- Hey everyone! Welcome back to the MCD of WCR channel! Today I am diving back into the world of K-pop with my very first reaction to BTS (방탄소년단)! As a long-time rapper and producer, I've heard so much about BTS and their global phenomenon, but I've never really sat down to experience their music and performances first-hand.
Join me on this journey as we embark on the BTS adventure! From their catchy tunes to their mesmerizing choreography, I'll be sharing my initial thoughts and reactions as I watch some of their most iconic music videos and performances.
I picked 3 tracks from the comments in my last video to react to for the very first time!
As a newcomer to the BTS fandom, I am excited to see what all the hype is about and discover what makes them one of the biggest music acts in the world. Whether you're a die-hard ARMY or someone curious about K-pop, I hope you'll join me for this exciting ride!
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy this video, and let me know in the comments which BTS songs and performances I should react to next! Thank you so much for watching, and let's dive into the world of BTS together! 🎶💜

There’s zero cuts in ‘Save me’. They’ve done quite a few behind the scenes for their mv’s and ‘Save me’ is one of them. Absolutely everything’s choreographed including the cameraman. It’s hilarious watching them all run around behind the cameraman when they’re not in shot. ‘Dope’ isn’t a one shot, it’s just really well edited. ‘Louder than bombs’ doesn’t have an mv (although there’s a pretty decent fan made one) but it’s definitely worth a listen as the layering in it is stunning.✌️💜
I love the making of the video for Save Me
Try Daechwita from Agust D (=Suga from BTS), then Haegum and Amygdala. Also Wildflower from RM and Arson from JHope. If you didn't see On (Kinetic Manifesto Film) yet, then watch this too. Blood sweat and tears is a must too.
Noted! 🖤🖤
Agree. You will love Agust-D
Yes to these ones! 💜
Save Me is one shot, Dope has a few very clever cuts that you have to search for.
BTS makes albums to listen to. That's why their B-sides are a treasure trove for Army. We like the title tracks, but a lot of our favorite songs are B-sides.
You might like “I’m Fine” which is the corresponding song to “Save Me.” The instrumental is actually the same just played backwards, there is no mv.
You should watch the behind the scenes of Save Me. It really demonstrates how hard a one-take video can be especially when you see how miserable the weather really was.
For sure! I’ve filmed a couple myself:)
For Black Swan you picked up on the shadow play. The song is based in the Jungian concept of the Shadow ( which is representing one's hidden fears). The cool Shadow dance in the background for Suga and above the ceiling for RM and the sets, were performed by Jimin who also danced the Solo part and the wing spread part. The bass beat against the strings in the cool and wide expanse of some parts of the set, represented the heartbeat, depicting when the burntout artist no longer feels his heart racing with thrill for his craft. The song was based on Martha Graham's quote that a dancer dies twice, when he stops dancing, and it is this first death that is more painful. Parts of the movie Black Swan was cameod in Jin's mirrors reflection scene, Balcony scene and Jimin's Black Wings.
Hi ArmyFam, if I remember correctly from the BangtanBomb , the ceiling shadow above RM was actually Jhope …😉💟
@@armymomot7931 ok, thanks!
UK ARMY here. Great reaction and from your comments I think you would really enjoy their behind the scenes shooting sketches for their videos. Especially Save Me. You were right, the cameraman got a real workout that day!
I got into BTS through the rap line and I don't know how many reactors I have watched who said 'oh these guys can RAP rap'.
BTS started with 3 rappers so that set the tone and has a massive influence on them along with R&B and hip hop.
Can't wait for your next video.💜
They definitely can! I’m very new to BTS and Kpop in general but both BTS and Stray Kids have excellent rappers - possibly the thing that surprised me most!
You might enjoy BTS Tiny Desk concert, with a small live band, they sang Save Me as one of the songs.
Alternatively a dip into BTS watch Festa Room Live 2021, a medley of a few of their songs, raps etc, will give you an idea of where you might like to investigate next.
Agree. Great idea.
Interesting that you picked up on the Shadow and Light theme in Black Swan. This is from their album Map of the Soul: 7. The album explores the themes of the work of Carl Jung. Our inner selves: The Ego, The Persona, The Shadow. Each of the rapline have a song on the album with these titles (RM - Persona, SUGA - Shadow, J-Hope - Ego) Great album!
The song Black Swan addresses the fear of losing the passion for your art based on a quote from Martha Graham (a world renowned choreographer) who said "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing and this first death is the more painful."
Oh damn! That is a profoundly beautiful quote - thank you for sharing 😊
@@MCDofWCR The lyrics explore these feelings of losing it and feeling like they're drowning. As the song progresses, the lyrics turn to the feeling of conquering this artistic block. It's really cool. The visuals are really striking in this video. The white and black of the light and shadow against the backdrop of this ornate, beautiful theatre. I always interpreted the theatre to represent their artistic output and the monochrome of them to represent the stagnation artists can often feel when experiencing burnout. Interesting.
@@MCDofWCR Also, Happy Birthday! 🥳
💜Make drop, UGH!, Outro: Tear, Arson, More, Wild Flower, Not Today, ON kinetic Manifesto film, Deachwita, Haegeum, Snooze....💜
They mean MIC DROP, preferably the Steve Aoki remix MV.
Great recs and rapline solo recommendations. I'll add Louder Than Bombs and Butterfly and he'll love We Are Bulletproof Pt2 and of course Festa Room Live
For vocal line I'll add Film Out blue version: and solos-- Jin Epiphany and Moon, Jimin Set Me Free Pt2, Lie; V Tiny Desk Concert, JK Standing Next To You and Stay Alive
Glad you decided to do your own reaction to explore BTS. Really appreciate your commentary and attention to details, which I think you'll enjoy about their lyrics/MV/musicality. Take your time if you want to pause or go back to catch something, Army like lonng videos like this 💜
There is a lovely behind the scenes for Save Me. And you were singing Dope 💜
The ballet is Swan Lake. About an evil/ black swan and a good/white swan, in many modern productions they are played by the same dancer, symbolizing the struggle within ourselves between light and dark. BTS has a whole series of songs about the shadowself. You noticed all the playing with light and dark, black and white. I also loved how much you appreciated the atmosphere that is created. It’s my favorite blend of melancholy and interesting beats.
😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻
Save me was a tour de force. The weather was appalling, they had to run around the cameraman who was a real superman. If you watch the behind the scenes you’ll find out more. It has a companion piece called, I’m Fine. If you find the right live production you’ll see one morph into the other. Dope isn’t a one shot, it even has a little green screen which is unusual for BTS mvs. Black Swan is very balletic. You can see Jimin filming his dance part and there is a production of this where JK and Jimin do a pas de deux. The stage production for their Permission to Dance tour is very dramatic and not to be missed. The mv was shot in a disused theatre in L.A. and the mirrored room Jin stands in is the ladies bathroom. Again, watch the behind the scenes for that shoot.
You should see the filming of Save Me. It really was one shot and was a very horrible day with the weather. The way they hid behind the camera guy is so funny.
I will definitely check it out as I think it’s super cool that it was done in 1 shot:)
Hi MCD, Happy Birthday, and welcome to the rabbit hole! Cool to see someone who actually knows something about music making and videography appreciating the craft that goes into these MVs. Dope is one of my favourites too… Note the talented in-house producer on these tracks is PDogg. He is bold and experimental, very versatile and proficient in multi genres. He is sometimes dubbed the 8th member of BTS. The art director doing most of their videos from the beginning is Yong-Seok Choi, from Lumpens.
Here are some links to live performances I think you might enjoy:

Their discography is incredibly wide!! They have songs for every music genre existing and they slay in every single one of their songs. Every album is a non skip album. Its hard to suggest songs!!
Happy very belated birthday. I hope it was fabulous. Save Me is a message to ARMY that they were saved by being able to make and share their music with the world because of their fans support and love. It’s also about their fears about not being able to do this in the future, if they were to “fall”. Dope is one of my favorites. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Great mix of songs to get a feel for their versatility. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The child of dope is fire

Happy birthday! I also discovered BTS a few months ago and they completely blew me away. I've never seen so much talent and diversity in a group before both in their group and solo songs. They literally do it, they do all genres, and their lyrics are powerful touching on things like mental health, societal expectations from youth, and self love.
I would recommend Mic drop (Steve Aoki remix) and Not today since you like upbeat music but let us know your favorite genres so we could give you more suggestions 👏
Thank you for the birthday wishes! My favourite two genres are metal/rock and hip hop:)

@@sarahomar8351 awesome! Thank you for this list! I definitely plan to check them out when I get back from holiday 🖤
Can't wait! Hope you enjoy your BTS journey 💜
Dope filmed in 24 hour straight shoot , no sleep.
Not Today (MV), Jump (Live - BTSPurpleYou Channel)), Attack on Bangtan (Live - MBCkpop Channel). These are my 3 recommendations for your next reaction. I like your thoughtful, intelligent observations in your reactions. Keep going I'll sub for more please :)
Not Today was the one Lee Know from Stray Kids was a dancer on.
this was a one camera take, . they had to wait out the rain. nope no cuts, there is a behind the scenes video of this. they openly talk about all their work. Dope is not a one shot. AS you see more MV you will see how good their crew is. amazing, all of them. Some are like movie's. Enjoying your reactions very much.
Thank you so much for watching:)
5:49 Hi, we may watch the behind the scenes ! They are cool and Army will watch with you.
no cuts in save me, you can watch the behind the scenes
Try these for rap songs: change by wale & RM, joke, ddeng, cyper 1-4, mic drop, more, personna, hangsang, hope in the street, ugh. There's more if you just keep on searching
I’ve done mic drop over on the white collar rhymes channel (the Steve Aoki version) but I will check these out!
You should watch the behind of the Save Me MV shoot. The choreography of them running behind the camera as well as the camera man himself.
I’m so glad you picked up on the shadow imagery going through Black Swan. I know others have filled you in on Jung, but if you go back and watch, the progression of the shadows from looming at the beginning through the video is really cool. They used some standard dance lighting, which I love. Lots of down pools and back lighting plus some to emphasize and pop their bodies while dancing. It’s really gorgeous and is the MV that sent me down the rabbit hole.
I really liked hearing your input on the music and mixing too.
Thank you so much for watching - yes, the black swan video really is artistically beautiful 🖤
Hey there, Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉 love your reaction! Smart, perceptive and attentive to details.
Thank you so much 😁
Watching concert
footage of Dope makes my chest hurt from lack of oxygen. 😵
Black Swan is about the fear of losing their passion for their music and art. The bump, bump, bump is the sound of their heart beating and that it feels like it’s going to jump, jump, jump out of their chest from the anxiety. Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm sorry if you've mentioned it and I missed it but it's importnat to point out that all 7 boys have a lot to do with their music - they produce and write their own lyrics which I think it's very importnat in this time and day. I hope you appreciate it as a musician yourself
Happy Birthday, I gave you a gift. Liked & Subscribed
The best gift of all! Thank you 😊🖤
Happy Birthday!🎉 i like your reaction!🫰
Thank you 😊
happy birthday!! i love your reaction, and also welcome to the fandom! i joined in 2021 and it's definitely overwhelming at first since there's so much content to dive into and you don't even know where to start but it's all so worth it!!
Thank you 🙏
Loved your reaction to black swan. BTW "Happy Birthday to you and many more." We don't mind you pausing or going back. I love to watch black swan and see them dance and sing. Enjoy your journey. We are here for you.
May I suggest pipe piper. Stay safe.❤😊
Happy Belated Birthday. Please watch the making of.
Great reaction! Hope you continue to enjoy your BTS journey.
Happy (belated) Birthday!! Really enjoy your reactions.
Thank you so much 😊
they have done such wonderful live performances of black swan with new elements
You would probably enjoy the 'making of...behind the scenes' of Save Me.... enjoy at your leisure.
Happy belated birthday. 🎉 Enjoying your journey and perspective even though I may be going a little out of order. Cheers. Edit...the wings were practical. A lot of crazy things in their MVs that seem like CGI are actually not. 😊
Oh really? That’s amazing! Thank you for watching 😊🖤
Actually the black wings on Jimin in the mv is actually CGI, if I remember correctly. They have used real black wings for concept photos and jk's snty but in the behind the scenes footage it's just Jimin raising his hands, as far as I can recall.
You have amazing attention to detail 🌸
Thank you!
Louder than bombs.
Ooooh I like your analyses. Good observations ❤
Happy Birthday!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you!
Your review was very knowledgable. Nice job.
Thank you! 🖤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY..... 🎉🎈🎁🎂💜
Thank you! 😊
Happy Birthday from Singapore! 💜
Thank you so much 😊🖤
I'm a little bit bummed.
When I saw that the video was 20min. and you started to watch 'Save me ' I really thought you would watch the behind the scenes video!
Maybe another time ?!
Absolutely! I will definitely do that when I’m back from holiday next week:) interested to see how they did it?
Happy Birthday 💜💜
Thank you! 🖤
Happy Belated Birthday subscribed and liked. I'll share also :)

Happy Birthday 🎂😊

This is going to be a long post so I apologize
1st of all Happy Birthday !🎂🎉
2nd Love love your reactions
Now a little history, BTS is a 7 member group with 3 Rappers ( RM, Suga, J-hope ) 4 vocalist Jungkook, Jin, V & Jimin - They debut in 2013 at which time they were known as a hip hop group, but later things changed and they have done many different genre, POP, EDM, LATIN POP, RAP, BALLADS etc…….
Here is a list of a few songs you will enjoy from their hip hop days:
NO
No more dream
We are bulletproof part 2
Jump
Attack on Bangtan
Paldogangsan
Boy in love
Now songs sung by the rapline only: RM, Suga, J-hope
Ugh
Outro: Tear
Ddaeng
Hip hop phile
Cypher part 1
Cypher part 2 : Triptych
Cypher part 3 : Killer
Cypher part 4
Solo from RM he has 2 mixtapes RM & Mono and 1 album Indigo so anything from these are great my fav:
Moonchild
Joke
Still life with Anderson Paak
All Day with Tablo
Anything from Suga under his alter Ego Agust D which stands for Suga backward D T stands for Daegu Town where he was born, he has 2 mix tapes Agust D, D-2 and 1 album D Day
Fav songs:
Dear my friend
The last
Give it to me
From D-2:
Daechwita
Strange with RM
Burn it with Max
D Day:
D Day
Haegeum
Amygdala
SDL
Snooze
Polar night
Little note, the reason he chose an alter ego was during his younger years he had a lot of anger which he didn’t think fit with the BTS sound he has said that after D Day he is retiring Agust D the song Amygdala is a song about his real life struggles with anxiety, ocd, drug ( prescription ones ) suicidal thoughts this is also referenced in his 1st mixtape Agust D
Finally J-Hope he has 1 mix tape Hoeworld and 1 album JITB ( Jack in the Box ) fav songs :
P.O.P. ( Piece of Peace )
Baseline
Hangsang
From JITB:
Arson
More
Equal sign
Stop
What if…
So that is my long post, all song by BTS and each members solo works are great so you can’t go wrong at least for me because I love all genre’s of music my playlist has anywhere between Frank Sinatra, Classical, Garth Brookes, AC/DC Metallic, Red Hot Chili Peppers Dean Martin, crazy I know, just love music
Try mic drop
Fire
Ugh
Deang
Daiwchita agustd by suga
Arson by j-hope
Joke by RM
❤❤
Thank you for this reaction.😊 Would love to see your reaction to Wild Flower, Haegum, and More music vids (rap line solos) and On (the KINETIC MANIFESTO mv).🙏 Subscribing hoping for more BTS reactions. You should also react to A Guide to BTS by Taylor Mari…and don’t worry about the length…Army will watch to the end.😁 Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Happy Birthday 🎂 There are no cuts in Save Me, if there was a mistake, they started back from the beginning. It was a rainy and windy day, which is what they were going for. No CGI, or green screens. Dope was not a one shot. I'll link you behind the scenes. I really did love your review of Black Swan and how you have an eye for the details, and you caught a lot of the message from the dance and shadows. I would love to hear more about what you thought about the lyrics, if you were able to read all of them. Thanks, I will be leaving you the behind the scenes on these.

Thank you for these! I will definitely give them a look - as I said in another comment I want to take a look at the making of Save Me so I can really get an idea of how it was done:)
@@MCDofWCR It has English subs as well. They released Save Me in 2016 on their Young Forever album. You should do a reaction to the behind the scenes. Use the link I left you, because the original doesn't have subtitles.
Happy birthday 🎉
More of BTS pls
💜
They also release a lot of rap song in their solo , also a few as a group under rap line
U can also watch their introductions through a guide of bangtan 7 by taylor mari or there is a new update one just release also quite a same title but it said updated 💜
Hi! You should react to J-Hope’s new album. He is one of the BTS rappers. His album “HOPE ON THE STREET” comes out on March 29th. The album has features with Nile Rodgers and Jungkook (of BTS)
I’ll definitely look into it! I have it earmarked in my calendar :)
I'm ur 1.3k
You should really watch the making of all 3 of the songs. I think you would really appreciate them.
🎵🎶 Love BTS 💜 Happy weekend, enjoying U much👏 (subscribing now). Until next time....Happiness ☮️🌸 be well.
Thank you for the sub 😊🖤
React album suga D_Day pls❤

Jhope is releasing new album this friday. Can you do a reaction to it??
Title track is NEURON
It has also a Jung kook feature
Yep! I can definitely take a look at Neuron at least 😊
Your voice is identical to DanTDM
you’re not the first person to say that! I can see (hear) it! He’s a little more successful than me to say the least 😝
Bro won't like V's songs at all !! 😭😭
He's the R&B and Jazz guy of BTS
To be fair I didn’t mind Fri(end)s
Plz react to RM joke!
Nothing about their footwork in dope was hoping you actually would listen to more then instrument
Happy Birthday!
Thank you 😊
