The Astronaut was a “see-you-later” song he released just before he enlisted. It was a very uncertain and tough time for everyone since he was the first to enlist. Coming to the video, I’m not sure if you had a chance to learn about how BTS came to be, but ever since the beginning, Jin had felt a little lost and it took him time to find his place, and more so his peace and confidence within BTS, that without him or any one of the others, there’s no BTS. It’s always the seven. This has been portrayed in the music video through him donning the role of an alien who somehow landed on Earth and could not go back to where he came from. When he sees a flicker of hope, a chance that he can go back, it’s something he thought would make him happy. But during his time on Earth, he befriends the little girl who represents ARMY. Being with her changes him as a person and he wants to make sure that she would be okay when he is not there. He’s all set to return but just as that moment arrives, he realises that there’s no place else he’d rather be than with ARMY. That “smoothest ever let’s get the fuck out of here” is actually him realizing this and rushing back home 💜 the song encapsulates Jin’s journey with himself as a person, as a musician, as an artist, and through it all, with ARMY :) Like so many others also mentioned, please do check out the live performance of Astronaut in Argentina (Coldplay’s concert). Safe to say everyone was a crying mess that day. Thank you for another video, as always! I haven’t finished watching this one but a notification from you never fails to bring a smile to my face! ☺️
Ok so perhaps he’s the “alien” and that’s his spaceship that landed here on earth and finding his way. That also makes that drawing of “home” make sense
I think for Jin (and other members) “space” often refers to trouble or alienation in some way. BUT within that space, the moon, the stars, the light in the darkness, the companion in troubles is ARMY. Here imo going to space is going to the military, afraid he may never see us again, but then we, the purple lights, surround and envelop him. Purple is always ARMY. Thats why the little girls bike is purple.
You should've seen how much trouble we got in for making this a viral dance challenge 🤣 Jin was like "NO THIS WAS A JOKE! DON'T ACTUALLY SHOW OTHER PEOPLE?!"
IKRRR!!! If there was any other reactor they would be like "first time listening reaction" and just pretend but GB giving it the title "review" and being honest about it. he's different 😭💜
Back here for Super Tuna supremacy. Two things: first, he wrote this song during a fishing trip, he included a shooting for a magazine for the company, because he wanted to go fishing and have no time. He framed everything on the company expenses. That's my JinHit Entertainment. Second, this was a funny birthday present for ARMY for his birthday and ended up as a viral dance challenge because we love it!. So when he got back from the military he recorded (that same night) a new version with a second verse. Super Tuna was actually in a lot of ARMY spotify wrapped. It gives you happiness.
I’d love to see you react to J-Hope’s solo performance at Lollapalooza! It’s a great way to experience most (but not all!) the songs from his first two albums. Also his stage presence was off the charts. As an ARMY I was so proud of him! J-Hope makes great music, but I feel like he really brings it alive when he performs it.
Check out the live version of The Astronaut with Coldplay. Chris Martin does a really nice introduction for Jin. Jin traveled something like 36 hours to perform that one song during Coldplay's tour in Argentina. They've formed such a nice friendship. Side note, Chris Martin played the news reporter on the tv in the astronaut video.
I’m going by memory here and I’m 50, so take with a grain of salt. I this I read or heard an interview where he said entering the music industry as someone who had no background in singing or dancing, he felt like didn’t belong, like an alien. When he debuted with BTS, he felt like he finally found his place. BTS is family and ARMY. He sees ARMY as Earth, he’s the moon. Separate, but symbiotic.
Super Tuna was never meant to be released on streaming platforms. It was just a funny birthday gift with 1 verse. But it went so viral that they ended up releasing it officially after months. Finally after almost 2 years he added a verse and made a whole new video and released it
There is a recurring space theme in Jin's songs. He has an older solo song called "Moon", his explanation for this song was “This song is about how the moon views the earth. I am the Moon, and ARMY is my Earth." The Astronaut was written as a goodbye song before he left to do his military service and "Running wild" is the title track of the album that he released as soon as he returned. So I'm sure that's the connection and the reason behind the theme.
Also, when you consider that CP was in the middle of Music of the Spheres, and had collaborated with BTS for My Universe, you can see the thematic continuity.
Jin met with COLDPLAY for the song "Astronaut" and wrote it for ARMY before enlisting in the military. He performed the song as a surprise at a Coldplay concert. It was like a dream. Coldplay is playing and Jin sings. My eyes filled with tears. You should definitely watch a live concert.
Fully agree, and add "Fix You" fo you to get back into all the members, a special tribute to a song they love and the begining of an awesome relationship with Coldplay that led to "My Universe" , the behind the scenes when they first met is incredible.
The hilarious thing is Jin begs people not to share Super Tuna or listen to it in public. He remade this bit of fun he released on his birthday adding a verse because the huge crowds played it when Jin was waiting to carry the olympic torch in Paris. He doubled over laughing red in the face. Hes bowed to the fans love of it.
Yeah!!! You got it...That is jumping, the word - palltak palltak!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jin has this special ability to make anyone laugh.. and he never fails in that!! Edit - He did ask us not to promote it anywhere because it was just for ARMYs. And of course we, simply agreeing to him, made the song viral and then charted it on BB charts and iTunes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 We, ARMYs are different level of unserious fandom
You mentioned Super Tuna should be used for an ad for seafood, and I just had to say IT WAS! At least sorta. There are TikTok videos of employees of tuna factories in South Korea dancing to Super Tuna. It was such a fun time when Jin released the song for fans. It never fails to make everyone laugh!
I will never be made more sad than by the fact that we were robbed of your initial reaction to Super Tuna XDDD I bump Super Tuna loud af every time it comes on when I'm driving. IT GIVES ME LIFE!!! Jin: Army, this song is embarrassing, please don't chart it! Army: Immediately chart this....... XD It was also half as long, but Jin loves Army so much he added a new verse to it after he came back from his enlistment because he knows we love Super Tuna. SUPER TUNA, FOREVER!! x)
The Astronaut was a gift to us at a very difficult time. He was the first one to leave us for military and it was the dread of not having him with us for next 18 mnths plus all the uncertainties of post-return time frame. The Astronaut was a reassurance that he will always come back to us. That even if he was drifting away aimlessly before, he found home with us and he will be back home soon. Running Wild is him promising that he will stay along our side till the very end. Even if the world around us crumbles, our home will stay intact & safe, as long as we our together. But before all this was a song called Moon. He says he is our moon and we are his earth. That his existence is purely tied in to ours. Given how ethereally beautiful Seokjin is (both inside and out) I think it makes sense that every time we need a metaphor to describe his presence in our lives it has to be outer worldly. Something beyond our universe.
Jin is actually the alien in this one. He chose to stay when his ship left because of the relationships he developed. This was a song to tell ARMY that, even though he was going to be gone for a while (his enlistment) he would not leave us, and he loves ARMY. Chris Martin of Coldplay wrote this song and gave it to Jin who worked it into a love song for ARMY. Thank you for your review. 💜
You are spot on that there is always a message to crack and Easter Eggs to find. You noticed the crossword puzzle. He also has ARMY written in Braille on his neck in The Astronaut, he has his guitar from Chris in the room and the Coldplay posters on the wall. As someone already said, he also references his song Moon in which he says ARMY is his earth. The purple nebula that he stands in resembles the view for him of the purple ocean that is ARMY at a concert. His performance in Argentina brought ARMY to tears. Coldplay livestreamed the concert in theatres so ARMY could watch around the world. Jin also did 2 travel log Bangtan bombs about his trip that you might want to check out along with the performance video. Super Tuna is pure Jin, he lives for making ARMY and his members smile. We are so spoiled as a fandom! Thank you for continuing to show love and enjoyment with all your reactions to BTS. #Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Edited to add that related to fishing, Jin recently put out a couple of Bangtan Bombs about his tuna fishing trip. JHope narrated the videos like it was a BBC documentary. It was very cute and funny. He also did a series of videos a couple of weeks ago which were a game where ARMY chose the outcome of the video that led you through the story. Some were good choices, most were hilarious.
Chris Martin and his son, Moses, provided background vocals for The Astronaut. Jin traveled to Argentina to perform this song at a Coldplay concert right before enlisting. I hope you check that out with the introduction Chris did for him, it's so sweet and genuine💜🐙
It's amazing you said you could hear retro gaming sounds in super tuna, he is into gaming. Jins character is also very young at heart/jokesta... if you watch more stage performances, you may start to see it more 💜
To feel Christmas - I can recommend you something... Taehyung released two new songs.. One is a jazz song called 'Winter Ahead (feat. Park Hyo Shin)'... And another is - you gonna be surprised - White Christmas (with Bing Crosby). Bing's team reached out to Tae if he wanted to be a part of it and he said yes, because he is a big fan of him. Bing's voice was carefully taken out the og song using advanced tech. (no AI) and Tae had his part. These two songs are right up the very holiday season!! Happy holidays to you too!!!
such a loss that we didn't get to see your first reaction to super tuna but so glad that you still decided to share this review with us, jin doesn't take himself seriously, he's the mood maker and light of bts said by the own members so super tuna is the most jin song ever, so glad you got to see a part of his personality. pleaseee watch suchwita episodes for every member 🙏🏻
Thanks GameBoyy for being always down to earth of being yourself with your thoughts. I agree with you about "Christmas not feeling like Christmas" -- especially in the U.S. where many of us are drained of what's happened here, but continue to stay happy, healthy and wise.💜
11:26 (fellow armys correct me if i'm wrong) i don't think he's ever talked about being "infatuated" in extraterrestrial life, but he does has another song called 'Moon', so he might be into it to some degree. he might also got inspired by Coldplay, whose last album was space/universe-themed. but yea i do believe The Astronaut and Running Wild are kinda connected, especially because The Astronaut is a goodbye song before he left for military, while Running Wild is a comeback song
Thank you for not being fake and re-react for the sake of entertainment. We love your Indepth. Also yeah for Super Tuna it's quite on point since Jin is a gamer 😁
30:14 the funniest thing about this is that he made the song while on a fishing trip w his producer and went all the way to make choreography, and he wanted us to keep it amongst ourselves as fans but it quickly went super viral like baby shark did. (this is actually version two where he added a second verse. the original was just a choreography video to a shorter version of the song, came out a couple yrs ago!)
On Jin’s Birthday just before he went into the military, during his live stream he gifted ARMY Super Tuna. There was a different video. He told ARMY it was just for us and not to do dance challenges and make it go viral. Well us ARMY did just the opposite. The next day Tik Tok was flooded with dance challenges. It went viral and surpassed Baby Shark. The day after Jin came out of the military he performed Super Tuna live and added a second verse to it and ARMY went nuts. He gave us a brand new video. You mentioned Super Tuna sounded like a video game. Jin is a gamer. He actually goes live and streams himself playing games. 😉 Another level is about playing video games. Challenge yourself to not give up and keep pushing forward until you get to another level. Jin is fascinated with space. He has a song called Moon. BTS has several songs about space, Microcosmos & 134340 about Pluto. They have a collaboration with Coldplay called My Universe (space themed). Happy Holidays! Can’t wait for your next reaction!
Jin is the one whos always trying to make everyone feel relax, he does a lot of funny things. I love his sense of humor, I love your reacts to them, they are so real like, even in a unserious way you still see their true colors. Love it.
You definitely one of the real ones. We don't like fake reactions either so a review of the songs is definitely a nice solution to the screen recording problem you had. Plus, I not only enjoy your reactions, but also enjoy your review and analysis as well so this was the perfect resolution. If you haven't already, check out the live performance of The Astronaut with Coldplay. Btw...the universe and galaxy is not just with Jin... it's with BTS overall. There's a whole fictional storyline called Bangtan (BTS) Universe which I'm not gonna go into because it's super complicated and a whole other level on its own. When the concept of universe or galaxy come up, I automatically think of BTS and ARMY. There's definitely a connection between the artist and fan... it's our own universe, our own galaxy. 😊💜
He did Ddaeng with the explanation video. totally worth watching. He didn't disappoint. It was when he first started getting into reacting to BTS. The authenticity of his reaction was amazing.
Omg! You are one of the rare reactors who truly appreciate Jin! ❤Another level is my fav! Jin is a Jinius! BTS a never do anything half heartedly! Jin wants Army to laugh and you did!
2:03 this right here is why you're thee reactor for me. you're so genuine and authentic among a sea of fake people reacting for clout. we appreciate you!!
Thank you for still redoing the video and being honest with already seeing it. I would of Loved to see your original reaction to Super Tuna though lool 😂
You need to see The Astronaut's live performance with Coldplay at River Plate In Buenos Aires , you will notice that the harmonies are done by Chris 🥹💜
Many comments have mentioned Moon, but BTS also has a song called Mikrocosmos as well as a collab with Coldplay called My Universe. It has been a theme that ARMY are the stars in their universe and The Astronaut was his way of saying goodbye for military service.
Jin's discography is wild because you can go from bawling your eyes out to Epiphany to yelling PALTAK PALTAK 🤣 And yeah, Super tuna is a super unserious song taken really seriously, Jin actually performed a rockish version at his showcase a few weeks ago and it was top tier, even when joking you can trust BTS to be serious about music.
D-DAY by suga Indigo by RM Golden by jungkook Jack in the box by jhope Mute and face by jimin Hope on the street by jhope Save me group song Take two .....group song Blood sweat and tears group song
Oh he might also like the 2 new winter time Christmas songs by V since it's that time of year "Winter Ahead feat. Park Hyo Shin" and Bing Crosby x V (of BTS) "White Christmas" although I will say I wish I had watched the "Winter Ahead (Cinematic Still Ver.)" first instead which essentially is an official lyric video cuz I got so distracted by trying to figure out the mysterious Winter Ahead Official MV I couldn't take the song in properly lol. Any of these suggestions would be great of course though, whatever he wants to check out. "A Guide to BTS Members" by Taylor Mari would be excellent since he's gotten to hear all the members now, it still has some good info.
I second the Hobipalloza suggestions Hobi -sorry i mean Jay- on stage is such an experience his stage presence of the roof,. PLEASE PLEASE do Hobipalloza next.
When you said there is a co relation to The Astronaut and Running Wild, I agree with you 100%, felt that too... and the lyrics, The Astronaut was released before he got enlisted and it's saying that he will just be gone for a while but he loves us (Armys) so he'll be back. Then Running Wild, felt like he's back and he will be with us til he gets old, when he always says that he wants to peform for Armys til he gets super old. Anyway, thank you for always giving us a great review/reaction on BTSs discography, you'll always be my fave vid reactor. 💜
If you miss the 7 together, I don't think you ever checked out Spine Breaker. Although the theme is not particularly funny (the song is about class differences in Korean society) Jin choreographed it... you'll recognise his sense of humor in the MV.
omg i can't believe we got robbed of your initial Super Tuna reaction!! FYI-this is the extended version. The original song was about half the length and had a much simpler video. FOR NEXT:: if you are going to be revisiting j-hope, his latest album is a dance-focused album and not a rap heavy, so I'd rec the title track "Neuron". I also still vehemently want you to watch j-hope performing at Lollapalooza 2022! he gives an incredible performance that goes through most of his discography, left the crowd (me included) totally breathless, and the set is only 1h.
You are seriously amazing!!! Thank you so much for making this video for us especially after losing your reaction , we appreciate it so much!! Love your review of 'The Astronaut'. And I love that you understood 'Super Tuna' is definitely his silly, fun song😆😅 He released this song for fun on his birthday I think 3 years ago and created a viral dance challenge😂😂 He's such a crackup!!! This MV you watched is a new one which is an extended version with the new verse he released after his military service lol He sang the extended version in a mini concert he held for 2,000 fans the day after he came home I like that you picked up on the game style music because gaming and fishing are his favourite hobbies so it's definitely intentional. He talks about his love for fishing but that he's never caught a tuna so this MV showing him proposing to a tuna, asking it to take his hook just sent me 🤣🤣🤣 No one can pull this kind of quirky, silly weirdness but Jin😆 He is such an awesome person and always giving so much love to his fans. He loves making us happy and he sure gives us plenty to smile and be happy about❤️❤️❤️ I've really appreciated your videos of Jin's work. So many people don't get him and don't appreciate the value he brings to BTS, and discredit him saying he doesn't deserve his spot which is so infuriating to hear cos they're so wrong. So it's so refreshing to see you really appreciate and analyse his voice, his music and even here appreciating his sense of humour lol Love your work and absolutely love your channel🙌👏 Been here since Jhope and J.Cole collab and loving every moment with you🙌🙏
The fact that Jin isn't even amazing at fishing too makes it even more hilarious. But you never need to be a master at something to enjoy doing it. I like fishing too 😂
Thank you for the reaction❤ Jin is an amazing person❤ He always shows his love for army. He literally did a song for us before his enlistment, made monthly messages while he’s gone along with many content. Now that he’s back, since the day one,he’s been doing so much for us without rest. Hi touch event, free concert,hugging event… I truly haven’t seen an idol doing this much for his fans.🥺 And there is super tuna😂
Jin has such a great sense of humor 💜 I’m happy you got to experience it. Bummer your video didn’t work but I’m glad we still got to see your take on the songs 😊
hello :D I wanted to explain something here! so jin has another song called moon, which is about army and his love for us! in it he explains how he's "the moon" to us and we're "the earth", and that way he orbits us with love ! so since the astronaut is about his goodbye before going to the military, he's leaving us army, aka the earth, for a little journey and coming back which at the end of the music video you can see how he returns to the girl with the bike, which also represents army in the mv and how he's been with us and left for a little while !
also, you explained super tuna perfectly well 😭 he caught a tuna and since he loves fishing he wanted to write a song about it and its actually playing around, he released it on his birthday in 2021 and told army to keep it within the fandom but it got viral, and when he went back from the military, a day later was actually bts's anniversary, and he did a live show and wrote an extended version of the song for the fans 😭 and then two months later he actually re recorded it and released the extended version with an mv and its just so hilarious how he's very embarrassed about it but army love it so much to the point where even jimmy Fallon made jin teach him the dance on his show and jin looked soooooo done the whole story of super tuna is just a comedy show and we all love it so much 😭
Warch Lee MuJin Service (Jin’s episode) Jin explains the history of the song and they sing the song. You know Jin LOVES to fish, any excuse to get to the water with a fishing pole. 💜
Super Tuna was a gift to the fans to make us Happy, and it took off - His great joy in life brought a smile to people's faces, and this song achieved it in spades - Happy was the best title for his first album in that is what he is always trying to make his fans - Happy - and Super Tuna make the world happy when it was first released - Jin has always been senses of humour - his RunJin shows have left us giggling.
I really hope you check out Moon, Abyss and Tonight as well. They all show his vocal capabilities in different genres. Most of his songs have outer space themes. Moon: about the fans viewing himself as the moon and ARMY as his earth Abyss: about his imposter syndrome and insecurities Tonight: for his pets that passed
“It’s hard to take it serious…”. 😂 He is no unserious in this amazing song, you 10000% don’t need to try to take it any other way. Every time I hear the song and/or watch the video, I can’t help but smile. This is such a demonstration of Jin’s love for ARMY!
Super Tuna was done for fun just for ARMY and he did not want it to get big, lol. There is a behind the scenes video where he talks about how and why he made this. It is so fun, and so Jin.
11:28 I think the fascination with space all started with their song Mikrokosmos, which talks about the unique light within all of us that combines together to create an entire universe. After that, the group released multiple space themed tracks, such as My Universe with Coldplay, and Jin's solo track, Moon. When BTS uses this theme, it's usually a song for their fans to show that we're all in this together. It takes more than one star to create a galaxy. It's just their unique way of showing their love for ARMY. The Astronaut also falls along these lines as a fan song that Jin intended to leave for us before he enlisted in the military.
16:10 I'm pretty sure the storyline of the MV is that Jin is the Astronaut, an alien stranded on earth after a crash landing. He's taken in by a human family while his ship is being repaired, but in the end, he decides to stay on earth with them. He chooses his adoptive family over returning to his home planet. The whole story is a symbol for Jin's military enlistment and his commitment to always return to his fans. The little girl in the video represents ARMY. Also, the newscaster on the TV is Chris Martin of Coldplay 😂
Gameboyy being a fellow "palltak palltak" enthusiast brings me deep joy lmao. Super Tuna is such a fun time and it's not meant to be taken seriously but you're right, Jin didn't skimp on the vocals regardless and it's actually a legit nice song to listen to. It was supposed to be a funny little gift to ARMY on Jin's birthday (and it's sort of his lucky fishing song that he happened to catch a tuna with after playing it on the boat). Jin begged us to just keep it simple and enjoy it privately so it could stay between him and us but we loved it too much and kept sharing it with friends and family until it went viral. Dude wanted his silly fish song to stay low key but it wound up charting at #1, blocking Taylor Swift when she'd put out her album. I don't think the Swifties ever quite forgave us for that since it's bad enough to miss #1, but it's worse to miss because of a tuna song lol. It's all a fun time though. I can't believe he deleted the original version of the song that was only the 1st verse. There were 100M streams on it on Spotify. There's a music video for that one too still on UA-cam though. You could see the original one we first saw. The "palltak palltak" part in the video was my fave thing.
Thank you for this reaction, love hearing your perspective on different songs. For The Astronaut, there's definitely a correlation with Running Wild. Nothing is a coincidence with this group. From their music videos to their lyrics to even their concepts, a lot of bts's music connects throughout the years, whether it's through their music as a group or as some of their solo work. For example, Jimin's Set Me Free pt 2 is connected to Yoongi's song Set Me Free ( only by title name and message). And as a group, their 2018 song I'm Fine is connected to their 2016 song Save Me. Finding easter eggs in their songs and music videos is so fun because it shows their creativity. Super Tuna wasn't meant to go as viral as it did but it was just too good. If you start learning about the member's personalities, you'll find out just how funny Jin is. To many people outside of army, Super Tuna must've been a complete shock watching it but as an army, that song was so Jin. The mix of his funny side with his love for fishing and his incredible vocals is amazing.
That's our Jin. He takes his happiness and ours, extremely seriously and we all love him for that. Thanks for checking super tuna out as well, it might be the extreme opposite of Another Level, for example, but they're both Jin and it is necessary to listen to both to get to know him. 😊 Really appreciate your genuine and open approach to their work, it's refreshing. Lookingl forward to the next reaction.
i would say that he’s the most real artist. he incorporates his love in fishing in Super Tuna. And did you know that Another Level is him talking about game? Every time I listen to Another Level, I am still confused whether to be amazed or to laugh or to be pumped up..
Super tunas story is like he went fishing with his friends and catch a real big tuna fish than he wanna write a song about that and if I remember right he release the song on his birthday and he says like please do not make this song popular let’s have fun among ourselves but here we are we put super tuna in the charts😅😅 (English not my first language I hope I didn’t make mistake)
Before going to group songs, please check out some of the other Jin’s solo songs like Moon, Tonight, Abyss and Yours - all of them really evocative and dreamy ☺️ happy holidays, GB! Hope you have a great time with your friends and family 💜
I am sure if you're so hooked up with the official audio & mv of The Astronaut, then when you watch it live, u will be totally obsessed. He sings with such passion and glitter in his eyes, being all happy, and hits every note perfectly so effortlessly. Mainly the Happy showcase performance
Aww I’m sorry that happened to you! But this is cool a review talking about all the little things in the video. 💜 also he’s called our moon and army is his earth 🌍
Yea he made the original Super Tuna for fun on his birthday NOT expecting it to go anywhere and in the process ACCIDENTALLY started a viral dance challenge. When he came back from the military he said I was hoping this song would just go away but Army loved it so him and the producer wrote a second verse to it.😂
As usual, you get what the members are trying to convey without really knowing them the way we do. It's nice to know their intentions are seen without being decoded.
This song was his farewell to the army before going to military service, and the day after his return he entered the stage on a bicycle singing that song, we cried a lot
Thanks GB for this reaction and for your genuineness. There are a lot of phony reactors out there and ARMY can always tell the real ones from the fake. There’s not much that I can say that others here haven’t already said. But I will tell you, when it comes to BTS, everything they do music wise is intentional. Nothing is a coincidence or thoughtless. Borahae😌💜
Jin is really hilarious! He made supertuna shorter version 3 years back on his birthday for fun, and once he came back this year, he added an extra verse! AND Yes, please! Check out BTS tiny desk! I really love it and also check out "Winter Ahead"by taehyung. It was just released recently and is mind-blowing!
What it is is I believe, Jin just “gets” life deeper than most of us. He knows how small human beings are in this vase universe and the only thing that really matters end of the day is LOVE. It’s his belief system. Storyline wise I don’t think it’s necessarily connected but that’s who he is what he believes so he reflects that in all his work consistently. My another theory? He’s just an angel sent from above lol 😂 that’s what it is.
Super Tuna... Oh dear, how to begin to explain 🤣. You're right that it's for ARMY and Jin explicitly said so, he was like please don't make it go viral this is just between us but who is he kidding 🤣 As for the quality despite the humor... Bangtan has standards, man.. They respect their art in whatever form and we love that about them 🥰🥰🥰🥰💜
Oh!!! You're back! I honestly cant wait for you to review even more of the boys work. I'm waiting for your reaction on Jimin's Lie and J-hope's Hansang and Jungkook's Euphoria. Thank you for your reactions! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Finally I Missed seeing your reaction its always a vibe with you and we appreciate you reacting to the songs because it brings such nostalgic feelings that are filled with love and hope this holiday you get to experience a lot of joy because you bring joy to us🫶💜
He did a song in 2019 or 2020 called Moon. The premise of the song is that he's the moon and ARMY's Earth and the relationship between them. I feel like in Astronaut, he crashed on Earth and found a home among ARMYS. He had to make a choice to go back to the moon or stay and he chose to stay. In Running Wild he found his happiness even though the place he adopted as his home is being destroyed. BTS, they like to connect their stories!
The Astronaut was a “see-you-later” song he released just before he enlisted. It was a very uncertain and tough time for everyone since he was the first to enlist. Coming to the video, I’m not sure if you had a chance to learn about how BTS came to be, but ever since the beginning, Jin had felt a little lost and it took him time to find his place, and more so his peace and confidence within BTS, that without him or any one of the others, there’s no BTS. It’s always the seven. This has been portrayed in the music video through him donning the role of an alien who somehow landed on Earth and could not go back to where he came from. When he sees a flicker of hope, a chance that he can go back, it’s something he thought would make him happy. But during his time on Earth, he befriends the little girl who represents ARMY. Being with her changes him as a person and he wants to make sure that she would be okay when he is not there. He’s all set to return but just as that moment arrives, he realises that there’s no place else he’d rather be than with ARMY. That “smoothest ever let’s get the fuck out of here” is actually him realizing this and rushing back home 💜 the song encapsulates Jin’s journey with himself as a person, as a musician, as an artist, and through it all, with ARMY :)
Like so many others also mentioned, please do check out the live performance of Astronaut in Argentina (Coldplay’s concert). Safe to say everyone was a crying mess that day.
Thank you for another video, as always! I haven’t finished watching this one but a notification from you never fails to bring a smile to my face! ☺️
Ok so perhaps he’s the “alien” and that’s his spaceship that landed here on earth and finding his way. That also makes that drawing of “home” make sense
@ yes! Basically how the meaning of home changed for him over time
I think for Jin (and other members) “space” often refers to trouble or alienation in some way. BUT within that space, the moon, the stars, the light in the darkness, the companion in troubles is ARMY. Here imo going to space is going to the military, afraid he may never see us again, but then we, the purple lights, surround and envelop him. Purple is always ARMY. Thats why the little girls bike is purple.

You should've seen how much trouble we got in for making this a viral dance challenge 🤣 Jin was like "NO THIS WAS A JOKE! DON'T ACTUALLY SHOW OTHER PEOPLE?!"
I remember he said : please dont listen to it. Dont make it viral. -- n we know WHAT WE SHOULD DO 😏 it was like we r in dalbang n play game with him 😂
hehe
He's a real one. This ain't some fake ass reaction channel. I love Gamboyy 310!💜
IKRRR!!! If there was any other reactor they would be like "first time listening reaction" and just pretend but GB giving it the title "review" and being honest about it. he's different 😭💜
Back here for Super Tuna supremacy. Two things: first, he wrote this song during a fishing trip, he included a shooting for a magazine for the company, because he wanted to go fishing and have no time. He framed everything on the company expenses. That's my JinHit Entertainment. Second, this was a funny birthday present for ARMY for his birthday and ended up as a viral dance challenge because we love it!. So when he got back from the military he recorded (that same night) a new version with a second verse. Super Tuna was actually in a lot of ARMY spotify wrapped. It gives you happiness.
It’s in my wrapped. 😂
I got surprised it was actually my no. 1! The Astronaut being the 2nd lmao
I’d love to see you react to J-Hope’s solo performance at Lollapalooza! It’s a great way to experience most (but not all!) the songs from his first two albums. Also his stage presence was off the charts. As an ARMY I was so proud of him! J-Hope makes great music, but I feel like he really brings it alive when he performs it.
Hobipalooza😉
Thanks for posting another one 🙏 ❤.. hope you've been fine 🙂 .. we've missed you ❤
Likewise..thanx for tappin in…All is well💪🏾💯
@@G.Rudi.B Happy Holidays!
Check out the live version of The Astronaut with Coldplay. Chris Martin does a really nice introduction for Jin. Jin traveled something like 36 hours to perform that one song during Coldplay's tour in Argentina. They've formed such a nice friendship. Side note, Chris Martin played the news reporter on the tv in the astronaut video.
I watch that performance a lot and remember being so emotional watching it. ❤
The emotion when he sang it was memorial - a version everyone should listen to
I’m going by memory here and I’m 50, so take with a grain of salt. I this I read or heard an interview where he said entering the music industry as someone who had no background in singing or dancing, he felt like didn’t belong, like an alien. When he debuted with BTS, he felt like he finally found his place. BTS is family and ARMY. He sees ARMY as Earth, he’s the moon. Separate, but symbiotic.
Super Tuna was never meant to be released on streaming platforms. It was just a funny birthday gift with 1 verse. But it went so viral that they ended up releasing it officially after months. Finally after almost 2 years he added a verse and made a whole new video and released it
There is a recurring space theme in Jin's songs. He has an older solo song called "Moon", his explanation for this song was “This song is about how the moon views the earth. I am the Moon, and ARMY is my Earth." The Astronaut was written as a goodbye song before he left to do his military service and "Running wild" is the title track of the album that he released as soon as he returned. So I'm sure that's the connection and the reason behind the theme.
Also, when you consider that CP was in the middle of Music of the Spheres, and had collaborated with BTS for My Universe, you can see the thematic continuity.
Two songs totally opposite vibes😭
TELL ME ABOUT IT😂🤦🏾♂️
Live ... watch the lives of these two songs ... 😏@@G.Rudi.B

Jin met with COLDPLAY for the song "Astronaut" and wrote it for ARMY before enlisting in the military. He performed the song as a surprise at a Coldplay concert. It was like a dream. Coldplay is playing and Jin sings. My eyes filled with tears. You should definitely watch a live concert.
Fully agree, and add "Fix You" fo you to get back into all the members, a special tribute to a song they love and the begining of an awesome relationship with Coldplay that led to "My Universe" , the behind the scenes when they first met is incredible.
Every time Jin sings that "and I love you" towards the end live is just something else. He puts so much emotion into that line every time.
Kesinlikle muhteşemdi. @@catofthecanals5562

Jin is te astronaut… he met ARMY… the relationship changed his life and he stayed on earth with ARMY!
The hilarious thing is Jin begs people not to share Super Tuna or listen to it in public. He remade this bit of fun he released on his birthday adding a verse because the huge crowds played it when Jin was waiting to carry the olympic torch in Paris. He doubled over laughing red in the face. Hes bowed to the fans love of it.
Yeah!!! You got it...That is jumping, the word - palltak palltak!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jin has this special ability to make anyone laugh.. and he never fails in that!!
Edit - He did ask us not to promote it anywhere because it was just for ARMYs. And of course we, simply agreeing to him, made the song viral and then charted it on BB charts and iTunes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 We, ARMYs are different level of unserious fandom
You mentioned Super Tuna should be used for an ad for seafood, and I just had to say IT WAS! At least sorta. There are TikTok videos of employees of tuna factories in South Korea dancing to Super Tuna. It was such a fun time when Jin released the song for fans. It never fails to make everyone laugh!
super tuna was in my spotify wrapped😂mind you i dont even have kids or anything to play it to, it was all just me😂 grown person bopping to fish song
🤘🏼
😁🥳💜
It is catchy 😂 you can’t help but bop to it. If this song comes up on my Spotify, I don’t even skip it hahahaha.
I will never be made more sad than by the fact that we were robbed of your initial reaction to Super Tuna XDDD
I bump Super Tuna loud af every time it comes on when I'm driving. IT GIVES ME LIFE!!!
Jin: Army, this song is embarrassing, please don't chart it!
Army: Immediately chart this....... XD
It was also half as long, but Jin loves Army so much he added a new verse to it after he came back from his enlistment because he knows we love Super Tuna. SUPER TUNA, FOREVER!! x)
The Astronaut was a gift to us at a very difficult time. He was the first one to leave us for military and it was the dread of not having him with us for next 18 mnths plus all the uncertainties of post-return time frame. The Astronaut was a reassurance that he will always come back to us. That even if he was drifting away aimlessly before, he found home with us and he will be back home soon.
Running Wild is him promising that he will stay along our side till the very end. Even if the world around us crumbles, our home will stay intact & safe, as long as we our together.
But before all this was a song called Moon. He says he is our moon and we are his earth. That his existence is purely tied in to ours.
Given how ethereally beautiful Seokjin is (both inside and out) I think it makes sense that every time we need a metaphor to describe his presence in our lives it has to be outer worldly. Something beyond our universe.
Jin is actually the alien in this one. He chose to stay when his ship left because of the relationships he developed. This was a song to tell ARMY that, even though he was going to be gone for a while (his enlistment) he would not leave us, and he loves ARMY. Chris Martin of Coldplay wrote this song and gave it to Jin who worked it into a love song for ARMY. Thank you for your review. 💜
You are spot on that there is always a message to crack and Easter Eggs to find. You noticed the crossword puzzle. He also has ARMY written in Braille on his neck in The Astronaut, he has his guitar from Chris in the room and the Coldplay posters on the wall. As someone already said, he also references his song Moon in which he says ARMY is his earth. The purple nebula that he stands in resembles the view for him of the purple ocean that is ARMY at a concert. His performance in Argentina brought ARMY to tears. Coldplay livestreamed the concert in theatres so ARMY could watch around the world. Jin also did 2 travel log Bangtan bombs about his trip that you might want to check out along with the performance video. Super Tuna is pure Jin, he lives for making ARMY and his members smile. We are so spoiled as a fandom! Thank you for continuing to show love and enjoyment with all your reactions to BTS. #Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Edited to add that related to fishing, Jin recently put out a couple of Bangtan Bombs about his tuna fishing trip. JHope narrated the videos like it was a BBC documentary. It was very cute and funny. He also did a series of videos a couple of weeks ago which were a game where ARMY chose the outcome of the video that led you through the story. Some were good choices, most were hilarious.
Jin does a lot for ARMY that no other singer or idol would do. He had to know when he told ARMY not to chart Super Tuna that we would make it viral.
Chris Martin and his son, Moses, provided background vocals for The Astronaut. Jin traveled to Argentina to perform this song at a Coldplay concert right before enlisting. I hope you check that out with the introduction Chris did for him, it's so sweet and genuine💜🐙
It's amazing you said you could hear retro gaming sounds in super tuna, he is into gaming. Jins character is also very young at heart/jokesta... if you watch more stage performances, you may start to see it more 💜
Exam tmw but I'm here cuz it's GB AND JIN!!!!!!!!
Good luck on that exam💯💯
wishing u lots of luck. Fighting.
My Favourite Reactor is Here 😌👌
To feel Christmas - I can recommend you something... Taehyung released two new songs.. One is a jazz song called 'Winter Ahead (feat. Park Hyo Shin)'... And another is - you gonna be surprised - White Christmas (with Bing Crosby). Bing's team reached out to Tae if he wanted to be a part of it and he said yes, because he is a big fan of him. Bing's voice was carefully taken out the og song using advanced tech. (no AI) and Tae had his part. These two songs are right up the very holiday season!!
Happy holidays to you too!!!
such a loss that we didn't get to see your first reaction to super tuna but so glad that you still decided to share this review with us, jin doesn't take himself seriously, he's the mood maker and light of bts said by the own members so super tuna is the most jin song ever, so glad you got to see a part of his personality. pleaseee watch suchwita episodes for every member 🙏🏻
Thanks GameBoyy for being always down to earth of being yourself with your thoughts.
I agree with you about "Christmas not feeling like Christmas" -- especially in the U.S. where many of us are drained of what's happened here, but continue to stay happy, healthy and wise.💜
I think that’s what it is honestly…lotta traumatic event..real emotional times now
11:26 (fellow armys correct me if i'm wrong) i don't think he's ever talked about being "infatuated" in extraterrestrial life, but he does has another song called 'Moon', so he might be into it to some degree. he might also got inspired by Coldplay, whose last album was space/universe-themed. but yea i do believe The Astronaut and Running Wild are kinda connected, especially because The Astronaut is a goodbye song before he left for military, while Running Wild is a comeback song
Yeees I thought the same thing 🙏
Thank you for not being fake and re-react for the sake of entertainment. We love your Indepth.
Also yeah for Super Tuna it's quite on point since Jin is a gamer 😁
Super tuna was a joke/gift for Army on Jins birthday.
@BritanieRallison I know. I was referring to the intro tune Gameboy mentioned
"seriously unserious" is literally what super tuna is and what Jin is when he wants to create humour 😂
Señor! I hope this holiday's work time hasn't been too crazy. Excited about this.
Definitely crazy..but busy is 👍🏾
30:14 the funniest thing about this is that he made the song while on a fishing trip w his producer and went all the way to make choreography, and he wanted us to keep it amongst ourselves as fans but it quickly went super viral like baby shark did. (this is actually version two where he added a second verse. the original was just a choreography video to a shorter version of the song, came out a couple yrs ago!)
On Jin’s Birthday just before he went into the military, during his live stream he gifted ARMY Super Tuna. There was a different video. He told ARMY it was just for us and not to do dance challenges and make it go viral. Well us ARMY did just the opposite. The next day Tik Tok was flooded with dance challenges. It went viral and surpassed Baby Shark.
The day after Jin came out of the military he performed Super Tuna live and added a second verse to it and ARMY went nuts. He gave us a brand new video.
You mentioned Super Tuna sounded like a video game. Jin is a gamer. He actually goes live and streams himself playing games. 😉
Another level is about playing video games. Challenge yourself to not give up and keep pushing forward until you get to another level.
Jin is fascinated with space. He has a song called Moon. BTS has several songs about space, Microcosmos & 134340 about Pluto. They have a collaboration with Coldplay called My Universe (space themed).
Happy Holidays! Can’t wait for your next reaction!
Tiny desk with the whole group gets my vote!
Jin is the one whos always trying to make everyone feel relax, he does a lot of funny things. I love his sense of humor, I love your reacts to them, they are so real like, even in a unserious way you still see their true colors. Love it.
You definitely one of the real ones. We don't like fake reactions either so a review of the songs is definitely a nice solution to the screen recording problem you had. Plus, I not only enjoy your reactions, but also enjoy your review and analysis as well so this was the perfect resolution. If you haven't already, check out the live performance of The Astronaut with Coldplay.
Btw...the universe and galaxy is not just with Jin... it's with BTS overall. There's a whole fictional storyline called Bangtan (BTS) Universe which I'm not gonna go into because it's super complicated and a whole other level on its own. When the concept of universe or galaxy come up, I automatically think of BTS and ARMY. There's definitely a connection between the artist and fan... it's our own universe, our own galaxy. 😊💜
It's a good time to watch ddaeng where all 7 of them rap live!
He did Ddaeng with the explanation video. totally worth watching. He didn't disappoint. It was when he first started getting into reacting to BTS. The authenticity of his reaction was amazing.
But here didnt watching with seven of them yet @@dere2879
@dere2879 Yes, I know. That's why it would be good to see it with the 7 of them. So that he can see another side of them together.
Agreed! That would be also cool! 🤩
Omg! You are one of the rare reactors who truly appreciate Jin! ❤Another level is my fav! Jin is a Jinius! BTS a never do anything half heartedly! Jin wants Army to laugh and you did!
2:03 this right here is why you're thee reactor for me. you're so genuine and authentic among a sea of fake people reacting for clout. we appreciate you!!
Thank you for still redoing the video and being honest with already seeing it. I would of Loved to see your original reaction to Super Tuna though lool 😂
You need to see The Astronaut's live performance with Coldplay at River Plate In Buenos Aires , you will notice that the harmonies are done by Chris 🥹💜
Many comments have mentioned Moon, but BTS also has a song called Mikrocosmos as well as a collab with Coldplay called My Universe. It has been a theme that ARMY are the stars in their universe and The Astronaut was his way of saying goodbye for military service.
Jin's discography is wild because you can go from bawling your eyes out to Epiphany to yelling PALTAK PALTAK 🤣
And yeah, Super tuna is a super unserious song taken really seriously, Jin actually performed a rockish version at his showcase a few weeks ago and it was top tier, even when joking you can trust BTS to be serious about music.

Oh he might also like the 2 new winter time Christmas songs by V since it's that time of year "Winter Ahead feat. Park Hyo Shin" and Bing Crosby x V (of BTS) "White Christmas" although I will say I wish I had watched the "Winter Ahead (Cinematic Still Ver.)" first instead which essentially is an official lyric video cuz I got so distracted by trying to figure out the mysterious Winter Ahead Official MV I couldn't take the song in properly lol. Any of these suggestions would be great of course though, whatever he wants to check out. "A Guide to BTS Members" by Taylor Mari would be excellent since he's gotten to hear all the members now, it still has some good info.
Jimin's albums: Face first, then Muse (not Mute) next..
I second the Hobipalloza suggestions Hobi -sorry i mean Jay- on stage is such an experience his stage presence of the roof,. PLEASE PLEASE do Hobipalloza next.
GameBoyy310, I appreciate your honesty!💜💜💜
When you said there is a co relation to The Astronaut and Running Wild, I agree with you 100%, felt that too... and the lyrics, The Astronaut was released before he got enlisted and it's saying that he will just be gone for a while but he loves us (Armys) so he'll be back. Then Running Wild, felt like he's back and he will be with us til he gets old, when he always says that he wants to peform for Armys til he gets super old. Anyway, thank you for always giving us a great review/reaction on BTSs discography, you'll always be my fave vid reactor. 💜
If you miss the 7 together, I don't think you ever checked out Spine Breaker. Although the theme is not particularly funny (the song is about class differences in Korean society) Jin choreographed it... you'll recognise his sense of humor in the MV.
omg i can't believe we got robbed of your initial Super Tuna reaction!! FYI-this is the extended version. The original song was about half the length and had a much simpler video.
FOR NEXT:: if you are going to be revisiting j-hope, his latest album is a dance-focused album and not a rap heavy, so I'd rec the title track "Neuron".
I also still vehemently want you to watch j-hope performing at Lollapalooza 2022! he gives an incredible performance that goes through most of his discography, left the crowd (me included) totally breathless, and the set is only 1h.
BTS are the most genuine down to earth people! Super deep and talented but super funny and loving too!
There's a Suchwita episode with Jin that I would like you to watch.
You are seriously amazing!!! Thank you so much for making this video for us especially after losing your reaction , we appreciate it so much!!
Love your review of 'The Astronaut'.
And I love that you understood 'Super Tuna' is definitely his silly, fun song😆😅
He released this song for fun on his birthday I think 3 years ago and created a viral dance challenge😂😂
He's such a crackup!!!
This MV you watched is a new one which is an extended version with the new verse he released after his military service lol
He sang the extended version in a mini concert he held for 2,000 fans the day after he came home
I like that you picked up on the game style music because gaming and fishing are his favourite hobbies so it's definitely intentional.
He talks about his love for fishing but that he's never caught a tuna so this MV showing him proposing to a tuna, asking it to take his hook just sent me 🤣🤣🤣
No one can pull this kind of quirky, silly weirdness but Jin😆
He is such an awesome person and always giving so much love to his fans. He loves making us happy and he sure gives us plenty to smile and be happy about❤️❤️❤️
I've really appreciated your videos of Jin's work. So many people don't get him and don't appreciate the value he brings to BTS, and discredit him saying he doesn't deserve his spot which is so infuriating to hear cos they're so wrong. So it's so refreshing to see you really appreciate and analyse his voice, his music and even here appreciating his sense of humour lol
Love your work and absolutely love your channel🙌👏 Been here since Jhope and J.Cole collab and loving every moment with you🙌🙏
That’s our Seokjinnie! 😂 Always true to himself haha
He performed HAPPY album and also The Astronaut live on "Happy special stage" maybe you'll want to watch live performances as well.
Super Tuna! Jin loves his fans!!!
And here I am thinking I'm the only one attached to "Paltak paltak" 😂
Thank you for your reaction (and review 😉) to BTS videos; I always love seeing them.💜Happy Holidays to you!
The fact that Jin isn't even amazing at fishing too makes it even more hilarious. But you never need to be a master at something to enjoy doing it. I like fishing too 😂
Thank you for the reaction❤
Jin is an amazing person❤ He always shows his love for army. He literally did a song for us before his enlistment, made monthly messages while he’s gone along with many content. Now that he’s back, since the day one,he’s been doing so much for us without rest. Hi touch event, free concert,hugging event… I truly haven’t seen an idol doing this much for his fans.🥺
And there is super tuna😂
Jin has such a great sense of humor 💜 I’m happy you got to experience it. Bummer your video didn’t work but I’m glad we still got to see your take on the songs 😊
hello :D
I wanted to explain something here! so jin has another song called moon, which is about army and his love for us! in it he explains how he's "the moon" to us and we're "the earth", and that way he orbits us with love !
so since the astronaut is about his goodbye before going to the military, he's leaving us army, aka the earth, for a little journey and coming back which at the end of the music video you can see how he returns to the girl with the bike, which also represents army in the mv and how he's been with us and left for a little while !
also, you explained super tuna perfectly well 😭 he caught a tuna and since he loves fishing he wanted to write a song about it and its actually playing around, he released it on his birthday in 2021 and told army to keep it within the fandom but it got viral, and when he went back from the military, a day later was actually bts's anniversary, and he did a live show and wrote an extended version of the song for the fans 😭 and then two months later he actually re recorded it and released the extended version with an mv and its just so hilarious how he's very embarrassed about it but army love it so much to the point where even jimmy Fallon made jin teach him the dance on his show and jin looked soooooo done
the whole story of super tuna is just a comedy show and we all love it so much 😭
Warch Lee MuJin Service (Jin’s episode) Jin explains the history of the song and they sing the song. You know Jin LOVES to fish, any excuse to get to the water with a fishing pole. 💜
Super Tuna was a gift to the fans to make us Happy, and it took off - His great joy in life brought a smile to people's faces, and this song achieved it in spades - Happy was the best title for his first album in that is what he is always trying to make his fans - Happy - and Super Tuna make the world happy when it was first released - Jin has always been senses of humour - his RunJin shows have left us giggling.
JHope & JK "I Wonder" was on Hope's new album. And did you hear Suga & Hope "HUH?!" from Agust D's "D Dayalbum" !
I love love love love Super Tuna music video. it warms my heart.
I really hope you check out Moon, Abyss and Tonight as well. They all show his vocal capabilities in different genres. Most of his songs have outer space themes.
Moon: about the fans viewing himself as the moon and ARMY as his earth
Abyss: about his imposter syndrome and insecurities
Tonight: for his pets that passed
“It’s hard to take it serious…”. 😂 He is no unserious in this amazing song, you 10000% don’t need to try to take it any other way. Every time I hear the song and/or watch the video, I can’t help but smile. This is such a demonstration of Jin’s love for ARMY!
Super Tuna was done for fun just for ARMY and he did not want it to get big, lol. There is a behind the scenes video where he talks about how and why he made this. It is so fun, and so Jin.
Astronaut was the song he left Armys with before he enlisted. 😢
11:28 I think the fascination with space all started with their song Mikrokosmos, which talks about the unique light within all of us that combines together to create an entire universe. After that, the group released multiple space themed tracks, such as My Universe with Coldplay, and Jin's solo track, Moon. When BTS uses this theme, it's usually a song for their fans to show that we're all in this together. It takes more than one star to create a galaxy. It's just their unique way of showing their love for ARMY. The Astronaut also falls along these lines as a fan song that Jin intended to leave for us before he enlisted in the military.
16:10 I'm pretty sure the storyline of the MV is that Jin is the Astronaut, an alien stranded on earth after a crash landing. He's taken in by a human family while his ship is being repaired, but in the end, he decides to stay on earth with them. He chooses his adoptive family over returning to his home planet. The whole story is a symbol for Jin's military enlistment and his commitment to always return to his fans. The little girl in the video represents ARMY. Also, the newscaster on the TV is Chris Martin of Coldplay 😂
Gameboyy being a fellow "palltak palltak" enthusiast brings me deep joy lmao. Super Tuna is such a fun time and it's not meant to be taken seriously but you're right, Jin didn't skimp on the vocals regardless and it's actually a legit nice song to listen to. It was supposed to be a funny little gift to ARMY on Jin's birthday (and it's sort of his lucky fishing song that he happened to catch a tuna with after playing it on the boat). Jin begged us to just keep it simple and enjoy it privately so it could stay between him and us but we loved it too much and kept sharing it with friends and family until it went viral. Dude wanted his silly fish song to stay low key but it wound up charting at #1, blocking Taylor Swift when she'd put out her album. I don't think the Swifties ever quite forgave us for that since it's bad enough to miss #1, but it's worse to miss because of a tuna song lol. It's all a fun time though. I can't believe he deleted the original version of the song that was only the 1st verse. There were 100M streams on it on Spotify. There's a music video for that one too still on UA-cam though. You could see the original one we first saw. The "palltak palltak" part in the video was my fave thing.
Thank you for this reaction, love hearing your perspective on different songs.
For The Astronaut, there's definitely a correlation with Running Wild. Nothing is a coincidence with this group. From their music videos to their lyrics to even their concepts, a lot of bts's music connects throughout the years, whether it's through their music as a group or as some of their solo work. For example, Jimin's Set Me Free pt 2 is connected to Yoongi's song Set Me Free ( only by title name and message). And as a group, their 2018 song I'm Fine is connected to their 2016 song Save Me. Finding easter eggs in their songs and music videos is so fun because it shows their creativity.
Super Tuna wasn't meant to go as viral as it did but it was just too good. If you start learning about the member's personalities, you'll find out just how funny Jin is. To many people outside of army, Super Tuna must've been a complete shock watching it but as an army, that song was so Jin. The mix of his funny side with his love for fishing and his incredible vocals is amazing.
Was checking earlier if a new video was posted yet, and got lost watching old videos!
So excited to watch! 🎉
That's our Jin. He takes his happiness and ours, extremely seriously and we all love him for that. Thanks for checking super tuna out as well, it might be the extreme opposite of Another Level, for example, but they're both Jin and it is necessary to listen to both to get to know him. 😊 Really appreciate your genuine and open approach to their work, it's refreshing. Lookingl forward to the next reaction.
i would say that he’s the most real artist. he incorporates his love in fishing in Super Tuna. And did you know that Another Level is him talking about game? Every time I listen to Another Level, I am still confused whether to be amazed or to laugh or to be pumped up..
i love to wake up in the morning and dance to super tuna as my daily routine it gives me a boost of Energy
The black spots in the cross word puzzle is a braille message 'for Army', btw
Super tunas story is like he went fishing with his friends and catch a real big tuna fish than he wanna write a song about that and if I remember right he release the song on his birthday and he says like please do not make this song popular let’s have fun among ourselves but here we are we put super tuna in the charts😅😅 (English not my first language I hope I didn’t make mistake)
Before going to group songs, please check out some of the other Jin’s solo songs like Moon, Tonight, Abyss and Yours - all of them really evocative and dreamy ☺️ happy holidays, GB! Hope you have a great time with your friends and family 💜
I am sure if you're so hooked up with the official audio & mv of The Astronaut, then when you watch it live, u will be totally obsessed. He sings with such passion and glitter in his eyes, being all happy, and hits every note perfectly so effortlessly. Mainly the Happy showcase performance
Aww I’m sorry that happened to you! But this is cool a review talking about all the little things in the video. 💜 also he’s called our moon and army is his earth 🌍
Yea he made the original Super Tuna for fun on his birthday NOT expecting it to go anywhere and in the process ACCIDENTALLY started a viral dance challenge. When he came back from the military he said I was hoping this song would just go away but Army loved it so him and the producer wrote a second verse to it.😂
As usual, you get what the members are trying to convey without really knowing them the way we do. It's nice to know their intentions are seen without being decoded.
This song was his farewell to the army before going to military service, and the day after his return he entered the stage on a bicycle singing that song, we cried a lot
The Astronaut was a gift to ARMYs before Jin entered the military.
Jin performs the song with Coldplay.
Jin's humor is amazing. Love him for it.
Hello again! I’m excited for this reaction. Go Jin!
Thanks GB for this reaction and for your genuineness. There are a lot of phony reactors out there and ARMY can always tell the real ones from the fake. There’s not much that I can say that others here haven’t already said. But I will tell you, when it comes to BTS, everything they do music wise is intentional. Nothing is a coincidence or thoughtless. Borahae😌💜
You are getting me to think more deeply about his music. Thanks! Many meteors, spaceships, and other space debris are constantly hitting BTS and Jin.
Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster. I’m dying 😂😭🤣
Jin is really hilarious! He made supertuna shorter version 3 years back on his birthday for fun, and once he came back this year, he added an extra verse!
AND
Yes, please! Check out BTS tiny desk! I really love it and also check out "Winter Ahead"by taehyung. It was just released recently and is mind-blowing!
"Seriously Unserious" is the best way to describe Jin 😂
What it is is I believe, Jin just “gets” life deeper than most of us. He knows how small human beings are in this vase universe and the only thing that really matters end of the day is LOVE. It’s his belief system. Storyline wise I don’t think it’s necessarily connected but that’s who he is what he believes so he reflects that in all his work consistently.
My another theory? He’s just an angel sent from above lol 😂 that’s what it is.
Super Tuna... Oh dear, how to begin to explain 🤣. You're right that it's for ARMY and Jin explicitly said so, he was like please don't make it go viral this is just between us but who is he kidding 🤣
As for the quality despite the humor... Bangtan has standards, man.. They respect their art in whatever form and we love that about them 🥰🥰🥰🥰💜
Oh!!! You're back!
I honestly cant wait for you to review even more of the boys work. I'm waiting for your reaction on Jimin's Lie and J-hope's Hansang and Jungkook's Euphoria.
Thank you for your reactions! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
All those and more please!
Finally I Missed seeing your reaction its always a vibe with you and we appreciate you reacting to the songs because it brings such nostalgic feelings that are filled with love and hope this holiday you get to experience a lot of joy because you bring joy to us🫶💜
He did a song in 2019 or 2020 called Moon. The premise of the song is that he's the moon and ARMY's Earth and the relationship between them. I feel like in Astronaut, he crashed on Earth and found a home among ARMYS. He had to make a choice to go back to the moon or stay and he chose to stay. In Running Wild he found his happiness even though the place he adopted as his home is being destroyed. BTS, they like to connect their stories!
this!
This the kind of duality and range that is so characteristically Jin.
