Jazz Musician Reacts: BTS Jimin - Lie (Lyric + Live) | Down the BTS Rabbit Hole
#BTS #Jimin #Lie
Jimin wrote the most of the lyrics and also composed the melody for this song. The producer, I forgot their name, (Edit it's Dockism, their keyboardist lol. I totally blanked for a second :'D) has worked on other BTS songs as well such as "Outro: Tear" and they are a GENIUS! Literally every song they produce is pure gold :D
Ohhh I'll be sure to check that one out!
@@AndrewBergSax
It's a rap song playing on the double meaning of A tear vs TO tear (rip).
@Karina Holst Hebsgasrd that's really cool!
@@AndrewBergSax Absolutely loved your reaction to Lie. I'd love you to react to Outro: Tear and the live at Wembley is the best live performance. It's a rapline song that was written when they were going through a bad time and thinking of disbanding. It's my favourite BTS song.
@@lw4067 yes that is a good one to follow this! Very orchestral for some of it
I love when I see musicians hear the modulations “lie” just like the lyrics read with the hook. You always do the thing right with dool set lyrics and musically this is easily one of my favorite songs as a previous choral performer and army. I WANT YOUR WIFES REACTION TO THIS. I love the lyrics too. The song is just a beautiful package.
Awesome! I enjoy it so much and I think we'll be doing a lyric analysis in the future!
Yes. If you listen to BTS music and focus on the production and vocals, it's amazing to hear. I always TRY to focus on that😌 but sometimes it all just takes me away. Hihi 😉
@@AndrewBergSax heyy can you react to serendipity by jimin pleasee
he is singing live indeed! there is a backing track too, it's difficult to sing live while dancing so he doesn't sing the hard parts as he has to dance too. you can actually make out when he pauses singing live and resumes again. all of the bts members sing live majority of the time!! lip syncing isn't their cup of tea :P
Haha that's what I kind of thought as well!
This vid even didn't show the amazing surprise James Brown like unexpected ending but that was all cut off, plus this vid was so edited that the whole perfromance glow wasn't the same and didn't do Jimin's so legendary perfromance justice! So so sad that the safe link I kept sending with warning wasn't used. Hope this one even tho edited doesn't get removed.
Yes. I remember one time (was it for Lie? or for Serendipity?) that Jimin came out and apologized to the audience because he wasn't able to sing the entire song while dancing at the same time because of the difficult choreography.
That's not quite accurate. Lol. I mean because BTS comeback schedule was so fur some before Wings tour JIMIN indeed developed Laryngitis right before their fist stop in Chile, but still gave a flawless perform an in spite. Just that back then Jimin was an ctually still is such a perfectionist, but way harder in himself back them about giving the best always for army who don't get to see BTS in person worldwide all that much. That backstage scene that all BTS introductions seem to dwell in, wasn't even for Jimin's performance in Lie, plus it was never about JIMIN being insecure but apwatching because he was sick with sever bad throat condition, but army has twisted the truth a bit to use this as an example that he's insecure. Although when other members are crying backstage when they were unable to perform 100% because they were sick and it's even JIMIN comforting, nobody ever uses these clips to say they're insecure!! But anyway, getting back to Lie , JIMIN did not say that. It's just when he sings "Caught in a Lie" that he's not actually singing that part,, though I've been told that indeed later on during wings tour he even managed to somehow sing that part as well, inspite of the so exhausting so difficult choreography. Speaking of caught in a lie, JIMIN even said he'd not be able to hit those high notes when singing Crystal Sniw live, but indeed h sang them every time during the tour breathtakingly magnificently. It was indeed Jin who wasn't always able to do the triple note because it indeed is a bit of a strain for him to do it especially night after night! For Jin it's not as easy or natural like it is for Jimin who even before proper coaching was always able to hit those high notes, which vocal coaches always comment in with amazement! Sorry I went off a bit. But throughout the yrs too much misinformation has come out concerning JIMIN.
@@abbiea1237 ?? Can't figure out who you are replying to... I did hear Jimin apologize before a strenuous performance and, like I said, I can't remember if it was for Lie or Serendipity. Regardless, I'm not trying to spread misinformation. This is not hearsay, since it's from my own memory. I never mentioned the Chilean concert or the scene from Burn the Stage, so I can only assume you are replying to someone else.
♦️Jimin wrote the lyrics not only by himself, but was the only one to send his very first draft to the producers, and it was approved, so no need for a rewrite! The lie is the lie he keeps telling himself. Always in the past aiming for perfection and by doing so always questioning and second guessing himself! Although deep inside he knows better! The other lie is telling himself as well as everyone else that everything is alright when it's not!! Jimin has grown and changed, along with the other members since then. All learning to love themselves for who & what they are flaws and all! Jimin is now able to, as his song Promise says, shine the light on himself, as well, speaking up more when things bother him and allowing himself to laugh off whenever he makes any kind of mistake, knowing now he can always perfect or improve on whatever is lacking next time!!
That's so amazing! That's a powerful message 💜
Why nobody talk about this more. Jimin is soo talented man.
@abbiea123 He wrote the song with 4 other people... - I guess you mean he came up with the context himself (?) But he deffo not wrote the song "only by himself". Writing credits go to the following: Si Hyuk Bang / Ho Weon Kang / Su Min Park / Jimin Park / Sung Min Kim
@@lolymoon6008 ofc but since he's main part of writing that's why he have that credit.
@@savitawankhade3147 that’s not really how writing credits work aha but whatever floats your boat
Recently a couple of Korean directors of idol training school in South Korea got interviewed about the idols they trained and when they were asked if there's a boy group they think is the most skillful, they said BTS and when asked who among them is the best, they answered Jimin.
One of them explained it's because if Jimins unique voice and his ability to sing a song in a way that captures the listeners attention. She also said that Jimin, when performing, kniws how to control his breathing while singing and dancing and knows how look at the camera that will make his audience go crazy.
Another Korean who reacted to. Jimin's other solo song Filter said that Jimin sings his words that's not really the typical way of pronouncing those words, he bends and shape his singing to convey whatever emotion or message he's trying to portray.
And that's what I love about Jimin's singing, aside from his unique vocal color. He knows how to captivate his audience, how to sing a song in a way that is totally his and full of emotion.
That's really interesting insight! I would've never known about the pronunciation of the words, but that's a really interesting aspect
I think it's a reaction to his song Promise, not Filter, the one about Jimin's "pronunciation" of words while singing. Or maybe you watched another Korean who said the same thing. Anyway, yeah, same, I love Jimin's singing so much.
Even Jeff Benjamin picked Jimin as the best K-pop idol star.
Music breakdown, yes please. And lyrics breakdown from your wife, yes please.
Hahaha okay! This sounds fun 😀
Absolutely!!!! I am all for that breakdown!!!!
Everytime he goes into the chorus with "caught in a lie," it switches to major. It's like he's pretending to be happy and lying to himself about it. Music is crazy.
I know! That moment was absolutely genius
Its like ,the song wanna tell that Lie is a major.
Lie is still one of my fav songs to date, Jimin has a unique voice and the way the song was written is absolutely amazing. The feeling this song gives you is just .... the meaning behind it and the way he sings it gets me every time. He is singing live, they always sing live the backing track is there just as a support while he's doing the really hard parts. Jimin has a background in contemporary so yeah the choreo reflects the lyrics and the feeling of the song. Great reaction as always :D and I love that you go into the music part of it in depth it's really refreshing to see
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and that's awesome that he's able to sing this live!
Jimin’s ‘Lie’ is literally a masterpiece!! The composition, the lyrics, production … one of a kind!!! Just like Jimin himself 💜💜💜
I agree! 💜
In my opinion Jimin is one of the most talented singers, dancers, performers and composers EVER. Many have tried to cover Lie but no one has ever been close to Jimin's performance.. and I think that a huge reason is that it's a super personal song to him. The lyrics talk about his personal struggles (read the Note on Doolset's blog!) and the way they connect so perfectly with the melody of the song is mesmerizing (the music kinda "tells" what he's singing about). Every time, EVERY TIME! I listen to Lie I get CHILLS! One of my favorite songs ever. Also, Jimin's choreography for Lie (he danced BLINDFOLD!!)... he's unique. Thank you soooooooo much for your reaction. I loved that you paid attention to every detail, I learned so much... Thank you again Andrew!
Thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Jimin is incredible!!
For your wife: genius song First Love solo by Suga
Okay! 😀
@@AndrewBergSax as a writer I think she’d really appreciate the lyrics of first love!!! Also as a writer, there’s a sort of fan made breakdown video on UA-cam by the channel mera called ‘the writing styles of bts’ and it’s really great at explaining not the meaning behind lyrics but the actual style of each bts member when it comes to lyrics. It’s a longer video but I think your wife would probably really enjoy it as it samples a lot of their music and also manages to breakdown each member pretty deeply. Thank you so much for your awesome reactions and love y’all!
Yesss, first love is incredible. It hits so hard.
First Love blows me away everytime it’s another piece of art.
@@MariaChavez-ey5sr yes
He was singing live along with a backtrack. Millions of concert attendees will testify to this. The parts he wasnt singing he just let the part run (no attempt to lipsynch).
That's really cool!
Ya.BTS Don't use lipsync
@@savitawankhade3147 they’re terrible at lip-syncing! 🤣💜
🤧😂😂😂
Yes, 'that' is why everyone wanted you to listen to this one. 😆
I love watching actual musicians react to this song.
Hahaha the recommendations have been awesome so far 😀 I was definitely shocked by that transition
More Jimin reactions? Yes, yes. I love your breakdowns because I have forgotten all the musical training and experience I ever had. Jimin has some very elaborate and difficult solo performances and he does sing while dancing. They all train very hard to be able to do that. Of course there's a backing track because so often they layer their own vocals. I'm not sure about the recording for this particular video but I have seen several different Lie performances. Bonus comment, this is not the only time he has danced blindfolded and certainly not the toughest choreography he has danced blindfolded. Amazing performance, as always. Jimin is a bit of a perfectionist. 💜
That's so cool, I'll keep an eye out for the blindfold in the future, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@@AndrewBergSax The blindfold has to do with the song Blood Sweat and Tears and the BU storyline, you might have heard about it ;)
@Ana I've heard about it, but definitely haven't looked into it yet! That's interesting that it's related though and I think I'll have to keep that in mind when I inevitably get there!
He is singing and dancing....he is trained in contemporary dance from a young age. All of the BTS members sing and dance as well......years and years of conditioning show....
Lie is amazing definitely one of my favorites. Jimin’s live performances are literally art and gold. He’s an amazing performer. His vocals are top tier. He’s my all time favorite vocalist. His tone is unique. His voice is honey-like, comforting, healing, beautiful, and angelic. But his dancing is another level. That man is the best dancer I’ve ever seen. He’s such a versatile dancer. His dancing includes so many styles modern/contemporary, hip-hop, popping, ballet, korean dance and martial arts. What makes him unique and special is that he mixes them when dancing. He just has the most beautiful dance lines. His dancing is very artistic from head to toe. He carries and shows sm emotion in his dancing. No one can dance like him. Quote from Professionals “Jimin’s dance can’t be replicated. Jimin is like an art masterpiece that can’t be imitated.” As a dancer myself, I would luv to be able to be as good as him. He gave me the courage and inspiration to continue dancing instead of giving up.
I'm so glad he was able to inspire you and I can't wait to see him dance in other styles as well. That's amazing!
He truly was gifted with so much talent. He is my favorite dancer by far. So beautiful to watch. I also love the tone of his voice whether he is singing or just talking. 💜
Lie is a masterpiece in every way I am also very critical of the music but this song is powerfully amazing it does not have any specific genre because it is a unique piece I have never heard anything similar and Jimin is my favorite singer of all time my Favorite artist, he really is on another level, I'm still in BTS because of him. I love his voice and his dance and his solo songs are so different and always so unique. Thank you very much for this great reaction and I am very happy that you liked these songs that are always saved.
I agree, this song is so amazing and so is Jimin! 😀
Oh it was SO SATISFYING watching your facial expressions as you reacted to this hahaha. I'm SO HAPPY that you loved this song. It is honestly one of my favorite solo songs by them. It's just so unlike anything else I've heard in "pop" music and I can appreciate how amazing it is even when I know nothing about the music itself. I remember watching a video "Musicians react to BTS Lie" and seeing them all lose their collective minds over the music with the minor/major change and it made me appreciate the song on a whole other level. It's songs like this that I think of when BTS gets compared to Western boy bands. I was a huge preteen/teen fan of Backstreet Boys and NSYNC and I still will happily sing along to their songs when they are on the radio, but I have never heard them or any other group considered a boy band make a song like this. That's why so many of us are upset when media portray BTS incorrectly. Their song catalog is so diverse and it's really amazing to see them experiment with different styles, etc. I would honestly LOVE another song along these lines.
That's so cool! And I agree that they're so much different (and better) than Western boy bands! Haha
Each singles have their own performances.
20:57 If im not wrong, please correct me if i am, bts performed the whole Wings Tour with a live band, probably the reason for the electric guitar
Yes, their band Ghost and an orchestra were on the Wings tour.
No you actually right. It was also very amazing. The whole wings performances were so amazing for me. Specially the 'awake' one because they even brought people on stage to play all the beautiful instruments while Jin was singing it was beautiful
Army never really minds long videos. I would love to hear you and your wife react to a thorough breakdown.
Great! I'm happy to hear that 😀
"Every week I have a new favorite". I think it happens to a lot of us, even when we already listened to their whole discography. That's why polls about "what's your top 3 BTS songs" and similar are so hard to answer
yes! and sometimes you hear a song and on the first listen you think "Oh this is good but probably not one of my favorites."
But months later you return to it and all of a sudden you have it on repeat for weeks
Hahaha every song so far has just been so good!Aways a new favorite
@@janae8747 Yes, RM ever said he hope to produce songs that people will like them after more listening. In other words like it will grow on you like an evergreen.
Ooh it's so rare to find someone reacting to Lie these days, just because it's an older song and BTS has SO much content to enjoy. I fricking L O V E this song omg. The sound is so haunting and beautiful. I'd love to see you hear Jimin's other album solo, Serendipity. The sound is such a contrast, I love that he sang both of them.
This one and Serendipity are my favorite Jimin songs. Probably two of my favorite solo songs overall too. They both sound so cool.
P.S. "Lie: is not only one of my favorite BTS songs, it's just one of my favorite songs of all time! SO GOOD! But, like in most BTS songs, you must get into the lyrics too!
BORAHE ARMY!😁🤟💜
Namjoon stated on vlive that: "Lie"alot of you love this.its Jimin's song. This is the song i last checked since I was busy.If you watch the short, there is the fruit of good and evil. There are many things about lies and truth.I talked about this song with jimin recently.I didn't know jimin wrote the lyrics.He didn't work on lyrics or music officially before.He tried many times we worked together.We do an interview when we first make the songs.The solo songs are not a simply a concept.its not simply a character like "young forever" Or "Demian".We didn't match overself on character.our deep worries and troubles in our deepest part.there is a story to all of them.the songs are made by combining "Young forever" And "demian" Jimin wrote all the lyrics. I didn't know. It was written so well. Recently jimin told me thisthis, he said he was really happy recently.he got better and is more relaxed.before our debut since we were trainees. He was quite similar to me, he would always blame himself for his own short failing "I am not good" Or "I'm not enough" "I'm doing wrong" "I'm bad" He said he thought like that all the time. Though I keep running I'm trapped in lies, return my smile. Putting oneself into a corner. We talked about that and agreed alot.Jimin told me this story, He thought about his past self while writing.He was deep in lies in the past."I blamed myself regardless the truth"."I always thought about my mistakes, even if others didn't I would blame myself" He Wrote "Lie" While thinking about that time. So he wrote it after hard work. The producer said it was so well written and goes with the song. He said it would be amazing. Even now I can imagine this song if it wasn't for lyrics. There is nothing complicated about lyrics. It's perfect. I THINK WORKING ON LYRICS JIMIN WAS ABLE TO PROVE HIMSELF ONCE MORE. It was a step forward that's what I think.
Yes, he is both singing and dancing at the same time. He is a dancer. BTS performances are incredible because they dance and sing with live vocals. Check out their videos. They write quite a bit of their music and/or put in their input. All seven are amazingly talented. Jimin is incredible with this piece from the beginning to the ending of this piece.
That's so amazing and I can't wait to learn more about their music 😀
Don't you think the built up - {playing with chords} - that turns to a lie - fits the song - LIE - done on purpose GENIUS 💥
Absolutely! Genius!!
This is one of my all time favourite songs by any artist, not just BTS, and I will happily watch as many videos about it as you want to make! 💜
Haha okay! That makes me happy 😀
Just wish you chose the proper vid I sent, so you could have seen and analyzed the full performance along with surprise ending, since this vid ended abruptly not allowing you to see the amazing surprise unexpected James Brown like ending! You even needed to edit and keep pausing this vid. Pls still see the real full perfromance. Here's my request once again that you even responded to thanking me back then! Pls react only to this, the safest version ❤️170219 THE WINGS TOUR SEOUL JIMIN Solo Dance "LIE" by the channel army army ❤️ ua-cam.com/video/nu36j3aV1Cw/v-deo.html ❤️🔥😱😅😍💜❤️👍🙏🐥🔥 This excellently filmed fancam by midnight_show, from the channel army army is not only safest to see, even stage mix is now getting blocked, because of some of content, but shows off Jimin's dancing & choreography that much better!
BTS Outro Tear Will Also Amaze you, keep in mind they wrote it when they were considering disbanding the group, they cried alot while recording it too
Oh wow! I'll definitely check that one out 😀
UP
I’ve cried every time I’ve heard/seen him perform it. Have seen him perform it live & it’s amazing. 💜
I have zero knowledge on music, and you breaking down the technical and artistry genius of Lie makes me appreciate it another 100 times more
That's so wonderful to hear! As someone who has "zero knowledge on music" is there anything that went over your head or that I didn't explain well? And did the "The More You Know" cards on the side help? I just want to make sure I make it as easy as I can to follow 😊
@@AndrewBergSax oh yeah, definitely those helped a lot! I don’t think I would have been able to follow what you were saying without the short explanations on the side panels. Even paused for a little bit from time to time to absorb and process it a little. That was so smart to add for us pedestrians 👏👏👏
Perfect! That's exactly what I was hoping for 😀 I appreciate the feedback!
YES PLEASE - We would love a joint reaction with your wife regarding BTS lyrics!!!!
It is fascinating to hear your breakdowns - they are explained for us in trerminology we can understand and I appreciate the little boxes with info that you put up (ie: 3/4 time, etc) that help us out.... Don't worry about the length - if the info is interesting we would watch hour long videos with you..... If you are worried - split it in two with the basic info first for those who want a quick reaction and then those that want can watch the second video where you break things down fully after the initial reaction.
Basically we are watching because you have the experience as a musician, so anything you can explain to us about how they make their music so beautiful is what we want to hear - there are many reactors out there just doing it for clicks and only watch the video, jump up and down, make stupid noises and say it's great... very few reactors are like yourself with somethng constructive to say - I also like the fact that you really take the time to learn the song with doolset lyrics - you can tell that (while i'm sure you are happy for the views) you actually appreciate the musicianship and lyricallity of BTS.
Thanks for the awesome reactions, stay safe, and I look forward to more BTS from you.
Thank you so much and I am so glad that you enjoyed the video! I do my absolute best to include new things for people so I'm really glad that it's working 😊 And I'll never complain about the views, but I legitimately love this song so much 😀
It is produced by DOCSKIM and written by DOCSKIM, Sumin, Hitman Bang, Jimin, Pdogg
Very cool!
Lie is the most successful solo on the album "Wings", a song that many rookie's have covered, and it's my favorite Jimin song. The lyrics, the melody gives me goosebumps, those vocals, this song is a masterpiece that only such a talented person as Jimin can do. Thanks for your words and please also react to his other songs "Serendipity", "Promise" and "Filter" 😊💛
Yes, I absolutely plan on reacting to those songs! Thank you!
The audience will often sit quietly in Korea, and almost always sit quietly in Japan. It's a respect the artist thing. I saw them live. We screamed like idiots and they could barely talk to us. But they are so good it's hard not to scream your head off.
That's so cool! That's so different than what I'm used to for concerts!
Thank you for the comment. I was going to write something similar about the cultural differences regarding audience participation. Borahae!
What defines KPOP is it's more than the music, it's the dance, costume, perfomance ; the complete package. Jimin was a contemporary dancer b4 BTS. BTS usually has a back track, but attempt and usually do sing most of the song when dancing. BTS doesn't lip sinc. This song expresses Jimin's frustration and the tension that he feels as he discovers himself as a pop star (IDOL) I THINK you will enjoy all of the band's solo performances. They each bring something special to the stage.
Haha, I remember classical musicians reacting to this and they were like: ‘THE MAJOR IS A LIE!!! THIS IS AMAZING!’ 🤣
In regards to him singing live, basically if you can see his lips moving, then he’s singing. There are some moments he skips and lets the backing track take over, but he never moves his mouth at those points, so you can see pretty well when he’s singing and when he isn’t.
BTS (and lots of other Kpop groups) have developed not only amazing stamina, but they also adapt their dancing to not disturb their voices, like you won’t see anyone jump during a choreo and have a line while landing, the line happens either in the air or another member (who is on the ground) sings.
That's really creative that the choreography is so focused around who's singing! And yes, I've seen that video since as well!
He is absolutely singing live! BTS always sings live. Period. If they ever do use background vocals for a few measures because the choreo is really tough in a particular spot they won't even attempt to sing along with it. They NEVER lip sync. . .like, ever.
That's so cool! 😀
Thank you for this good video reaction of Park Jimin. He is my bias. I am also overwhelmed with his talent. Good look is a bonus.
Thank you! 😊
This guy loves this song! So do I. How can you not? He described it so well. I feel all of the things he describes!
Here's info that some still aren't aware of:
❤️JIMIN, at age 11-12 started studying, performing, & competing (winning every competition), in hip hop, popping (excelled), & street dancing, while attending the renowned Just Dance Academy in Busan where he's from! He was so good that an instructor even had the high tuition fee waived at one point! This was while also attending middle school, where he loved sports, being quite athletic, joined the football team, excellent at track, great at basketball, & billiards! Jimin also, all throughout his schooling, was known as a top scholar, achieving perfect scores, especially in math & science which just always came easy to him! Jimin was even class president for 9 yrs in a row! Jimin, all throughout his schooling, was also quite good in art class, as well as calligraphy.
Jimin, then also took up contemporary dance. The media, after seeing a performance of Jimin's performing at a huge Busan Festival Event, called Jimin "The rising star of Busan"!! JIMIN also studied ballet & traditional Korean dance while attending Busan High School of the Arts. Jimin still went to Just Dance Academy to take hip hop classes whenever he could because his first love has always been hip hop, even though he was now majoring in contemporary! JIMIN even had an offer to dance overseas, but declined because he also wanted to become a singer since the 2nd grade, to the dismay of one of his dance instructors who said "The world of dance was going to lose a great artist"!!
So Jimin then went and auditioned for BigHit Entertainment, (company BTS is signed with), being the very last member to join, being a trainee for only a few months (which is unheard of for most Kpop idols), as opposed to the 2-3 yrs of being a trainee the other members had! But Jimin was so good that he was assigned the official title of one of the two Main Dancers, as well as Lead Vocalist. Jimin was even assigned most of the high notes since the very beginning, because even without all that training in the beginning, he was that good, a natural born singer who, just like his dancing makes you feel every emotion and feeling he's trying to convey!
JIMIN, also, for 8 yrs, since a quite young boy, trained in various forms (4), of martial arts: Taekwondo (Blackbelt), Hapkido, Kumdo (Korean form of Kendo), & Chinese martial arts. He even won a scholarship, the only student to do so, to study more extensively in China for awhile! All the martial arts training has given JIMIN his phenomenal inner core strength, as well as his amazing flexibility, which has enabled Jimin to achieve all those breathtakingly spectacular gravity defying dance moves! JIMIN has found a way to incorporate all his various dance disciplines, as well as his extensive training in martial arts into his unique, ever so special, outstandingly amazing dancing abilities!!
JIMIN, has been called 'Stage Commander', known for his amazing, so mesmerizing stage presence. Each dance move is executed flawlessly, his extensions all the way to the fingertips, his lines so clean, his fluidity, his poise & elegance, his ever so graceful moves, but yet, sharp, quick & deliberate when required! He focuses on every detail! Known for his work ethics and being a perfectionist to a fault, spending hours in the practice room, will study every move, even focusing on hands to fingertips. Even his facial expressions, or the look in his eyes! Every single detail he focuses on. Jimin tends to take in the music and interprets all the emotion & feelings, whatever it's trying to convey through his body movements as well as his vocals.
JIMIN has won the prestigious titles for 2 yrs in a row for both KING OF KPOP, as well as also winning BEST TOP #1 DANCER IN KPOP, now 3 yrs in a row, as well!! Jimin is also referred to as "Rookie's Bible" because all rookie idols, try to emulate & study every move he makes, trying to learn from him! Aside from all that Jimin has won other countless award, broken many records. His 5 solos have broken charting records worldwide, as well as being top seller, plus most listened to. Also breaking records for being #1 branding marketing idol, every single month for now over two & half yrs, a feat never achieved before, and still ongoing! The term the "Jimin Effect" is now in the Urban Dictionary! So much more as well but will stop here.
This is incredible info, thank you so much!
"Lie" is Queen.Jimin is just beyond mindblowing and in live performance his vocals, dance, expression 😍😍😍😍
I agree!!
This masterpiece was Jimin's first songwriting serious experience. He wrote both lyrics and melody. Ever since, he only created absolute HITS! This man is beyond talented both as musician and performer 😊
P.S.: Jimin sings live like 80% of the song. Some of the parts are left to the background vocals (you can hear it, drowned out and quieter parts), like "Caught in a lie" part, but the rest is him singing. When you hear them sing all the time, it's easy to notice what is live and what is just song playing. What I like about BTS is that, even if they don't sing some part of the song themselves, they don't lip-sync aka don't pretend they are singing when they don't actually do that. They don't deceive their audience :)
I love hearing you break down the music in these videos. When you were talking about how the pre chorus was a build up and when "caught in a lie" came it was like a release... thats exactly how it feels.. Its like during the prechorus I was holding my breath and when he sings Caught in a lie, I let it out again.. BTS and their staff are a brilliant group of people and as a music lover, Ive never had music in my life that I have felt and enjoyed so much as I have with BTS.
Id love for you to see next JIMIN SERENDIPITY live performance BTS Love Yourself Speak Yourself Japan Edition & FILTER live performance D-2. A must see live performances, it's not only showcases Jimin's outstanding vocals but also his breathtaking dancing & unrivaled stage presence. I'll leave both links in the reply.

ua-cam.com/video/-BU5z1Mz8uA/v-deo.html
Thank you, I'll definitely react to these in the future!
Oh, forgot to address a couple of things. First, I've never seen BTS lipsync. They do have backing tracks for more intense choreos, especially if it's a solo song. There are certain parts they may choose not to sing because of the way the vocals for the solos are layered and for certain portions of more demanding choreo. But for those parts, you can clearly see they're not attempting to lipsync. If their lips are moving, they're singing. Although I haven't had the opportunity to see them in concert yet, I think that the song with the most impressive crowd engagement would probably be Idol. You'll see why when you get around to reacting to the song
Jimin went to dance school. He's an extremely great dancer. Yes, he is singing while performing live (they all do). This is also my favorite song by Jimin.
That's incredible! I have a feeling this will stay my favorite by him as well
Jimin's legendary "Lie" 🔥
Thanks for reacting. 😁
Absolutely! I enjoyed it 😀
Oh yeah, I knew you would love this song! You tell ARMY what kind of things you like and we are like "oh yeah BTS has a song for that." Thank you so much for the reaction. I really like the way you do your videos, you really bring something different to the reaction. Very unique from most reactors. Also, never be afraid to make a long video. We love that. I recommend checking out Louder than Bombs, it is such a beautiful song filled with emotion. Another one you might like is Outro: Tear. It is a song from the rap line, so if you don't like rap...you should still give it a shot. It is a masterpiece.
I'm not a huge rap fan, but I'll definitely give it a shot! And thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words 😊
@@AndrewBergSax Thanks for being open to it! It is a very important and emotional song for BTS and ARMY because Suga wrote it when BTS was considering disbanding. The music in it is very beautiful as well which is why I recommended it 😄
@@AndrewBergSax You might be surprised! I also never listened to or liked rap before, and I didn't even really enjoy the rap parts in BTS songs for a little bit when I first started listening (!!!). But now I really love Ddaeng, Ugh, and pretty much all the rap parts in their ot7 songs :). I think you have to get used to hearing any genre of music to like it. You should watch "Born Singer" live, the rappers' sections tell their story as a group 2 years into their career with so much passion and the rhythm and flow is just so cool (vocal line takes kind of a backseat but has beautiful singing and ad-libs in the chorus).
also, love your reaction and discussion! You should totally make a music education patreon!
@R A Thank you, and this is actually my first request to make a Patreon! I never honestly thought I could be at a point where I'd make a Patreon! That just made my day. Haha. Maybe at some point in the future! I have to find time so I can fully deliver to my patrons
@@RA-zr2fz yep, agree, I also was NOT a rap fan prior to BTS 😂🤷♂️ I am still not a rap fan for anyone else…BTS has a unique way of making rap so accessible, such an integral part of a song…
Born Singer has very emotional lyrics, and their live performances are gut wrenching (it was first released in July 11th 2013 though, a month after their debut, as a free digital track, so it covers pre-debut hardships).
One of the biggest songs of the boys' career, and for sure Jimin's best solo. The meaning and vocals always give me goosebumps, it's so perfectionist, it was one of the first songs I heard from them and loved since the first seconds.
I feel Like the build-up before the line "Caught in a lie" is like you said, it's got stepping stones but also it feels like a ticking clock. Sort of building up tension... it even has a kindof click, like a grandfather clock the and finger snaps that sort of sound like a ticking clock in a way and then the "CAUGHT IN A LIE!" is like the alarm going off!
The release of tention.
At least that's what I hear.😁
I love how smitten you are with this song! Such a good song. I go back and forth whether Lie or Serendipity is my favorite Jimin solo song. Your reaction was so much fun because you are so sincerely in love with this song.
This song is literally one of the best singles, if not THE best, I’ve heard from BTS. I love it so much, thank you for reacting to it
Absolutely! I loved it!
Okay, now that I've watched the rest of the video and read most of the comments, here's what I'll add... ( :
The blindfold or the covering of ones eyes (ears, mouth) with hands is part of much of the choreo of this period and references the saying "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Jimin is a trained classical dancer who had to learn hip hop style (and how to sing) when he joined BigHit as a trainee less than a year before BTS debuted. He is a very hard worker who started trying, around the time he wrote these lyrics, to be less self-critical. He's still trying.
The choreo of BTS' most recent songs is their simplest ever, especially PTD, as they are wanting to invite everyone to dance along with them (not just the exceptional dancers who like to post dance covers online). You will see from their mvs and live performances that they have some of the the most complicated and best performed choreo of any group... and yes they do it while singing live (with a backing track - you may notice times in live performances where they deliberately skip some lyrics to let you hear the difference).
I'm looking forward to even deeper analysis of this amazing song, and meanwhile will go check out your others.
Thank you so much for the info and I'm so glad you liked the video! 😀 This song is incredibly well written and performed and I can't wait to do the deeper analysis!
I love Jimin’s voice soooo much.💜
Yes! He's so good 💜
Lie is my favourite BTS song
I think it's mine too so far 😀
One of my favourite songs though the genre isn't really in my style. Any perfomance by Jimin is a pure art. Thank you for your reaction~
Absolutely, thank you!
I love your reaction thank you🙏
My favourite "LIE" Timeless Masterpiece by JIMIN❣
I never get tired of watching reactor reactions of this song.
Sad song yet so deep meaningful🥺
Jimin classically trained dancer and was a top student. He also learned popping and locking and is just amazing.
Oh that's incredible!
He is also a black belt in Taekwondo and studied Kendo for 7 or 8 years. There's a video Jinins experience in Marshall arts.
Wow! I'm sure that helped with his dance work as well! That's commitment!
The visible pleasure you have listening makes me smile too, you are a contagious reactor Andrew. I watch out for your reactions now knowing you will make my day brighter and happier. Would love to see what your wife's thoughts are on the lyricism behind the music. Maybe ask her to react to some songs that resonate particularly deeply with ARMY. Some examples of these are Magic Shop, Whalien 52, Louder than Bombs and Bulletproof The Eternal.
Thanks for these suggestions! I'm so glad you enjoy watching my videos and I'm glad I can make your day brighter 😊
I love the little “the more you know” boxes 🤓
Thank you! They were my way of explaining things I forgot to explain during the video 😅
This reaction is how I found you. Lie is my favourite Jimin solo 💜
Lie is a masterpiece! There so much going on in the song! The hissing sound like a snake.The unexpected major chord itself is a lie, classic text painting!
Yes, I completely agree!
yes!
So happy you love it as much as we do 💜 It’s a magical song and Jimins vocals takes it to another realm!
I absolutely agree!!
about the electric guitar, i believe during the wings tour (Wings is the album Lie is from and the name of the tour during that era.) they had a live band. so a lot of the songs have different instruments to replace the studio made sounds that they couldn’t make live. i could be wrong though, i know they had a live band during one or two of their tours and that it wasn’t a live band for every song but im pretty sure it was the wings tour.☺️
If you listen carefully, you can hear female backing vocals throughout this song. That’s Sumin, she helped write and produce Lie. Sumin is an artist herself. She’s kinda eccentric and her music is very unique. That’s why this song is so different because it reflects Sumin’s music.
That's really cool! I thought I heard female vocals as well, but I wasn't sure if they just altered some of the vocals in production
docskim the producer actually remastered/redid the song and tweeted. Said he was a young producer and BTS gave him a chance and he wasn't perfectly happy with what was release so he decided to work a bit more on it for us. It's crazy cause the original is so musically perfect to me. You might want to check out his remastered version.
Oh that's awesome! I'm really curious what he did differently 😂
(Pls read this lol). Yes bts use backing track when there dancing because backing tracks takes out the breathing sounds. But there do sing live and there voices are real. Also if you hear the sound very low were he was supposed to sing, that's how you tell is backing track. They sometimes stop singing on purpose in the middle of something to proud there actually singing because some people say that they lip sync saying it's hard to dance and sing at the same time. I do agree that is hard but BTS practices for that, they run on the treadmill and sing/rap at the same time. That has helped them a lot of developing that good breathing skills. For the electric guitar is that the song was live so the electric guitar and everything is by live band. Bts does a lot of live band when live, there back stage when preforming so there don't get in the way. I loved your relation and how you pause to talk. Have a nice day.
I'm glad you liked the video and that's awesome that they use a live band! That makes me really happy and excited to see other performances!
I am so glad I found your reactions seeing you musically geek out over this has absolutely given me a new appreciation for the song. This song and live performance are again just top notch. Jimin is trained in contemporary dance and one of the top dancers of the group, usually they sing live with a backing track, and it’s insane how good they are at dancing and singing live. Yes this fandom loooves deep dives and how the chords etc would be interesting. For lyrics with your wife I’d love to see her react to Singularity in particular which has more complex lyrics.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and it's amazing what they're able to do live. I'm glad you'd like to see more breakdowns, and I'll be getting my wife in on the fun soon!
@@AndrewBergSax a dancer said his dancing flow changes with his key change as well. He is so cool.
Yes...he's singing LIVE while doing this beautiful choreography. I saw him perform it LIVE few years ago. Miss them so much. Had 4 tickets to see them again last year at MetLife Stadium which got postponed and then officially cancelled. 😭💜 My hearteu hurts, but everyone's health & safety is priority.
"First love", written, produced, composed and performed by SUGA is a must. Incredibly emotional and personal song about music
Yes, I will definitely be reacting to that one!
YESS it was lie in the poll after all!! and i am ecstatic about it, i am so glad you liked the song🥺 it's literally one of the best bts songs overall in my opinion even though it's a solo - the details, the cross from minor to major in the chorus, the instrumental in general, it's absolutely brilliant and jimin's unique haunting gorgeous vocal is just the icing on the cake.
(also side note, i think you will also love still with you from that poll so i am looking forward to it too soon, thank you for loving lie!!)
Thank you, I'm definitely going to react to that one soon!
I would watch three videos on this song!!!
Awesome, because I'm really excited to do that. Haha
YYESSSSS PLS DO ALL THOSE VIDEOS ABOUT LIE. It's my favorite BTS & JIMIN song!
Hahaha awesome! I'm excited for them 😀
I watched your deeper breakdown, and came back here just to see the look on your face when the chorus dropped. 🤣😂🤣💜
Lie is a masterpiece. Jimin never ceases to amaze me. Btw, best reaction ever. 👍
Thank you so much! 😀 And yes, Lie is absolutely epic
30 minutes plus video with deep analysis? Yes.🤗
Hahaha okay 💜
the pauses actually made me burst out laughing, the music for them too lol, thank you for the genuine laugh :)
Hahaha glad you liked them 😂
Yes to the 30 min. musical breakdown!
Awesome!
So happy that you did get a chance to react to this, but was so hoping you react to the link I sent you that was a way safer Fancam, that indeed showed better that JIMIN was indeed singing the whole time, except for when h esang 'Caught in a Lie'. This wansntbthe best vid to see, it didn't even show the surprise unexpected amazing ended ing , nor could you really get to see Jimin's phenomenal dancing to best ability, as well as the equally amazing choreography and the backup dancers. I'll leave the link and request I left you once again in hopes perhaps you can see it at least in your own! I just hope this version you for some reason chose to see stays up and doesn't get removed, though it looks like it's been edited possible already so you could see it. So sad that this performance wasn't seen in its entirety like I hoped it would as week as to do Jimin's amazing legendary performance justice.this is exactly why I kept sending you and warning you to only see the Fancam version.

It's a waltz! That's so interesting. There is a bit of a dancing with oneself and going in circles feel to the song, in terms of lyrics I mean. The song feels like Jimin is talking to himself, and it seems like a commentary on mental health in a lot of ways. Very interesting, thank you for the breakdown 🤗
Absolutely, I'm glad you enjoyed it! That's interesting how you mention it's like he's talking to himself because I totally get that
it’s an era when jimin chose to stop being someone he wasn’t, this muscled hip hop bad boy looking guy of their debuts (which was cute, bad boy jimin was not credible, so cute). He stopped lying to himself and showed hi gracious, elegant, sensitive self through his dance, his words. He also wrote « promise « later on, an answer to lie… this young man is very moving, and very impressive at the same time. 👌💜
Jimins Promise
Thanks for reacting to Lie ! Jimin so talented , he is so unique and amazing.
This video is a better one to react to, please react to it next thank you ua-cam.com/video/nu36j3aV1Cw/v-deo.html
Absolutely!
Afaik he sings to a backing track so when he gets out of breath or feels unstable vocally, he can mute himself and the performance will be whole.
I don't know if there are fanchant moments for Lie, or if the audience sometimes sings parts of it. From the concert videos I have seen, BTS audiences are relatively respectful, compared with an average pop or rock concert audience. They seem to be able to sense when it is their time to join BTS, or whatever. Sometimes, the big screens will tell the audience that it's ARMY Time, and they actually will sing along to most of a song, using Korean lyrics on the screen that have been romanized so they can pronounce them. There is a famous instance of this, where at one concert, I think it was one of the Wembley concerts, ARMYs coordinated with the BigHat concert staff to do an ARMY Time to the song Forever Young, to celebrate a birthday. I think it was Jin's birthday, though I may be wrong. Anyway, it completely surprised BTS, all of whom ended up crying from the love and astonishment they were feeling.
I'm an older person with a lot of life and professional experience, and when I write comments, it kind of seems like I know a lot because time lends a particular credibility to a writing voice. However, I have been BTS ARMY for less than 2 years. I have never seen them live, in person. I'm just sharing things that I have picked up from watching video footage all over the place, and I may be misremembering sometimes, or also misinterpreting. Anyway that's my information disclaimer, LOL.
I love the disclaimer, and that's so interesting! That's so cool about ARMY Time 😀
@@AndrewBergSax actually, the young forever singalong at wembley was not for a birthday, it was just because bts sold out two nights at wembley stadium and it was a historic night for them and for music in general (they were the 12th artist to ever sell out wembley and the first non-english speaking one), so armys wanted to make it special for them, two days they will remember. and army time is not generally a thing, armys sing along all concert long at every concert anywhere in the world (though we do have fanchants, sections of every song that we specifically sing along to together, but some people try to sing the whole song if they can hah). also, the "army time" disclaimer with korean lyrics was only for the young forever wembley situation. but heather was not far off!!
@@AndrewBergSax ah yes, what @kat said... the "Yout Forever" surprise in Wembley was a unique moment to surprise the entire band because headlining Wembley was a huge deal to them. We received "ARMY sing!" instructions on the big screens to sing that song to them instead of them singing the very last encore song of the concert.
"ARMY Time" is displayed at every concert (at least has been at every concert I've been so far), and it signifies the moment/song when all fans hold up the slogan banners that were prepared as fan projects. Previouly, local fan bases in the different countries would organise this, with approval from BigHIt (fans submit suggestions, then polls on slogans and designs are held, moneypool collected to cover printing costs, and then the slogans are distributed to every seat in the venue). This is part of the communication between band and fans, as we tried to come up with meaningful slogans that picked up on some key elements in their lyrics, trying to give back some of the comfort they continuously offer us, and show our appreciation.
In 2019, some fanbases were struggling to organise all of that, because doing this on the scale of an entire stadium is a huge undertaking (compared to arenas previously), and so now eventually bighit decided to help organise (they hold votes for slogans/desings on their fan community app weverse now, and take care of producing the winning slogans, at least while there were still concerts with an audience).
Actually Jimin is the No.1 Male Dancer of Kpop for 3 years now. And He also hold the title King Of Kpop.
That's really cool! He's so good
Now I get why it hits me so hard! I’d love to hear more
I would love to see a lyric breakdown with your wife😊😊. I would recommend black swan their song from their album map of the soul 7+ performance. It has very good lyrics and music production, I think it’s more classic music then the song that you have already listen. Thank you aging for this amazing reaction. Lie is definitely a good song.
That's great! And I also enjoy classical music 😀
Saw him do a live performance of this on tour and deadass screamed my head offffff
Hahahaha I can imagine 😂 this song is just so good!
Yeah he’s singing live. You can here it when he sings s sounds with the way it sounds through the mic
BTS songs have their fanchants. There is the song that we are singing along and highlighting some of the words and Most often also there is additional lyrics for ARMY to sing in the songs, that are not parts that BTS sings.
This is one of those songs that is so unique in how magnificent it is! And I love jimin’s voice ! Add to that, his over the top dance talent and charisma in performing- you really have a masterpiece!
I completely agree!
I would love to hear your wife's thoughts on their lyrics, both a musician and a writer, perfect combo
I know, it should work out really well 😀
Thank you for your great evaluation of Jimin's song. I also like "lie" the most out of Jimin's solo songs. Please continue to make good videos about Jimin.
Lie is my absolute favorite song.
Jimin wrote the lyrics and helped with the production of it, as well as contributed to choreography. This song is very personal to him, and he says he doesn't quiet like it, because it reminds him of the time he was in a very bad place, as, in his words, this song was about how he would punish himself over mistakes no one else cared about or noticed, and would constantly repeat a mantra of "You did wrong, you are bad, not enough" which is his lie.
Then, while this video performance is amazing, it's the curated version per sè? It's been edited into a clearer sound for DVD and Blu-ray distribution. But to answer this question, Jimin _ALWAYS_ sang this song live, not all of it, he generally doesn't sing the "caught in a lie" part because with this choreography is too exhausting, but he always sang most of the song, including the high note at the bridge. In fact, his biggest pressure and cause of unimaginable stress and anxiety during this era was perhaps this song and performing it, as Lie quickly became the most expected song of the tour, and Jimin refused to shift it a few keys lower to make it easier, because Jimin is nothing but an ambitious overachiever, and extremely professional.
Lie is a song that always hurts, not just because of the lyrics and Jimin's story with it but because I also relate. It's personal to me, and I always love to see people who love music's reaction to it.
That is all so amazing. He is truly an incredible person and performer. I can't wait to see more from him 😊
@@AndrewBergSax he is amazing!!! Truly one of the best performers of this generation, in general all of BTS are brilliant, but Jimin always shines brighter in my eyes.
This song makes me into music production years ago. Their music is really a good inspiration for me to start doing music too, specially this song like DENG I COULD TALK ABOUT IT FOR DAYS. I have a friend who just got into bts and I gave him a music lesson about this song for a whole day😭👌
That's so cool! This music is amazing and definitely an inspiration!
Usually while watching reaction videos i skip some parts but ur one of few channels that i watch without skipping. Love it. Keep going
That's awesome! I'm glad I can keep you entertained 😊
I really shook , when I watching Jimin “ Lie “ for the first time , this live is awesome 😍❤️
Yeah, he's awesome!
Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole.
I was too a general public listening to BTS, once you start listening their songs from old to new and watching all their performances, you will not be able to get out.
Not to mention their BTS Universe (the connected storyline behind some of their music videos)
Also once you watch their additional reality show, you will like this guys more and more.
If you like Jimin performances, you can react to Serendipity and Filter.
If you like something more classical you can go with Black Swan official MV and Blood Sweat and Tears. (they 7 members songs), beside these two, I think you will like Fake Love as well.
BTS are very versatile, they have hip hop, rap, classical, pop, etc. It all depends on your preferences.
Thank you for these recommendations! I'm loving the music so far and want to incorporate some of their other content on here as well 😀 I'll definitely check out some of those songs soon!
please give us the breakdown of this song... I am such a music nerd (both vocal and instrumental --> I played violin for 13 years and have been singing choral music for 11). I most definitely would watch a 30 minute video of the breakdown of this song because it's one of my favorites from Jimin!
Also, the live performance has a backing track because of the intense choreo, but yes, he is singing live.
Wow, that's great! Out of curiosity (I'm asking people who are musicians), did you get anything new from my reaction or did you know most or all of what I said? Just genuinely curious to know my audience better!
@@AndrewBergSax I actually got a lot of new information! It’s been 3 years since I played the violin, so I often have to listen a few times to pick up on all of the musical elements. Since I’m primarily a singer, I tend to pay more attention to the vocal tones, dynamics, phrasing, and quality of the vocals. I definitely learned a lot about the composition of the song and your video made me fall more in love with it!
That's great! I'm so glad you got something from it. My focus the past few years has been on composing/arranging so it's really helping me hear things better. I've been watching voice teacher reactions recently to try to learn more about that side of things. Thanks for the info 😊
@@AndrewBergSax voice teacher reactions are another favorite of mine recently as well as instrumental covers to hear how other musicians perceive the music and include their own nuances. Thank you for making such informative videos!
Thank you! Out of curiosity, what instrumental cover groups do you like? I really like that music as well 😀
