@@アキコ2003well nah that’s not true mate, a person who lost their mother in a brutal murder case was one of stephanie’s mukbang murder stories, & seeing your mothers murder being told while they were eating tons of noodles & junk food, it is definitely in bad taste lol. This person posted on reddit about how stephanie hadn’t responded to their emails or comments requesting the video being taken down, she didn’t see them but once she saw the reddit post she reached out to remove out. but just imagine, don’t act like you wouldn’t feel offended cause i certainly would.
@@アキコ2003 did you actually even pay attention to my comment? I said MUKBANG TRUE CRIME. not just regular mukbang, but doing mukbang while talking about true crime. of course just eating isn't insensitive, but munching on ramen and fried chickens while talking about someone getting tortured, mutilated or sexually abused is obviously insensitive and gross. anyone with common sense would know that. also, giving valid criticism ≠ bullying. stephanie is a normal human being just like the rest of us, she made mistakes and fucked up but she grew from it and is learning to be better which is why I said I respected the fact that she has improved. if I was her "bully" like you said why would I bother to comment that in the first place jfc
@@maira.azzara you would comment that while being the bully because you twotter cancel people have a fake high sense of morality and want to dictate other people's lives even tho you're probably worse than them and made worse mistakes.
1 million people marched in peaceful protest against president park and her apathy about it all. The families created a charity society for truth and a safer Korea. BTS secretly donated $300k to that fund (which at the time was ⅓ of their income that year) & met with the families of victims. There was a government blacklist of celebrities who spoke up about the injustice and corruption. 10k people were on that list, including the director of the movie parasite. BTS had to wait til 2017 to put out spring day, when the ferry was salvaged. When you watch the mv for spring day, please watch the explanation by Italian army. There's so much symbolism related to the ferry disaster, you gotta see her point them out to catch them all. Even the clock on the wall, Jin inserting a coin into a washing machine, it's all related. It's a beautiful song, and they did an amazing job with that mv! It's such a tragedy . I remember when it happened. My husband and I were like wtf?! Because the news at the time was so sketchy and conflicting. Thanks for watching this. 💜
@@brianna058 wasn't trying to. She mentioned them in this video and I expanded on her answer. I offered a little more info, and if you like BTS or not so be it, but it doesn't change the fact that the mv they made to go with their song about missing friends and loved ones was a lovely tribute and reminder to "never forget" as they even say in the mv. It's not like I went on some random tragedy and irrationally threw BTS in there, , SHE mentioned them in the video. jeez. Why are you so concerned that told a relevant story that just so mentioned BTS, who were also Relevant? Hope you have a genuinely good day.
This is such a devastating situation and when people say “ well the kids should’ve not listened to adults” it makes me angry because at the end of the day there are hundreds of other people to blame than the victims. Following directions should never have a price to pay 💛💛
especially if the instructions don't come from random people but your own teachers; they kept telling the students to listen to the instructions over the speakers I think that if the teachers would have veen thinking for themselves and told them to get out, they most likely would have really everyone is so much to blame but the students, this is peak victim blaming
Agreed. This is a tragedy where the culture itself is kind of to blame. Where "the government is correct, and we must agree with them because they silence those who don't." I mean, look at all the crap the government did to hinder the rescue, even when there was a chance to evacuate the passengers they were continuing spreading rumors and lies. And they responded with surprise when no one was buying their bullshit or called them out on it. Blaming the victims is stupid, it's the whole system that's broken. Yes, these students could have thought independently, but how can they when their government criminalizes that very action and has done so for generations?
I think doing spring day now would be good even if it is out of order. It’s just so heartbreaking and watching it now when you’re already in this funk is better then being hit with it again later. BTS not only made spring day but also donated money to the foundation that was owned by the parents… in secret because anyone who showed support and called out the negligence from the government were blacklisted at that time. So yeah, not only did BTS go out of their way to support the victims families but also could’ve been blacklisted from the industry. I adore the boys and spring day, which has never left the Korean charts since it’s release in 2017. I’ve watched a lot on this incident and it just gets more infuriating and sad. Its terrible to think about, let alone the victims family and friends living through this.
@@afreepotatochip8765 Not really. Spring day was just part of the repackaged album of wings, it wasn’t the title track of an entire new album. Not today and spring day we’re very much singles for me.
You can’t watch this and not cry man. I’ve seen another video of this and it’s honestly so tragic all those young souls lost because the adults they trusted and government failed them. Stephanie is amazing at explaining these kinds of situations and tragedies, love her videos. Thanks Loui.
Every army watching this, knowing damn-well Tribe Loui is further down the line gonna go into a very specific moment in BTS' discography fully prepared to understand the implications and the meaningfulness
What I find insane, every time I watch a doc on the tragedy, is that they thought that the deaths of over 300 people is nothing compared to their reputations. If they had asked for help, they would have been praised for their quick action. No one would have question it, but instead here we are almost 10 years later. That reputation is forever damaged and it doesn't matter who is in power the stain is there.
THIS! The US had been chill with South Korea for years at that point. They had ships just kicking it in the Yellow Sea! They could have helped with no hesitation. As many flaws as the US has, one thing it has always had down in military training and expertise. My father is an Air Force Veteran, and he told me that the entire military has one thing in common from navy to marines to Air Force to coast guard: Train with the odds stacked heavily against you. All of their training missions are done with the odds NOT in their favor. They train for the worst. Starting a rescue mission with more trained professionals than there are people to rescue with during the first hour is odds stacked heavily IN their favor. Those ships have EVERYTHING! Food, blankets, medical supplies and staff that are trained to deal with traumatic injuries like bomb detonations (so things like crushed limbs from cargo falling doesn’t necessarily mean that person dies). And most of those boats don’t travel alone. They’re usually in a fleet of 3 or 4, so that means hospital transport in extreme cases could have been possible. And THAT’S JUST THE US! I know Japan and Korea have a very rough historical relationship, but at a time like that, any and all help should have been welcome. I can’t think of a time where a country was ever criticized for accepting help from a known friendly country. Especially with the way the US loves to have their nose in everyone’s business.
what angers me so much is there were so many rescue options they could’ve done to save those kids and other passengers in no time. like the possibility of them surviving is at 70% if they just did SOMETHING 😭 nobody had to die. :(
I didn't watch her video until now bc I just...couldn't bear it. Italian Army's explanation of Spring Day already destroyed me multiple times but there were so many facts I didn't know about the tragedy in this video...I'm once again shocked beyond belief. Thanks for giving me the courage to watch through it. All my love goes to the people out there, who lost someone. I'm sending you a virtual but warm hug.
It's because Italian's vid focus more on the parent's, the victim's friends more while here Rotten Mango highlight the pov of the victims, the ones involved. So watching both give you the full look on the story.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was. More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
After years of the release of spring day, this song is still on the charts of South korea, I known this story for years now and this still makes me cry like a baby, I can't even describe how wrong and tragic it is, like i can't understand how all those people that were involved in the case are humans, or have feelings, it doesnt makes any sense
The original video was a very painful video to watch. I came across it when Spring Day was related to it years ago and charted for years - still. Thank you for diving deep. I found it was too much though I sat all the way through back then but without this narrator. Life is precious and the way these kids died was ridiculously unfair. ITs traumatising. May they all rest in peace.💜💜💜They will never be forgotten ❤❤❤
Her videos are so indepth and well researched. You should watch the one she did on the Itaewon Halloween Tragedy. I know a lot of us were watching it unfold online and it was very sad to see another instance of the government failing to protect and save their youth. It is like fate that you ended up watching this video specifically because this knowledge you know have will come back later.
Yeah this is tough one.. also I’m sure Ryker will have it available when you get it to it but there would be a video that also explains how the mv to spring day also relates to the the tragedy. Bts definitely have big hearts
Rotten Mango pretty much summed up horrifying details of the event well. But honestly, as terrible as the details she's providing are, let me just say, Tribe Loui, the documentary of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy is so much more difficult to watch in full. To try to absorb what your eyes see: the tormented, helpless parents (some of whom reportedly committed suicide); the traumatized but honorable divers, driven by the strength of their wills, who could do nothing but try to at least recover as many bodies as they could, but only after-the-fact (some divers reportedly lost their lives after making too many dives); the desperate civilian fishermen, frantically risking their own lives to save as many as they could (imagine their shock, realizing they were the only ones really doing anything at all); the memorial wall lined with a mountain of flowers beneath the portraits of each victim... And then there's the available footage (on UA-cam, last I checked) that the father of the boy who filmed his experience and gradual final moments alongside other students on their deck, while remaining in their tilting cabins that was quickly filling with water. This young boy (who his father described as athletic) was turning into a man in those final moments of his young life as he came to realize that he was in a Titanic situation, and bravely began recording his goodbyes to his family. I'm not much of a cryer, but all this footage destroyed me to watch. Like you, I wanted to look into this tragedy because of how it related to "Spring Day". But then it felt like the least anyone can do now is to watch the actual documented events out of respect to the memories of all who did not survive, those who had survived, and the broken-hearted loved ones left behind....all those voices who were not heard or respected out of astounding negligence, self-serving entitlement and a despicable level of utter greed. 💔 Thanks for taking the time to react to this very important story as it's being told, Tribe Loui. Your kind soul keeps me with you... you're good peeps💜
i knew about bts since 2019 but 3 of my family members passed away during covid in 2021 and i randomly came across SPRING DAY.......im so glad that bts came into my life at the right time
This is like a stacking doll of corruption and failures. No one should have died it’s enraging. So. Many. Failures. Spring Day and Bogoshipda Army. 💜💜💜
I saw the 20 minutes of footage for the first time and It haunted me, I couldn't stop crying... just the audacity to play with human lives like that. It's terrifying how much people don't value the lives of children.
This whole story is just heartbreaking.. Ever since i learned abt this tragedy, listening to Spring Day by BTS just hits so much harder :( I cry every single time.. Rest in Peace to all that lost their lives💛
I am subbed to Rotten Mango as well but I avoided watching this video when it dropped because I knew it would make me cry watching it alone, but I decided to watch it with you Loui. It is such a tragedy, it is insane how there are so many people involved in this who just did not care
Bruh this shit here always brings me to tears. I can't even imagine the pain both the children and parents were feeling. I'm glad you're watching rotten mango, I have watched every video and am up to date with all her stories. It gets intense man. Much love! 💜
I've watched every explanation video for spring day, live footages, parents and families videos and Stephenie's explanation too and even your vid and i cry every single time. It's so heartbreaking...every single time
Hearing about this tragedy always makes me cry. I think breaking from the plan to watch the Spring Day MV + explanation videos will give the understanding of the song more depth after watching this.
i've known about sewol for years and even after so long i'm still so mad and devastated by it. i can't begin to imagine the pain of the familys and friends. but i love that you're getting into stephanie. her videos are so informative and respectful and i think your added opinions on top of hers make a very interesting worthwhile watch❤
This tragedy makes me cry every time I watch anything pertaining to it. I will never get over the sheer negligence and stupidity of how everything was handled, and my heart hurts for all of the precious lives that were impacted and tragically lost. 💜
this one made me so mad even hearing it again with you i just could not fathom how there were so many ways people could have been saved. its so true that death is more fair than life because simple imprisonment is not even enough of a punishment for all the people liable for the great loss.
The whole Sewol Ferry tragedy was so damned horrible. The ship wasn't supposed to turn more than 5 degrees at a time because it was so top heavy. They knew that it would capsize if it made a turn shaper than 5 degrees. I love BTS so much for using their music to raise awareness of what happened during the tragedy. Thanks to them and people like Rotten Mango and Italian ARMY, the victims have not been forgotten. I've watched almost an hour of this, but I can't watch any more. It just hurts my soul too much.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was. More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
The government also banned people from criticizing them publicly - any entertainer/celebrity that did so would be blacklisted from appearing on TV. Knowing this is key to understanding BTS's song "Am I Wrong?" when you get to it - because they took a huge risk releasing that song at the time they did.
This story is the perfect description of righteous, tragic fury. Bless all of the people who risked their lives and most gave theirs for children. This never gets easier to watch.
Ahh though i knew this tragedy and knew this will be hard, i just had to watch again, knowing it was by Rotten Mango, and reacted by Tribe Loui. Thank you!
Im so glad Stephanie is getting more recognition and more people are reacting to her content. The amount of research and care that goes into these videos is insane and more people need to know about these tragedies and crimes so they can be prevented.
Tribe Loui - you now need to watch Spring Day by BTS along with Italian Army’s explanation. Its out of order but well worth watching after this video. Riker will guide you to the correct ones. Spring Day will forever be the queen.
This disaster makes me bawl everytime thinking of the fear and suffering of those victims of this total mass murder. Seeing the water rise to your ankles and going up rapidly, hearing other kids screaming in fear and desparation. Banging on the windows trying so hard to get out of the ferry. Feeling so lonely and betrayed while missing their family members and thinking of never seeing them again while being so scared and frantic. I feel so much sadness and dissapointment to this case. So unfair, horrifying and dreadful to think about and put yourself in their shoes. These children were FAILED. I hope those responsible even a bit for this accident, *no, disaster/murder cant close their eyes without seeing the corpses and fear they caused to these innocent children and their teachers or parents.
You are the best loui. Idk if you know that how good we feel watching these random videos and BTS videos with you some of us don't really have friends in real life watching these videos feels like we are watching it with a friend you are amazing it's always so fun.✨thank you!!!❤
This was so hard to sit through. I don't think there is an ARMY that hasn't looked into Sewol because of the Spring Day video, but Stephanie and the Rotten Mango channel gave information I wasn't even aware of. There are not enough words to describe how heartbreaking this tragedy was. Greed is and still sacrifices and tramples, South Korea is not the only example of this... America does it every time there is a mass shooting and those in power who are payed by the NRA refuse to put in regulations. Instead you have states like Texas who get rid of even needing a gun license. S. Korean President Park was apparently not against blacklisting any and everyone who went against her or her policies, that BTS and I'm sure many others gambled on when their time could be censored. It was also later found that Big Hit donated money to the families of those involved with this tragedy. Mind you, this was before they became the multimillion dollar company they are now.
Bts has a song about this incident. "SPRING DAY" which has released in 2016. Spring day is like a national anthem for Korean music. Even in 2023 it's still charting on Melon music streams. Spring has all the hearts of armys. ❤❤
i knew about the. tragedy but never in this detail, and i knew it wouldve been really triggering and heavy to watch this so i put it off for a month but i finally watched it. the amount of anger, sorrow, helplessness and most of all just pure disgust i felt in this video has been a lot. but im glad to be more educated than i was before
Vids about the Sewol Ferry are always really hard to watch. And there's just even more that can't even fit in on this video, it's insane. I highly recommend watching her video about the Itaewon Halloween incident. So many of us were online seeing it happen in real time and it was absolutely the most horrific thing, but it's another good video of hers to watch.
I just wanted to add that since the news was being suppressed @7:41 people in media that were trying to speak about the incident were silenced and many people including celebrities were blacklisted.
I’ve been wanting to watch this after watching the Itaewon Halloween one. But I’ve been holding it off because I cried for the Itaewon one and knew I would probably end up doing the same because I always get emotional about reading/watching about this incident. But I’ll watch with you! Thanks for diving into this.
i cried the whole reaction through. and i felt so proud when she mentioned BTS at the end. And the fact that spring day has charted since release and never left the chart is proof how much korean people love what they did. and it may remind them of their loved ones. spring day is now the longest charting song in korea ever. has been over 6 years now it´s crazy
There is a breakdown of the Spring Day video which has some footage of this horrendous tragedy, but the New York Times did a documentary on it a few years ago. But brace yourself. It is absolutely heartbreaking and very hard to sit through.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was.

this case needs to be more widely known. i saw Stephanie's video about a month ago and it has haunted me ever since. so many lives lost and not enough people know about it and how grossly mishandled it was. 😢
I have been watching these videos of this tragedy several times but it still makes me cry and mad each time. Its so scary and eerie to see that many people just being pure evil at the same time. It's almost feel like it wasn't real.
Dude.. I was seriously crying my heart out because of this video 😢😢 This tragedy hit me so freaking hard 'cause I was their age and in high school just like them at that time... That's why I can't help but shed tears every time I listen to BTS's 'Spring Day' 💜 May their innocent souls find solace and tranquility in the embrace of eternity 🤍🕊️
this tragedy is a whole shock for the entire world. we were mourning for a long time and cussing the government. korean celebrities are speaking up about this. one of these nights by red velvet, spring day by bts and the light by the ark are my favourite symbolism songs of this tragedy. still sad for the victims
idk if i can watch this.. the first documentary i had seen about this tragedy had left me extremely depressed for week with sudden urges to cry everytime it crossed my mind which was a lot.
i know you are way long before you listen to Spring Day if following the order of the album. Spring Day is the queen and is related to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, i hips you can make exception
You had the realest reactions man. You don't have to have kids to feel the frustration and anger with every lie the government revealed. Just despicable and so so heartbreaking.
the way the government responded and denying all the help at the start has everything to do with saving face culture that's so prevalent in east asia. Sadly it cost many souls.
I love Rotten Mango but I put off watching this one because I knew it was going to be rough. After hearing BTS' "Spring Day" for the first time and learning what it was about, I was already devastated. But when I saw your video, I decided to watch with you. It was easier "having company" but I still had to pause and take breaks four times because I kept getting so angry. It's not often you see gross incompetence on that kind of scale. I lived in New Orleans for almost a decade and it reminded me of a few years ago when the Hard Rock Hotel being built in the French Quarter started collapsing, killing three construction workers and injuring many others. One of the bodies was recovered after a few days, but the other two remained inside that partially collapsed building for TEN MONTHS while city officials argued over how to deal with the unstable structure. Family members could literally be across the street knowing their loved one was in there, but they couldn't get them to lay them to rest. We all had to walk or drive by this building knowing there were two dead bodies in there, and that the structure could finish collapsing at any moment. Definitely not the same scale as far as the amount of lives lost, but still ridiculously incompetent in handling the aftermath. It always comes down to people being greedy, and then not wanting to take responsibility.
I heard bts spring day and it’s explanation it was so sad and devastating because of that i knew about this tragedy i cannot believe foreign media’s didn’t cover it much ! You should hear that song with mv and its explanation!
I’ve watched videos of testimonies of the divers that retrieved the bodies,, they looked so unsettled and traumatized. One couldn’t even live because he’d see the kids’ faces every time he closed his eyes, so he committed suicide.
As you go through BTS discography you will run into the queen ‘spring day’ which is about this tragedy. You need to see the MV and the explanation. Its all related.
I never knew the whole story. But I felt like so frustrated about all the shit that could have been done. And nothing was done!!!. I'm American and American frustrates me but my God the dam ignorance of South Korean. The U.S navy had everything everything!!! Ego and Pride all for what.
this is the first time i watched the detailed explanation about the tragedy because I can't stand watch it alone, i cried multiple of times during the watch
Um the only thing is that Spring Day wasn't directly inspired by this tragedy. Namjoon has previously shared that he wrote it in a park after seeing a leaf fall from a tree. The timing of the song coincided with this tragedy and struck a note with the Korean population since it's a song about missing your loved ones. It's always been speculated that the music video has references to the tragedy, but I don't believe that's ever been explicitly confirmed? Regardless, it has references to Omelas and the song references Snowpiercer, both of which have some parallels to the kind of greed and lack of empathy that resulted in the ferry tragedy. BTS /did/ get put on a blacklist by the government at that time, along with some other celebrities, for donating to the victims' families. As with many of their donations, they did so privately but it was reported on and they confirmed it after the fact. It later came out in 2020 that BTS had actually personally met with those families during mourning. BTS were only in their second year after debut at that time, and so the families worried they would be blacklisted so they prayed for them. It's very touching, BTS have always cared more about doing what's right than about optics.
YO.... TL!!!!! I'm not supposed to cry today 😭💔. I'm in the middle of celebrating JK's bday 😭 and I'm under the influence of henny and soju 😭. I cried so bad with BTS spring day MV and lyrics and then the explanation video hundreds of time since it came out. And I've also cried to this video twice already and now again 😭I feel my heart not sinking like a heartbreak but it was coming up to my throat where I literally had a ball in there and I literally felt the pain and I couldn't breathe and just cried ugly ugly. But you did make me choke in my tears cause you made me lol when you said anything nice BTS would pop up and say HI ...the hand waved had me too 😅😭 Queen Spring Day will always be at the top!! And ppl need to be aware of this as well. I pray time to time for the families and for anyone that's involved or just hurt by it like you and me. They don't want us to forget especially the citizens of SK so Army or not.. we should never forget.💜🎗 TL do a reaction to BTS Spring day followed by the explanation video.
I love Rotten Mango channel.. they covered a lot of cases.. but this one, oh man.. really hurts to see hundreds of innocent school kids being a victims to such greed of those in power..
This is so tragic, especially knowing how close the US Navy was with the correct equipment and personnel to make a full rescue operation successful. Had the president of SK not been so prideful the mission could have been a feather in their cap with the narrative being their quick thinking of utilizing the resources nearby....Yada, Yada, Yada. Still angers me that this unnecessary & unfathomable tragedy occurred
Honestly, with how the government "handled" this and Itaewon Tragedy, it makes it quite clear why Koreans wouldn't want children. Who would, in a country where 100% preventable tragedies were only worsened by people who are meant to make it safe.
I love Stephanie. She is so respectful and very detailed when covering crime cases and tragedies.

This is such a devastating situation and when people say “ well the kids should’ve not listened to adults” it makes me angry because at the end of the day there are hundreds of other people to blame than the victims. Following directions should never have a price to pay 💛💛
especially if the instructions don't come from random people but your own teachers; they kept telling the students to listen to the instructions over the speakers
I think that if the teachers would have veen thinking for themselves and told them to get out, they most likely would have
really everyone is so much to blame but the students, this is peak victim blaming
Agreed. This is a tragedy where the culture itself is kind of to blame. Where "the government is correct, and we must agree with them because they silence those who don't." I mean, look at all the crap the government did to hinder the rescue, even when there was a chance to evacuate the passengers they were continuing spreading rumors and lies. And they responded with surprise when no one was buying their bullshit or called them out on it.
Blaming the victims is stupid, it's the whole system that's broken. Yes, these students could have thought independently, but how can they when their government criminalizes that very action and has done so for generations?
I think doing spring day now would be good even if it is out of order. It’s just so heartbreaking and watching it now when you’re already in this funk is better then being hit with it again later.
BTS not only made spring day but also donated money to the foundation that was owned by the parents… in secret because anyone who showed support and called out the negligence from the government were blacklisted at that time. So yeah, not only did BTS go out of their way to support the victims families but also could’ve been blacklisted from the industry. I adore the boys and spring day, which has never left the Korean charts since it’s release in 2017.
I’ve watched a lot on this incident and it just gets more infuriating and sad. Its terrible to think about, let alone the victims family and friends living through this.

Not really. Spring day was just part of the repackaged album of wings, it wasn’t the title track of an entire new album. Not today and spring day we’re very much singles for me.
And red velvet!
You can’t watch this and not cry man. I’ve seen another video of this and it’s honestly so tragic all those young souls lost because the adults they trusted and government failed them. Stephanie is amazing at explaining these kinds of situations and tragedies, love her videos. Thanks Loui.
Every army watching this, knowing damn-well Tribe Loui is further down the line gonna go into a very specific moment in BTS' discography fully prepared to understand the implications and the meaningfulness
What I find insane, every time I watch a doc on the tragedy, is that they thought that the deaths of over 300 people is nothing compared to their reputations. If they had asked for help, they would have been praised for their quick action. No one would have question it, but instead here we are almost 10 years later. That reputation is forever damaged and it doesn't matter who is in power the stain is there.
THIS! The US had been chill with South Korea for years at that point. They had ships just kicking it in the Yellow Sea! They could have helped with no hesitation. As many flaws as the US has, one thing it has always had down in military training and expertise.
My father is an Air Force Veteran, and he told me that the entire military has one thing in common from navy to marines to Air Force to coast guard: Train with the odds stacked heavily against you. All of their training missions are done with the odds NOT in their favor. They train for the worst. Starting a rescue mission with more trained professionals than there are people to rescue with during the first hour is odds stacked heavily IN their favor. Those ships have EVERYTHING! Food, blankets, medical supplies and staff that are trained to deal with traumatic injuries like bomb detonations (so things like crushed limbs from cargo falling doesn’t necessarily mean that person dies). And most of those boats don’t travel alone. They’re usually in a fleet of 3 or 4, so that means hospital transport in extreme cases could have been possible.
And THAT’S JUST THE US! I know Japan and Korea have a very rough historical relationship, but at a time like that, any and all help should have been welcome. I can’t think of a time where a country was ever criticized for accepting help from a known friendly country. Especially with the way the US loves to have their nose in everyone’s business.
Spring Day to this day hasn’t left Korean charts. It’s known as the Queen
stop making this tragedy about bts.
@@brianna058 The video talks about the song Spring Day, stfu.
Kpop stalkers always finding a way to make this about kpop🤦🏻♀️ no one cares smh, no one cares.
a song charting doesn’t bring back 250+ dead children.
@@brianna058no one is spring day is about the tragedy and koreans relate to it and love it
@briannadianne4536 You're very weird spamming this under every BTS comment when they're literally mentioned in the video, get a damn life.
what angers me so much is there were so many rescue options they could’ve done to save those kids and other passengers in no time. like the possibility of them surviving is at 70% if they just did SOMETHING 😭 nobody had to die. :(
Absolutely! This is what angered me the most. This tragedy was completely avoidable. Most, if not all of those students, could have been saved.
I didn't watch her video until now bc I just...couldn't bear it. Italian Army's explanation of Spring Day already destroyed me multiple times but there were so many facts I didn't know about the tragedy in this video...I'm once again shocked beyond belief. Thanks for giving me the courage to watch through it. All my love goes to the people out there, who lost someone. I'm sending you a virtual but warm hug.
It's because Italian's vid focus more on the parent's, the victim's friends more while here Rotten Mango highlight the pov of the victims, the ones involved. So watching both give you the full look on the story.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was.
More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
After years of the release of spring day, this song is still on the charts of South korea, I known this story for years now and this still makes me cry like a baby, I can't even describe how wrong and tragic it is, like i can't understand how all those people that were involved in the case are humans, or have feelings, it doesnt makes any sense
The original video was a very painful video to watch. I came across it when Spring Day was related to it years ago and charted for years - still. Thank you for diving deep. I found it was too much though I sat all the way through back then but without this narrator. Life is precious and the way these kids died was ridiculously unfair. ITs traumatising. May they all rest in peace.💜💜💜They will never be forgotten ❤❤❤
Having empathy should be a requirement for any public service job, what the actual f*ck is wrong with people?
Damn, every time I even think about those kids, my eyes water. Out of anger and sadness.
Her videos are so indepth and well researched. You should watch the one she did on the Itaewon Halloween Tragedy. I know a lot of us were watching it unfold online and it was very sad to see another instance of the government failing to protect and save their youth. It is like fate that you ended up watching this video specifically because this knowledge you know have will come back later.
that one had me crying my eyes out. i love stephanie.
Yeah this is tough one.. also I’m sure Ryker will have it available when you get it to it but there would be a video that also explains how the mv to spring day also relates to the the tragedy. Bts definitely have big hearts
Rotten Mango pretty much summed up horrifying details of the event well. But honestly, as terrible as the details she's providing are, let me just say, Tribe Loui, the documentary of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy is so much more difficult to watch in full. To try to absorb what your eyes see: the tormented, helpless parents (some of whom reportedly committed suicide); the traumatized but honorable divers, driven by the strength of their wills, who could do nothing but try to at least recover as many bodies as they could, but only after-the-fact (some divers reportedly lost their lives after making too many dives); the desperate civilian fishermen, frantically risking their own lives to save as many as they could (imagine their shock, realizing they were the only ones really doing anything at all); the memorial wall lined with a mountain of flowers beneath the portraits of each victim... And then there's the available footage (on UA-cam, last I checked) that the father of the boy who filmed his experience and gradual final moments alongside other students on their deck, while remaining in their tilting cabins that was quickly filling with water. This young boy (who his father described as athletic) was turning into a man in those final moments of his young life as he came to realize that he was in a Titanic situation, and bravely began recording his goodbyes to his family. I'm not much of a cryer, but all this footage destroyed me to watch. Like you, I wanted to look into this tragedy because of how it related to "Spring Day". But then it felt like the least anyone can do now is to watch the actual documented events out of respect to the memories of all who did not survive, those who had survived, and the broken-hearted loved ones left behind....all those voices who were not heard or respected out of astounding negligence, self-serving entitlement and a despicable level of utter greed. 💔
Thanks for taking the time to react to this very important story as it's being told, Tribe Loui. Your kind soul keeps me with you... you're good peeps💜
i knew about bts since 2019 but 3 of my family members passed away during covid in 2021 and i randomly came across SPRING DAY.......im so glad that bts came into my life at the right time
This is like a stacking doll of corruption and failures. No one should have died it’s enraging. So. Many. Failures. Spring Day and Bogoshipda Army. 💜💜💜
I saw the 20 minutes of footage for the first time and It haunted me, I couldn't stop crying... just the audacity to play with human lives like that.
It's terrifying how much people don't value the lives of children.
I swear, the story of this always gives me chills. may the students affected by this tragedy be in paradise and peace.
This whole story is just heartbreaking..
Ever since i learned abt this tragedy, listening to Spring Day by BTS just hits so much harder :(
I cry every single time.. Rest in Peace to all that lost their lives💛
I am subbed to Rotten Mango as well but I avoided watching this video when it dropped because I knew it would make me cry watching it alone, but I decided to watch it with you Loui. It is such a tragedy, it is insane how there are so many people involved in this who just did not care
Stephanie and Tribe Loui in one video? Sign me up. That being said, I saw her video about Sewol when it came out and she did so well on it.
Bruh this shit here always brings me to tears. I can't even imagine the pain both the children and parents were feeling. I'm glad you're watching rotten mango, I have watched every video and am up to date with all her stories. It gets intense man. Much love! 💜
I've watched every explanation video for spring day, live footages, parents and families videos and Stephenie's explanation too and even your vid and i cry every single time. It's so heartbreaking...every single time
Hearing about this tragedy always makes me cry. I think breaking from the plan to watch the Spring Day MV + explanation videos will give the understanding of the song more depth after watching this.
i've known about sewol for years and even after so long i'm still so mad and devastated by it. i can't begin to imagine the pain of the familys and friends. but i love that you're getting into stephanie. her videos are so informative and respectful and i think your added opinions on top of hers make a very interesting worthwhile watch❤
I’m from the UK and I remember the tragedy being on the news. It’s just as devastating now as it was then. ✌️💜
I'm crying with you while watching this. As a parent I can only imagine how harrowing this was for all the parents there.💔😞
Once you know of this tragedy, SpringDay will hit so much more.
This tragedy makes me cry every time I watch anything pertaining to it. I will never get over the sheer negligence and stupidity of how everything was handled, and my heart hurts for all of the precious lives that were impacted and tragically lost. 💜
this one made me so mad even hearing it again with you i just could not fathom how there were so many ways people could have been saved. its so true that death is more fair than life because simple imprisonment is not even enough of a punishment for all the people liable for the great loss.
The whole Sewol Ferry tragedy was so damned horrible. The ship wasn't supposed to turn more than 5 degrees at a time because it was so top heavy. They knew that it would capsize if it made a turn shaper than 5 degrees. I love BTS so much for using their music to raise awareness of what happened during the tragedy. Thanks to them and people like Rotten Mango and Italian ARMY, the victims have not been forgotten. I've watched almost an hour of this, but I can't watch any more. It just hurts my soul too much.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was.
More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
The government also banned people from criticizing them publicly - any entertainer/celebrity that did so would be blacklisted from appearing on TV. Knowing this is key to understanding BTS's song "Am I Wrong?" when you get to it - because they took a huge risk releasing that song at the time they did.
This story is the perfect description of righteous, tragic fury. Bless all of the people who risked their lives and most gave theirs for children. This never gets easier to watch.
Ahh though i knew this tragedy and knew this will be hard, i just had to watch again, knowing it was by Rotten Mango, and reacted by Tribe Loui. Thank you!
I’m glad that I’ve watched this with you. This is very heavy for my to digest alone but this should be known. Thank you Loui.
Im so glad Stephanie is getting more recognition and more people are reacting to her content. The amount of research and care that goes into these videos is insane and more people need to know about these tragedies and crimes so they can be prevented.
i was crying watching this, so heartbreaking and unfair
Tribe Loui - you now need to watch Spring Day by BTS along with Italian Army’s explanation. Its out of order but well worth watching after this video. Riker will guide you to the correct ones.
Spring Day will forever be the queen.
This disaster makes me bawl everytime thinking of the fear and suffering of those victims of this total mass murder.
Seeing the water rise to your ankles and going up rapidly, hearing other kids screaming in fear and desparation. Banging on the windows trying so hard to get out of the ferry.
Feeling so lonely and betrayed while missing their family members and thinking of never seeing them again while being so scared and frantic.
I feel so much sadness and dissapointment to this case. So unfair, horrifying and dreadful to think about and put yourself in their shoes.
These children were FAILED. I hope those responsible even a bit for this accident, *no, disaster/murder cant close their eyes without seeing the corpses and fear they caused to these innocent children and their teachers or parents.
You are the best loui.
Idk if you know that how good we feel watching these random videos and BTS videos with you some of us don't really have friends in real life watching these videos feels like we are watching it with a friend you are amazing it's always so fun.✨thank you!!!❤
I've watched videos about sewol ferry so many times already but I still cry everytime I watch it. It's the most heartbreaking incident.
This was so hard to sit through. I don't think there is an ARMY that hasn't looked into Sewol because of the Spring Day video, but Stephanie and the Rotten Mango channel gave information I wasn't even aware of. There are not enough words to describe how heartbreaking this tragedy was. Greed is and still sacrifices and tramples, South Korea is not the only example of this... America does it every time there is a mass shooting and those in power who are payed by the NRA refuse to put in regulations. Instead you have states like Texas who get rid of even needing a gun license. S. Korean President Park was apparently not against blacklisting any and everyone who went against her or her policies, that BTS and I'm sure many others gambled on when their time could be censored. It was also later found that Big Hit donated money to the families of those involved with this tragedy. Mind you, this was before they became the multimillion dollar company they are now.
This makes me so upset and sad but I think it’s important for more people to know about this tragedy
Bts has a song about this incident. "SPRING DAY" which has released in 2016. Spring day is like a national anthem for Korean music. Even in 2023 it's still charting on Melon music streams. Spring has all the hearts of armys. ❤❤
i knew about the. tragedy but never in this detail, and i knew it wouldve been really triggering and heavy to watch this so i put it off for a month but i finally watched it. the amount of anger, sorrow, helplessness and most of all just pure disgust i felt in this video has been a lot. but im glad to be more educated than i was before
Vids about the Sewol Ferry are always really hard to watch. And there's just even more that can't even fit in on this video, it's insane. I highly recommend watching her video about the Itaewon Halloween incident. So many of us were online seeing it happen in real time and it was absolutely the most horrific thing, but it's another good video of hers to watch.
I just wanted to add that since the news was being suppressed @7:41 people in media that were trying to speak about the incident were silenced and many people including celebrities were blacklisted.
I’ve been wanting to watch this after watching the Itaewon Halloween one. But I’ve been holding it off because I cried for the Itaewon one and knew I would probably end up doing the same because I always get emotional about reading/watching about this incident. But I’ll watch with you! Thanks for diving into this.
i cried the whole reaction through. and i felt so proud when she mentioned BTS at the end. And the fact that spring day has charted since release and never left the chart is proof how much korean people love what they did. and it may remind them of their loved ones. spring day is now the longest charting song in korea ever. has been over 6 years now it´s crazy
There is a breakdown of the Spring Day video which has some footage of this horrendous tragedy, but the New York Times did a documentary on it a few years ago. But brace yourself. It is absolutely heartbreaking and very hard to sit through.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was.

I cried my eyes out when i watched this video. Good luck Loui!!! ☠️☠️☠️
this case needs to be more widely known. i saw Stephanie's video about a month ago and it has haunted me ever since. so many lives lost and not enough people know about it and how grossly mishandled it was. 😢
I have been watching these videos of this tragedy several times but it still makes me cry and mad each time. Its so scary and eerie to see that many people just being pure evil at the same time. It's almost feel like it wasn't real.
CANt wait to see you video on the sampoong mall
excited to watch this w you, bro. it's a really hard story to hear but it's worth knowing
Plus the coast guard actually SABOTAGE the equipment of the civilian divers, they were cutting/burning the tubes/rubber from the O2 Tanks
Dude.. I was seriously crying my heart out because of this video 😢😢 This tragedy hit me so freaking hard 'cause I was their age and in high school just like them at that time... That's why I can't help but shed tears every time I listen to BTS's 'Spring Day' 💜
May their innocent souls find solace and tranquility in the embrace of eternity 🤍🕊️
to be real, i couldnt watch this by myself but ill watch with you
Also, may I say that BTS (and Namjoon specifically) taking on writing a song and creating a video that speaks to this tragedy was brave and beautiful.
this tragedy is a whole shock for the entire world. we were mourning for a long time and cussing the government. korean celebrities are speaking up about this. one of these nights by red velvet, spring day by bts and the light by the ark are my favourite symbolism songs of this tragedy. still sad for the victims
idk if i can watch this.. the first documentary i had seen about this tragedy had left me extremely depressed for week with sudden urges to cry everytime it crossed my mind which was a lot.
i know you are way long before you listen to Spring Day if following the order of the album. Spring Day is the queen and is related to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, i hips you can make exception
You had the realest reactions man. You don't have to have kids to feel the frustration and anger with every lie the government revealed. Just despicable and so so heartbreaking.
the way the government responded and denying all the help at the start has everything to do with saving face culture that's so prevalent in east asia. Sadly it cost many souls.
I love Rotten Mango but I put off watching this one because I knew it was going to be rough. After hearing BTS' "Spring Day" for the first time and learning what it was about, I was already devastated. But when I saw your video, I decided to watch with you. It was easier "having company" but I still had to pause and take breaks four times because I kept getting so angry.
It's not often you see gross incompetence on that kind of scale. I lived in New Orleans for almost a decade and it reminded me of a few years ago when the Hard Rock Hotel being built in the French Quarter started collapsing, killing three construction workers and injuring many others. One of the bodies was recovered after a few days, but the other two remained inside that partially collapsed building for TEN MONTHS while city officials argued over how to deal with the unstable structure. Family members could literally be across the street knowing their loved one was in there, but they couldn't get them to lay them to rest. We all had to walk or drive by this building knowing there were two dead bodies in there, and that the structure could finish collapsing at any moment. Definitely not the same scale as far as the amount of lives lost, but still ridiculously incompetent in handling the aftermath. It always comes down to people being greedy, and then not wanting to take responsibility.
I heard bts spring day and it’s explanation it was so sad and devastating because of that i knew about this tragedy i cannot believe foreign media’s didn’t cover it much ! You should hear that song with mv and its explanation!
21:50 I think its footage of the cars moving inside. You can find it
Red velvet has a song about the victims and BTS have a song for the survivors, you should watch them both
He is her husband now 😂🩷 they got married last month!!
The government and officials not letting volunteers and civilians help sounds a lot like Maui right now...
I’ve watched videos of testimonies of the divers that retrieved the bodies,, they looked so unsettled and traumatized. One couldn’t even live because he’d see the kids’ faces every time he closed his eyes, so he committed suicide.
Stephanie soo!!! Oml yes I love her sm never would imagine you would react to one of her videos but I’m her for it
As you go through BTS discography you will run into the queen ‘spring day’ which is about this tragedy. You need to see the MV and the explanation. Its all related.
Damn, Just woke up and this is the video waiting for me 😭, but gonna watch it again for you guys also because "Don't Forget"
Just started watching but thought to let you know that the fiance is a officially the Husband now 😂 just a little side note 💜
The outro was very much needed after watching a video like this
21:16 I saw a New York Times report about the Sewol and it said it had been found the boat had been illegally modified to carry more cargo.
As BTS said in their amazing song Paradise : "All the breaths you breathe are already paradise"
30:08 that quote about the fairness of death was really deep
I never knew the whole story. But I felt like so frustrated about all the shit that could have been done. And nothing was done!!!. I'm American and American frustrates me but my God the dam ignorance of South Korean. The U.S navy had everything everything!!! Ego and Pride all for what.
I'm looking forward to seeing you listen to Spring day 🥺💜 This accident is really sad😢
Can't wait for Spring Day reaction now.
this is the first time i watched the detailed explanation about the tragedy because I can't stand watch it alone, i cried multiple of times during the watch
Um the only thing is that Spring Day wasn't directly inspired by this tragedy. Namjoon has previously shared that he wrote it in a park after seeing a leaf fall from a tree. The timing of the song coincided with this tragedy and struck a note with the Korean population since it's a song about missing your loved ones. It's always been speculated that the music video has references to the tragedy, but I don't believe that's ever been explicitly confirmed? Regardless, it has references to Omelas and the song references Snowpiercer, both of which have some parallels to the kind of greed and lack of empathy that resulted in the ferry tragedy.
BTS /did/ get put on a blacklist by the government at that time, along with some other celebrities, for donating to the victims' families. As with many of their donations, they did so privately but it was reported on and they confirmed it after the fact. It later came out in 2020 that BTS had actually personally met with those families during mourning. BTS were only in their second year after debut at that time, and so the families worried they would be blacklisted so they prayed for them. It's very touching, BTS have always cared more about doing what's right than about optics.
Please watch their esquire interview 2020
It has been confirmed that Spring Day is about the tragedy. Like the person above me said, watch their 2020 interview.
YO.... TL!!!!! I'm not supposed to cry today 😭💔. I'm in the middle of celebrating JK's bday 😭 and I'm under the influence of henny and soju 😭. I cried so bad with BTS spring day MV and lyrics and then the explanation video hundreds of time since it came out. And I've also cried to this video twice already and now again 😭I feel my heart not sinking like a heartbreak but it was coming up to my throat where I literally had a ball in there and I literally felt the pain and I couldn't breathe and just cried ugly ugly. But you did make me choke in my tears cause you made me lol when you said anything nice BTS would pop up and say HI ...the hand waved had me too 😅😭 Queen Spring Day will always be at the top!! And ppl need to be aware of this as well. I pray time to time for the families and for anyone that's involved or just hurt by it like you and me. They don't want us to forget especially the citizens of SK so Army or not.. we should never forget.💜🎗 TL do a reaction to BTS Spring day followed by the explanation video.
I love Rotten Mango channel.. they covered a lot of cases.. but this one, oh man.. really hurts to see hundreds of innocent school kids being a victims to such greed of those in power..
I heard the former government blacklisted celebrities who spoke up about this tragedy
The 15th marks the 10th anniversary of the Tragedy. Rest in piece to all of those poor souls…
This is so tragic, especially knowing how close the US Navy was with the correct equipment and personnel to make a full rescue operation successful. Had the president of SK not been so prideful the mission could have been a feather in their cap with the narrative being their quick thinking of utilizing the resources nearby....Yada, Yada, Yada. Still angers me that this unnecessary & unfathomable tragedy occurred
They just got married, so it's her husband now :)
THE SONG SPRING DAY AND MV BY BTS IS ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY I THINK
i have known about this tragedy from the song "spring day" by our boys BTS m sure you will get there
I’m so mad rn I can’t even describe it
as someone who lives in a country going through decades of political crisis, corruption is the most horrible, disgusting plague ever
Honestly, with how the government "handled" this and Itaewon Tragedy, it makes it quite clear why Koreans wouldn't want children. Who would, in a country where 100% preventable tragedies were only worsened by people who are meant to make it safe.
