We all know Jimin can sing, so the autotune isn't to hide anything, it's just an artistic choice and it makes the song really interesting IMO. I loved it 💜
That's what we armies are saying but the haters are behaving like they are the fandom of bts not us. Gas lighting everywhere when we didn't ask if they like the song or not
@@anushkatripathi7 ofc we will sit back and enjoy
loved it too. Some ppl need to educate themselves more, sigh.
I still can't believe there's people in this day and age that are still complaining about auto tune, everything in this present world has evolved including music and is still evolving. Some people just need to go back to the stone age era.
You are very right 💜💜💜 thsnks
As Namjoon always says, "Get a life, man!!"
We ARMY only have to ignore them. They're all jealous of our boys.
Truly the greatest group who keep caring for ARMYS with their non-stop hard working! Their lyrics are always full of life lessons
Reslly?! Who does that!
jimin till these days is the member who most get hate comments, received death threats during tours, was mocked A LOT especially with people saying that he was "too feminine", so when he said "fuck all your opps" and "i won't stop even if they mock me" I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL
Father came to end kpop and it's only the pre-release track😂
The hate makes no sense to me. This song is so powerful.
Also, yes the moon tattoos are real (so is the Nevermind on his ribs and the little 13 you can see briefly).
The hate is literally stemming from a campaign by other KPop fanbases to sabotage Jimin because they know he could really make it big. They’ve been planning this for months. They even plan to mass stream Lana Del Ray album on the 24th to out-stream Jimin. K-pop fanbases are really very toxic. It’s a shame they are weaponising the black community and getting him dragged for using black slang ‘opps’ - for opponents, when he really used the abbreviated version of the word opinions. He said “f*** all your opps” not f*** all YOU opps.
And forever young above his elbows, and 7 tattoo on his finger
Not to be delusional and saying that everyone on this planet must absolutely love this song, so it makes sense that to some people this may not be their taste, but if one is going to heavily critique another artist’s hard work and their creative choices, they should read up on whys behind the choices, and if still don’t like it, then can still respectfully dislike a song. What I see is everyone just dismissing the song and the artist without knowing anything about the song and even the artist (his voice is naturally unique like that?! Not every part of the song was heavily auto tuned. It was just the rap part and intentionally done.)
So even though there may be some genuine respectful people who don’t find this song in their taste (which is totally fine), I think most of the hate comments are by BTS antis from other Kpop or even western pop fandoms and also unfortunately from within Army fandom between the solo akgaes. I think this song has been mostly received pretty well as I’ve seen a lot of hyped reactors on here. Fortunately, It appears that the akgaes and antis agenda to dismiss and discourage the people who actually enjoyed the song is not working too well at the moment.
@@MelloYellow1328 100% THIS. It’s also great to see that the YT reactors understood the use of the auto tune and grasped Jimin’s artistic choices.
@@MelloYellow1328yes, whole stan twitter is literally hating on him and calling him really disgusting things which he doesn't deserve, the autotune thing is obviously an artistic choice which these kpop fans don't wanna understand
This song has taken my respect and appreciation for Jimin as an artist to the next level, he took a massive risk with this song and it has paid off. Not everyone likes it but that's life, no matter what you do in life it's impossible to please everyone so in the end just do you. And am glad Jimin did him and am here for all of it. What a master piece, the more i listen to it the more i love it.
I agree! Great words
This song is so powerful. It's his breakthrough and it's so beautiful to see his growth in all aspects. He's an incredible entertainer and he really sold the intention and message of the song with that performance. His vocals were so good and I love how he used the autotune for an artistic direction to further tell the story. I can't tell you how happy I was when I saw him dancing cause I really wanted him to dance at least on one song on the album and ofc he ATE and those supporting dancers killed it too🔥 shout-out to Sienna Lalau and The Lab who are part of the creation of the choreography. They have worked with the Tannies on many occasions💜 lastly I will never forgive him for what he did to me when he took his shirt off😂💀 I'm still trying to recover 😭
Choreography credits in order
- Bangster/Lee Byung Eun (Hype Performance Director and Hobi’s friend from Gwangju who he brought to Big Hit)
- Yoon Seongeun (Hype Performance Director, he was also one of the dancers in the MV)
- Kim Minsung (Hype Performance Director)
- Sienna Lalau of The Lab
On Bangster (been w Big Hit since at least Wings era and was Hobi’s primary collaborator from Boy Meets Evil to Chicken Noodle Soup and Lollapalooza, but is now BTS’s primary Performance Director)
Exactly. And it’s not like all of the vocals are autotuned for that effect. We still hear his beautiful voice. And yesss I’m so happy that they like having Sienna and The Lab participate in their projects. Very talented dancers.
This song blew my mind!
What a masterpiece! Jimin's vocals and dancing was absolutely amazing!
I also love how we got a glimpse of his Nevermind tattoo and his moon tattoo on his back.
I don't think my heart is ready for this album but I'm so excited!!!
70 year old Army here. The artistic choice of autotune is there for a reason. It represents what is going on with him and what was going on with him during Covid. The dark feelings of anger and burden of the hate and death threats he has been receiving over the years are also probably in the mix. I love this song and will support Jimin in all of his endeavors because I am ARMY!!!
Me too fam :) Im 54 and ARMY since 2018.
the auto tune and distorted reverb was use to make the aggressive forceful statement for all the haters, ''shut up'', ''fuxx off'' was done beautifully. i loved everything about this song and the video. the dancers were amazing, this was pure performance art at it's best. jimin did a wonderful job, the angel has become ferocious.
as a Jimin utted I was also thrown off by the autotune since I have literally never heard his voice with such distortion but I understood quickly why it was used and I’ve learned to enjoy it now. the only people hating on this song are the ones who enjoy hating on him for shits & giggles and he’s clearly sick and tired of them so what’s why he released this (among other reasons) and I’m extremely proud of him for doing so. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
He knew he'd be mocked. He could have played it safe, and did this instead. I'm so proud of him. 💜
Yeah I agree. Im in love with BTS and all the members but i'm not a huge fan of the auto tune (in any song in general) but I absolutely love the deep meaning of this song so I know that he chose to distort his voice for a specific purpose. It's an amazing and emotional song IMO
This is a masterpiece! Everything about it is impressive, Jimin is creative, fearless and a genius performer.
honestly the more i listen to it the more i love it. lots of people who are not bts fans were saying he can't sing because he used autotune. some army was not expecting the autotune, so they have to warm up to it. I personally liked it from the start and like it the more i hear it.
I had the same reaction - also caught off guard by the voice distortion but knew that it was an intentional artistic choice (and it made me appreciate hearing his raw voice even more in the second section). I felt the same about the repetitive chorus; like you said, a song doesn't really hook me if it seems to have just one line (I don't mean this song has only one line because it obviously doesn't). But when I re-watched again and again and read a range of comments and reactions, especially notes on the choreo, it all came together for me. It's a concept piece - not trying to be a banger that appeals to the masses, but more of a vehicle for Jimin to express raw/accumulated/pent-up frustrations. And the choreo is amazing - love being able to see all the details in the dance practice. Jimin's dancing is perfection. I love how in-depth they are in fleshing out their concepts and giving us thought-provoking cues ("they" meaning the members and entire production and choreo and visual team).
Perfectly described what i felt about this song and the artistic choice
The way your comment perfectly summed up/described all that I was feeling/my thoughts on the song etc 😭💗
I absolutely love the song. He went deep and dark yet hopeful. I can't wait to hear the main album track.
Rainer Maria Rilke's german 1899 poem "I Live In Ever-widening Circles" (choreography-hint?) painted on Jimin's body:
"I live my life in ever-widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I will give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: Am I a falcon, a storm or a great song."
But the moon phase tattoo is one of his real tattoos.
💜
Personally think this is a masterpiece. It’s easily made it up to the top of my ultimate fav song list I don’t know much about the aave, so if I can comment on the other noises that are autotune and repetition of one phrase…,they were both every bit intentional and Jimin was involved in every part of the creative process. Autotune, as a lot are saying, is a choice to add angst and frustration to struggles with an inner voice. Heavy autotune was added only to the rap part, not throughout the entire song, unlike some people are mis-spreading. It’s a conversation between multiple inner thoughts. Other members of BTS have used autotune to make a strong point as well, and the whole industry does it. I hate overused autotune myself, but once i realized why it was used, I can really grow to appreciate it. It’s autotune used tastefully, cleverly, and artistically in this case.
Also this is meant as a theatrical performance piece, the key message to this is obviously to set oneself free. The instrument, choir, and vocal adlibs build upon each repetition to add to the determination and strong desire towards wanting to be set free, but the major pull is the choreography with the dance crew which adds so much to make you immersed in the storyline of one’s struggles… you feel it!!! So it’s to be watched and listened to as a package. Jimin has given out a couple of interviews describing the thought process behind his first solo album which he was intimately involved.
One thing for sure, he said this album follows a storyline (struggles especially during covid period and how he overcame to start anew as an own individual artist apart from the group that is BTS). This is the last track of the 5 (excluding the English version of like crazy), so Jimin shared the last page of the book to us first. I’m nervously looking forward to the prequels of this song in the upcoming album. Jimin never disappoints and always exceeds my expectations, and I’ve been a fan of him for 6 years. This was a masterpiece in my book.
Jimin king 👑 of kpop
Yes! He is 💜
also for the people saying dont use auto tune, jimin is not here to sing ballads for you. he can do what he wants, hes an artist and a musician
❣️ Jimin has actually many real tattoos :
- "NEVERMIND" title of Suga’s song that inspire him that’s on his right side upper ribcage
- "Youth" behind his left ear
- moon phases, evolution from his neck, down his spine, to the bottom of his back
- "young forever" one word on back of each upper arm
- "13" on his wrist holds special meaning to Jimin bday (oct. 13) + BTS debuted (june 13)
- "7" on his finger (matching tattoo , all 7 members of BTS got on various parts of their body)
All I could notice in this video the first few times I watched it was how incredible Jimin is and how impactful the song is. His singing, the choreography, the choir, and the aesthetics are impeccably done. It wasn't until hours later after reading responses in social media that I realized there was hate towards this song. Thank you for reminding people to be respectful. Jimin is such a beautiful person and so is the message of this song.
look at 12:27 how quick the background dancers get in formation!! The whole choreo is such a masterpiece with lots of meaning, just like the song! Also the formation at 12:27 is not just a swirl, at least imo, he talking about an dead end in a maze in the lyrics!
Or a coccoon or a chrysalis or....
So much depth to the song and choreo, Jimin is the artist who melts my heart. 💜
Jimin is totally fearless. He didn't play it safe and the discourse this song is generating is making people take notice. I've seen reactors who never seen KPOP or BTS jump on the band wagon. There is method to the madness.
Just when you think you’re as impressed as you can be about the choreo you watch the dance practice and are in awe again witnessing the finer details, the synchronisation and that ground shake. WOW.
Jimin is perfect art in motion.The Song is amazing. His talent is out of this world.💎💎💙💙
There are always insecure haters every time Jimin does something(even he breathes).
I think you know who and what I am talking about. I am sure you have seen them.
We just sit back and enjoy what Jimin creates (amazing piece of art) while haters are whining.
According to Korean legendary singer,
Na Hoona said, real superstar should be able to make not only his fans crazy but also haters crazy.
Therefore, Jimin is clearly superstar without doubt.
Thank you for reacting and listening to Jimin's song and dance. 💛💛
Love this! Love your honest reaction. I think your reaction was majority of ARMY too when this MV dropped but then it grows on you and you then understand why the things you pointed out - the auto tune, the repetition of Set Me Free in the latter part... it all makes sense eventually. And let me also add, Jimin is so brave to say the things that were said in this song. Bravo Jiminiiieeee!!!
For me, “Set Me Free pt2” is Jimin’s anthem. Right away the musical score made me think of a battle raging to represent Jimin’s internal battles with himself, the voice distortions represents his negative thoughts, all the haters, and those who used their words to diminish him. I remember in an interview (I forget which one) Jimin said he used to hate being alone because of all the thoughts in his head and they scared him. I presume these were negative thoughts, the demons that come at you when you’re alone and whisper in your ear that you’re not good enough, not handsome enough, you cant sing, you cant dance. I kept thinking of Jimin’s solo “Lie” where he sings “Caught in a lie, take me out of this hell, I can’t free myself from this pain, save the me who’s being punished” and they raise him over their heads and put down at about the middle of the song. In “Set Me Free pt2,” he is raised but at the end of the song and he emerges dressed in white; a new Jimin reborn. There were so many symbolisms and what appeared to be references to past BTS songs. I knew Jimin was creative but I had no idea how creative. This is a masterpiece and I think this is going to turn K-pop on it’s head. I saw many negative comments about the use of autotune and I have to admit I wasn’t keen on it at first but when it was explained to me that autotune is a common tool that artists use when they want to add layers and interest to a song, it clicked and I totally understood what Jimin was doing and I love it. He used the autotune for emphasis in certain places, it was a creative choice and he used it brilliantly to get his message across. I see this MV as a performance art masterpiece, simply stunning. I am in total awe of Jimin; he was the only member who debuted without having had vocal training. Jimin would tag along with Taehyung and Jungkook when they went for their lessons, sit outside the room near the door so that he could listen, then practice at home when he was alone so Jimin was self-taught. Later on, the company provided him with a vocal coach but still he sang so beautifully with no vocal training. Jimin was born to sing; his vocals are exquisite. I love hearing his lows, mid-range and highs in this MV. This was a long hard battle to self love for Jimin and he defeated the monster lies that were consuming him and he give the finger to all those who doubted him, who put obstacles in his way, who boxed him in and wouldn’t let him fly. “Fly away, butterfly, finally free.” I’m so excited for Jimin’s new chapter, he kicked it off with a bang and it’s already drawing out the haters but Jimin can handle it. Jimin said “I won’t hide anymore, even if it hurts” so he knows the hate will continue but he’s coming out of the shadows. He has so many engagements now. Before, there were fashion houses, producers, writers, other celebrities who wanted to work with him but the company said no and most of the time, he didn’t even know about it because they didn’t tell him. But now, he can pick and choose whatever offers come his way. I’m so damn proud of Jimin.
♦If you are interested, Jimin will appear 2 nights in a row, on The Jimmy Fallon Show. First on March 23,, Jimin will be doing an interview, not sure if he’ll also be performing this song though, even though as a pre-release, it’s out already out. On March 24, the actual day Jimin’s full album “FACE” is released, along with actual main song from album “Like Crazy” MV, he will appear once again, to perform possibly both songs! Jimin, along with the rest of the group BTS, has appeared several times before throughout the years. But Jimin, in particular, has developed a special bond between himself & Jimmy Fallon over the yrs.
I really love this song and I think it’s just so powerful. I get goosebumps everytime I hear, “Raise your hand for the past me”. Just knowing all the hate Jimin gets which I don’t understand why that is it’s just so impactful. I agree with u on the part towards the end when they all are surrounding him and bouncing their bodies, it did feel so liberating. And then when he is all in white symbolizing he’s now free, I loved everything about this song. And yes, he has the moon phases tattooed down his back 😍! Love u and all vids! 💜💜💜💜
❣️Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self! In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."
You nailed it.We all knew what he was capable of.but to finally see it I fell honored to see him finally be able to show the glorious
artestry he is blessed with.THIS was a masterpiece on all levels.
I love this mv, Jimin’s dance and dancers tell you the story with their body movements, I just feel more in love with everything music, lyrics, instrumental, visuals every time I watch it.. I’m so proud of Jimin 💜
*chest tattoo is a German poem from the late 1800’s* the crescent moon tattoo in the back is real designed by one fan 🥰
He's been crowned the Best Male Kpop Dancer for 4 years in a row. 👑
Those who don't like the song are Jimin's second fandom, which I dont mind it adds to the publicity, he is still winning and shining, its breaking records already, the song and performance is a masterpiece. I can feel Jimin's emotion there's anger and sadness but liberating at the end.😊
unpopular opinion but you can still be in a fandom and don't like a song at the same time. you don't have to blindly follow and like everyone your fav does
unpopular opinion but you can still be in a fandom and don't like a song at the same time. you don't have to blindly follow and like everyone your fav does
@@Minmarky True, but you don't have to tear down the artist while not liking a song either. Just say it's not for you, and move on.
@@Minmarky like you said your opinion is unpopular, I don't care if you like or don't like the song, its your choice, we don't have to like everything, fine with me if you don't like his song, just move on, but you are in no position telling me that I'm a blind follower 🙄
@@fumaotake8970 where am I tearing someone down??? I'm just stating my opinion?? I will always like jimin and I like this song but just in general, saying that there's a "second fandom" is kinda weird to me when there will always be songs that one might not like. With every artist and every fan
Only ones that have an issue with this song is the other fandoms. We love it and it’s a masterpiece we are so proud of him and can’t wait for his album
I was hoping we'd hear him using his voice in new ways and wow was I not disappointed. 😊
This thing is such a work of art. The digital effects on his voice to create several voices in conversation with each other... The twangier sharp voice in his lower register we've never heard... A few spots with his cry and a hint of his familiar growl. He has so many voices in this, even without the autotune emphasizing the differences.
I could talk about the choreography for hours. The symbolism, the lyricism, even the fact that the dancers are half women. The visual callbacks to On and Lie and Butterfly. He really made something that continues his story into the future without rejecting his past. Raise a hand to his past self. 💜
I have so many feelings about this song and I can't believe we get five more!
I think Jimin’s video is INCREDIBLE! His vocals are amazing, and the choreo is just beyond… Jimin is so smooth with the choreo when he sings “like a butterfly”… he is truly an artist. Great reaction! 💜
I was also unsure the first watch. I only knew I had to watch it again. And again, and again. Then, I got it and now it is one of my favorite Jimin solos.
His artistry is brilliant! No one expected something not typical Jimin. Oh, yes his tattoos (plural) are real. He has 11. Have a great day...✌💜💜💜
Just like the heavy auto tune, the repetitive SET ME FREE is deliberate choice to put emphasis on the mood of the song, especially if you're watching the choreo and specifically Jimin. The repetitive set me free is like a cry of help or desperation or sense of helplessness. You know when you're in a situation that seems so hopeless and you feel so powerless and you want to just cry. It feels like that to me. This song is very dark, especially with how he's always dragged back inside the formation and he doesn't resist much but he obviously wants to be set free. Then the ending, ugh, so good.
I think he wrote it with the dance performance in mind - which isn't shocking, given who he is.
@@evantesseract737 yeah, that's why i said it's deliberate. He wants to emphasize the feeling of wanting to be set free, leaving that space of how to incorporate choreography to it for maximum impact. He didn't make the choreography but I'm sure he was present when it was being finalized. The way he flew to California just to personally hear the choir record their parts in the song and had Nick Lee fly to SK to record his brass parts. Jimin is always dedicated and derailed-oriented, so yeah, he had set me free repeat that many times with performance in mind. Because the performance is linked to the lyrics. The choreography here is basically telling a story
@@cherriesforjm9145 Absolutely. I'm sure he had a lot of say in the vision behind the choreo, and knew he wanted a lyrical, interpretative piece. So he gave it room to breathe 😊
I think the spiral was more like the sacred geometry of a seashell. The repetition gives people time to apply the words Set Me Free to themselves as well as him. The use of excessive auto tune makes me hear the voice more like a musical instrument than a vocal. I loved that. I heard he went on person for the recording of the choir. Also, just so hot. 😅💜
the "set me free" chant over and over is supposed to represent a literal "plea" to "set him free". and the autotune is there purely to indicate the contrast between his mindsets and attitudes(same thing happened in interlude Shadow, a yoongi song, where the second verse had autotune over aggressive rapping to show that his shadow was now talking) so yeah, the two things people are nitpicking on are totally for artistic purposes. and its not like he used autotune to make him sing better ...cuz have you HEARD Jimin???
I know Yoongi wasn't directly involved in this song, but they've worked together for a decade and Jimin clearly shares a lot of his musical sensibilities and/or learned things from him as he developed his own style of songwriting. It's really cool to see his influence here. Lots of little similarities, but it's still very different overall. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album 😁
@@evantesseract737 oh definitely, just like how namjoon co wrote "like crazy", im sure jimin was influenced by other members as well.
My point was to indicate how the use of autotune was most definitely a stylistic choice just like in Shadow as well as in ON and Black Swan (because all their voices were layered in these two songs specifically to correspond with the layered 7s in the album cover) so there we go!
Theres a reason and correspondence to everything they do and its very interesting to witness!
@@manalzahra1039 I completely agree with your point and should have said so before wandering off on my tangent 😁
@@evantesseract737 no thats quite fine! That was also a point worth mentioning. They influence each other alot and this was literally a nod to yoongis set me free too so ofc!
The song is without a doubt a banger, it's just the jealous antis running their mouth.
It's an Anthem and I am here for it! A lot of people can relate to these lyrics at least at one point in their life. This song came at a perfect time for me.
I completely agree with you! First listen it’s not that I didn’t enjoy it (because I very much did), I was just so thrown off to even process my thoughts on the song. I think I blanked out LMAOO. Second watch/listen, I was able to process it fully and I LOOOOVE it. Loved your reaction.
First time through, *before* the autotune landed, I heard that first vocal section and had to stop because I didn't know it was even HIM. Totally floored me 😂
@@evantesseract737 LITERALLY I PAUSED IT SO QUICK AND HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK I WAS WATCHING THE RIGHT PREMIER
This song is a contemporary masterpiece. The dancing, the expressions, I everything. It reminded me of why I felt drawn to Jimin since the beginning of my journey. You just feel his soul even with his head tilts. To me, autotune added a sense of inner conflict of trying to batte his demons to set himself free. The distortion was like an echo in a maze. This song is a masterpiece and to me even the repetition felt more like a mantra. It was like a conclusion to his song Lie. I feel like I can write an essay about this.
Lol you watched so many times 😂 but honestly same.
I understand that some people might not like the song because of the unexpected rap and autotune. But they missed the whole message here it was on purpose he is literally saying that he can sing and dance the way he likes regardless of what ppl think. Remember that he was the most hated member of bts facing so many death threats
@@amii_921 ikr!? Atp they need to stfu n keep their hatred to themselves
to be honest i was expecting that it's gonna be dark after teaser but i didn't expected him to go THAT HARD, so for me it's a masterpiece and my opinion on AUTOTUNE thing , coz people r making a fuss about it , i respect everyone's opinion, but we knw with love comes hate, if there r millions of people who love u then there r also people who will hate u ,and about autotune part , how i see it that SET ME FREE PT 2 is a war anthem, and it's not just a song it's an art coz it serves in every aspect u can think of.... as i said it's like a war cry so for that impact there is so much going on in the back , musically , lyrically , the choirs is going crazy , the choreography and autotune too...... autotune is not just to enhance the vocals or it's not only for people who can't sing ,like come onn we knw very well for what in the world jimin is known for !!!!!! he is known for his beautiful and impactful singing , so he definitely don't need autotune for that , so how i see it is that autotune is also used in a creative way to enhance the message of the song , for that impact it was needed in the song.....so autotune is there coz it was a need for the song to make it more impactful and appealing and it served it's purpose beautifully..... i hope people don't see autotune as a tool to just enhance idol's vocals but see it as an artistic way to make song serve it's purpose in a way that the message or the feeling artist wanna give to the fans is conveyed properly... like what more u want ???? like the song is already breaking records💯💯, it is beautiful is every way possible , musically , lyrically it hits hard , the choirs r going mess but beautiful mess , the choreo is insane and done by SIENNA LALUA (who choreographed ON , DIONYSUS , RUN BTS ) and THE LAB who were the part of choreo... like what more u ask for ????? SHIRTLESS JIMIN ??? 🙃.... yessss we hv that too unexpectedly (with poem tattoo in german) 😂💜💜💜
Comentario de un experto en musica.
"
Él es tan buen cantante y siento que muchas personas critican a los buenos cantantes por usar el autotune, pero él no lo usa para ayudar a su voz porque no necesita ayuda, lo hace para cambiar la textura y cambiar la forma en que suena y usarlo más como un elemento creativo que como algo en lo que se está apoyando'
Para todos los que piensan que saben más y no entienden la música y sus elementos para usarla, solo mantengan la mente abierta y dejen que el artista se explore a sí mismos, son artistas, tienen un espíritu salvaje, déjenlos explorar y disfrutar de la música.
Well said.
"Este álbum habla de cómo miro hacia atrás y de cómo me superé... Si la gente entiende las emociones que intento expresar, consideraré el álbum un éxito".
I will start by stating that people CAN have their opinions. That's perfectly fine. You can dislike a song and simply move on after listening to it but to put energy into writing hateful comments and labelling it as the 'worst Kpop song' ... THAT is malicious.
Even before people have heard the song for themselves... before they can form their own opinion, antis have dragged it through the mud.
These people who are claiming to simply defend their opinion would never give this same energy if they didn't like a J-hope, JK, V, Suga, Jin or RM song. They would write the usual, 'who will support the boys forever?' comments.
If someone else had performed this exact song, executed the choreo THAT flawlessly and expressed that much crippling emotion... they'd be hailed as one of Kpop's greats.
Keep nitpicking with comments about how Jimin can't sing because he used autotune...stylistically... in a song. Bold of you to assume that after 10 years in the industry, he has to prove that he can actually sing😂
Some of y'all make it seem like it's the end of the world if the idols don't perform as you expect them to. I know you're reading these comments. You're literally everywhere...obsessed with bringing Jimin down. This level of hostility has not been experienced with the other members. What heinous crime did Jimin commit to deserve such malign?
Can't you allow him and his fans to enjoy this album before his enlistment? You've literally deprived him of everything. Peace. Rest. You constantly attack him as an idol and a human being. From death threats to hate comments. For what? To serve what purpose exactly? He's solo now. He's no longer dragging down your biases with his 'poor performance.'
Will you ever let this man rest?
This song is a powerful statement, and the MV is performative art, as you suggested RJ! The MV , in my opinion, represents death and rebirth; the symbolic death of the old Jimin, and the birth of Jimin’s new self. It’s so profoundly deep, and there’s a beauty to its darkness. Even the haunting sound the choir’s “Glory!” in the beginning and end of the song lend beauty and more insight into what the song represents…
As far as criticism, people are entitled to their opinions. I think much of it stems from it being so unpegged, and people fearing things that are different or dark. Art is progressive, it’s meant to be fluid and to change. True artists never follow the same formula, and to expect that is to dimish their gift. You don’t have to like this song, but you do have to allow Jimin, and all of the members, to grow and find themselves as artists. This is what creates legends, stop being afraid of change…💜
I Can understand having to listen to songs twice! My first reaction of this song, even as a ult Jimin fan, was “eh. Uhm. Idk” but now I literally cannot get it out of my head. Choreo is top notch, production is top notch, vocals out of this world, of course, our Jimin. I’m proud of jimin s hard work on this song. 💜
The other dancers keep forming a box around him, pushing him back into it when he briefly escapes, try to claw him down when he finally rises to freedom. The choreo makes them look jealous and angry about his escape... just like the haters (antis and stans for other groups) who've been trying to tear him down since debut. So original, artistic and evocative. Masterpiece.
Nice use of auto tune in an artistic fashion. It reminded me of how GDragon used it in Heartbreaker. The choreo was sensational and the execution was terrific, too. It looked to me to have been filmed at the same studio at which Jimin did Vibe with TAEYANG - although clearly at a different time.
I still love that song
I think the dance practice is much more dramatic than the mv, because you can see a lot more detail of the choreo. Both are truly amazing, congratulations to Jimin and his team 💜
❣️Here is the poem written in German on Jimin’s body translated:
Widening Circles
Written by Rainer Maria Rilke
Germany (1875 - 1926) Timeline
Translated and read by Joanna Macy
Listen
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
En el art Film de Black Swan, el bailarín principal tiene miedo de los demás (la Sombra), ya que intentan enjaularlo y sólo una vez que se enfrenta a ellos comienza a controlarlos y lo levantan. En SET ME FREE PT. 2 Jimin, no tiene miedo. Inmediatamente controla a los bailarines, impacta en sus movimientos, no al revés. El ya esta en control de su Sombra.
Está de blanco al final para mostrar que superó a la Sombra.
Jimin es libre. Se enfrentó a su Sombra, le dijo que le dejara ir y le liberó y ahora es libre de sus miedos para volar y ser el increíble artista que es.
Y eso sin hablar de su increíble baile...
he was so smart with this whole song that`s what i love about bts music and mv`s coz they`re always able to tell their stories through their songs and if you quite don`t understand, the video or expressions they show are able to make you understand what they`re trying to portray with the song or message
You must know, though, the repetitive “Set me free” is so purposeful because it is a powerful representation of his emotional begging/pleading to finally be able to be himself.
The auto tune is obviously stylistic and it’s strategically placed where his anger/aggression lies, especially because he’s addressing his haters - who, for no SANE reason whatsoever, have bullied, mocked and threatened him (to kill him) for years!
I believe he’s also telling himself to get out of his head, end the self-negativity and insecurities he’s had for years (also mainly stemming from the years of hate and criticism); so, It’s his second voice, if you will. The effect is that it gives him two voices, I think, to create a back and forth type of conversation…that’s my interpretation anyway.
It’s a masterpiece in every way imaginable, as is Jiminie! He’s a genius…he’s King!!💜👑👏🔥💜
Some have hypothesized that the spiral is a Fibonacci sequence, which is an aspect of sacred geometry, I wouldn’t be surprised, Jimin is such an elevated soul, and that song is a masterpiece, thank you for your reaction💜💜💜
the use of autotune is intentional to signal his inner turmoil. in the 1st verse, we also hear 2 quotes and its also in autotune. but when jimin sings in his natural voice, he sings mostly in korean and in his truth. like you actually have to breakdown the lyrics to really understand of why he's using autotune in some part. and when these hard & soft voices cross, there seems to be a conflict. a conflict that powerfully resolves after several cycles of the pulsing chorus-“set me free”. this song subverts traditional kpop by using its fundamentals (synthesized music, sharp dance routines & fashionable outfits) to not to please & distract, but to honestly narrate jimin’s liberation story. this is a true masterpiece
Jimin is King ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥👍
It is a spiral. It can symbolize rebirth
It was Jimin masterpiece.
Thanks for your reaction and support. Jimin looks stunning in this video and the dancers are amazing to.
Extraordinario Jimin, sos genialllll😍😍😍😍😍
I love this reaction, my favorite yet to Set Me Free pt2! I related to your comments 1000%, and am so glad you, like me, came out loving this song and Jimin even more. 💜
People might say he needed the auto tone but it’s for the style and also it adds to the meaning of the song like his past self who wanted to be free and his thoughts after he was set free.
I love the "silly" smile on your face when it comes to Jimin 😅
There is no boring part here..i can watched it many times.i felt I’m watching a movie
I had the same reaction as you the first time through. But it made me really think about why they structured the song this way. The instrumentation is pretty simple, mostly the beat and the brass. Most of the work is done by the vocals whether it's the choir or Jimin's main vocals and ad libs. So I think the voice manipulation is partly used as instrumentation like guitar riffs or drum fills to fill out the soundscape. But since he's also singing about the doubts and insecurities he's dealt with, the voice manipulation seems to represent different voices in his head. I also found his first line jarring the first time. But he's used that nasally tone when speaking in English (e.g., "I'm sweet guy.") so the autotune isn't changing his voice. This takes what we heard in Tony Montana and just ups the artistry tenfold.
really loved what you said at the end about the dance telling a story - it makes so much sense for Jimin because he is trained in lyrical dance/contemporary dance so he is ALL ABOUT telling stories with his dance 💜 Enjoyed your reaction
rjkpop: wow me Jimin, I'm ready
Jimin: challenge accepted
Always love Jimin😊 I think it is a maze because he mentions a maze twice in the song. Someone else said it is a six and with Jimin it makes 7. There are a few more theories as well.
Great reaction thank you. Love the song, performance and Jimin vocals. Dancers were fantastic. Choir was beautiful and the horn was superb.
Choreography credits in order
- Bangster/Lee Byung Eun (Hype Performance Director and Hobi’s friend from Gwangju who he brought to Big Hit)

On Bangster (been w Big Hit since at least Wings era and was Hobi’s primary collaborator from Boy Meets Evil to Chicken Noodle Soup and Lollapalooza, but is now BTS’s primary Performance Director)
Same! The first time the autotune caught me by surprise but the more I listen to it the more I like it! It is such a nice contrast with his voice and it actually makes sense because it differentiates his real voice from his ‘internal’ voice
I really appreciate how you took the time and effort to properly listen to his song, and how thoughtful and sincere you were in your comments about it. This is why you're different from the dime-a-dozen reactors out there!
PS. I think it's a cocoon (rather than a 6 or 9), which he emerges from as a butterfly?
PPS. I love that camera thump too; the camera work on the dance practice was sick!
When I watched this during the premiere, I liked it, but was just shocked because it was unexpected. I immediately watched it again and went from like to love. I found it to be really powerful from the choreo to the lyrics. He's not the first artist to use auto tune and won't be the last. We all know his talent and he sounded great! Honestly, BTS never disappoints whether they're together or doing their solo thing. I'll always support.💜
The writing on jimin is a german poem which relates to the meaning of the song. I have heard several descriptions of the shape and one is it represents life.
Jimin said that this song was his realizing that he was the only one that could set himself free. Perhaps from all the hate he gets from stans and others . Maybe
from the things he does that stops him being his true self as an artist. I do believe the old jimin as far as music and caring about what others say is gone. And
I say good for him he is a grown man and no ones expectations should matter. All that should matter is what he wants and makes him happy.
LOS TATUAJES DE JIMIN ESTÁN EN ALEMÁN Y ARMY PUDO DESCIFRARLOS: “Vivo mi vida en círculos creciente, que tiran de sí mismos sobre las cosas. Puede que no complete el último pero quiero probarlo. Doy vueltas alrededor de Dios, alrededor de la antigua torre, y doy vueltas por milenios;
y aún no sé: ¿soy un halcón, una tormenta? o una gran cancion”.
Me ❤ excelente 👏👏, sobre la canción genial expresión. Jimin te deseo todo lo bueno del universo para vos y muchas energías positivas que todos los logrados y por los buenos momentos por venir en tu vida ahora en adelante todo mi ❤ está con vos 👍😊
Álbum maravilhoso perfeito Set me Free linda demais coreografia voz TD perfeito parabéns Jimin 👍👍👍
Thank you for your reaction to our precious Mochi and your honest input about the song and the video and message to some disrespectful haters out there.
I have been waiting for you to check this out. I wanted to see your face through this and you delivered! The golden ratio (or Fibonacci) spiral has a lot of meaning, not the least of which is serving as a map for spiritual growth. The conversation he is having with himself through the auto tune (internal dialog) and his verbal response is so powerful. References to his previous solos (Lie) and BTS songs (On) are in there as are some other references. The poem on Jimin's chest is by a German Author by Rainer Maria Rilke is so powerful. The last sentence of that poem reads, "I've been circling for thousands of year and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?" It completely ties to the concept of the album FACE and the art for the cover of that album.
This song has been stuck in my head since it was out
El min 1:00 del mv
Los antiguos matemáticos, arquitectos y filósofos entendieron que este patrón era la proporción áurea. Desde la doble hélice del ADN hasta el universo en expansión, es el patrón omnipresente de la vida
SET ME FREE PT. 2 ES UNA OBRA MAESTRA Y HE AQUÍ UN POCO DE POR QUÉ:
No es casualidad que el director de Interlude:Shadow sea también el director de Set Me Free.
Toda la parte Shadow de Map Of The Soul: 7 trata de tu miedo, de enfrentarte a él y de utilizarlo para empujarte más lejos.
Jimin has let all the haters know he has grown as a person and artist. It is ok to have your own likes and dislikes BUT hatred and negativity toward anyone only hurts the haters. Please people BE KIND AND BE RESPECTFUL. And the MV is great and the energy of Jimin is fun to see and his voice- is awesome!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'll say just one thing. Whoever doesn't like and hate Jimin's song doesn't understand music, talent and art!!!
yess the moon tat real.
anyways thx for ur reactions,ure such a lovable person,i feel peace everytime watching ur BTS vids
The spiral thing it can mean anything but he then continues singing about a flying butterfly which could be the process of the worm making into butterfly. I'm excited for his album
tbh i think this choreo was portraying the evolution of a butterfly, In the beginning they were in a line, dancing basically with hands so that's the caterpillar to me, afterwards, in the formation that u asked if its a number, I think that was the pupa, so in the end, when they are dancing in a circle around jimin, meant to be the pupa opening to finally give birth to the butterfly
the spiral they make with the dancers is actually fibonacci. it is very used in art. It basically is the "perfect spiral", mathematically perfect and pleasing to the eyes (there is more to it but take it as "perfection of nature")
This song get better and better every listen
The writing on Jimin's body is a German poem. Here's the text.
Ich lebe mein Leben
Poet/Lyricist:
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)
I live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.
I am circling around God,around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a storm,
or a great song.
Also, the spiral the dancers create represents The golden spiral which is a pattern created based on the concept of the golden ratio-a universal law that represents the “ideal” in all forms of life and matter. In fact, it’s often cited as an example of the connection between the laws of mathematics and the structure of living things. The more we understand the math behind the symbol, the more we’ll appreciate its appearances in nature and arts.
As another ARMY pointed out the golden ratio also exists in a butterfly and when he steps out of that spiral he sings the lyrics "fly away, butterfly".
I had the same thought about the chorus repeating but I think the point is that he’s just desperately screaming to be set free and the repetition represents that turmoil of being stuck and going insane wanting to be free. That’s how interpret it anyway.
Cómo cantante es maravilloso pero como bailarines genial❤❤❤😂😂😂
I'm loving badass JIMIN 🔥
JIMIN!!!!!!! I've watched the MV at least 50 times since its release. The more I listen, the more I love. His soft ad libs are easy to miss at first.
And of course he is BEAUTIFUL....
Спасибо за реакцию! Поделюсь некоторыми наблюдениями по треку)
Перевод слов на теле Чимина "Set me free pt.2":
Это слова из немецкого стиха "Живу своей жизнью", написанного Райнером Марией Рильке в конце 1800-х годов.
"Я живу в витках растянутой спирали,
Витой, на событиях времен.
Может быть последний мой виток из стали,
Мною по годам не закален.
Богом он кружит меня над древней башней,
Круг тысячелетием обвив.
То ли буря, то ли сокол я бесстрашный,
То ли Лиры утренний мотив."
Слова и смысл этого стиха заложен как в этом клипе, так и в альбоме, в целом.
Чимин и его танцоры создают фигуру, которая может показаться узором золотого сечения или последовательностью Фибоначчи - в форме СПИРАЛИ, символизирующую ДНК. В его хореографии он даже повторил жест рукой, как в клипе ДНК, когда провел пальцами одной руки по внутренней части предплечья другой руки - знак ДНК.
Так же на фотографии альбома нарисованы КРУГИ, обозначающие расширяющиеся круги, охватывающие весь мир.
Строка «Going insane to stay sane» почти идентична тексту песни «ON»
Моменты вокала с автотюном олицетворяют его темную сторону и ярость (в качестве контраста).
Чимин теряет одежду и аксессуары в клипе, символизируя свой путь к свободе. Хореография взмаха руками символизирует взмах крыльев бабочки, как перерождение. Окружающие его танцоры, которые возвышаются над ним, толкают и показывают пальцами олицетворяют его страхи и переживания с которыми он борется и в итоге он сам подчиняет себе движения танцоров а не наоборот и они поднимают его вверх и он возвышается над ними. Он уже контролирует Тень. В конце он в белом, показывая, что преодолел эту Тень.
Вырез на кофте, показывающий татуировку "Nevermind", которая означает трек Юнги Nevermind - интро к HYYH Pt.2, который был проанонсирован подсказкой в виде этого тату на Чимине на МАМА2014. Такая же надпись была на Юнги во время видео на ММА 2017 [Wormhole], в которой было много подсказок к будущим эрам.Текст из песни: "NEVER MIND ["не бери в голову"], "Это нелегко, но выгравируй это у себя на груди". Тату, как мы знаем и видим, у Чимина на груди/ребрах. И, по какой-то причине он выделяет ее. Может разгадка будет крыться в этом альбоме, посмотрим...
Про название песни: Чимин подтвердил, что обозначение сингла "Pt.2' означает отсылку ко второму микстейпу (Мин Юнги) Agust D "D-2". Его цитата: "Между этими песнями связи нет, и мы не пытались разделить первую и вторую часть. Но так как оказалось, что моя песня говорит о свободе и движении вперед, а песня Шуги рассказывает о некоторых историях, которые были раньше, я подумал, что было бы хорошо, если мою песню будут слушать после [песни Шуги]».
The autotune is a stylistic choice for the dark aesthetic he's conveying in this song. It also adds the call and response feel in the song. I love the fact that it's different from what most expected from him. Love the song.
So you think of the auto tuned as his internal voices. That he felt he was battling during the pandemic.
The 3 lined choreo could be looked at as 3 stages of an artist career. First line is working hard and has the stone to the grindstone. 2nd line still working hard but is not as intense. 3rd line still dancing but is fully standing upright (no longer needing to beg for their progress).
The writing on his body is a famous German poem in the 1890's called "Living My Life in Ever Widening Circles "💜🇺🇲
Filter, Black Swan y ON formaron parte de la sección Shadow del MOTS7 y están representados aquí.
En Interlude: Shadow y Black Swan la propia sombra está representada por autotune que puedes escuchar aquí.
