and still do! It's totally underrated in my opinion. Now, I've gone way down the rabbit hole. Also love DNA, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, ON, and so many more. Great analysis! Thank you so much!
It's like you seeing in the theatre
Digging into the English translation of the lyrics, the song is all about BTS' love for all things art and music, but it delves into the fear that comes with possibly losing your passion for art. But in the end, the boys realize that art is all they have.
I watched tons of reactions with BTS again and again....and watching you react , I learned tons from you when it comes to art. And watching your reactions i kinda relate 😀becoz we have the same thoughts expression etc... i mean how does a group can make such a concept, lyrics, visual everything. That's why I love them so much which at my age I didn't expect.
First time watching your channel. If your style is to watch a m/v first with no comments and then play it a second time with reaction, I love it. I enjoy first watching the video together, without interruption, and then analyzing it the second time through. I've read others comment to you, so I know they have already filled you in on a lot of the details Black Swan. No need for me to repeat, so I'll just limit my comment to how much I loved your style and how impressed with your analysis I am. Great job. It's my pleasure to subscribe to your channel and follow you. Would enjoy hearing your reaction to Moonbyul's SHUTDOWN m/v.
really loving your bts analysis videos! you were spot on here! they released this because they wanted to explore the feelings they would have if they potentially lost their passion for music one day, hoping that moment never comes because it would be their "first death". I would love to see your reaction to the BTS Universe soon! The "BU" is a fictional storyline that runs through many of their music videos (ex. BST is a part of the BU). The first part of the story starts with I NEED U, On Stage: Prologue, and RUN. if you do start the BU, just know that the lyrics to the songs in the BU aren't really relevant to the story since its the visuals and the video that showcase the story.
you are speechless i know they are legend i love your reaction you should react to them more and more :)
Dynamite broke through the barriers they were facing in the US. It's unfortunate that they had to release an all English song to do that, but it is what it is. I firmly believe that, had Black Swan been released after this barrier was torn down, Black Swan would have received the Grammy nomination, and possibly won. I look forward to what comes next, so they can show the world what amazing ARTISTS they are. It's a slow climb, but the whole world can't deny them forever, not even us Americans.
oh my god, I love your videos so much. I'm a literature student and an army. Your videos helped me learn so much, in a way that i actually enjoy and love!
This is by far the best reaction to Black Swan that I've watched, your way of interpretation is amazing!
Also, i don't know if someone already said this but you have got to watch the MMA 2020 performance of this song, it's a dance performance (without the singing) and it's so beautiful, I think you would love it
girl you need to do spring day 😩 and maybe the explanation video also if you could, the song (or specifically the video) is about the sewol ferry tragedy, hence why i suggest you watch the explanation video cause you won't be able to fully analyze it yourself without knowing about the tragedy, also fun fact: that song is still on the korean charts LITERALLY 4/5 YEARS LATER! can't wait till you get to that masterpiece and also make sure to prepare your tissues 😩
This is the 2nd video I've seen of yours and I love you so far! I have to tell you though that you totally look like Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox! I thought she was doing reactions for a sec lol can't wait to watch more 💜
Please react to BTS Louder than Bombs lyric video
Black Swan will always be a masterpiece. I just think it deserves every award that existed out there. About Jhope's part, my take on it is that, dont force me to stop doing things im passionate about, let me go, my me carry my own feet, its like there's this dark'ness/shadow that always makes them feel like they are starting to lose focus/ losing purpose, that tells them this is not your purpose anymore, but jhope/bts still wanna fight for it, like 'let me still keep going, i know one day i'll reach to a point where i have to stop doing these' and something like 'i can see myself sometime in the future, where i will stop doing music, doing what im so passionate about like right now'. Jhope's anfd Suga's part supporting each other; "i saw myself" meaning yes, i can see myself someday losing passions, its a scary thing to imagine losing something so precious for you at the moment. But as artists thats how they felt. No other song ever made me had such a deep appreciation and respects for artists out there who really tries to bring values to arts. I love arts myself, arts itself is such a huge topic; art is everywhere and in everything. i've come to a point i actually cried to this song, something just moved me about how amazing these guys are in expressing ideas/ issues like this.
You are right, consuming BTS's music and contents are head-cracking. some say bts makes music for the intelligents bcs of how indepth the spectrum of their music are. they do every genre, lyricism are top-tier, A TRUE ARTISTS who brings so much value to their arts and performance. BTS will be legends in the future, will always be remembered for their work and masterpieces.
You sould see the live performance of this song in their concert.
It's amazing.
Es espectacular ver bailar a los chicos que son tan talentosos y jimin hermoso
Pleace reaction bts run&i need you
Shadow is Jimin 💜💜💜
Jimin was the shadow behind Yoongi in Blackswan and Hobi was the shadow in RM'S part
Jimin also the shadow behind JK at the ending.
Before "Black Swan", Suga released a solo "Shadow"
2:05 yeah, that was me too
Just wanna say I love your nails as much as I love your reaction 🥰💕💜
I love your comments!!
Gabbs irdk how u have the strength to avoid listening to other BTS songs before filming a reaction xD so much respect 😭👏👏👏
I don’t know😭 It feels like watching a tv show and instead of binge watching you have to wait one week for an episode
Please react to creography BLACKSWAN
Please check out map of the soul 7, both black swan and on are part of this album and you will see the evolution of the theme
Please react to black swan behind the scenes
You could also react to FIRE or DOPE!!!!!
they are from 4-5 years ago but still, they are BRUTAL
the shadow is very prominent theme of Map Of The Soul 7 album, Black Swan included
we see a lot of shadows behind the boy, many of them are from projectors that light up the stage. the more light falls, the bigger shadow gets, right?
now the shadow is connected to the card jung psychology, it's whatever we don't what to know and show about ourselves, suppressed content of the unconscious mind. so it can be fears, doubts, insecurities, etc
I almost felt you were goi v to tear up and the live performances of this give me serious goosebumps. One of the most beautiful pieces of art/music they’ve made that got me hooked on them deeply. The aesthetics of this the outfits, barefoot choreography, yet the rap and discussion of losing their passion for music/art. In the lives they’ve changed it up from a short version with stunning backgrounds, to longer classical arrangement performance on water with full ballet like lifts, to the most recent live version in LA they’ve challenged us changing it up so often. Appreciate your enthusiastic reaction.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Legends 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
pls can u react to bts Go-Go live and dance practice? it is so nice
Finally 😍👏🏻
All the background dances as well as most of the shadows were done by Jimin because he is a graduate in contemporary dance ^^
My boyss💜💜💜💜
우리탄이들 블랙스완 영상은 늘 어메이징이네요~^^
Jimin the Black Swan Kingggg
Suga's shadow is Jimin

Black Swan is an idiom. The song was wtitten at the begining of the pandemic.
Black swan is in the same album as ON i think.
If you haven't reacted to it then try Lie by Park Jimin BTS. If you listen to it you will know why. For the dance part - tjek the live version 😉
ok non avevo capito, però tu hai fatto una bella reazione e ti credo, la coreografia mi piace quindi 👍
