The way he just predicted that they would take time to focus on their individual styles. Crazy. For those who don't know, BTS will be taking time to work on themselves individually and to take a break so that they can come back stronger than ever (they will still be doing some group work, but not as much). Loved the reaction, thank you!!!
Not hiatus their label cleared that , they'll be off-period which means they'll not release group music but other group stuff such as run BTS would be there along with members solo projects
When I was watching the music video with my bf, I told him that it seemed like the might be taking a break bcuz they were reminiscing throughout it. A couple days later, my bf texted me saying I was right. I have never wanted my prediction to be true, and Blake got it here too!
@@josiebello4666 they're taking a temporary break from music , not group.activities and honestly it's necessary for them to take a break and to recharge themselves and have individual experiences and growth before they comeback
@@kuku0113 they well just take break of making music for group... not totally about music , just a groupmusic coz as what suga said, his brain is kinda drained, he cant think anymore what to write so he need to rejuvenate.. and most of them are having a solo SONG PROJECT... they want change and be free to do what they want to do individually for them to grow.
actually its kind of insane that you were able to predict their focus on solo ventures purely through observing them from a musical insight perspective.....
It's crazy how you can already tell that they've been working on themselves and honing on their skills more than ever. We appreciate every single word you said. Can't wait for them to be back with a banger 💜
dude i'm so impressed about how you predicted that they're going to focus on their individual stuff to then come back stronger, only after listening to this song like what the heck....how did you do that!!!!
As soon as you ll go through all albums , you ll understand more the concept of this song and the choice of mv style and the end of the song ) its a wonderful journey)
@@minari4047 I respect that you are entitled to your opinion however I believe that most fans enjoy an occasional retrospective of an artist's work. It allows for an overview of a body of work and often patterns you've missed focusing on one piece at a time become apparent.
@@minari4047 its a summary of their chapter , so im sure we ll have the new album really soon, they’ve been busy … For me, i think Army is a bit spoiled, coz we got used to BTS giving us a new album every year , even more so. But this time it took a little longer , but compare to other artists who release albums like once in 5 years , BTS is doing amazing job
@@minari4047 The moment you say "I like BTS but-" it's a red flag. Upon that, it's okay if this album is not your taste that's completely fine but complaining and questioning BTS artistry ain't it. Idk if you're an ARMY or not but if you are, you should have known BTS better, what this album is about and that BTS don't do such "excuse" kind of stuff. And BTS is not your other idols or artists. They may do such stuff cause they don't have "new and good quality content", but BTS don't. Everything BTS makes is a quality content, incuding the 5 new songs in the Proof album. FIVE NEW SONGS you hear me. Idols do make mini albums that contains 5-7 songs right? But everything's a problem to you guys when BTS does it LOL.
Today during BTS Festa, they talked about exactly what you said here about maturing as individuals and coming back stronger. It would be awesome if you could react to it.
i would have to disagree on the distinguishing aspect because it's actually very very easy to identify their voices once u get to know them better each of their techniques are veryyy different
i agree with you, i learned the members names by noticing their different singing and rapping voices first becasue it was so distinguishable from each other. i’ve always thought that’s a main reason why BTS work and sound so good together is because no two members sound alike unlike in other kpop and groups in general.
Extremely, I think hes thinking of the English tracks. I don't think he gets that bts is bts because they don't have a "cohesive" sound. Their thing is a new venture every era.
@@juukw-tg6lw for me Tae was the easiest and then jin and jimin and jk were a little confusing because they all have light tenor voices but i noticed jimin did alot of high notes and jin sang with more nasality so thats how i told them apart
you predicted right! omg how did i missed this? like army was so shocked about the ‘not a hiatus’ news, we really didn’t see that coming, yet here you are 100% right in your prediction. wow.
I agree with you. BTS is still at the growing stage and is like Suga said “it’s scary how there is no limit to what BTS can do”. As an ARMY (aka proud fan) I love that I can be part of this journey. It’s going to be amazing!! 💜
Okay so only long-term armys or those armys who has been following them closely will really understand this MV. Rm and Tae mentioned that this is for all the fans who have been with them throughout these long 9 years on this journey! It's a throwback and homage to their entire discography soo far! Here's all the references you missed (in the order as you move through the mv): - the formation they are sitting in is the "Just one day" formation - The shot of the truck is similar to the one from the BTS: on stage prologue - Jin instead of looking down looks up : reference to life goes on mv - Tae's outfit and rose is reminiscent of "Boy in Luv (he is wearing a uniform) - Jin's outfit is from the DNA era - the same merry go round from "Spring day" - Blood, sweat and tears statue in the background - Jimin looks down at a shoe (reference to spring day where he picks a shoe up while at the beach) He is also wearing his spring day outfit here - Namjoon in the "I need you" era with the same truck that has the same number behind him - Hobi is wearing an outfit similar to the one in the LY highlight reel and the train behind is from Spring Day - Reference to the euphoria shot where they were all in a truck - Yoongi and the piano : "First love" reference - Blood, sweat and tears reference but Taehyung and Jin swapped roles. - Same yellow bus from No more dream, their first MV - Jk does the same pose as he did in "Butterfly" - They recreated the exact same scene from the Spring Day MV here (pretty sure I missed some but other armys can add to it)
taehyung and jimin both do poses from past music videos (spring day references i think) jimin's hands over his mouth and taehyung making a frame with his hands
jimin's reach towards the camera could also be a ref to the dna hand gesture. in the og spring day scene jimin doesn't look at jhope when he touches him, but in ytc he does
Most people missed the sea waves/beach sounds at the end and the beginning. Its a reference to their fan song 'Sea' available on CD only where lyrics reference the desert becoming the sea because of ARMYs (giving life to something barren)
As always, if you watch this, PLEASE go watch the music video twice so we don't take away from their views!! Another note, if you're a musician, songwriter, artist, or even just a music listener that would like to learn about listening to music directly from me or even get one on one help with your own music. I just started a new program for that :) course.xip.co/blake-mclain
The melody is so pretty and something about it screams nostalgia to me, seeing all the references from day 1 to now I was in tears by the end of it lol. I think the chill vibe and the expressions on their faces represents contentment, not in a “this is it” way but more so “we’re closing this chapter and writing a new one.” It’s been really cool to see them grow up and evolve💜
It's impressive how you can conclude from this song that they want to grow as individuals first for now, before the announcement. As we know, BTS just announced that they will pursue individuals schedules for now and take some break to grow as individuals. As much as I'm sad that there will be less OT7 schedules, but as you said I believe that they will comeback together stronger than ever, bring their own unique colors even more.
I think the 3 new songs from PROOF really implicate this statement, especially from the lyrics. It is bittersweet but at the end they really think it is for the best, for the to be BTS for a long time, and I'll always believe in them.
So interesting that you say they sound alike having spent so much time together. I know nothing about music & can distinguish their voices from each other 98% of the time.
I've watched this before the BTS dinner streaming and came back today in awe. Because how you were so accurate in your prediction about them focusing on their solo works to come back as a stronger team. Wow! You understand them deeply as artists and I really appreciate that.
@@kunalgupta7480 With BTS it has though, this is where part of their charm lies and if it's not for you then it's not. Also this is alternative hiphop, just a reminder bc it might help you stay away from certain music genres if it's not to your taste. (PS The lyrics are rlly great so try not to overlook them by focusing on how it sounds)
‘The past was honestly the best, but my best is yet to come.’ When I first heard this line, I went ‘oh, no’! Guess it’s inevitable. Actually happy for them that they finally have a chance to develop their solo stuffs and then will come back stronger, as they have promised! 💜
Wow. The way you can see how they are starting to grow individually to find their own colors before they even announced that they're going to do exactly that. Impressive!!
Wow the fact that you knew that they had been working on their skills individually and that they would do that more in the future is AMAZING! I noticed how different their voices were in Run BTS. It was like a new them! Wow you are the real deal.
YOu put it in the best words I could've thought. They havent reach their peak yet and is so exciting to see whats yet to come. They growing as individuals, they are closing this chapter as a unit... and comeback after that realization better than ever... of course while sticking together. THank you for the reaction.
Thanks for your review. The predictions through the song were very impressive. I totally agree with you and I am very excite to wait their come back. their best time is yet to come.
They have RUN BTS (🔥🔥) and For Youth ( 🤧) as new singles as well, RUN BTS being a 'shouldn't be skipped on' type of song. Their cd3 has demos and unreleased songs from the past. Not sure if you'd be able to upload that on yt, but if you're interested in it, then you should definitely check it out 😁
making song that consist of summaries of previous songs was only done by genius musicians, and they did! they do it just because they really love what they do, and made these memories for the armys, oh they are really very sincere.. thank you bangtan, we will remember the good times and will do our best in the future, because yes.. the best is yet to come
From the clothes they're wearing, the train, the butterfly, the truck, the schoolbus and where they're sitting on the bus. All are pieces of past MVs. Even the desert with the sounds of waves crashing. Amazing amount of symbolism. So emotional!
i love that this song ends so abruptly, it builds and builds but there is no closure because the best is yet to come, it makes you crave for what's next.. its so brilliant.
im just too stunned to speak cause how the heck did you know about them going to focus more individually😭 the way you only watched from the latest mv and had a conclusion about them weren't in their peak yet always amazed me👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All the reference's: The formation their sitting in from the beginning is a reference to the "Just One Day" MV The way they sit in the bus is reference to "Spring Day" MV The members running and the truck are references from the "Run" MV JK walking/balancing is a reference to "Euphoria" Jin covering taes eyes and the angel statue are references from "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" The bus is a reference to "No More Dream" The train, taes box with his hands and carousel are references from "Spring Day" Jimins hand reaching out is a reference to the "DNA" MV The straight line chair formation could be a reference to "Life Goes On" The sand could potentially be a reference to the hourglass in "Film Out" and "Fake Love" The flower scene with yoongi is a reference to the "Stay Gold" MV The desk by tae in his first solo scene is a reference to "N.O." The cannister thingy behind namjoon during his verse is a reference to "I Need U" If I missed anymore please inform me and again some of these are a stretch
I would also add… Piano represents First Love and/or PTD. Tae with flower could represent Boy in Luv or with Luv or Singularity When the Boys are running in the dirt it reminds me of Not Today.
Jimin reaching out is definitely Spring day. It's identical and he's wearing the same Spring day outfit. At 3:54 there is a pair of shoes in the sand that he was looking at which he picks up later..so again Spring day reference.
Please react to the other new songs as well “run BTS” and “For Youth” ! Also this MV is beautiful in more ways than one because they go back and recreate a lot of their older ones 🥺 Edit: also maybe “Born Singer” even tho it’s not technically new but it’s finally available on Spotify!
It's funny you say they will go as individuals and then come back together. J Hope is going to headline at Lalapalooza, and we think he is dropping his second mixtape. He's "HEADLINING", which is a first for a Korean artist to headline an American Music Festival. They have all been working on personal projects as well. I'm looking forward to their future journey.
Chills yo. To have predicted their musical steps to the T by focusing solely on their artistry!? I'm shocked and moved.. I'm a little disappointed in myself for not noticing some things that you've mentioned on my own inspite of being here for them for the last 6 yrs! I appreciate you Blake, for honestly, wholly delving into them... 💜
Okok hold up! That gave me goosebumps how you predicted they’re gonna focus more on their individual selves and come back stronger as one. Like how did u know🤯🤯
Not me watching this video just 1hr after the release but didn't concentrate on what you said coz I had to stream and all but watching again yesterday it was sick for me coz Blake frankly speaking it's insane for you to predict such a big thing like " BTS' chap 2 that will be a long break and more to focus on their solo careers to return back as BTS again with whole knew kind of energy" just by watching a music video without even knowing the whole setup of it?? Idk what made you say exactly those words but that's what is happening rn they are on break doing solo activities but we're here for them waiting for 7 new albums again :)
This song was never intended to be a radio friendly hit, but a pause to reflect and to talk with ARMY. I think they are so bold to do this when the world (especially locals) always expects them to top themselves. That is not the purpose of this song or the album at all. And those who are disappointed have missed the point and that is okay; not everyone is going to like this song. There are some other songs on the album that show a different musical side too.
nah. I think this song is mid. I kinda prefer their old albums which is versatile but good, unlike the newer ones which only has a few good tracks and lots of bland ones
I hate this type of album since it is an excuse gor newer content just for the sake of money. I think this album was only intended for die hard fans who would defend it even though it is not that great(the new tracks are ok but are not great)
@@minari4047 it’s called an anthology album for a reason, every artist has one. I don’t know why it’s such an issue for BTS to have one. No one’s saying you have to like the new songs but you’re making it seem like there’s some evil motive behind it, relax.
I for one really love this song, it is very nostalgic and a provide reassurance to army that the best is yet to come. They have many times tell us that we will always be together.
This music video is a reference to a lot of their past music videos and this album is gonna contain a lot of their older songs, and tracks which didn't make it to the earlier albums ig.
I think all 7 members have voices that sound unique to each other so I found it interesting you said sometimes they sound similar. This music video is full of references to their older music videos. It's definitely an ending to their first chapter as a group. I think this might be their last album before they enlist in the military by the end of the year. Hope you will check out the 2 other new songs Run BTS and For Youth.
I think it can get confusing when they go into high notes and falsetto if you don’t know their voices that well because the higher the note the harder it is to hear the tone and that’s what’s so unique about their voices, all the tones are so different. I love that tae was in his lower register for this one, it’s so beautiful and I’ve been missing it😭💜
Sameeeeeeeee, bts is like one of the few groups that has a very distintic vocal line. Like every member has a unique voice whose is veeeery easy to tell them apart, even with all the producer stuff in the record versions.
@@xstoofpeer i think in studio versions it can be confusing for the newerr fans because of the auto tune ig but once you get to know them well it's very easy to distinguish between them
your comment is whole another level of testimony of the boys' musical growth as as artist so far. thanks Blake. I hardly see anyone who see things insight this way through music. you yourself is so much an artist.
When you commented about their individual style I have to agree; it’s like they are 1 group BTS but each have their one uniques voice. Totally dig your reaction.
armys has a theory that this is the era for solo songs while members go to the military😪 so they probably made mixtapes by themself in the mean time and worked on themself. J.hope is also performing solo in lollapalooza as the main act soon
thank you for everything you said, especially after knowing what happened a couple dates after you posted this haha! but seriously idk why it made me feel more comfortable ? about the situation. let’s all support hobis comeback next month and stream proof!!! apo bangpo💜💜
the new anthology album Proof also has 2 new tracks, “Run BTS” and “For Youth”. I’m sure there are many of the 48 tracks that you haven’t heard yet but if you want to save hearing them in their respective albums, it would be cool to see a reaction to the other 2!! Run BTS (not to be confused with Run by BTS which is another of their older songs) is so fun and interesting musically, different from their usual stuff!
Wow so amazing how at the end you can tell what their move would have been going forward just by listening to the rap line and how their different styles were showing. Honestly gives me more reassurance that you also believe this new path they are going on will bring them back together stronger with new set of skills to elevate the group when the time comes. Thanks! Subscribing now so I can watch how you react to their individual albums that are starting to come out soon
Only real ARMY can feel the essence of this masterpiece. some say this song is not the best or they couldn’t feel the song but let me tell you one thing this song is not for you.THIS IS FOR ARMY ♥️
Jungkook ever said (on behind the scenes of their album) that he intentionally stop took vocal lessons because he want to keep his voice original the way he is, his own style, his own character.. 💜
Holy shiet… how crazy that you got all that. I’m excited for what’s yet to come, we’re going to see each member’s distinct talent and musical preferences. As a group they’ve tried blending their talents together to make it work, now they’re going to bare it all (their music I mean).
OH MY GOD BLAKE I JUST CAME BACK TO SAY YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THEM GOING TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC AND THEN COMEBACK TOGETHER AS ONE GROUP BUT LIKE .. HOW DID YOU KNOW. BTS JUST ANNOUNCED THEY'D BE FOCUSING ON SOLO PROJECTS FOR A WHILE AND WOULD TEMPORARILY HALT GROUP MUSIC .. (NOT HIATUS OR ANYTHING BUT THEY WON'T DO GROUP MUSIC FOR A WHILE) AND TO SEE THAT U SAID HOW THEY WERE GONNA COMEBACK STRONGER WOW REALLY PREDICTED FUTURE 😳
the way what you predicted became really true how did you do it haha really excited to witness their growth as individually and musically in their next chapter
the 3rd CD on this album is just demos of some of their songs and i think it would be so so cool if u checked them out and went over their process and what's different!
Omg ! you get it right you gave me goosebumps ! this reaction was done before their Festa dinner where they announced on working on their solo album which means they will be taking a break for a while to focus on their individual work while attending also on their activities as a group. As they promised, they will be back stronger!
I always love watching and listening to yoir reactions to BTS. Thank you :) the MV is just a beautiful rundown of their journey :) going back to no more dream, blood sweat&tears, spring day will help to understand the MV, it's just beautiful! Thanks again!
This song is so emotional!! This song sounds kind of like their older songs but newer!!! The Unnerving feeling I think it is because their is a high possibility that they will go serve in the military or be more focused on their solo careers…however it still gives off hopeful vibes. Like JK said in the song, “Promise I’ll keep coming back for more…” This song totally represents what BTS is all about since the beginning; fighting for their dreams and sending positivity… I respectfully disagree about their vocals being hard to figure who is who. All their voice are very distinct. I learned who was singing so fast. However I do understand with they are singing in higher falsetto’s sometime or using autotune sometimes…Majority of the time I can still figure it out pretty quick…They do blend really well together with the though… I personally love this song!!!
This made me cry buckets, knowing what BTS and ARMY have been through in the last 9-almost 10 years. This song just carries so much weight. And if you really internalize the lyrics of the song and all that is reminiscent (references) of their entire career, BTS has been the same. Their message from the very beginning is so consistent and clear. It almost seems like a farewell song, and honestly I don't want it to be. It's like a homage to themselves and their fans. So bittersweet, simple but still full of hope. So if BTS can say the BEST IS YET TO COME, as ARMY I'm gonna take it from them. I'm gonna live my life moving forward just like I've always done.
The reason why you said you’ve seen the clips in the mv before is because a lot of the scenes and props have been picked from previous music videos they’ve made. It’s their tribute to the past and appreciating their old work before looking to the future!
With you not using the English subtitles, you don't get so much of the references to their past (so many nostalgic things-Spring Day, Blood, Sweat & Tears, etc.-and I love that RM said "spitting bars" as I think he, Suga and J-Hope will focus more on their rapping (if you haven't listened to Cypher, they are so amazing), in what lies ahead. I think they have the most distinguished voices-so easy to tell who is who voice wise. They are coming....they will OWN it-as the best IS yet to come!
Thank you for made this video reaction... Thank you so much to elaborate something that i as an average person didn't know about the song... Thank you for doing it honestly

Here's all the references you missed (in the order as you move through the mv):
- the formation they are sitting in is the "Just one day" formation
- The shot of the truck is similar to the one from the BTS: on stage prologue
- Jin instead of looking down looks up : reference to life goes on mv
- Tae's outfit and rose is reminiscent of "Boy in Luv (he is wearing a uniform)
- Jin's outfit is from the DNA era
- the same merry go round from "Spring day"
- Blood, sweat and tears statue in the background
- Jimin looks down at a shoe (reference to spring day where he picks a shoe up while at the beach) He is also wearing his spring day outfit here
- Namjoon in the "I need you" era with the same truck that has the same number behind him
- Hobi is wearing an outfit similar to the one in the LY highlight reel and the train behind is from Spring Day
- Reference to the euphoria shot where they were all in a truck
- Yoongi and the piano : "First love" reference
- Blood, sweat and tears reference but Taehyung and Jin swapped roles.
- Same yellow bus from No more dream, their first MV
- Jk does the same pose as he did in "Butterfly"

It seems that you understand and recognized BTS better than any other media in Korea.
If BTS sees your UA-cam channel, I think they will like it.
So interesting that you say they sound alike having spent so much time together. I know nothing about music & can distinguish their voices from each other 98% of the time.
I totally agree. Maybe a few times when they are high in falsetto or using auto tune do I find it hard. I learned who voice was whose really fast.
I've watched this before the BTS dinner streaming and came back today in awe. Because how you were so accurate in your prediction about them focusing on their solo works to come back as a stronger team. Wow! You understand them deeply as artists and I really appreciate that.
Run BTS is fire. You should check it out and thank you for your reaction
It really isss fire
harry styles new album is better but this was ok as well
@@kunalgupta7480 ok?
@@luninck5088 yeah it was ok
this rap plus chorus style seems to be from the 2010's era and it hasnt aged well
just my opinion
@@kunalgupta7480 With BTS it has though, this is where part of their charm lies and if it's not for you then it's not. Also this is alternative hiphop, just a reminder bc it might help you stay away from certain music genres if it's not to your taste.
(PS The lyrics are rlly great so try not to overlook them by focusing on how it sounds)
‘The past was honestly the best, but my best is yet to come.’ When I first heard this line, I went ‘oh, no’! Guess it’s inevitable. Actually happy for them that they finally have a chance to develop their solo stuffs and then will come back stronger, as they have promised! 💜
Wow. The way you can see how they are starting to grow individually to find their own colors before they even announced that they're going to do exactly that. Impressive!!
Wow the fact that you knew that they had been working on their skills individually and that they would do that more in the future is AMAZING! I noticed how different their voices were in Run BTS. It was like a new them! Wow you are the real deal.
YOu put it in the best words I could've thought. They havent reach their peak yet and is so exciting to see whats yet to come. They growing as individuals, they are closing this chapter as a unit... and comeback after that realization better than ever... of course while sticking together. THank you for the reaction.
THE REFERENCES IN THIS MV IS CRAZY
Thanks for your review. The predictions through the song were very impressive. I totally agree with you and I am very excite to wait their come back. their best time is yet to come.
They have RUN BTS (🔥🔥) and For Youth ( 🤧) as new singles as well, RUN BTS being a 'shouldn't be skipped on' type of song. Their cd3 has demos and unreleased songs from the past. Not sure if you'd be able to upload that on yt, but if you're interested in it, then you should definitely check it out 😁
May I know where the demos and unreleased songs be released? I mean where can I listen to those?
@@whatever_itis you can find it here on youtube, official versions only on cd
@@elinak1009 thanks!

making song that consist of summaries of previous songs was only done by genius musicians, and they did! they do it just because they really love what they do, and made these memories for the armys, oh they are really very sincere.. thank you bangtan, we will remember the good times and will do our best in the future, because yes.. the best is yet to come
From the clothes they're wearing, the train, the butterfly, the truck, the schoolbus and where they're sitting on the bus. All are pieces of past MVs. Even the desert with the sounds of waves crashing. Amazing amount of symbolism. So emotional!
i love that this song ends so abruptly, it builds and builds but there is no closure because the best is yet to come, it makes you crave for what's next.. its so brilliant.
Wait, why i never think about this
@@emerald442 i really felt weird when it ended so soon but then it clicked that that really is what it's about
im just too stunned to speak cause how the heck did you know about them going to focus more individually😭 the way you only watched from the latest mv and had a conclusion about them weren't in their peak yet always amazed me👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All the reference's:
The formation their sitting in from the beginning is a reference to the "Just One Day" MV
The way they sit in the bus is reference to "Spring Day" MV
The members running and the truck are references from the "Run" MV
JK walking/balancing is a reference to "Euphoria"
Jin covering taes eyes and the angel statue are references from "Blood, Sweat, and Tears"
The bus is a reference to "No More Dream"
The train, taes box with his hands and carousel are references from "Spring Day"
Jimins hand reaching out is a reference to the "DNA" MV
The straight line chair formation could be a reference to "Life Goes On"
The sand could potentially be a reference to the hourglass in "Film Out" and "Fake Love"
The flower scene with yoongi is a reference to the "Stay Gold" MV
The desk by tae in his first solo scene is a reference to "N.O."
The cannister thingy behind namjoon during his verse is a reference to "I Need U"
If I missed anymore please inform me and again some of these are a stretch
I would also add…
Piano represents First Love and/or PTD.
Tae with flower could represent Boy in Luv or with Luv or Singularity
When the Boys are running in the dirt it reminds me of Not Today.
V hace una referencia a "Boy in luv"
Or Jimin reaching out could be Spring Day too
Jimin reaching out is definitely Spring day. It's identical and he's wearing the same Spring day outfit. At 3:54 there is a pair of shoes in the sand that he was looking at which he picks up later..so again Spring day reference.
The members running is from Euphoria, that has the moment where Jimin looks at the camera similar to what he does in this MV.
8:33 ~ 🤯🤪😳???
어떻게 알았죠?! 우주의 기운이 갑자기 내려온 건가요??!! 너무 신기하고 놀라워요
HOW???? HOW DID YOU KNOW?! It's CRAZY!!! You're so AMAZING!!!
@ 8:43 Blake, just flat out predicting the future I see 🙂 (referring to BTS hiatus)
Please react to the other new songs as well “run BTS” and “For Youth” !
Also this MV is beautiful in more ways than one because they go back and recreate a lot of their older ones 🥺
Edit: also maybe “Born Singer” even tho it’s not technically new but it’s finally available on Spotify!
You just right about BTS's next chapter!
Let us all wait for the moment they all come back after they hone in their personal styles and growth 😊. Can't wait for what is yet to come!!! 💜
Bro goosebumps
It's funny you say they will go as individuals and then come back together. J Hope is going to headline at Lalapalooza, and we think he is dropping his second mixtape. He's "HEADLINING", which is a first for a Korean artist to headline an American Music Festival. They have all been working on personal projects as well. I'm looking forward to their future journey.
Nostradamus!!!!!♡♡♡
ikr I got chills from the way he predicted all the stuff
I love this song. As an army but also as someone going through a major career change rn. It’s very fitting of my life so I’m enjoying it even more.
Chills yo. To have predicted their musical steps to the T by focusing solely on their artistry!? I'm shocked and moved.. I'm a little disappointed in myself for not noticing some things that you've mentioned on my own inspite of being here for them for the last 6 yrs! I appreciate you Blake, for honestly, wholly delving into them... 💜
Okok hold up! That gave me goosebumps how you predicted they’re gonna focus more on their individual selves and come back stronger as one. Like how did u know🤯🤯
Not me watching this video just 1hr after the release but didn't concentrate on what you said coz I had to stream and all but watching again yesterday it was sick for me coz Blake frankly speaking it's insane for you to predict such a big thing like " BTS' chap 2 that will be a long break and more to focus on their solo careers to return back as BTS again with whole knew kind of energy" just by watching a music video without even knowing the whole setup of it?? Idk what made you say exactly those words but that's what is happening rn they are on break doing solo activities but we're here for them waiting for 7 new albums again :)
This song was never intended to be a radio friendly hit, but a pause to reflect and to talk with ARMY. I think they are so bold to do this when the world (especially locals) always expects them to top themselves. That is not the purpose of this song or the album at all. And those who are disappointed have missed the point and that is okay; not everyone is going to like this song. There are some other songs on the album that show a different musical side too.
nah. I think this song is mid. I kinda prefer their old albums which is versatile but good, unlike the newer ones which only has a few good tracks and lots of bland ones
I hate this type of album since it is an excuse gor newer content just for the sake of money. I think this album was only intended for die hard fans who would defend it even though it is not that great(the new tracks are ok but are not great)
@@minari4047 it’s called an anthology album for a reason, every artist has one. I don’t know why it’s such an issue for BTS to have one. No one’s saying you have to like the new songs but you’re making it seem like there’s some evil motive behind it, relax.
I for one really love this song, it is very nostalgic and a provide reassurance to army that the best is yet to come. They have many times tell us that we will always be together.
True. Some people don't understand the meaning of " ANTHOLOGY ".
This music video is a reference to a lot of their past music videos and this album is gonna contain a lot of their older songs, and tracks which didn't make it to the earlier albums ig.
You're spot on. They also think that they have to take time for themselves in order to stay as bts for a long long time.
I think all 7 members have voices that sound unique to each other so I found it interesting you said sometimes they sound similar. This music video is full of references to their older music videos. It's definitely an ending to their first chapter as a group. I think this might be their last album before they enlist in the military by the end of the year. Hope you will check out the 2 other new songs Run BTS and For Youth.
I had the same thought about this being the last thing before the militarily
Their voices are autotuned together
I think it can get confusing when they go into high notes and falsetto if you don’t know their voices that well because the higher the note the harder it is to hear the tone and that’s what’s so unique about their voices, all the tones are so different. I love that tae was in his lower register for this one, it’s so beautiful and I’ve been missing it😭💜
Sameeeeeeeee, bts is like one of the few groups that has a very distintic vocal line. Like every member has a unique voice whose is veeeery easy to tell them apart, even with all the producer stuff in the record versions.
@@xstoofpeer i think in studio versions it can be confusing for the newerr fans because of the auto tune ig but once you get to know them well it's very easy to distinguish between them
Your opinion is right, they’re gonna debut solo for the new chapter and back again as a group for the new of BTS
your comment is whole another level of testimony of the boys' musical growth as as artist so far. thanks Blake. I hardly see anyone who see things insight this way through music. you yourself is so much an artist.
dude your prediction was totally spot on at the end there. I'm curious about how you came to that conclusion just from this song
U predicted it all wowwww!!!!!!
You're going viral on twt, you're so genius
Wow! I’m shock! It’s almost like you predicts it cause what you said at the end, is just happening…they’re going to enjoy this new chapter!
When you commented about their individual style I have to agree; it’s like they are 1 group BTS but each have their one uniques voice. Totally dig your reaction.
It's amazing that you predicted their future plan just by listening to the one song.
You need to react to their 2 new tracks ''Run BTS'' and ''For Youth''. There's no MV, but listen it,please.
I do agree Blake with what you said. Although we may not see anything new for quite a bit. Best is yet to come! Lol Have a Great Day! 💜
......no emoji
armys has a theory that this is the era for solo songs while members go to the military😪 so they probably made mixtapes by themself in the mean time and worked on themself. J.hope is also performing solo in lollapalooza as the main act soon
no emoji
Holy....! Are you a fortune teller or what!!!!
Anyway thank you 💜
It has a lot of references to their old songs. This is what makes this song special.
How did you just guess what was gonna happen…(?) I’m speechless
All bts is the best i have my Especial l love Jimin so much 😚😚😗❤❤💖💞💜💜👏👏👌👌
finally someone discussing music sensibly
thank you for everything you said, especially after knowing what happened a couple dates after you posted this haha! but seriously idk why it made me feel more comfortable ? about the situation. let’s all support hobis comeback next month and stream proof!!! apo bangpo💜💜
the new anthology album Proof also has 2 new tracks, “Run BTS” and “For Youth”. I’m sure there are many of the 48 tracks that you haven’t heard yet but if you want to save hearing them in their respective albums, it would be cool to see a reaction to the other 2!!
Run BTS (not to be confused with Run by BTS which is another of their older songs) is so fun and interesting musically, different from their usual stuff!
Wow so amazing how at the end you can tell what their move would have been going forward just by listening to the rap line and how their different styles were showing. Honestly gives me more reassurance that you also believe this new path they are going on will bring them back together stronger with new set of skills to elevate the group when the time comes. Thanks! Subscribing now so I can watch how you react to their individual albums that are starting to come out soon
THATS WAS BEAUTIFUL.
You called it wow
Only real ARMY can feel the essence of this masterpiece.
some say this song is not the best or they couldn’t feel the song but let me tell you one thing this song is not for you.THIS IS FOR ARMY ♥️
You predicted it😭
당분간 완전체로서의 탄이들을 볼 순 없겠지만 맥클레인님의 긍정적이고 발전적 예측에 희망을 걸어봅니다.
우리 애들 늘 아빠미소로 따뜻하게 바라봐주시고 격려해 주셔서 감사합니다. 모두에게 행운을 빌어봅니다. 🍀
I love this beautiful song and MV...the message it contains is everything 💜
Your analysis is absolutely brilliant, and you’re absolutely correct since you uploaded this video before their FESTA dinner… I’m getting chills
This song is a compilation of their 10 year journey, the lyrics, the mv and symbolism
They have grown. They are adults now and like they say the best is yet to come. Can’t wait.
I'm so glad you noticed the dark feel in this. Every reaction I've seen talks about how upbeat it feels, and I'm like "No? It's bittersweet?"
BTS는 이번 개인활동으로 더 강해지고 다시 합쳐질땐 더욱더 막강해져서 나올겁니다. 지난 9년동안 늘 헤이러들 코를 납작하게 만들면서 치열하게 살아왔으니까요.
oh you were on point with the predictions
The video holds so many pieces to videos past. It brought tears to my eyes
Jungkook ever said (on behind the scenes of their album) that he intentionally stop took vocal lessons because he want to keep his voice original the way he is, his own style, his own character.. 💜
no emoji
Holy shiet… how crazy that you got all that. I’m excited for what’s yet to come, we’re going to see each member’s distinct talent and musical preferences. As a group they’ve tried blending their talents together to make it work, now they’re going to bare it all (their music I mean).
OH MY GOD BLAKE I JUST CAME BACK TO SAY YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THEM GOING TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC AND THEN COMEBACK TOGETHER AS ONE GROUP BUT LIKE .. HOW DID YOU KNOW. BTS JUST ANNOUNCED THEY'D BE FOCUSING ON SOLO PROJECTS FOR A WHILE AND WOULD TEMPORARILY HALT GROUP MUSIC .. (NOT HIATUS OR ANYTHING BUT THEY WON'T DO GROUP MUSIC FOR A WHILE) AND TO SEE THAT U SAID HOW THEY WERE GONNA COMEBACK STRONGER WOW REALLY PREDICTED FUTURE 😳
He predicted that 😳
And it came true whattttttttt?
I'm so shocked
lovee love love your reaction as always!! wish i could see you reacting to Jin’s Epiphany Demo too tho🥺💜
RUN BTS is a Banger don't miss it
I definitely felt the “fighting with the vocals”
the way what you predicted became really true how did you do it haha really excited to witness their growth as individually and musically in their next chapter
Damn. You actually could see what we were so blinded to see
the 3rd CD on this album is just demos of some of their songs and i think it would be so so cool if u checked them out and went over their process and what's different!
Omg ! you get it right you gave me goosebumps ! this reaction was done before their Festa dinner where they announced on working on their solo album which means they will be taking a break for a while to focus on their individual work while attending also on their activities as a group. As they promised, they will be back stronger!
Jimin voice is cool 💜
I always love watching and listening to yoir reactions to BTS. Thank you :)
the MV is just a beautiful rundown of their journey :) going back to no more dream, blood sweat&tears, spring day will help to understand the MV, it's just beautiful!
Thanks again!
You have to react RUN BTS definitely
This song is so emotional!! This song sounds kind of like their older songs but newer!!!
The Unnerving feeling I think it is because their is a high possibility that they will go serve in the military or be more focused on their solo careers…however it still gives off hopeful vibes. Like JK said in the song, “Promise I’ll keep coming back for more…”
This song totally represents what BTS is all about since the beginning; fighting for their dreams and sending positivity…
I respectfully disagree about their vocals being hard to figure who is who. All their voice are very distinct. I learned who was singing so fast. However I do understand with they are singing in higher falsetto’s sometime or using autotune sometimes…Majority of the time I can still figure it out pretty quick…They do blend really well together with the though…
I personally love this song!!!
This made me cry buckets, knowing what BTS and ARMY have been through in the last 9-almost 10 years. This song just carries so much weight. And if you really internalize the lyrics of the song and all that is reminiscent (references) of their entire career, BTS has been the same. Their message from the very beginning is so consistent and clear. It almost seems like a farewell song, and honestly I don't want it to be. It's like a homage to themselves and their fans. So bittersweet, simple but still full of hope. So if BTS can say the BEST IS YET TO COME, as ARMY I'm gonna take it from them. I'm gonna live my life moving forward just like I've always done.
The reason why you said you’ve seen the clips in the mv before is because a lot of the scenes and props have been picked from previous music videos they’ve made. It’s their tribute to the past and appreciating their old work before looking to the future!
With you not using the English subtitles, you don't get so much of the references to their past (so many nostalgic things-Spring Day, Blood, Sweat & Tears, etc.-and I love that RM said "spitting bars" as I think he, Suga and J-Hope will focus more on their rapping (if you haven't listened to Cypher, they are so amazing), in what lies ahead. I think they have the most distinguished voices-so easy to tell who is who voice wise. They are coming....they will OWN it-as the best IS yet to come!
Holy crap. You really called that one!
I love your reaction~^^
Thank you for made this video reaction... Thank you so much to elaborate something that i as an average person didn't know about the song... Thank you for doing it honestly
You predicted their plan..😲
