The painting in front of him is not "The Lament of Icarus". That painting is in the room where Jungkook hangs on a swing at 2:23 . The painting in front of Taehyung is "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which appears many times during the mv and also on the Japanese ver of bst. I think it is meant to symbolize that Taehyung flew too close to 'the sun' and so he 'fell'. Sigh. I waste too much time with theories * pied piper starts playing *
Same!!!! I thought I was the only one, and that way he isn’t missing anything in the video if he’s talking while it’s playing and he’s looking at the camera. ☺️
Bro, no one knows what that scene actually means except BTS and Big Hit Entertainment. There are THOUSANDS of theories surrounding this music video and many others and how they related to each other. The member who stayed back is Jin, he's the oldest member of the group. It's no surprise this is your most requested reaction video; this is one of their most popular music videos around the world along with Fire (which you should also watch, it's super lit!)
The entire album that this song is from is based on the book Demian: The Story of a Youth by Hermann Hesse. That part where rap mon was talking is from the book. Long story short, the book is about a boy who realizes the difference between two worlds, good and evil. And about his relationship with friend Damien, and his slight obsession with Damien's mother. But he only meets Damien's mother at the end of the story. It's about his battle with good and evil, and him realizing that in the end it didn't matter and that life is all about living according to your instincts and desires. It's a really good book, I recommend you read it.
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHMENTS & JIN WITH THE PAINTING This may seem like a really minor detail and super irrelevant (“Ahh!! You’re reading too much into it!!”) but after watching the video several times you will see that this makes a connection later on. The video opens with everyone walking into the museum together, but everyone is paired up: J-Hope with V, Suga with Jimin, Rapmon with Jungkook. This is even exemplified in the Wings concept photoshoots. There are 7 members in BTS so the odd one out is Jin, who is seen walking away from everyone and towards a painting. Jin looks at the painting, titled The Fall of the Rebel Angels by Pieter Bruegel. We know that the angels of heaven fell because of direct rebellion against God by siding with Lucifer, who corrupted the angels by sinful temptations. This is a foreshadowing of the future events to come. Jin is the center focus of the music video and is the key symbol of tempted youth (which is ironic because he’s the oldest in BTS!) JUNGKOOK & RAP MONSTER: STORY OF ICARUS AND DAEDALUS The next painting is seen behind Jungkook, who is dangling from a swing. It is The Lament of Icarus by Herbert James Draper. The story of Icarus is marked by its famous representation of a naïve boy whose innocent curiosity is his fatal flaw. He is given a pair of wax-held wings by his father Daedalus (an inventor/scientist) to fly, but he ignores his father’s warning to stay away from the Sun. He ultimately flies too close to the Sun and the wax holding his wings together melts, destroying his wings and leading to Icarus falling into the ocean below and drowning. Rap Monster is the one who melts the candle from which Jungkook licks the melted wax from. In the myth, although it is Icarus’ own ignorance that leads to his death, it is his father Daedalus who gives him the option of flying in the first place. So Rapmon would represent Daedaelus and Jungkook can be interpreted as Icarus. Remember, at the beginning Rapmon is shown reading something to Jungkook, which would play into the Daedalus/Icarus relationship where the former educates and guides the latter. Rapmon is also the leader and Jungkook the maknae, which makes the relationship work. The way Jungkook is positioned on the swing-set looks like he is falling (both physically and symbolically). The melting candle and him licking the wax can be tied to the myth of Icarus, who falls because of the melted wax on his wings. When he is licking the wax he is actually off the swing, which could symbolize his fall. Jungkook “falls” because he has consumed the melted candle wax, which represents temptation. bonus: this is from a later scene that doesn’t really have any significance to this analysis except the fact that it shows Jungkook and Rapmon together again. J-HOPE & MICHELANGELO’S PIETA Next, we see J-Hope in front of Michelangelo’s Pieta, which shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion and removal from the cross. If you’ve listened to the Wings album you know that J-Hope’s solo song is titled “Mama” and is about his mom (there are also ties here to Demian with correlations to the character of Frau Eva, Demian’s mother in the novel. But like I said before I didn’t read Demian so you’ll have to refer to the previous replies for clarifications there). This is yet another Biblical reference in the music video. BTS, THE APPLE, AND JIN HEARING SOMETHINg Later on, all of the members are seen gathering at a table in what reminds me of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (The Last Supper tells the story of Jesus Christ and the distress amongst his Twelve Disciples after it was announced one of them would betray him). Anyways, they’re seen all with a single apple on their plate. The apple is a famous symbol of sin in the biblical story of Adam and Eve where Eve eats the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. And the scenery of the set does look like some sort of garden. In the last of the three photos above, you can see that the boys are all raising their cups to pledge something, but what are they pledging to? Given that the apple is on their plate and they’re ready to eat, it is hinted that they’re all ready to commit to the sins of adulthood together by eating the apple together. Just as Jin is about to raise his cup/pledge it seems as if he heard something, like a voice calling to him. At this point we are not really sure what it means but it adds on to the idea of Jin falling to temptation because whatever it is that called to him has captured his attention. J-HOPE & V: THE ARROW So after some research, I came across this verse from Psalm 21:12 of the Bible: “For You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.” I thought this was pretty interesting in relations to the video. I don’t know if BTS/production team went as far as basing this entire scene from this verse, but the connection is pretty clear. J-Hope shoots an arrow at V, which lands at his face and splatters the colored liquid everywhere (“You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces”) I will discuss the other part of the verse (“For You will make them turn their back”) in a bit to maintain things in a chronological order. JIMIN & SUGA: BLINDFOLD AND THE APPLE Here we see more of the relationship between Jimin and Suga. Again, the apple is used as a symbol of sin and I have some photos from the Wings photoshoot to illustrate this further (bonus: Jimin’s solo track “Lie” is also heavily influenced by the Adam and Eve story). Suga has a blindfold, seemingly for Jimin. This will be discussed later. V FALLING & LANDSCAPE WITH THE FALL OF ICARUS Here is where things start to get really interesting. We have V sitting on the ledge of a balcony (where he was seen in the beginning sitting at and looking up and down) and he looks back at you, cracks a mischievous grin, and jumps willingly. And in front of him is a big painting: Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, also by Bruegel. The painting shows a spectacular scenery of the sea, but when you look closely, you can see that there are a pair of legs struggling in the sea on the bottom righthand corner. That’s supposed to be Icarus after he falls. So we have this reoccurring motif of Icarus. We saw his death earlier and now we are witnessing his fall. Since I already interpreted Jungkook as Icarus, I won’t also analyze V as Icarus. Just keep in mind that V willfully falling, even enjoying it, is a very important factor in the story of BST. BLINDFOLDED JIMIN WITH JUNGKOOK & FEATHERS So now we see Suga blindfolding Jimin and he stumbles around the room. Since the apple is nowhere in sight we can assume that Jimin has eaten it, and after he ate it, he’s “lost his way” (wink wink reference) and has fallen into temptation. And I also have another photo of Jungkook floating without the swing (the swing = youth; his youth is also gone) now, and he’s got falling feathers all around him, adding to the idea that he represents Icarus. JIN & THE BALLOON - GIVES INTO THE TEMPTATIONS Throughout this video Jin has looked pretty conflicted; if you recall the beginning when he’s looking at the painting, he’s got a focused look that’s like “wow this is kind of cool??!” as well as confused. Like he doesn’t really know why he’s drawn to it but he is. And remember when he was at the dinner table with everyone but he gets distracted by something? My interpretation is that Jin is conflicted between wanting to stay blissful to the sweetness of youth, but he keeps getting distracted and enticed by “sinful callings.” This struggle is resolved with this scene of Jin and his balloon. The balloon represents his innocent youth; he’s quite literally holding on to it. He’s not sure if he wants to let go. Then, later on, during the cut with Rap Monster’s narration, we see that Jin has finally let go of the balloon. The balloon is already out of frame when he reaches up towards it, possibly regretting his choice. Remember, everyone else has already given in to the different forms of enticement (Jimin with the apple, V with falling, Jungkook with the wax, etc.) Jin is the last one to fall. FINALE: JIN & V - V AS THE FALLEN ANGEL WHO SEDUCES JIN, THE KISS Suga plays the organ and it is seen that all the boys in their respective pairs exit the museum, except Jin has stayed behind and V has noticed. Jin seems to be looking at/for something, and V shows up with yet another playful look and covers his eyes. When V removes his hands and Jin opens his eyes, a mysterious statue with large, black wings has appeared and looks like it’s ready to take off. So in the end, V, who’s been kind of elusive in the story, is revealed to have scars where wings are supposed to be. I believe this statue is V. The way the scenes cut support
Also Daedaelus told Icarus to not fly to low near the ocean or the wings will get heavy with water and he will fall. Not to fly to high near the sun or the wax will melt loosing the feathers and he will fall.
ah this is a really good explanation !!! do you by any chance know what jimins eyes being covered in the beginning and his tears falling when he takes the blindfold off symbolize? i have a bit of an idea but i'm not really sure 😅
kxileyj , There is this theory, that Yoongi covers Jimin's eyes to save him from death. Because there was this thing where they say, that if u see another one who looks like you, you die (or something like that).
I have a feeling you’re going to end up reacting to some bts music videos and let me tell you that there’s a HUGE story line behind most of them and here’s the order: - *I need u (original ver.)* - *prologue (find an eng subs & watch until the end)* - *run (watch until the end)* - *epilogue: young forever* - *wings short film #1: begin (get english subs)* - *wings short film #2: lie (get english subs)* - *wings short film #3: stigma (get english subs)* - *wings short film #4: first love (get english subs)* - *wings short film #5: reflection (get english subs)* - *wings short film #6: mama (get english subs)* - *wings short film #7: awake (get english subs)* - *boy meets evil* - *blood, sweat and tears* - *love yourself highlight reel (13 minute ver)* there are japanese versions for the music videos I need u, run and blood, sweat & tears that also relate to the storyline but if you want to react to those be more careful because the japanese versions are more strict about copyright. bighit doesn't care about copyright, they find people reacting to bts' music videos and stuff as promotion so you're good with the korean stuff but not the japanese ones so be careful. *english subs for the PROLOGUE video are found on Min Suga's channel. you'll need it* *for the wings short film videos, you NEED to find english subs. the videos on ibighit's channel does not have english subs so look on 'Bangtanie Subs' channel. they have eng subs all of the short film videos* *ALSO. If you want to follow along with the lyrics, bighit does have closed captions on bts music videos*
blood sweat and tears Japanese version, contains a lot of information of the story line so you have to see it but if you have to be very careful with the copyright, as Daegu Boys says
I think RM is his forever and always bias, with Jhope and Jimin his wreckers (he told in a video, I don't remember which one),...but you know, getting to know Bts it's difficult to maintein a bias ahahah
"What's up with this one? He's always been like been by him self and looking back" ha...shit I'm thinking back to the wing era now and I want to cry because of awake.
Dolly Wittrock I hear you! I'm 32. My 13 year old is obsessed with kpop/ bts. I had no clue how talented and amazing these guys are until I truly sat down and watched. They are beyond talented.
The video is based on a story called Demian. Which talks about a lot of allegories relating to Fallen Angels. They even reference a demon in it. I have not read the book but I would like to. The song itself is about temptation. Hence all the seductive scenes and very alluring atmosphere.
sweetmiss23 speaking of fallen angels, and Abraxas, I remembered when BTS reacted to their own music video, RM said "as expected of Abraxas" or something like that, and it was when Jin was looking at the mirror which might just imply that Jin was Abraxas (which is God and the embodiment of both good and evil in some books) all along and this was him watching his angels fall into chaos and sin. And him kissing the winged statue didn't mean that he kissed the devil and gave up to temptations, he kissed his Black winges angel which is the angel of death, sacrificing himself so that his angels can be saved, but they were already too corrupted that V (or the devil) already won. And with him looking at the mirror and cracking means that he couldn't do anything for his angels. Well that is my theory, kinda...
@@kengems6141 no actually demian is the darker part of sinclair which he accepts along with the brighter part of his life as both are a part of himself. And in order to love himself he has to accept both the parts.. I actually saw a theory video and it explained everything so amazingly
I've searched the book "Demian" one time. I was hoping that I can get a copy of it because it is sure became interesting for me because of BTS 😂 but damn this literature (Demian) is really old that it can only be accessed on libraries on other countries I forgot what country though. I've read the preview and the book is indeed interesting and mysterious at the same time
If Jimin was always rocking this look he does in this video, oh man.. he’d definitely be my bias (sorry v) because he SLAYS ME DEAD in this video. Goddamn.
Basically, J-jope Suga are the angels to help Jin to advoid him into darkness, Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook are the ones who make Jin trap in his heart, (they are like kind of dark angels?) At the middle of the MV, J-hope used his arrow to hit V and he got hurt. Same as Jungkook and he just sleep next to Rap Mon to take rest because they have lack of power amd energy. Suga talked with Jimin and asked him "Can you control Jin's heart even you close your eyes?" Jimin said Yes. And Suga put on a (something) in front of his eyes,.but Jimin was wrong, he can do nothing without seeing. At last all the people just went out of the museum because Jin has already free from his heart. But.unfortunately his turned his head around, he is still.confused. V closed his eyes with his hands. When Jin opened his eyes there is an angle with black wings on in front of him. He think the angel was the one who can save him.and the one he need.to praise. So he kiss it(the kiss means give his life to it). But he is wrong. It is not an angle . It is like Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook. They are the dark angels. V cut off his wings amd put them on on the stone. And now Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook are full of energy and power. J-hope and Suga lost. The virgin marie has broken and Jin's face was cracked Thank you so much for finish watching this and so sorry for my English😂
Ok 1. This is the song/mv that made me fall in love with them, and 2. you should never ask an ARMY what their song/mv is about because we are famous for our theories.😂 Am I right, or am I right fellow ARMY?! ARMY=detectives
There is symbolism all throughout this video that ties into this and past MV theories. At the beginning, Jin (pink hair) is staring at the painting Rebellion of the Fallen Angels. Jimin (gray hair) and Suga (black hair) are in front of Venus, Rapmon is reading to Jungkook (brown hair) from the book Damien and J-Hope (red hair) and V (blond hair) are looking at a madonna (I think). The balcony scene, V jumps into the painting of The Fall of Icarus while Suga and Jimin exchange "sins"...blindfold, ignoring the restrictions of society and/or your morals and the apple for temptation. RM said the MV was about Damien, but also about temptation. V is the fallen angel and Jin cracks at the end because he gave in to desire and temptation, he lost his pure façade. The saying on the wall is from Nietzsche, it says " You cannot give birth to a star without having chaos within." There are tons of theories and ARMY have been turned into freaking literary detectives by BTS. You stay in this fandom long enough, you'll eventually see the theory that BTS has been dropping hints of future projects from the very beginning, like "Stigma" appearing in the No More Dreams MV. They're deep, that's why we love them. Check out Suga's tracks on his solo album Agust D. Three years we waited for this mixtape...totally worth it!
This guy understands. Like I never thought that anyone would like the best as much as I did. People usually just like the music video or the members but they don’t really acknowledge the beat (talking about people who react for the first time)
I know. I love to watch a video two times in general: first time I'm usually amazed by everything, I like to watch it /listening without focusing on something in particular, then the 2nd I love to analyse it, esp focusing one the music first, then on the visuals of the video, third on the voices
Dude I love how much you’re appreciating the cinematography, composition AND the choreography :,) They work really hard on it and, just, THANK YOU for. Noticing and, just, jkwncijeoibew Welcome to the fandom bro, you’re never too late-
You just got dragged into a black hole that is known as theories lol... Blood Sweat and Tears is connected to alot of their other music videos from 'I Need You' which is where the theories started and the videos after that like prologue, run, etc are basically continuing the story
It's MANHI (많이) but sounds like MONEY. Slang meaning "a lot" or "a lot of" not to get confused with MANHEUN (많은) -sounds like Jamaica's MON IN- which means "many".
OH and one more thing(IM SO EXCITED I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL) *How to distinguish the members! by voice/role* Rapmon- you probably know him already, rapper, leader, cool and talented,,, he looks tough but is actually a huge cinnamon roll who needs to be protected V- The dude with his wings torn off. you can recognise him by voice; it’s very rich and thick, and he also has a really wide vocal range. He was the one who did the first ahhh-hhh-hhh-hh Jungkook- he gets a lot of lines and his voice is kinda breathy, ethereal. His eyes are like deer’s eyes xD Jin- The statue kissing dude! His vocals are very emotional, almost a little nasal but not that much, so he sings the emotional lines of the song. He doesn’t get many lines tho :( Jimin- The blind folded dude and the dude in the blue jacket looking sexy af. He majored in dancing so he’s. REALLY, really good at that with very powerful performances. OH AND HE’S THE SHORTEST XD. I definitely think Jimin is a visual, and, I guess his eyes are the longest in the group, almost in parallel lines. Jhope- also a rapper and dancer. His rapping is also very powerful but kinda more hyped than Suga’s since he makes his voice go up and down(ie in Not Today) Suga- Plays piano, looks kinda sleepy, rapper, but his voice is deep and rough, he’s savage AF with his rapping, just listen to his song Agust d Idk if this’ll help, and I’m not trying to summarise the boys and melt them down to only their looks so I hope nothing was too offensive since I tried my best not to be, ahhh- tbh I think once you get in the loop getting to know their vocals it gets easier to tell them apart
oh god, this guy is in a 'theories' level already :D brace yourself, this is the part when your life will get all surreal now and full of confusions :D welcome to the family:))) you have a long road into theories, and when you get to the end, you'll realize that it's not even the end yet. only the beginning. good luck ;) p.s. I like your reactions, they feel very honest (not like some people who react only to get attention). that's what makes you even more welcomed into this ARMY family ;) and please, react to other BTS MVs. I suggest you to react to those in order (the release date). then you'll be able to understand the theories and it will be easier to spot connections between their videos and music, and even their choreographies, CAUSE EVEN THAT HAS CONNECTIONS!!! and sorry for my not-so-great English. thank you for reading this long comment, and once again, good luck ;) I'll keep a watch on you! :D
Sorry I’m spamming so much but when you said ‘did he say money’ it reminded me of something! You should react to a [BTS misheard lyrics] video😂😂 They have. Uh. A lot. Like, a L O T of misheard lyrics😂😂 Plus, it’s pretty funny xD
Hi - I'm 65 and have been an ARMY since 2015. BTS is the greatest thing since the Beatles! I was a crazy Beatlemaniac back in the day - have loved music ever since then but these BTS boys have 1000% captured my heart. ALT Ybor - where are you from? I'm California.
They arn't saying money, but are saying: "Wonhae Manhi manhi..." which roughly translate to "I want you a lot, a lot...". The video concept is based on "Demian" by Hermann Hesse, and the english that Rap Monster speaks in the red scene is a direct quote from the book. There are a crap ton of theories about the video and the ending. One of the more popular ones is based on the idea of falling into temptation and losing innocence. I kinda buy into this theory as well - especially with the part with V jumping off the balcony into the painting - as that painting is the painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus".
all bts videos have a story line and everything is tied together. even the smallest details like a hand gesture, the colors or the direction they look in has a lot of meaning. that being said, we have been struggling to figure out the story lines for years now and we still have no idea whats going on. there are millions of theories out there.
This and several videos in which RapMon narrates parts/and the video's are loosely based on a book called "Demian" by Herman Hesse. In the book, the lead character Sinclair goes through a journey of what is reality and what is illusion...a spiritual growth so to speak. In Blood, Sweat, & Tears Jin (the blonde always lagging behind) is Sinclair trying to overcome illusion and temptation. V (the one covering Jin's eyes and with the burnt wings) is trying to stop Jin from see'ing reality. At the end of the video when Jin's face cracked, that was symbolism of the illusion being shattered. Some Army's have made videos of really in depth interpretations but this is just my really brief summary. PEACE
hmmm, in my opinion V is and I can't emphasize enough a vague interpretation of Kromer, Abraxius and Pistorius. A mixture of those that enjoy walking on the slightly darker side of life. Demian was more of a guide character, He understood that life in general is both sides: Light and Dark... Cain and Abel.
I agree. In each of the mv's they all played Sinclair or Demian and the various characters from the book. But in this particular mv, at least to me Jin was Sinclair.
BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS is responsible for choosing JIMIN as my BIAS WRECKER. He looks soooo good in that video. I think Jimin is either your Bias or your bias wrecker. He is just too beautiful to resist. Especially in Blood sweat and tears. JIMIN is rocking that scarf.
That part of Jin kissing the statue, you kinda look confused lol. So, basically the story behind this song were pretty much taken from a novel called "Demian". If you want, you can check it out or read the novel LOL jokes. But the whole loneliness thingy, the angel, broken wings etc were from that novel. But, it's pretty cool how they did that, really smart. BTS's songs have very deep meanings and story behind it - they either show it in their MV's or through the lyrics of their songs.
I know 6 language 1.my language wich is Albanian 2.English wich is your language 3.Turkish wich i have learned from turkish movies 4.italian from my school 5.indian from the movies and 6.korean wich i am learning now :) and i have plan for learning german language :D And i love your reaction :)
5:37- "I just feel like we need to take a break" Me- *BOI HOW CAN I TAKE A BREAK WHEN JIN IS STARING INTO MY SOUL HOLY MOTHER OF MARY MY HEART IS PALPITATING*
Heyo! The guy you were asking about is named Jin! They aren't saying money (though i totally thought the same thing when i first heard the song lol), they're saying "wonhae manhi manhi" which is them saying "i want you a lot". A lot of the lyrics tie into like, well, take all of my blood sweat, and tears, just take everything. That kind of thing, you know? And lastly! I was thinking you should totally react to BTS's Cypher series. Apparently some comments got thrown at BTS that since the rappers (Rap Monster, Suga, and J-Hope) were in a guy group, that they weren't REAL rappers. And since then on a couple albums they've done this series called Cypher, which is just the rappers and they are LIT. My personal favorites and the ones I think you should definitely check out are Cypher 3 and Cypher 4. They go hard as fuck in those. Now there aren't music videos for these songs, but there are plenty of live performances and they go even harder live. Hope this was helpful!
I really love how you actually comment on the elements they put into the video! You have a lot of insight and I appreciate your react videos to bts because it seems like you really listen to the music and catch the details in the videos. I really hope you do more!
You'rew the PERFECT person to react to things. Open minded, getting into what you're watching and truly REACT to shit! Great channel bro! Sorry for like commenting a thousand times but I'm so thrilled, this is THE BEST channel in it's category. Fire
Yo thanks to you pausing the video and asking what all the stuff with Jin and the angel wing meant, I peeped the German writing at the top of the screen (something I never peeped before) and I translated it to: one must still have chaos within themselves to be able to (or in order to) create a dancing star ....don't know what this means but it's a breakthrough for ARMYs to figure this MV out (we've been trying to for the longest)
It’s related to the book “Damien”. I didn’t read it though. According to those who did the kiss has something to do with acceptance of adulthood. For me it’s about succumbing to temptation which is what the lyrics of the song are about. P.S. The CC button is always there for you to use when you want to know the lyrics. 😉
The part with Jin being left from the group is in reference to something in one of the other videos they did a long time ago. Jin has always been behind the guys in one way or another. This video references Jin giving in to the dark side of Temptation.
I fricking love that you paus it! That way we're able to see your reaction for real! Otherwise you'd feel like you have to focus on the video to not miss something.
I don't usually watch reaction videos but I'm loving your BTS ones. It makes me feel like I'm also watching them for the first time again which is something because I've watched all their videos so many times that it could probably be considered a problem now haha. It's awesome as part of the ARMY, to see them gaining the recognition they so deserve. Thank you for making me smile with your videos and welcome to the ARMY! ;)
You will truly become a BTS fan when you understand the music, the videos the story line and the choreagraphy. Everything is connected. It gets a whole lot deeper plus understand how they made it. Understand that in korea its a certain standard. They came from the bottom. Now they here. What i love about them is that they give fans a great story, a puzzle and we figure it out. They are very involved with their fans which makes them stand out even more. -LOVE FROM BTS ARMY
They're always theories relating many of the stories surrounding videos by BTS. If you want to go deeper into theories you can always look them up. And one of the best set of videos to watch with a theory around it which this video actually comes off of are from a previous album. The songs are titled I need u, prologue and run. If you really want to look into theories those would be your best three videos to watch. I think that's the order if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me
Each album has a concept many theories which makes it fun! This on is boy meet evil. Please react to Rap Monster Joke. Suga's alter ego Augst D song name Augst D and Jay Park (just signed by Jay Z) song On It!
Pink Hair- Jin (Black hair in DNA) Black Hair- Suga (Blue/Gray hair in DNA) Orange Hair- J-Hope (Red/Orange hair in DNA) Dark Green/Brown Hair- Rap Monster (Peach hair in DNA) Gray Hair- Jimin (Blonde hair in DNA) Brown Hair- Jungkook (Brown hair in DNA)
Loven Tidus I'm just responding to your first statement lol has nothing to do with other armys and its really ignorant for you to judge all armys based off of one. I'm just saying that your first comment sounded offensive and I have never seen anyone exclude tae from anything because its usually the older boys that are left out. I'm sorry if it sounds confrontation because I'm not the best at English especially when trying to make points.
Mannnn, your reactions are so great. I just made my best friend that's an ARMY watch your reactions too and we ended up watching this one together and raving about you! Keep the BTS reactions coming! haha
Best friend in question here! Dud you just opened the door to BTS Music Video theories by asking this at the end hahaha. Welcome to BTS, I'm so excited to see you loving them and the music! There are a LOT of theories about the storyline of BTS videos and how they all connect together, ARMY have literally spent YEARS trying to figure this all out so good luck!
snow Yujin yaa. Many people just watched without turn the cc hahh. It's kinda annoyed me sometimes. Bts are just kpop idol who has subtitles on their mv. Right? If I'm not mistake
I think many would agree to this, Of all the reaction videos I’ve been watching, yours make sense ‘cause you actually pay attention and got to know each of our boys after some time. You weren’t there since their beginning but you caught up 💜
Oh my goddd too adorable 😭😭😂😂 you closed your eyes when Jin (that is his name) kissed the status hahah and welcome to ARMY! Lol (once your in there’s no out 👀 lol)
Christina, enjoy the concert in Los Angeles. BTS is going to slay that audience. Our seven guys transcends language barriers. They offer pure talent. That is why I love BTS, and will always support and protect them.
yoooo he's solving theories already I never even thought about the possibility that Taehyung was jumping into a painting 😂
MK0401 i always thought it meant to be the imagery of "fallen angel" because the painting in front of him is "The Lament of Icarus"
lmao same
UPDATE// SOME THEORY STUFF JUST GOT RELEASED AKSJDJSKSN
The painting in front of him is not "The Lament of Icarus". That painting is in the room where Jungkook hangs on a swing at 2:23 . The painting in front of Taehyung is "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which appears many times during the mv and also on the Japanese ver of bst. I think it is meant to symbolize that Taehyung flew too close to 'the sun' and so he 'fell'.
Sigh. I waste too much time with theories * pied piper starts playing *
MK0401 what where????
I actually like that you pause the MV when you wanna say something instead of talking while the MV is playing :)
same
Choi Vernswag Me2
True
Same!!!! I thought I was the only one, and that way he isn’t missing anything in the video if he’s talking while it’s playing and he’s looking at the camera. ☺️
Yeah right
this song is inspired in a book, Demian by Hermann Hesse
so cool right!
Sam De Navarro yes and it's a german book :)
i'm from germany hihi🙈💕
Caitlin Clarke it is confirmed rap mon talked about it in a interview!
Caitlin Clarke it's confirmeddd :) namjoon talked about it in a kbs interview
Sweet Cheery Heeeey :3
nutelli2go hi :)
"Is he saying money?" Me: *laughing so hard I'm crying*
Ikr everytime they say that i go like this: mOnEh mOneH mOneEehh
Means “more
Matthew Barrick guess ur thinking of Japanese cuz even in the Mv it actually seems to them wanting more ,, so yeah !
Bro, no one knows what that scene actually means except BTS and Big Hit Entertainment. There are THOUSANDS of theories surrounding this music video and many others and how they related to each other. The member who stayed back is Jin, he's the oldest member of the group. It's no surprise this is your most requested reaction video; this is one of their most popular music videos around the world along with Fire (which you should also watch, it's super lit!)
Of course Fire's lit. That's the whole point
SMH
ECHO explained it... should read their comment :)
But ARMYS have a lot of theories to
Well, I¡m sorry but have a clear explanation. Illustrate yourself
The entire album that this song is from is based on the book Demian: The Story of a Youth by Hermann Hesse. That part where rap mon was talking is from the book. Long story short, the book is about a boy who realizes the difference between two worlds, good and evil. And about his relationship with friend Damien, and his slight obsession with Damien's mother. But he only meets Damien's mother at the end of the story. It's about his battle with good and evil, and him realizing that in the end it didn't matter and that life is all about living according to your instincts and desires. It's a really good book, I recommend you read it.
Menshi the book is called Demian*
Wow really
German Literature has so many gems
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHMENTS & JIN WITH THE PAINTING
This may seem like a really minor detail and super irrelevant (“Ahh!! You’re reading too much into it!!”) but after watching the video several times you will see that this makes a connection later on. The video opens with everyone walking into the museum together, but everyone is paired up: J-Hope with V, Suga with Jimin, Rapmon with Jungkook. This is even exemplified in the Wings concept photoshoots.
There are 7 members in BTS so the odd one out is Jin, who is seen walking away from everyone and towards a painting.
Jin looks at the painting, titled The Fall of the Rebel Angels by Pieter Bruegel. We know that the angels of heaven fell because of direct rebellion against God by siding with Lucifer, who corrupted the angels by sinful temptations.
This is a foreshadowing of the future events to come. Jin is the center focus of the music video and is the key symbol of tempted youth (which is ironic because he’s the oldest in BTS!)
JUNGKOOK & RAP MONSTER: STORY OF ICARUS AND DAEDALUS
The next painting is seen behind Jungkook, who is dangling from a swing. It is The Lament of Icarus by Herbert James Draper. The story of Icarus is marked by its famous representation of a naïve boy whose innocent curiosity is his fatal flaw. He is given a pair of wax-held wings by his father Daedalus (an inventor/scientist) to fly, but he ignores his father’s warning to stay away from the Sun. He ultimately flies too close to the Sun and the wax holding his wings together melts, destroying his wings and leading to Icarus falling into the ocean below and drowning.
Rap Monster is the one who melts the candle from which Jungkook licks the melted wax from. In the myth, although it is Icarus’ own ignorance that leads to his death, it is his father Daedalus who gives him the option of flying in the first place. So Rapmon would represent Daedaelus and Jungkook can be interpreted as Icarus. Remember, at the beginning Rapmon is shown reading something to Jungkook, which would play into the Daedalus/Icarus relationship where the former educates and guides the latter. Rapmon is also the leader and Jungkook the maknae, which makes the relationship work.
The way Jungkook is positioned on the swing-set looks like he is falling (both physically and symbolically). The melting candle and him licking the wax can be tied to the myth of Icarus, who falls because of the melted wax on his wings. When he is licking the wax he is actually off the swing, which could symbolize his fall. Jungkook “falls” because he has consumed the melted candle wax, which represents temptation.
bonus: this is from a later scene that doesn’t really have any significance to this analysis except the fact that it shows Jungkook and Rapmon together again.
J-HOPE & MICHELANGELO’S PIETA
Next, we see J-Hope in front of Michelangelo’s Pieta, which shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion and removal from the cross. If you’ve listened to the Wings album you know that J-Hope’s solo song is titled “Mama” and is about his mom (there are also ties here to Demian with correlations to the character of Frau Eva, Demian’s mother in the novel. But like I said before I didn’t read Demian so you’ll have to refer to the previous replies for clarifications there). This is yet another Biblical reference in the music video.
BTS, THE APPLE, AND JIN HEARING SOMETHINg
Later on, all of the members are seen gathering at a table in what reminds me of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (The Last Supper tells the story of Jesus Christ and the distress amongst his Twelve Disciples after it was announced one of them would betray him). Anyways, they’re seen all with a single apple on their plate. The apple is a famous symbol of sin in the biblical story of Adam and Eve where Eve eats the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. And the scenery of the set does look like some sort of garden. In the last of the three photos above, you can see that the boys are all raising their cups to pledge something, but what are they pledging to? Given that the apple is on their plate and they’re ready to eat, it is hinted that they’re all ready to commit to the sins of adulthood together by eating the apple together.
Just as Jin is about to raise his cup/pledge it seems as if he heard something, like a voice calling to him. At this point we are not really sure what it means but it adds on to the idea of Jin falling to temptation because whatever it is that called to him has captured his attention.
J-HOPE & V: THE ARROW
So after some research, I came across this verse from Psalm 21:12 of the Bible:
“For You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces.”
I thought this was pretty interesting in relations to the video. I don’t know if BTS/production team went as far as basing this entire scene from this verse, but the connection is pretty clear. J-Hope shoots an arrow at V, which lands at his face and splatters the colored liquid everywhere (“You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces”)
I will discuss the other part of the verse (“For You will make them turn their back”) in a bit to maintain things in a chronological order.
JIMIN & SUGA: BLINDFOLD AND THE APPLE
Here we see more of the relationship between Jimin and Suga. Again, the apple is used as a symbol of sin and I have some photos from the Wings photoshoot to illustrate this further (bonus: Jimin’s solo track “Lie” is also heavily influenced by the Adam and Eve story).
Suga has a blindfold, seemingly for Jimin. This will be discussed later.
V FALLING & LANDSCAPE WITH THE FALL OF ICARUS
Here is where things start to get really interesting. We have V sitting on the ledge of a balcony (where he was seen in the beginning sitting at and looking up and down) and he looks back at you, cracks a mischievous grin, and jumps willingly. And in front of him is a big painting: Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, also by Bruegel. The painting shows a spectacular scenery of the sea, but when you look closely, you can see that there are a pair of legs struggling in the sea on the bottom righthand corner. That’s supposed to be Icarus after he falls. So we have this reoccurring motif of Icarus. We saw his death earlier and now we are witnessing his fall. Since I already interpreted Jungkook as Icarus, I won’t also analyze V as Icarus. Just keep in mind that V willfully falling, even enjoying it, is a very important factor in the story of BST.
BLINDFOLDED JIMIN WITH JUNGKOOK & FEATHERS
So now we see Suga blindfolding Jimin and he stumbles around the room. Since the apple is nowhere in sight we can assume that Jimin has eaten it, and after he ate it, he’s “lost his way” (wink wink reference) and has fallen into temptation. And I also have another photo of Jungkook floating without the swing (the swing = youth; his youth is also gone) now, and he’s got falling feathers all around him, adding to the idea that he represents Icarus.
JIN & THE BALLOON - GIVES INTO THE TEMPTATIONS
Throughout this video Jin has looked pretty conflicted; if you recall the beginning when he’s looking at the painting, he’s got a focused look that’s like “wow this is kind of cool??!” as well as confused. Like he doesn’t really know why he’s drawn to it but he is. And remember when he was at the dinner table with everyone but he gets distracted by something? My interpretation is that Jin is conflicted between wanting to stay blissful to the sweetness of youth, but he keeps getting distracted and enticed by “sinful callings.” This struggle is resolved with this scene of Jin and his balloon. The balloon represents his innocent youth; he’s quite literally holding on to it. He’s not sure if he wants to let go. Then, later on, during the cut with Rap Monster’s narration, we see that Jin has finally let go of the balloon. The balloon is already out of frame when he reaches up towards it, possibly regretting his choice. Remember, everyone else has already given in to the different forms of enticement (Jimin with the apple, V with falling, Jungkook with the wax, etc.) Jin is the last one to fall.
FINALE: JIN & V - V AS THE FALLEN ANGEL WHO SEDUCES JIN, THE KISS
Suga plays the organ and it is seen that all the boys in their respective pairs exit the museum, except Jin has stayed behind and V has noticed. Jin seems to be looking at/for something, and V shows up with yet another playful look and covers his eyes.
When V removes his hands and Jin opens his eyes, a mysterious statue with large, black wings has appeared and looks like it’s ready to take off.
So in the end, V, who’s been kind of elusive in the story, is revealed to have scars where wings are supposed to be. I believe this statue is V. The way the scenes cut support
Also Daedaelus told Icarus to not fly to low near the ocean or the wings will get heavy with water and he will fall. Not to fly to high near the sun or the wax will melt loosing the feathers and he will fall.
This is a good ass explanation well done 👌👏
ah this is a really good explanation !!! do you by any chance know what jimins eyes being covered in the beginning and his tears falling when he takes the blindfold off symbolize? i have a bit of an idea but i'm not really sure 😅
kxileyj , There is this theory, that Yoongi covers Jimin's eyes to save him from death. Because there was this thing where they say, that if u see another one who looks like you, you die (or something like that).
thank you so much for this and it'll probably help so many people to understand this MV. Well done.
I have a feeling you’re going to end up reacting to some bts music videos and let me tell you that there’s a HUGE story line behind most of them and here’s the order:
- *I need u (original ver.)*
- *prologue (find an eng subs & watch until the end)*
- *run (watch until the end)*
- *epilogue: young forever*
- *wings short film #1: begin (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #2: lie (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #3: stigma (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #4: first love (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #5: reflection (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #6: mama (get english subs)*
- *wings short film #7: awake (get english subs)*
- *boy meets evil*
- *blood, sweat and tears*
- *love yourself highlight reel (13 minute ver)*
there are japanese versions for the music videos I need u, run and blood, sweat & tears that also relate to the storyline but if you want to react to those be more careful because the japanese versions are more strict about copyright. bighit doesn't care about copyright, they find people reacting to bts' music videos and stuff as promotion so you're good with the korean stuff but not the japanese ones so be careful.
*english subs for the PROLOGUE video are found on Min Suga's channel. you'll need it*
*for the wings short film videos, you NEED to find english subs. the videos on ibighit's channel does not have english subs so look on 'Bangtanie Subs' channel. they have eng subs all of the short film videos*
*ALSO. If you want to follow along with the lyrics, bighit does have closed captions on bts music videos*
Daegu Boys also Boy Meets Evil
blood sweat and tears Japanese version, contains a lot of information of the story line so you have to see it but if you have to be very careful with the copyright, as Daegu Boys says
Alice B. Rabbit • oh shit 😂
I second this comment !
Dedication 😂
He says RM is his favorite but in the DNA video he was shook at V and here he said he liked V’s vocals sooooo 😏
I think V is his biast wrecker lol
I'm watching now all of his videos and he's always super happy to get to Suga's rap part, even sometimes ignoring RM so... Suga bias wrecker??
@I_purpul Bts honestly, ot7 and bias wrecking each other constantly
I think RM is his forever and always bias, with Jhope and Jimin his wreckers (he told in a video, I don't remember which one),...but you know, getting to know Bts it's difficult to maintein a bias ahahah
Since became an army, we won't ever being loyal on our bias. There's always a bias wrecker, literally all of them:)
jimin aint my bias but he got me feeling some crazy ass way when he flicked his jacket of his shoulder XD
Doesn’t he do that to all of us?
@Daziah Williams ???
"What's up with this one? He's always been like been by him self and looking back" ha...shit I'm thinking back to the wing era now and I want to cry because of awake.
IKR
Holy Water I laughed so hard
Holy Water OH SHİT YES ;-;
I'm in my 50's and huge fan of BTS, JHOPE Is my man, BTS is AMAZING!!!
Dolly Wittrock I'm also in my 50's and I love their music, too!
You both are great people. I'm glad to see different people enjoying kpop
Dolly Wittrock I hear you! I'm 32. My 13 year old is obsessed with kpop/ bts. I had no clue how talented and amazing these guys are until I truly sat down and watched. They are beyond talented.
Yes they are, I follow them all over, I feel like a kid, They bring out the youth in me, I love it!!
Rachel Vilcheck why can't my mom and my cousins be like you
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO JOIN THE FAM BOI
The video is based on a story called Demian. Which talks about a lot of allegories relating to Fallen Angels. They even reference a demon in it. I have not read the book but I would like to. The song itself is about temptation. Hence all the seductive scenes and very alluring atmosphere.
sweetmiss23 speaking of fallen angels, and Abraxas, I remembered when BTS reacted to their own music video, RM said "as expected of Abraxas" or something like that, and it was when Jin was looking at the mirror which might just imply that Jin was Abraxas (which is God and the embodiment of both good and evil in some books) all along and this was him watching his angels fall into chaos and sin.
And him kissing the winged statue didn't mean that he kissed the devil and gave up to temptations, he kissed his Black winges angel which is the angel of death, sacrificing himself so that his angels can be saved, but they were already too corrupted that V (or the devil) already won. And with him looking at the mirror and cracking means that he couldn't do anything for his angels.
Well that is my theory, kinda...
@@kengems6141 no actually demian is the darker part of sinclair which he accepts along with the brighter part of his life as both are a part of himself. And in order to love himself he has to accept both the parts.. I actually saw a theory video and it explained everything so amazingly
Sahrish Majeed oh, well I just researched about Abraxas and how some of his stories are, I haven't red Damien fully, sooo yeah as I said a theory
Sahrish Majeed do you have a link or links to theories?
I've searched the book "Demian" one time. I was hoping that I can get a copy of it because it is sure became interesting for me because of BTS 😂 but damn this literature (Demian) is really old that it can only be accessed on libraries on other countries I forgot what country though. I've read the preview and the book is indeed interesting and mysterious at the same time
If Jimin was always rocking this look he does in this video, oh man.. he’d definitely be my bias (sorry v) because he SLAYS ME DEAD in this video. Goddamn.
Basically, J-jope Suga are the angels to help Jin to advoid him into darkness, Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook are the ones who make Jin trap in his heart, (they are like kind of dark angels?) At the middle of the MV, J-hope used his arrow to hit V and he got hurt. Same as Jungkook and he just sleep next to Rap Mon to take rest because they have lack of power amd energy. Suga talked with Jimin and asked him "Can you control Jin's heart even you close your eyes?" Jimin said Yes. And Suga put on a (something) in front of his eyes,.but Jimin was wrong, he can do nothing without seeing. At last all the people just went out of the museum because Jin has already free from his heart. But.unfortunately his turned his head around, he is still.confused. V closed his eyes with his hands. When Jin opened his eyes there is an angle with black wings on in front of him. He think the angel was the one who can save him.and the one he need.to praise. So he kiss it(the kiss means give his life to it). But he is wrong. It is not an angle . It is like Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook. They are the dark angels. V cut off his wings amd put them on on the stone. And now Rap Mon Jimin V and Jungkook are full of energy and power. J-hope and Suga lost. The virgin marie has broken and Jin's face was cracked
Thank you so much for finish watching this and so sorry for my English😂
This is so helpful, thank you!
노아ECHO Thank you!!!!❤
노아ECHO oh i have been an army 4 almost 2 years and now i finally get it 😂😂🐼
This is a really awesome explaination. Now i finally understand what this actually means.
THAAANK YOU!!
"I wanna know if there's a theory" 😂😂😂oh god ..you asked for it. Prepare yourself lol
BTSTRASH4LIFE he truly has stepped into it
HAHAH
Fr he invited himself to the "party" lmao
BTSTRASH4LIFE our fandom has a TINY bit of theories for every song right?lol
Like should we warn him? Should we just let him fall into this deep hole that are the theories? Haha
Please react to agust d (bts member suga) the last lyric breakdown which shows you this member's vulnerable/different side
ANG3l B3NCIO yesssssssss
Yes pliss
Exactly 😭😭
Yaaaaaaaaas
ANG3L B3NCIO
I'm on the same page! I want him to react to "August D ft.Jimin Tony Montana Live!"
I just feel so *proud* being a BTS trash by watching you "fangirling" over them!👏🔥 We love BTS!!🔥
FIGHTING!🔥
Nike Nikolli fanboying xD would be better.
yes, we purple them💜
"I need you guys to down in the comments and write what that part meant"
Me: bruh we don't even know what that part meant!!!!
Justin Seagull true😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 damn
Ok 1. This is the song/mv that made me fall in love with them, and 2. you should never ask an ARMY what their song/mv is about because we are famous for our theories.😂 Am I right, or am I right fellow ARMY?! ARMY=detectives
MsAlyce right?! 😂😂
Same and couldn't agree more lmao
💪👌
MsAlyce Biiish we work for the FBI
LowlifePotato Yesss!!😂
There is symbolism all throughout this video that ties into this and past MV theories. At the beginning, Jin (pink hair) is staring at the painting Rebellion of the Fallen Angels. Jimin (gray hair) and Suga (black hair) are in front of Venus, Rapmon is reading to Jungkook (brown hair) from the book Damien and J-Hope (red hair) and V (blond hair) are looking at a madonna (I think). The balcony scene, V jumps into the painting of The Fall of Icarus while Suga and Jimin exchange "sins"...blindfold, ignoring the restrictions of society and/or your morals and the apple for temptation. RM said the MV was about Damien, but also about temptation. V is the fallen angel and Jin cracks at the end because he gave in to desire and temptation, he lost his pure façade. The saying on the wall is from Nietzsche, it says " You cannot give birth to a star without having chaos within." There are tons of theories and ARMY have been turned into freaking literary detectives by BTS. You stay in this fandom long enough, you'll eventually see the theory that BTS has been dropping hints of future projects from the very beginning, like "Stigma" appearing in the No More Dreams MV. They're deep, that's why we love them.
Check out Suga's tracks on his solo album Agust D. Three years we waited for this mixtape...totally worth it!
I'll tell u what happened
No one actually knows
big big bIGGGGG mood
Widrella Xo that was Sooooo accuraaateee!! I could die in peace! 😂
PRECISE AND RIGHT TO THE POINT! I LOVE IT!
😂😂😂
I laughed so hard at this! I couldn’t even breathe lolololololololololololol😂
This guy understands. Like I never thought that anyone would like the best as much as I did. People usually just like the music video or the members but they don’t really acknowledge the beat (talking about people who react for the first time)
I know. I love to watch a video two times in general: first time I'm usually amazed by everything, I like to watch it /listening without focusing on something in particular, then the 2nd I love to analyse it, esp focusing one the music first, then on the visuals of the video, third on the voices
No, they are not saying “money” they are saying “manhi” and it means “more”
i legit screamed "no he is not saying money" when he asked lmao
It's funny tho, I watched a few Korean reaction vids and even they are like "money?" 😂😂
Darling Spectrum ikr every reaction vid I watch they're also like 'money?'
(Edit)
Srry for my bad grammar
Wasn't it a lot......idk
Julie Perez it can mean "more" or "a lot"
Always turn on CC! :)
REACT TO ALL THE BTS CYPHERS!! YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Alot of their MVs are connected and have a hidden story or meaning. Sometimes in their songs they sing/ write about personal problems
10:57 RM moved his head to the opposite side than the rest 😂😍❤️
Taekook_armys BTS omg i just noticed
Taekook_armys BTS I think he did that on purpose along with the song and the theory in it. maybe there's a meaning with that opposite move.
@@flixionrise5494 yeah I like ur smexy brain 😂
What i like about ur videos is that u actually pause it and take the time to break down what u just watched
Dude I love how much you’re appreciating the cinematography, composition AND the choreography :,) They work really hard on it and, just, THANK YOU for. Noticing and, just, jkwncijeoibew Welcome to the fandom bro, you’re never too late-
You just got dragged into a black hole that is known as theories lol... Blood Sweat and Tears is connected to alot of their other music videos from 'I Need You' which is where the theories started and the videos after that like prologue, run, etc are basically continuing the story
React to danger dance practice and dope dance practice
It's MANHI (많이) but sounds like MONEY. Slang meaning "a lot" or "a lot of" not to get confused with MANHEUN (많은) -sounds like Jamaica's MON IN- which means "many".
I GOT SO FUCKING EXCITED WHEN THIS CAME OUT REAL SHIT
Hannah Tuila'epa REAL SHIT I WAS TRIPPEN
Prince Vero I KNOW RIGHT LIKE I WAS AN UNSTOPPABLE CLAPPING, SCREAMING SEAL
I think you would love BTS "not today" or "fire" both are very hype songs
Idc what y'all say but hobi slayed the video
Jazzmine YESS
Jazzmine yesss
8:58 Suga was the one to cover Jin eyes but Jin started laughing so they switch partners.
Um it was actually yoongi who was very energetic while doing it and keeps on laughing and screaming so they had to switch it to taetae
Taehyung (the one with his wings ripped off) is an evil angel
more of a fallen angel I guess
An angel that had sinned
OH and one more thing(IM SO EXCITED I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL) *How to distinguish the members! by voice/role*
Rapmon- you probably know him already, rapper, leader, cool and talented,,, he looks tough but is actually a huge cinnamon roll who needs to be protected
V- The dude with his wings torn off. you can recognise him by voice; it’s very rich and thick, and he also has a really wide vocal range. He was the one who did the first ahhh-hhh-hhh-hh
Jungkook- he gets a lot of lines and his voice is kinda breathy, ethereal. His eyes are like deer’s eyes xD
Jin- The statue kissing dude! His vocals are very emotional, almost a little nasal but not that much, so he sings the emotional lines of the song. He doesn’t get many lines tho :(
Jimin- The blind folded dude and the dude in the blue jacket looking sexy af. He majored in dancing so he’s. REALLY, really good at that with very powerful performances. OH AND HE’S THE SHORTEST XD. I definitely think Jimin is a visual, and, I guess his eyes are the longest in the group, almost in parallel lines.
Jhope- also a rapper and dancer. His rapping is also very powerful but kinda more hyped than Suga’s since he makes his voice go up and down(ie in Not Today)
Suga- Plays piano, looks kinda sleepy, rapper, but his voice is deep and rough, he’s savage AF with his rapping, just listen to his song Agust d
Idk if this’ll help, and I’m not trying to summarise the boys and melt them down to only their looks so I hope nothing was too offensive since I tried my best not to be, ahhh- tbh I think once you get in the loop getting to know their vocals it gets easier to tell them apart
MeganeManiacu let me guess, you’re Jimin biased? 🤔😂
Okay? Okay h OW
Why does my bias get the tiny description :(
Jhope has orange hair
Ahh Cinnamon Roll 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh god, this guy is in a 'theories' level already :D brace yourself, this is the part when your life will get all surreal now and full of confusions :D welcome to the family:))) you have a long road into theories, and when you get to the end, you'll realize that it's not even the end yet. only the beginning. good luck ;) p.s. I like your reactions, they feel very honest (not like some people who react only to get attention). that's what makes you even more welcomed into this ARMY family ;) and please, react to other BTS MVs. I suggest you to react to those in order (the release date). then you'll be able to understand the theories and it will be easier to spot connections between their videos and music, and even their choreographies, CAUSE EVEN THAT HAS CONNECTIONS!!! and sorry for my not-so-great English. thank you for reading this long comment, and once again, good luck ;) I'll keep a watch on you! :D
The dude who has the faded pinkish hair who kissed the statue is named Jin
I love seeing people's shocked faces when RM starts quoting Damien in all of these reaction videos they just abruptly stop bopping 😂
Sorry I’m spamming so much but when you said ‘did he say money’ it reminded me of something! You should react to a [BTS misheard lyrics] video😂😂 They have. Uh. A lot. Like, a L O T of misheard lyrics😂😂 Plus, it’s pretty funny xD
Yea it sounds like money but he is saying a lot...this r a bunch of talented young men!!!
u know what, in my languange "mani" means "man's cum". so its quite embarassing to sing that part in part in public.😅
running girl BRUH
running girl dat must be so awks D:
FINALLY he reacted to it lol
BTS, my babies are taking the world my storm. They have the goods to make anyone want to join the Army. Hell I am 64-years old and I am hooked.
ALT Ybor
Wait-- you are 64 years old?
Yes, I'm 64-years of age and I love BTS! That isn't surprising my other cohorts in crime are 75, and 80...LOL
Hi - I'm 65 and have been an ARMY since 2015. BTS is the greatest thing since the Beatles! I was a crazy Beatlemaniac back in the day - have loved music ever since then but these BTS boys have 1000% captured my heart. ALT Ybor - where are you from? I'm California.
ALT Ybor
I am so proud of you 😉 i am an adult fan as well ( BTS music is just great)
My mom is a massive fan and she's 70, I'm 30. BTS Army has no age limit, lol 😄
YOU'RE NOT LATE FOR THE BTS ARMY, GET YOUR ASS HERE. YOU'RE WELCOME.
damn online school got me watching every single reaction videos to BTS... 😭
The "gaaaa-ah-ah" part is my favorite part of the song, too. I'm happy someone finally said it, too bahahaha
They arn't saying money, but are saying: "Wonhae Manhi manhi..." which roughly translate to "I want you a lot, a lot...".
The video concept is based on "Demian" by Hermann Hesse, and the english that Rap Monster speaks in the red scene is a direct quote from the book. There are a crap ton of theories about the video and the ending. One of the more popular ones is based on the idea of falling into temptation and losing innocence. I kinda buy into this theory as well - especially with the part with V jumping off the balcony into the painting - as that painting is the painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus".
all bts videos have a story line and everything is tied together. even the smallest details like a hand gesture, the colors or the direction they look in has a lot of meaning. that being said, we have been struggling to figure out the story lines for years now and we still have no idea whats going on. there are millions of theories out there.
This and several videos in which RapMon narrates parts/and the video's are loosely based on a book called "Demian" by Herman Hesse. In the book, the lead character Sinclair goes through a journey of what is reality and what is illusion...a spiritual growth so to speak. In Blood, Sweat, & Tears Jin (the blonde always lagging behind) is Sinclair trying to overcome illusion and temptation. V (the one covering Jin's eyes and with the burnt wings) is trying to stop Jin from see'ing reality. At the end of the video when Jin's face cracked, that was symbolism of the illusion being shattered. Some Army's have made videos of really in depth interpretations but this is just my really brief summary. PEACE
EomeoniVee H yess this was such a good summary of the theory behind the video
EomeoniVee H good summary
hmmm, in my opinion V is and I can't emphasize enough a vague interpretation of Kromer, Abraxius and Pistorius. A mixture of those that enjoy walking on the slightly darker side of life. Demian was more of a guide character, He understood that life in general is both sides: Light and Dark... Cain and Abel.
EomeoniVee H for me all of them are Sinclair or Demain in differents parts/mvs of the era, is more simbolic in my opinion
I agree. In each of the mv's they all played Sinclair or Demian and the various characters from the book. But in this particular mv, at least to me Jin was Sinclair.
his laugh at jimin part is awsome😍👌
BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS is responsible for choosing JIMIN as my BIAS WRECKER. He looks soooo good in that video. I think Jimin is either your Bias or your bias wrecker. He is just too beautiful to resist. Especially in Blood sweat and tears. JIMIN is rocking that scarf.
Might as well start thinking about you fan account my dood bc you're officially an ARMY
...and "Once you jimin, you can't jimout."
House of Cards is amazing!
I love your reactions man you're really cool :') I identify a lot with your reactions more than any other youtuber.
That part of Jin kissing the statue, you kinda look confused lol. So, basically the story behind this song were pretty much taken from a novel called "Demian". If you want, you can check it out or read the novel LOL jokes. But the whole loneliness thingy, the angel, broken wings etc were from that novel. But, it's pretty cool how they did that, really smart. BTS's songs have very deep meanings and story behind it - they either show it in their MV's or through the lyrics of their songs.
It's a long long long story so shortly read the book "Demian" and you might get it or a little
*When Bris covers his eyes when Jin kisses the statue*
Same man.. same 😂😂😂

Why German tho
Hey I’m German wassup
Hey! I'm Albanian too. I'm happy I found another Albanian in these videos.😅
@Ruqayya ugh yeah he/She thought hindi
5:37- "I just feel like we need to take a break"
Me- *BOI HOW CAN I TAKE A BREAK WHEN JIN IS STARING INTO MY SOUL HOLY MOTHER OF MARY MY HEART IS PALPITATING*
THERE ARE A LOT OF THEORIES THAT I CANT EXPLAIN PERSONALLY BUT LOOK UP THE VIDEOS ALMOST ALL OF THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS ARE CONNECTED
This the song that turned me into an army haha this the song that snatched millions of otger girls and turned them into army's 😂
Double MMGOffical this is the song that got me into kpop lmao
Jmail M mine was BTS Save Me
SAME!!
InfiresMan93 Pardon97 one takeeeee broo that was one takeeeeeee
same
Heyo! The guy you were asking about is named Jin!
They aren't saying money (though i totally thought the same thing when i first heard the song lol), they're saying "wonhae manhi manhi" which is them saying "i want you a lot". A lot of the lyrics tie into like, well, take all of my blood sweat, and tears, just take everything. That kind of thing, you know?
And lastly! I was thinking you should totally react to BTS's Cypher series. Apparently some comments got thrown at BTS that since the rappers (Rap Monster, Suga, and J-Hope) were in a guy group, that they weren't REAL rappers. And since then on a couple albums they've done this series called Cypher, which is just the rappers and they are LIT. My personal favorites and the ones I think you should definitely check out are Cypher 3 and Cypher 4. They go hard as fuck in those. Now there aren't music videos for these songs, but there are plenty of live performances and they go even harder live. Hope this was helpful!
I really love how you actually comment on the elements they put into the video! You have a lot of insight and I appreciate your react videos to bts because it seems like you really listen to the music and catch the details in the videos. I really hope you do more!
You'rew the PERFECT person to react to things. Open minded, getting into what you're watching and truly REACT to shit! Great channel bro! Sorry for like commenting a thousand times but I'm so thrilled, this is THE BEST channel in it's category. Fire
Yo thanks to you pausing the video and asking what all the stuff with Jin and the angel wing meant, I peeped the German writing at the top of the screen (something I never peeped before) and I translated it to:
one must still have chaos within themselves to be able to (or in order to) create a dancing star
....don't know what this means but it's a breakthrough for ARMYs to figure this MV out (we've been trying to for the longest)
that is a quote by the philosopher Nietzsche
It’s related to the book “Damien”. I didn’t read it though. According to those who did the kiss has something to do with acceptance of adulthood.
For me it’s about succumbing to temptation which is what the lyrics of the song are about.
P.S. The CC button is always there for you to use when you want to know the lyrics. 😉
Just when I thought I was done with the Wings Era, I get this in my notifications lol.Blood Sweat and Tears goes hard af
Ksavage2010 I accepted I never would be you should too
The part with Jin being left from the group is in reference to something in one of the other videos they did a long time ago. Jin has always been behind the guys in one way or another. This video references Jin giving in to the dark side of Temptation.
I fricking love that you paus it! That way we're able to see your reaction for real! Otherwise you'd feel like you have to focus on the video to not miss something.
I don't usually watch reaction videos but I'm loving your BTS ones. It makes me feel like I'm also watching them for the first time again which is something because I've watched all their videos so many times that it could probably be considered a problem now haha. It's awesome as part of the ARMY, to see them gaining the recognition they so deserve. Thank you for making me smile with your videos and welcome to the ARMY! ;)
You should watch the baepsae dance practice 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥 its lit af
Susie Morales yas!

and agust d agust d this is aka suga one of the rappers from bts like rap mon😀😀
Eliza Kim yesss
Been asking for these for a long ass time lol
yeeees AGUST D PLEASE !!!
You will truly become a BTS fan when you understand the music, the videos the story line and the choreagraphy. Everything is connected. It gets a whole lot deeper plus understand how they made it. Understand that in korea its a certain standard. They came from the bottom. Now they here. What i love about them is that they give fans a great story, a puzzle and we figure it out. They are very involved with their fans which makes them stand out even more.
-LOVE FROM BTS ARMY
They're always theories relating many of the stories surrounding videos by BTS. If you want to go deeper into theories you can always look them up. And one of the best set of videos to watch with a theory around it which this video actually comes off of are from a previous album. The songs are titled I need u, prologue and run. If you really want to look into theories those would be your best three videos to watch. I think that's the order if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me
BTS -NOT TODAY
Each album has a concept many theories which makes it fun! This on is boy meet evil. Please react to Rap Monster Joke. Suga's alter ego Augst D song name Augst D and Jay Park (just signed by Jay Z) song On It!
ok bro you legit need to react to agust d tho
breah green yesss
breah green YEEE TOO MUCH SWAG
"swa~"

Loved your reaction!! This video and song are SO good. Literal art. Glad you enjoyed it!

Loven Tidus what in the world why not??
Loven Tidus lol what planet are you on? I've never seen anyone purposeful exclude taehyung from anything.
Loven Tidus you implied that he is not seen as a member of the group so I think you are the one that needs to re-word
Loven Tidus I'm just responding to your first statement lol has nothing to do with other armys and its really ignorant for you to judge all armys based off of one. I'm just saying that your first comment sounded offensive and I have never seen anyone exclude tae from anything because its usually the older boys that are left out. I'm sorry if it sounds confrontation because I'm not the best at English especially when trying to make points.
Mannnn, your reactions are so great. I just made my best friend that's an ARMY watch your reactions too and we ended up watching this one together and raving about you! Keep the BTS reactions coming! haha
Best friend in question here! Dud you just opened the door to BTS Music Video theories by asking this at the end hahaha. Welcome to BTS, I'm so excited to see you loving them and the music! There are a LOT of theories about the storyline of BTS videos and how they all connect together, ARMY have literally spent YEARS trying to figure this all out so good luck!
Boy don't worry its never to late to become an ARMY
welcome to the family.
........BTS mv has eng sub. Please turn on CC.
snow Yujin yaa. Many people just watched without turn the cc hahh. It's kinda annoyed me sometimes. Bts are just kpop idol who has subtitles on their mv. Right? If I'm not mistake
Rotten Patato that't right i'm annoying too,, O.o
Rotten Patato I know got7 have English subs too :)
Jess Georgia oh really. Oh i didn't notice that cuz i rarely watched their mv LOL
Rotten Patato yeah haha I only started listening to them about a week ago but they're really cool 😊
I think many would agree to this, Of all the reaction videos I’ve been watching, yours make sense ‘cause you actually pay attention and got to know each of our boys after some time. You weren’t there since their beginning but you caught up 💜
BRIS: I wish I knew two languages
Me: Actually, RM knows 3 languages

The boy is struggling between the good and the bad, at the end, when he kisses the fallen angel, represents the win of the bad side... love this MV!!!
Up till now, as I watch Blood Sweat and Tears. The MV becomes more deeper asf

Oh my goddd too adorable 😭😭😂😂 you closed your eyes when Jin (that is his name) kissed the status hahah and welcome to ARMY! Lol (once your in there’s no out 👀 lol)
Christina, enjoy the concert in Los Angeles. BTS is going to slay that audience. Our seven guys transcends language barriers. They offer pure talent. That is why I love BTS, and will always support and protect them.
you’re officially an Army, you asked about a theory and the members names it’s over lol.
