BTS is incomparable, 9 years still strongest, irreplaceable. Talent can’t be replaced. Only kpop artist to be nominated for Grammys not once but twice
Exacly💜💜💜💜💜💜👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Blood Sweat and Tears video and song were built and written based on Demian, a novel by Hermann Hesse which won a nobel prize in literature back in 1946. I read this book (because of this Mv) and I'll try my best to interpret and summarize the story here.
The story follows a young boy named Sinclair who had a friend named Demian. Demian acted as Sinclair's mentor during his childhood and transition to adulthood. Sinclair as a young adult experienced series of existential crisis, believing he lived in between the world of light (the world of illusion, full of goodness) and "the dark world" (the real world which was full of lust, temptation, anger and evil world).
Demian, and later on Sinclair's another mentor Pistorius, believed that in order to become a full person a human needs to embrace both of their light and dark sides. This will then lead Sinclair to find out about Abraxas, the god of light and darkness.
There are sooo many imageries and jawdropping details on the MV that represent details in the book. But the point is this song is about the loss of innocence and temptation, about being a human and embracing both of your good and dark sides.
The scene where Jin kissed the statue (which I believe the representation of Abraxas) means he seals the deal with the devil himself in order to fully embrace himself as a person who isn't perfect, full of flaws.
The white and black doors represent the world of light and the real world. Suga playing piano represents Pistorius who was an organ player in the story. The phrase that RM read in English here was also taken from the book, page 26 (on the version that I read). It says "He too was a tempter, he too was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer have anything to do."
"He" here refers to Demian, that Sinclair once thought as a bad influence for him, maybe it's because Sinclair tried to deny his dark sides.
The book is heavily influenced by a swiss philosopher and psychiatrist Carl Jung. One of his pupils was Hermann Hesse's doctor back then. This MV and song are also influenced by a german philosopher Nietzche. There's a quote by him on the wall above the painting that Jin is staring at. It is in German but it means "You must have chaos within you in order to give a birth to a dancing star". Again, the same theme occurs here, about embracing both of your light and dark sides. Only by accepting your flaws and mistakes you can reach your true potentials.
Hesse learned a lot about Jung's psychoanalysis and experienced it himself so that was why Demian was heavily influenced by it. What makes it even more interesting, BTS album MOTS 7 is also based on Carl Jung's theory (hence the songs Persona, Shadow, and Ego were born-- these 3 elements are important in Jung's theory Maps of the Soul).
BTS are deep, my friends. They talk about real things like the pain of growing up and youth's experience. They literally make a lot of armys become smarter and read on classic literature like this because of them. lol. Welcome to the fandom!
(Please note once again that this is all my own interpretation after reading the book, take it with a grain of salt.)
Well explained! I appreciate that. Sending 💜 from 🇰🇷
@@bellayoung751 감사합니다. 방탄 때문에 한국어를 배웠다💜
@@anneofgreengables66 how difficult was it for you? I'm in the process of learning
@@flovonnejohnson707 I learned to read hangul in 2 months I think. Now I can read it maybe like a first grader. lol. Can't keep up with BTS's rap line's lyrics yet.😂 Then I struggled a bit with the structure. Korean sentence structure is a complete opposite of my native language (English is not my native) and very different from English. But after a couple of months, I finally got a grasp on it. Now I'm trying to memorize as many words as possible, this is the most challenging part so far because a lot of words sound similar in my untrained ears.😁 But then again maybe it's because I only spend like 15 minutes a day to study with Duolingo. 😋 You should try Duolingo if you haven't. It's fun.
@@anneofgreengables66 ok😊 thanks for the information and advice 🤗💜
Everyone gets that moment of what the eff?!! when they first see the video. 😜 This is based on a book Damien and talks about loss of innocence and giving in to temptation as part of growing up. You very often have something of the sort in BTS music, there are layers of messages to peel. 💜 I'd like to recommend Louder Than Bombs by BTS. There is no MV but it's one of ARMY'S favourites. 💜
The production of Louder Than Bombs is amazing!
You are right, Louder than Bombs is an Army favorite. That's mine too. I'm hoping when they reconvene in 2025 or later, they will perform this song live.
Please react to their "Black Swan" music video. The concept there is being afraid of losing their passion and/or creativity for music based off the quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." - Martha Graham. 'Black Swan' has a more RnB/hiphop vibe.
bts are different from most of other "kpop idols" they contributed as producer, composer and songwriter to each and every album since their debut back in 2013, their songs are mostly abt mental health, youth, social economic injustices(like the stict school system in south korea and more), bullying, woman empowerment, friendship,self love etc.. most of their work were also inprised by past writers and thinkers just like their map of the soul:7 which incorporate psychological concept by swiss psychiatrist sir Carl Jung. they put so much details/hints into their MVs.
Bts overrated asf
@@exokings7849 troll what are you doing here🤔
@@mariamercedez9163 not a troll, just a guy spreading some facts
@@exokings7849 😂 and you say that bts are overrated while being a blackpink fan😂😂😂, wow! And I appreciate exo, and yes EXO IS UNDERRATED BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE BTS OVERRATED, BTS IS JUST PERFECTLY RATED(NEITHER OVER OR UNDER) ....
BUT BLACKPINK IS OVERRATED ASF!!!
you can have your opinions tho, bye
@@aryadhotre facts bro, if anyone disagree with you, they need a need a new brain
This MV is in reference to the book Demian by Hermann Hesse. BTS has a depth when it comes to the meaning of their songs, they do not just make music with good beat, they write and produce songs with deeper meaning. They sing, rap, dance, write, produce and play instruments. They focus on certain issues such as self love, mental health issues, women empowerment, anti bullying, racism, socio economic injustices, global warming etc. We stan this group not just because of their talent but also their personalities and message thru their music. Thanks for reacting. Can you react to "Black Swan" another mind blowing song and production.
And Fake Love.
BTS are not comparable to anyone they are something no one has reached ❤
*BTS IS A GENRE* period.
THE BIGGEST BOY GROUP IN THE WORLD, MOST AWARDED GROUP.
MOST TALENTED. BTS are all songwriters,producers and composers. RM is main songwriter.
Pdogg,Suga,SlowRabbit,BangPD are main producers.
Jhope is also a main producer and songwriter in the group.
The Rapline has 150+ credits as songwriters and producers and composers.
Other 4 members (the vocalists) have almost 20-30 song credits as songwriters, producers and composers
HAIL BTS!💜
Ofcourse we hear them.....is there someone else who don't hear The Biggest Boy Group in the world ?... 💜💜
“I got nothing for you”
😂🤣
The only correct answer to what the next reaction is must be Black Swan! BTS lyricism is top notch
This MV has enough layers of meaning to every painting, statue, even the quote in German above the mirror (a quote from Nietzsche “you must have chaos inside you to give birth to a dancing star”) plays huge significance. The statue moment is when everyone goes “what?” The choreography is really great and the music itself I think you analyzed really well.
Blood sweat and tears is part of BTS's storyline and it's interconnected with other music videos and short films so it would be hard to understand all the symbolism in the MV. The dialogue from RM is a passage from the book Damian which RM also narrates in the Wings Short Films. I would love to see a breakdown of BTS's song called Dis-ease it was produced by member J-Hope during the pandemic ^^
Demian, not Damian. Written by Herman Hesse
Another Kpop group? FYI Sorry but BTS is not just another Kpop group. Am sorry but the ARMY should be carefull in subscribing to these channels as personally I have noticed that lately some reactors who claims to be music producers or experts on their field are just now reacting to BTS or claims they have not heard of BTS. They are reacting now because they know the ARMY will subscribe and follow them and get more followers. All am saying is be think carefully before subscribing to such channels. Some just do this to increase their subs. Mic drop.
First, I'm curious why do you care if some people get more subscribers? If you don't enjoy a reaction for any reason. it's easy to avoid. I am concerned that this sounds like Army should not be generous and open minded. Plus I will never understand why so many times I hear a sharp reaction to them being called Kpop, I've heard them call themselves that a number of times, and yes, I agree they are more as well, but no need to get cranky about it.
@@nacmegfeegle2310 dude, I’ve seen a channel with 100 subs go to 2k subs just by reacting BTS all of a sudden and having thumbnails like FIRST TIME REACTING TO KPOP…
Especially this guy. He’s reacted to them 3 times before and was rude and wrong.
This may not be within your area of interest, but, if you are curious, and for others who are reading this:
A channel called "DON'T WORRY I'M NOT AFRAID" has a very good explanation of this music video titled
"Blood Sweat & Tears: What Does it All Means?"
The explanation / analysis video was uploaded 4 years ago, before theories, analysis and explanation videos became as popular as they are now. BTS was the first (I believe) to use huge story arcs in their music videos.
(The "chandelier" is the pipes of the organ).
The underlying story of this music video can be in Herman Hesse's "Demian" (1919).
OMG, you are not ready for the in-depth BTS songs! You are gonna love it! Both instrumental and lyric-wise. Maybe BTS Shadow interlude by Suga would be my pick. 😍
nice analysis. thnx for your interest in bts. welcome to the rabbit hole of bts🥰😇
"I wasn't expecting a moral guidance" - welcome to BTS' music. It's jam packed with it.
You may not expect it, but it is filled with deep lyrics, symbolism, cultural and art references, philosophical references, metaphors and easter eggs - not to mention the BU (which is storyline that runs through a lot of their MVs connected to short stories, speeches, games etc.). The BU was also present in this mv, but they made it so brilliantly that it can be understood as a separate piece and as part of the BU with two different interpretations.
This video is based a book by Herman Hesse called Demian.
You will come to learn that BTS always has a more in depth reason for everything they say or do, in their videos and music. Everything is always much more deeper than you would think. Even their seemingly lighthearted songs, if you listen to, or in my case read the lyrics, you will see the tone isn't as lighthearted as it sounds. Keep that in mind when you go down this rabbit hole. That being said, I think you would really like their Black Swan MV as well as Fake Love.💜
seeing Nietzsche and Hesse both referenced in one video was what sold me on BTS back in the day. love that nietzsche quote on the wall ''one still needs to have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star''. chaos in oneself, as in falling for that temptation the lyrics talk about is often necessary to create art. you may fall from grace but you may also create a masterpiece. anyways, love ur channel
Black Swan is my favorite comeback.
I love BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜 they r the best
BTS composed of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. Each one of them are producers and songwriters, they make their own music. And they're The Biggest Group in the World and the most active and biggest fanbase. it's okay if you just focus on the music production as it's your professional stand point.
*4 vocalists
Check out their live performances too.. there’s a lot.
I would recommend the music videos for Black Swan, Fake Love and ON at the moment. If you want to watch a epic live performance I suggest BTS 2019 MMA (melon music awards) performance (in fact any year is great but that one was soooo good). If you want to focus on the vocals I'd say watch the Tiny desk (home) performance (from 2020) and/or the BTS room live (2021).
If you want a song in English I'd say Butter, dynamite or permission to dance (they are currently their only full English songs.)
If you want to try out their Japanese songs I'd say lights, stay gold or film out.
Other MV's: Life goes on, fire, dope, run, save me, Boy with luv......and so many more.
Oh and if you want to see their first music video it's No more Dream.
You'll find the music videos on HYBE labels yt channel and most of the other songs on their BANGTANTV channel (their a lot more on that channel as well...behind the scenes, performances etc) but there are a few exceptions like some Japanese songs are on a Sony japan channel etc but I don't think you'll have any issues.
In order to understand the Blood Sweat & Tears music video well, we need to think about the hint given to us in advance, . The main character, Sinclair, struggles between the comfortable and happy world of light and the new world of darkness. In the end, you fall into temptation and you can't go back to that innocent time again. That is the theme that runs through the music video. The growth of a boy who conflicts in the world of light and darkness. And each of the BTS members is in charge of good and evil (or Sinclair and Damian), and how they react when a boy encounters evil and temptation as he grows up. Resistance to temptation, resignation, and a sweet fall in temptation.
I just saw your video about jin, and i scrolling on your video about bts
And here i am 😂
Wow this is interesting, thanks for doing this one ! This is a bit hard to understand story-wise (Beaucoup explanations available) but is great showcase for one of their the music styles. Don't worry about following the plots at first, there are almost always complex layers in their songs. The lyrics are why I first got hooked on them, (well MAYBE their dancing, good personalities too) but I will love to hear what you say about the musical aspects, and man there are a LOT of genres in their discography. Don't worry about pausing, rewinding, etc; we love longer videos from good reactors. Will watch for you!
Edit added: I'd like to suggest Mic Drop (Steve Aoiki remix), and Daechwita which has a lot of Korean music influence. Thanks!
Love this Song ❤💜💜
Loving this. Yup theres more. I’m sure ARMY will list down and also pls react to their IDOL,Fake Love and ON Kinetic Manifesto, wanna hear your thoughts as well. Thank you for reacting to BTS.
Bts are awesome dancers too! Thank you for the appreciation!
All their songs have deep meanings!
Their music maks U wanna dance, positive & happy💜, next U start to think, after that U become more Cultured & educated, then U get inspired & motivated😍. Finally they change your life 4 good🥺💜. U could react to lots of their songs that so different musically💜. Black swan, on, film out, DNA, Idol, piad piper, luoder than bombs, home, & alot more they're so different.💜
Hola nueva suscriptora mamá Army colombiana 35 años .
BTS siempre trata de dejar un mensaje profundo en sus canciones y sus álbumes conceptuales , espero que pronto reacciones a más de sus canciones puedes empezar por las canciones más antiguas y alternar con una de las últimas . Importante leer las letras más no son lo que parecen , bendiciones para ti y tu canal 💜
HEYY you should react to black swan, it's deep in lyrics, artistic and its a bop!! Its from 2020 so it's more recent than what u have been reacting of bts
bts tells a story thru diff aspects of music and arts. 💜 here for your thoughts! thanks!
If you like a latino type music you probably need to look into their song "Airplane Pt2" so so so good! Btw geat reaction 💜
I recommend Fake Love and Spring Day by BTS
They've over 300 songs with quality production which they also participated in both composing, production and +++
You cannot get a taste of them just by listening to a few title tracks. It's a rabbit hole. So, i hope u have a chance to actually check their discography through live performances and documentary to understand why they're the biggest of the biggest act rn. Thank u for yr reaction ❣️
The whole Bangtan Universe is a story
Well i.love watching you
What a guy
Good reaction
Love you
Amazing x
Their music is deep bro. They made you explore more
thank you for the analysis! It is so interesting to see how professionals in certain fields explain things which you have never noticed as a casual listener/watcher. Could you do an analysis of another kpop group called Stray Kids? For example of their most recent title track called Maniac.
that's bts the biggest boy band on planet earth...expect the unexpected always! 💜💜💜
Hey Mattie, at the beginning of this song you mentioned that there was a lot going on in terms of “ear candy”. That brought to mind their song “Spring Day”, which to me, has a bit too much “ear candy” at times, so much so that I find it overwhelming. (Love the song, but some parts do feel like that to me.)
Would you consider reacting to that song?
Thanks for the suggestion Naomi! I'll check it out!
💜💜
The concept behind this MV is based on the book "Demian" by Herman Hesse. The statue is "Abraxas". The theme of the video is the loss of innocence and the fall to temptation. Jin kissing Abraxas is his acceptance of his darker side.
6:41 it's not CGI. They don't use green screen. He is really swinging in a rope. He also did it in a live performance of this song.😂😂💜💜
Hello. You could react to Fake love which is as « rich » as this vidéo😉
You should definitely listen to ON, Black Swan, Ddaeng, Pied Piper, Outro:Tear and Dionysus !
Only three minutes in and already thoroughly enjoying your insightful commentary! Thanks for the video!
Wait, just finished your commentary and wish I could thumbs up multiple times. You're a delight to listen to! Learned some things, too. Subscribing. :)
Please react to their inspiring underdog story "BTS From Nobodies to Legends 2019"
when your phone went off, i thought it was my work calling cuz im on call. i almost cried lol 😭 anyway...bts💜
If you're wondering ... Jimin wrote the melody for this song.
you should react to lie by jimin
Please do more reaction videos on BTS 💜💜💜💜
am I the only one who is surprised that he hung up on his dad???
Black Swan
Please react to their Film Out Mv...
man you really got to react to stranger by dimash its insanely good.
The statue is the god Abraxas
Based on the book Demian by Herman Hesse
Hello there, try Black Swan by BTS & prepare yourself for a theatrical performance.
“I had a hard time following the plot of this music video,” said every Army the first time watching. It’s a part of the Bangtan Universe which is a fictional storyline that is woven throughout albums, MVs, short films, Webtoons, notes, etc. It’s long and complicated and hopefully not over yet. This album (Wings) is almost entirely BU content. So, most casual listeners or new Armies don’t get it. The BU is amazing and if you’re ready for a deep, deep dive, you should hop in.
i heard the genre is similar to moombahton :D
Please react to 👑 Jackson Wang's BLOW, it's epic! 💯🔥
You missed the end of the video. Try to be careful their videos are pretty symbolic
REACT TO BTS BLACK SWAN MV PLEASE 🙏💜
Not a chandelier ...It is the Organ pipes
Your dad's gonna be so mad at you when he sees this.
I recommend you to check out their song "Pied Piper" (no Music Video), I heard some other CZcamsr say, that this song is very interesting in it's music production and that it has two main themes (idk what that means tho.. lol).. czcams.com/video/VtvloSr6uC8/video.html
and also "ON - Kinetic Manifesto" (Music Video)
Hi. Could you react CL "SPICY" and "Lover like me"? She is a famous K-pop singer and recently performed in Coachella 2022
Fun fact ...not a real Museum...Way too many windows..The design team built the whole thing
I like your reaction videos, I just subscribed. Have you react to TXT and ATEEZ? I really recommend to check them out if you have'nt yet
TXT - 0X1=LOVESONG
TXT - Can't You See Me
ATEEZ - Wonderland
ATEEZ - De Javu
I hope you checkout my recommendation 🙌🏻
Binoculars? They are called opera glasses. I've watched four of your reactions today. I am underwhelmed. You get too many things wrong and I dont have the time or will to educate you. Out.
ابك رد علو ابوك😭
R u really music producer?mmmmm🤔🤔🤔
Can u react to Stray Kids - God’s Menu? There music is so diferent and mind blowing!!!
You should check out daechwita it’s another song by suga (agust d). He produced it too.
i would love to see you react to Sticker by NCT 127, it's such a unique song id love to hear your unbias opinion.
yeah it's okay though because to understand this music video, your gonna have to look at they're older music videos and short films. their is a cohesive story running through some of their music videos starting from their album, The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Pt.1 to their Wings album. not only is their music videos but their is short films, webtoons, short stories and a mobile game. its a big rabbit hole that a lot of armies know about but haven't explored it yet. but if you want to start exploring it, i recommend watching their music videos and short films first, of course under the name of bighit and if you want to figure out if a music video is part of the BTS Universe (BU) just go to the description of the music video and it will say "BU content certified by Big Hit Entertainment"
