autotune being used stylistically is chef's kiss
agree
The tattoo poem is German, called I Live My Life In Widening Circles by Rilke. Here's the English translation:
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
I am so happy for Jimin (and all of them) getting to do what they want. I realized at last year's FESTA Dinner how affected Jimin had been by the whole situation...just his emotions that day. This really feels like he is breaking loose of it all.
I think the dancers pointing at him represent those who would hold him back/mock him/haters.
And, yes, it's Jimmy Fallon.
I recommend anyone interested to read the whole poem, it's just beautiful. I read it for high-school 30 years ago and I still have some of the Spanish versions of the verses stuck on my memory
Possibly my favorite enlistment era song so far. Jimin went so hard against expectations, so far away from his old persona, so different from what his solos wanted from him. He made a lot of them mad and I LOVE THAT. As for the visual artistic choices: Another much smarter ARMY than me noticed that the set resembles a panopticon. A panopticon is a theoretical circular prison where the guard tower sits in the middle. Prisoners cannot see inside the tower, so they do not know when they are being watched. They must behave as if they are always being watched. Kind of like what life might be like as a member of BTS.
The part of the choreo where the backup dancers are in three rows: An ARMY (not me) commented that the first row are wild, on their knees flailing around. The second row are standing a bit taller, yet still struggling. The back row are fully upright and steady, strong, in control. An interesting progression.
Jimin is the star ever my baias beauteful thenks this song is epic
Amazing jimin my king 💜😍💜💜😍👑
It's just Jimin, no one else
I agree with you in thinking the song is mostly expressing his internal struggles/thoughts to free himself from...though there are definitely people in the industry and public who deserve some of those f bombs too. I love him saying no matter what is said or being mocked will stop him from being himself! Such a powerful song and message!
I think you're right that it's an internal fight, because Jimin said in an interview that only he could free himself
I've watched SO many reactions to this song and I see a new side/interpreation every time! Everyone notices something different and it's amazing! Just shows that the song and the video are truly art
The song is no.1 in 110 countries it happened in hours he is the first artist to achieve this so quickly. He basically found himself and freed himself. He doesn't care what haters say or anyone else
for that matter The first thing is I think people need to stop doing is calleing them boys they are grown men. Way past the boy stage. They are showing us all who they are as their own people
not as bts but in their own right. Bts have far surpassed kpop.
Our Jimin has made a statement. FO and leave him the Heck alone. He has endured so much since becoming a trainee. More than we even have heard of or know, including death threats. I can’t even imagine the mental anguish he has endured. He has taken a page out of Hobi’s book and set himself free from the past and the box he was pigeonholed in. This song/MV being the pre-release was very intentional. Don’t think we know what else is coming our way. This album will be 100% the Real Jimin. 👏👏 About dang time!!! It is good to see our Jimin-ah taking charge and freeing himself. 💜 I hope the past is behind him and his future is what he makes it.
I think this is directed inward. He used to be weighed down by trying to be manly enough, good enough, worrying about what others thought and was crazy hard on himself. So happy that he’s at peace and comfortable with who he is. He’s such a beautiful artist. 💜
yes
He acknowledges the shadows within him but he’s in control of them now.. and he is breaking free.
you could be right about it being towards himself. he has said something like that in an interview -that no matter the complaining or the people outside, the one who had to set him free at the end was himself. im so proud of my butterfly🦋
I think the dancers in black could represent the doubts, fears and lack of confidence that he suffered at the start. And the autotune voice represents that angry, frustrated inner voice.
I love this song 😭
oh yeah
I know I'm repetitive when I comment this under your reactions, but it's just not enough to convey how much I'm poud of these boys 😭😭 Not only was he able to finally release his own solo music officially, but the lyrics of this song is so ☹️
"Raise your hands for the past me. Now set me free." these lines are specifically it for me. It's very remimiscent of Joon's No. 2 from Indigo when he said "You did your best back then, so there's looking back anymore". It's not as if Jimin's forgetting or erasing his past and starting anew, but rather he embraces it. And it is with this that he was able to set his true self free, like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. And knowing Jimin's past struggles, to hear him sing these lines, you just can't help but be proud of him. I can't wait to see him grow more with his own craft, my beautiful butterfly 😭💜
And there's so much more to say like this is insaneeee. From the visuals, the setting, the German poem on his body, how Jimin confirmed that it's the continuation of Agust D's Set Me Free, it's connection to ON, etc. There's a lot on Twitter, I love reading the interpretations there.
Jimin is an amazing artist,a complet package,powerful presence he killed it 🔥
Opps is slang for opposition. It's a term used in a lot of hip hop also
I don't know what his live performance stage outfit would be but we've all seen shirtless Jimin before so it wouldn't be the first time.
Love the song and love you reactions!
If this is his stage outfit we will die babes xxx
Outside of cameras and when he slips, he swears and tells sex jokes etc, you know he and Hobi are besties and we all know through vlives and BTS talking that he's not wearing clothes when they just relax in hotel rooms and home.
He is super sweet and cute but he is also a person with lots of attitude and badassness and sass and BTS has said that him and Hobi is scariest when angry, so this feels like him, one side of him. But some seem to wanna box him in as only sweet cutie, same some wanna make it as his masc image in early BTS is him and not him as soft and the more fem side of him.
I wish they could just let him be all he is and stop making it like he are only allowed to be one thing.
Edit: actually I feel this has many sides of him in it, both the more aggressive badass side and the softer but strong angel vocals.
He is cutie, sexy, lovely and badass all in one.
Jimin is just human. Army makes fun of jimins solo fans but they are the only ones who seem to take him seriously. Who predicted that jimin may rap, who acknowledges jimins various sides. Army just never cared to acknowledge jimin past his cuteness.
@@danellymani205 well I'm definitely not a solo, not at all, I'm OT7 ARMY and other Armys I follow on twt etc. are too but we acknowledge his various sides and know him well, support him fully and take him very serious.
And people who don't know and acknowledge and support all 7 members for all they are aren't real Armys.
@@danellymani205 it's not true... Most of Armys knows him as well as he and Hybe permitted... of course there are those that want to see just the side they idolize.. that's absolutely wrong and unfair, not just to Jimin but all seven.
(Who doesn't helps RM, e.i, just because of his swearing.)
I love all of them, as human beings, not idols... this is to be an Army! In other case, it's just a fan.
Jimin looks and sounds absolutely amazing✨
Thank you💜
It's remild me of Jimin is such a butterfly warm in tree circle life , waiting to fly out of the tree when it's time coming 😊
This is epic! A masterpiece! Fire! 🔥
Can’t wait for the album. Jimin shirtless… Sir. 😁💜
Proud of our Jimin.😊
Austin you should go to DG Reacts he not only does a deep explanation on the dance practice but the song, very interesting things even i missed
Sienna from The Lab (the group of dancers Who danced backup for BTS in the PTD LA and Vegas concerts, as well as in the ON Kinetic Manifesto MV) did the choreography for Set Me Free Pt. 2. Recap, she also did the choreo for ON, Dionysus, and collabed for Run BTS. It’s probably why we’re all getting ON vibes with the formations.😊
The chest painting is the Rainer Marie Rilke poem “I live my life in ever widening circles written in 1899
Here’s a translation…
I live my life in ever-widening circles...
I live my life in ever-widening circles
that stretch themselves out over all the things.
I won't, perhaps, complete the last one,
but I intend on trying.
I circle around God, around the ancient tower,
and I circle for thousands of years;
and I don't know, yet: am I a falcon, a storm,
or a mighty song.
There are callbacks to the frequent butterfly metaphor and the lyrics of on …. Gotta go insane to stay sane…. And of course it is a part 2 because of yoongi’s set me free on D2…….
The spiral shape the dancers make is in reference to The golden spiral which is a pattern created based on the concept of the golden ratio-a universal law that represents the “ideal” in all forms of life and matter. In fact, it’s often cited as an example of the connection between the laws of mathematics and the structure of living things.
I love your reaction n I agree with you I also think hes talking to himself
Thank you. Always love your reaction. This is a magnificent solo debut perf by Jimin.
My brain is still processing what I saw yesterday XD
I didn't see anything until the premiere of the video so the shock was tremendous.
Same! Took my breath away. It was actually what I was hoping for, but it still blew my mind 😂
@@evantesseract737 💜💜💜
Exactly he is fighting himself, his inner self and try to set himself free by himself because he is the one to set himself free no one else. He never disappointed me 💜
I also feel this is his own self-dialogue…self-talk.
I streamed the hell out off this song and it gets better with each listen, i love it so much! We are not going to survive the album! Just a suggestion, you could react to previous interviews with Jimmy Fallon, those two (Jimmy and Jimmin) have history😂
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Great MV. Jimin ult here, Suga wrecker OT7. The vocals, wow. The visuals, i had shivers. Powerful for sure. This was 100% new. 0.0 I am like stunned. Shoock really. Go Jimin!!! No one but Anitra @saywhatreacts and Rosan @xCeleste has mentioned he used some aspects of Lie choreo in his new song. And ON vibes for sure. ON inspo. Heard this was the last song in the album. Like dang! 0.0 So glad u loved it. =0} So much symbolism too. So deep. I need a dance practice! Oh my gosh. Some choreo was from a Jackson Wang song called Blow. The more i watch the more i find things i did not notice on the 1st watch. The body tat German poem is beautiful and very fitting. Heard Sienna Lalau worked on this choreo. Not sure if she created alone or with a team though. UCLA choir was used again. They use them all the time on songs. The spiral/ the golden ratio, shell, 9, metaphors used as usual. I understand it as opportunists(opps). This very well be talking to himself. He has songs like that already. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

Jimin’s words - “I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white.”

Part 1 is on Agust D's D-2 mixtape.😉 They are loosely connected. Jimin noted a similarity in themes (almost like a before and after).
lovedbyyoongi said on 3/17/23
"When the track list for the album was revealed, many noticed that this pre-release single was designed as "Pt.2" despite the fact that Jimin doesn't have any existing songs to his name titled "Set me free". He confirms that It's nod to a track on bandmate Yoongi's second mixtape, D-2. "There isn't a connection, and we weren't trying to divide part one or part two," he explains. "But since it turns out my song talks about freedom and moving forward, and Yoongi's song talks about some of the stories that come before. I thought it would be good to come after that" quoted from twitter.

This vocal range from Jimin is so diverse and changes line to line between. He has incorporated bass (E2-E4), baritone (A2-A4), tenor (C3-C5), counter tenore (E3-E5) plus his head voice and falsettos.. ALL IN ONE SONG. Insane.

I saw this on twitter " yoongi, who raps fast and violent, asking for freedom in the most wistfully soft way, like a sigh to the air. and jimin, who sings gently and delicately, declaring his freedom in a loud war cry, commanding & absolute. that’s Art to me. "
The differences between Set Me Free on D-2 and Jimin's Set me Free pt2.
Also it's cute that the date I'm the corner at the beginning of the video is yoongis birthday and not the actual release date :3

Incredible!!! A masterpiece!!!
In a song and choreography portray such a profound art, post-pandemic and a mirror of today's society... spectacular!!!
Pressure from the abuse of institutions and schools (Foucault), the demand for perfection (Fibonacci) and the imposition of personal development, disregarding the natural stages of human evolution, including a German poem from 1800 that translates the feeling of transmutation. Sensational!
Mr.Park Jimin never disappoints💜❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥This video is another level: absolutely amazing💛💜💜the written german tattoos on his torso
are from the poetry " I live my life in widening circles". The Poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who lived in the golden Twenties and wrote his themes in
a very exquisite and deep symbolic language, was an idol of the young generation. His most famous fan was the legendary German
Hollywood Star Marlene Dietrich and she always had his books with her.💛📚📽💜
Jimin es una obra de arte !!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
O cenário me lembra muito a sala de troféus da Hybe.
Me parece ele em meio as pressões, por onde ele anda e essas sombras sempre vão de encontro a ele.
Uma mistura de gratidão pelo alcançado e meio a tantas situações, restrições. julgamentos.
Os olhos sempre nele, essa sensação de ter sempre que se refrear ... até que ele diz que não se importa mais e diz claramente, olhe para mim agora, estou finalmente livre (livre para fazer o que quer, como quer).
E essa sensação em meio a todos os olhares que estão nele, "as mãos que sempre o buscam e tentam pegá-lo enquanto ele está no alto, tentando se resguardar) ... e por fim, mesmo ainda estando rodeado por tantas situações difíceis, ele finalmente se sente "limpo" de possíveis arrependimentos, culpas e/ou cobranças a si mesmo !
Jimin é incrível ... o mundo é pequeno para ele !
Jimin ... você é o ar que eu respiro ... eu te amo demais ! ❤
I woke up yesterday at around 12:20PM, it was released at 12:00pm in my country's time, and when I watched this, I was still sleepy but his f words really woke me up 😂
I know the vocal line also swears (behind the scenes) but it's fun to actually hear Jimin cuss...
I saw someone say they think the first time the four people were pointing at jimin, it could be online users that spew hate against him, and the second time the people point at him, it could be the media/news outlets, since they're higher up/raised compared to the first group of people.
The spiral represents the maze he was talking about. 💜
Everyone sees something different. 6, 9, spiral...personally I saw a nautilus shell.
I thought it was half of a yin yang and Jimin was the dot in the middle.
Oh but BTS on Fallon have been ok to react to before, Jimmy even commented under a reactors video if I remember correctly so I hope you can now too.
And it is Jimmy Fallon, he always been cool with BTS, great segments, funny, making them feel comfortable, genuine and fast with adding subtitles to live performances so reactors can react with subs and he shows support and that he listenes to their music even when they aren't on the show.
Jimmy Kimmel has made some bad and snarky comments so I hope he don't get BTS anymore , he also tried to make army out as crazy mob and compared BTS success to a pandemic during when the asian hate was extremely high during covid etc, do not like him.
I was waiting for your take! So excited to see what you think. 😁
He said he's the only one who can set himself free. You got it!
You're right, we're not ready for this album. Or this live performance. I'm so excited.
It gives me theatrical vibes❤
looked like ( ON +Black Swan )
I read somewhere that the main track, Like Crazy is a synth pop song. So..
So many fan edits have been coming to life lmao
I think that you could be on to something with this being an internal diologue. I noticed 2 lines in the beginning were in quotes as though someone else was saying or had said them. After that, there was some back and forth with the deeper voice saying "not yet" and "now yeah".
Amei Jimim como sempre perfeito ❤
💜💜
"F* all your opps"... Opps = opposition or haters 😁💜
I think opps can also be used as opinions!
@@aakankshaawasthy no, opps means opposition, it’s aave.
Gracias por esperar las 24 hrs para subir tu reacción.
thank u. his the wildcard.... but this one is superb
The autotune on second verse was epic I genuinely don't like it but he used it well it added so much to the song
#sir Austin thanks for a great meaningful reaction ... at the end singing "Set me free" I hear something he is saying behind ... could that be extracted ?
We don’t really hear him cuss so I think the autotune is his inner voice. First verse he says “f*ck all your opps” not “my opps” so I think he’s talking to himself. Also the autotune part with the refrain saying things like “not yet” in response to what he’s singing about. The second verse with autotune I think is his inner voice telling him to let that part of him free. Saying he can be down but that negative part of him needs to shut up and get out of the way. Overall I think it’s a resolution to Lie. In Lie he’s still stuck at the end and so I think this song is him setting himself free from that lie, which is why there’s that same lift at the end but instead of it continuing all the back up dancers fall to the ground. Also setting wise for the MV I kinda think it represents being locked in his mind more than a cage, which is why he’s in all white like he cleared his mind rather than escaping from the room. His solo songs he has credits for like Lie and Promise are introspective and I think this is the same kind of thing.
I'm late watching this but OPPS are his haters. Jimin endured 10 years of hate, death threats and vile comments, they misgendered him, called him fat to the point he starved himself. That's more than anyone could or should endure. Why doesn't anyone research his history
Bass clef or 9? Looks like part of a paisley pattern; I think it's the yin or yang that's also part of the Korean flag
Does ops mean opinions? F all your opinions?
Probably not. " F your opps" is a very common saying in hip hop. It's been around since the '80's. In hip-hop music it means opposition, enemies, or rivals.
