He's the main rapper and the leader of the group. Flowerwork is a play on words with the Korean. "Flower" is 꽃 (kkoch) and "firework" is 불꽃 (bulkkoch). RM is one of the main writers for BTS and he writes all of his own lyrics and even produces. He has said in the past that he wants to be around and creating music for a long time, that he's more interested in leaving a lasting impression than the 'burn bright fade fast' scenario. His song is metaphorical in that he'd rather be a wildflower, literally grounded with roots and they come back year after year instead of a firework that shoots up into the sky with a flash and boom, but disappears quickly. RM is a poet first and a rapper second.
RM is one of the main song writers in BTS, so yes, he wrote this song. As he said in the lyrics, Poetry is his one and only strength that has protected him so far. (Even if ARMY doesn’t believe that is his only strength) This is a song about how he started out as a lowly flower in a field of wildflowers, but he wanted to go to the sky so he turned himself into a firework. Unfortunately, in doing so he lost his identity and he didn’t enjoy burning in the sky the way he thought he would. So now he wants to find a compromise between himself the flower and himself the firework and be a flowerwork. It makes even more sense when you realize that in Korean the word for firework is bool kkot (불꽃). Literally translated as Fire Flower.
Youjeen came out of retirement at RM's request to be on the track. She's was the front woman for the South korean Rock Band 'Cherry Filter'. Oh and RM produced the whole album Indigo which this song a track from each one is very different. He says it's a walk through his 20's. The also got Anderson Pakk to agree to on one track and also invited Erykah Badu to be on another of the songs on his album and she agreed.
He is the Leader not the Lead singer. He is the spokesperson for the group. More importantly, He meets with management, brings the nembers issues and concerns. He also is involved in overall decision making about the group's direction and album themes. He was the 1st member, the group was formed around him..sort of...he writes his own rap verses but also many lyrics to the groups songs. These responsibilities on top of being a global superstar have weighed on him. He feels the responsibility to his company, the BTS members and the fans. Some of this is reflected in this song
@@Jellybean0009our stories are so similar. I lost my father due to COVID. Spring day was a saviour but also a reminder of what had happened (not that we’ll ever forget that) it’s bittersweet. so sorry about your sister. Let’s hope they are in a better place. 💜
RM is the poet/philosopher of BTS. He is brilliant and his music is always powerful. Don't apologize for emotions, that is what BTS does for most people.
RM wrote this song when he felt lost, the fame they achieved was not what he expected, during the break for military service he began to search for his self, his essence, to get out of himself what overwhelmed him, that is WILD FLOWER. Then, in a brilliant way he created his second album RIGHT PLACE WRONG PERSON, it is worth giving it a chance. KIM NAM JOON is one of the lyrical geniuses of BTS, 100% leader, rapper, composer, producer.💜
You know we have a saying in the fandom that you find BTS when you need them most. Maybe you were meant to find RM because his lyrics are always very meaningful.
RM found me in 2020 with the speech at United Nations 2018 even till now his words are vitamins to me... hope on your own time you get a chance to listen to the speech. My respect to RM music is not for everyone. Right People Wrong Place his most recent album master piece same as Indigo or Mono 💜
He definitely write his lyrics and explain it in interviews light a flower work is a wordplay on fire work which end so fast and wild flowers which last long So instead of being an idol for a short time He is gonna be an artist who will be remembered for a long time
@@Lenaas.rkiveekkkkkk isso é apenas um jeito de falar pois apesar de serem adultos para nós ARMYS eles são crianças kkkkkk esse jeitinho deles nos faz apaixonar e sorrir sempre. Não é uma crítica. Os mais novos são terroristas kkkkk eles deixam o líder de cabelos brancos kkkkkk
@@Lenaas.rkiveeit clearly wasn't meant seriously but rather tongue in cheek to emphasise the age hierarchies and playful personality dynamics within the group, especially in their younger days.
RM is a different dude. He is the leader of BTS, the Main Rapper and the main songwriter of the group. He's a true poet and did, in fact, write this song. The group and himself as the leader have been through a lot in their careers and RM always writes about his deepest truths. He is a masterpiece of a human. 💜
I, and so many of the BTS ARMY, cried on the first listen when this song dropped. RM has been through a lot. We love him and all the BTS members 💜 enjoy discovering their sincere art!
Yes he wrote all the songs on his album indigo and on his most recent album Right Person, Wrong Place, with RM you never know what part of parts of him you are going to get.
RM is a rapper and prodigious songwriter. The group was going to be a hip-hop group built around him, but the plan changed. This project (Indigo album), as he describes it, is an archive of his 20s. Fireworks flare dramatically in the sky and burn out. I interpret fireworks to be a metaphor for BTS's explosive success plus the baggage that came with it. He feels that he would rather be grounded. Wildflowers bloom, die, and their seeds scatter, but they return the next season, and every season thereafter. They are rooted.
it's flowerwork, not firework, because RM said he don't want BTS to fade so quickly like a firework that light up the sky for few seconds, he wants BTS to be strong and grounded like a wildflower
Hi dear. 69yo ARMY here. RM is a bonafide genius (IQ 148) and he's known for his deep and insightful lyrics. He is very well read and incorporates Carl Jung's philosophies and others into his lyrics. And yes... Katie Perry. I couldn't put my finger on who it reminded me of...but that was it. Check out RM's song "Change" featuring Wale.
Hi, 58yo ARMY here. Thanks for pointing out RM's literary credentials, and the Katy Perry link with her song Firework. Youjeen's voice is amazing, and it turns out she was in a 2nd gen punk band Iirc. Have you seen the Rolling Hall concert where RM duetted with her and showed his genuine admiration? Frankie Biggz, you would love this concert as it was in a very intimate venue for such a global artist. 💜
RM is the deep thinker of the group. He was a poet first which he is bringing out here. They have all gone though a lot though the years. He's diving here, straight down....to his roots. 💜
RM is the king of wordplays, so he was trying to say that he doesn't want to "die" (end of his career) like fireworks, which brighten for a moment and then die abruptly, disappearing. He wants to end his career more smoothly, falling slowly, and bringing beauty to this world even that time. (It's just my interpretation, ok?)
The beauty and glory of success, of fireworks (which are fleeting and quickly extinguished), the journey in search of a greater meaning and the true “I”, in a storm of feelings and sensations, until reaching peace, balance in a field of purple flowers.... RM is a poet. The sincerity that passes through poetry is incredible. I see a lot of artists who make songs about things and people. In BTS, most of the time, they talk about their own experiences. This brings us much closer to them, as we identify with real feelings
RM's lyrics always works your brain. Sometimes might even a bit too complicated too deep, but you always learnt something and eventually you have a new angle of seeing things.
Army has answered most of your questions - RM is a creative genius & every album is different from the others. His early mix tapes are RAP on nitro - fierce, aggressive, and combative....as he's aged & his experience has widened. That's not even counting the BTS music craft he created with their album theme arcs.
Thanks for sharing your personal stuff. And, yes, I have cried many, many times when I listening to this song. These men are deep, authentic, emotionally mature and deeply spiritual.
RM is a literal genius with a very mature artistic flair. Master of language and rhyme. He's an amazing lyricist. RM is one of the main writers of BTS. He has over 200 song credits.
Hes the leader, main song writer and main rapper of the group. Hes great poet, and loves word play, once you get more into them you'll understand, hes a great writer and pours his heart and soul into these songs, the song pretty much is telling you that their fame turned into shackles, he wants to be at peace like a wildflower (flower work) not like a firework work that's gone in just a few seconds. Hes a brilliant writer. Once you find out more about them, you'll know that they have been through hell and back for absolutely no reason that people just treated them like trash, and they still remained humble and such sweet down to earth guys. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
His whole solo albums are amazing. His lyrics are poetry. I'm so proud of our leader RM(Kim namjoon) Other 6 members really respect their leader. BTS is for me 'somethind different & special.' And solo songs from 7 members of BTS are very versatile and good. Thanks for giving chances for BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@ruthfischer7615 writing songs means writing lyrics. producing songs means in terms of the beats. op said he always writes his songs, meaning the lyrics. what op said are just facts, which you yourself agreed that he writes the lyrics to his songs. theres nothing to disagree on here since you yourself agrees he writes his songs (which means writes the lyrics).
@@marirezende8478the usual BigHit format for credits is with the producers singled out, and all of the songwriting team (both lyrics and music, like melodies, beats, special arrangements for a certain instrument, etc) all under other item. The way we can know if someone took part of the lyrics specifically is only when a song goes through the TV broadcasting approval process and the listing for that gets public. In that listing they credit lyricists in one item, and music writers and producers in a second one. They do that because the approval depends on lyrics (if they mention brand names, profanities, so on), so it makes sense to differentiate that way. As Namjoon's second album didn't have a TV promotion setup, we never got that
@@its_always_the_7 "songwriting" includes music too. Producing is a different task. I think you're confusing "songwriter" with "lyricist". But I agree we are all meaning the same here. It's just an issue with semantics
RM and SUGA's style always leaves me perplexed by how thoughtful and deep their songs are. They really have an incredible talent for expressing and transmitting emotions. If you don't know, RM is part of the BTS Rap line and they are the core and support of BTS, the rap line is involved in most of the BTS songs from the composition and production, you can review it in each song in the credits, RM has over 200 compositions to his name (I really don't know the right number) and helps his members when they need to compose songs. I recommend that you see the BTS Guide
Thank you for the authenticity of your reaction. I'm 50 yo, I've seen and heard a lot of artists in my life, but RM is definitely one of the most significant on this Planet. He loves Art in all its forms and gives us the benefit of it. It's an honor to have access to his work, his words, his music, his quest for meaning, his care to do things intelligently, and his desire to be a dignified human being while refusing to conform or give in to pressure. I have the utmost respect for him, as I do for the whole group, where each member brings the best of himself and strengthens the others. When it comes to BTS, the complexity of their lyrics, the beauty of their sentence construction and the subtleties of their wordplay, it would be useful to consult websites such as DoolsetBangtan traductions. In addition, exploring explanations of MVs in context, such as the YT channel BookishTheories, adds value. Hello from Switzerland
Flowerwork: In addition to what others have said, Firework in Korean is 불꽃 (bulkkoch). Fire flower is Korean is 불 꽃 (bul kkoch)...same words. A firework is a fire flower in the sky. So he used a play on words, as he does so often, to get flowerwork. It is 100% intentional, and kind of brilliant if you ask me.
RM has released a new album a couple of months ago, Right Place Wrong Person, that has been in several lists of the best albums of the year so far (Rolling Stones, Billboard, The Guardian, etc). You could react to the whole album from top to bottom. It’s truly amazing
Oh, our RM is such a jewel! He is special and Army loves him so much! He is the leader in BTS and received a lot of hate from anti’s and he consistently proves them wrong and keeps shining and using is lyrics, production and music to send his message. He always has a way to bring a message from a new angle and he makes us all think! thank you for sharing and I am really enjoying your reactions. 💜💜 for you and your producer! 😊
RM definitely wrote this and is one of the greatest poets of our generation he is always word playing and saying quotable things. His mind is beyond. 💜
RM, Suga and BTS as a whole has sent me crying in a corner on very many occasions so no worries, we understand. They're not just pop boys, they can get very real in their music. And I agree with you about RM carrying a lot of sadness. I honestly worry about him sometimes but I also know how strong and resilient all seven are, including our precious leader💜
Rm’s latest album Right Place, Wrong Person is an audiophiles DREAM. I think you’d appreciate the choices he made. Musically and production wise it’s incredibly interesting. He has a more indie/alternative vibe than the others
Kim Namjoon aka RM BTS leader ,rapper composer, poet ,producer etc..the main composer of BTS songs ,one of the best lyricist in history ,he like to plays words a lots and yes,he the one who compose this songs ,knowning what he and his members been through is painful😢 ..thank you
저는 아직도 이노래를 들으면 눈물이 나요. 우리 남준은 정말 열정적이면서, 서정적인 사람이고, 가슴속에 큰 불꽃을 품고 있는 아티스트입니다. 방탄소년단의 곡들을 가장 많이 쓴 작곡가이자, 작사가이고, 그의 이제까지의 음악 여정을 보면 그저 감탄하게 됩니다. 그는 음악으로 그의 감정을 솔직하게 표출합니다. 가장 멋지게!!!
RM is the Leader/Spokes person for the group he keeps them in order and sorts out any problems. The group support him and always speak highly of him. He's member the group is built around underground Rapper. He's BTS's main song writer although they are all song writes, composers and producers each to a lesser or great extent. RM he's foremost a poetic and uses a lot of word play with his lyric's and has an amazing 148 IQ and speaks 3 languages fluently.
That's our precious leader of BTS aka RM aka Kim Namjoon. Check out his solo projects including group projects, collaborations, etc and you'll understand the growth he's gone through. He's extremely poetic in the lyrics he composed in his mysic. Yes, she says "flowerworks"....wordplay with fireworks and flower because some fireworks look like beautiful glittey flowers hence "Wild Flower". There's so many layers to BTS and each member. This song is just ONE of so many songs/masterpieces produced by these guys. It's been a very long journey for them...a continuous one and ARMYs are right by BTS’s side...always. 💜🎶
RM is well-known in BTS and well loved yes, but he has always taken a back seat ( willingly) for the sake of the group. He is very business minded, he is a numbers guy. But his creative side, his artistic side is music and poetry. He fell into the hip hop rabbit whole when very young 10 or 11 and soon found himself socializing with underground rappers. He was menterd by some of the older Rappers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
He’s a rapper. he is a songwriter, a producer, he’s a genius, he is a poet, and the best. All the guys at BTS are fantastic. I’m glad you’re listening to it. Fabulous song.
He's "the Leader" and a rapper, writer and producer. BTS does not have a "lead" in the way that you might think. RM's lyrics tend to be quite poetic and the likes a metaphor, as well as, allergory. Thanks for your reactions. Have a great weekend!
I am going to suggest AIRPLANE pt2 to you. I happen to love how adventurous they have been with their creativity when delving into music. They truly love music, and creating it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
Welcome to RM who has two mixed tapes and two albums that all sound different. It sounds Katy Perryish because of the chord it is sung in. RM is the writer of this song with Docskim. Docskim is the producer. RM does slow rap, R&B and alternative. I get the kid part. I am 60 so they feel like kids to me - I get it.
RM the Poet. Youjeen is 90s rock-singer from Cherry filter (she is "k-rock" and still making music). K-pop what we know is just one part of S-Korean musicindustry. If you have intrest as producer, you can watch or react? (BANGTANTV is BTS official): - RM 'Indigo' album magazine film. (There RM and producers, collabs.. talks about making album). - BTS 'ON' commentary film: dialogue (where americans tells making music to ON, 2020) - Coldplay x BTS inside 'My Universe' documentary. (When Chris Martin went S-Korea during covid to make collab with BTS) Greetings from the north edge of Europe
Flowers go away in winter and grow again in spring, a peaceful process. Fireworks are stars and burn out. He’s been famous for 10 years and they need a break. I love your BTS reactions keep it up!!! ❤
I think "flowerworks" vs "fireworks" is in how flowers are soft and beautiful, gentle vs fireworks 🎆 are explosive and to a degree consuming the sky around it. So I always thought of it as him saying he wants to make a big impact on the world but in a soft & gentle - Yet beautiful way... ✨ I also have PTSD and the songs that had me in tears was this one ⬆️ but also AgustD/Suga's (also BTS) songs "Amygdala" and "The Last." And although I need to specify the Trigger Warning ⚠️ on these; they have Personally helped me through some really hard times.. His words have been painful, but beautiful and incredible Healing... 💜
Jungkook is the main vocalist of BTS, and Lead Dancer Jimin is one of the Main Dancers of BTS, and a Lead vocalist. RM (Kim, Namjoon) is the Group Leader, Main Rapper, and one of the main Songwriters of BTS. He was the first member chosen and the group was formed around him. I hope you have the closed captions on, because his lyricism is on another level, and he is talking about his journey. He also came up with the name Flower Work. I think it's beautiful. It means something in the middle of a Wild Flower and a Firework. He doesn't want to be a firework that burns out quickly, but would like to keep his feet on the ground like a wild flower, and be with the other wild flowers with no name. So Flower work is shining bright but not high up in the sky, on the ground with the other flowers. When you said that you thought RM was singing about his experience with PTSD, it would make sense knowing what BTS has been through, as well as ARMY walking alongside them. I cried thinking about the things that BTS had to endure, and it always hit RM harder, being the Group Leader, and actually working hard at not only being the best he can be, and supporting his members, but protecting them along the way. It reminds me of the time they were at the Billboard Awards or was it the AMA's, and they were walking the red carpet, and they were getting rude and racist hate comments from the reporters. And RM being the only one that is fluent in English knew every word they were saying and just moved them along. Or how he would translate English comments for the other members to make them nice and not tell what the real ones were, because they were hate comments. So many instances when they were young and just debuted (ages 15 to 20), and they were experiencing so many negative things, from being accused of plaigairism, or being removed from the lineup on music shows, to struggling with no money and working all hours of the day and night to learn their choreography, write their songs, recordings, producing their music. And then getting hate and being blocked in the Korean K-Pop industry, and being hated on by underground hip hop/rap for becoming K-Pop IDOLS. I can imaging that being a detriment to anyone's mental health, espcially when you are 18 and the leader of a group and on a constant roller coaster to realize your dreams. I'm very happy that you checked out RM. He's a really special person, and he started out writing poetry, until he found hip hop, and that encouraged him to make his poems into rap lyrics, and he wanted to sing and rap and write music. He realized that dream, but it's been a tough journey for him, and the other 6 members. I look forward to more of your reactions, and please excuse the long comment, but your reaction inspired me to write it.
Fiquei perplexa e agradeço este comentário, porque só sei das suas músicas, só há pouco tempo é que comecei a quer saber mais um pouco sobre cada um. E acho doloroso, ler ou ouvir certas coisas, porque os admiro.
I remember thinking how ARMY would gladly form a human boundary around however large the space Namjoon needs for him to find some Peaceful Moments 🪻🪻🪻🪻
The whole Indigo album is a gem and now his new album WPRP is unbelievably great. They keep getting better by the minute. He is an amazing rapper. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers on the group. He can go on the sweetest or on the grittier side. He tries to say he prefer flowerworks than fireworks (fame and all that).
Great reaction....BTS is 7 humble and very talented young men..3 rappers..RM, SUGA and JHOPE...and 4 vocalists...JIN, JIMIN, JUNGKOOK AND V. They all are capable of songwriting, composing and producing...and have written most of their Own music and lyrics...although rap line has done most of it .. going solo fave each of them a chance to really go deep into their own individuality....much to the delight of ARMY😊
He's the leader and one of the rappers of the group he does mean Floweworks, Fireworks burst in the air snd disappear Flowerworks will burst then land and last for a long time 😊 the song is emotional and beautiful 💜
Don't worry about getting emotional! The more you dive into their discography the more you will have similar experiences. They have fun catchy pop songs but the majority of their work has deeper meaning that most of us can relate to. Because they write the majority of their lyrics they are based on their experiences and feelings. I think this is one of the reasons the fanbase has such a wide age demographic because no matter how old you are everyone can relate to certain things. I also feel this sets them apart from other groups. You may find alot of BTS fans are not necessarily fans of kpop in general (some are) because our connection goes much deeper than the music. They are seven incredible, humble and talented human beings that started from the ground and worked their way up. I am a 55 year old that has experienced alot of different music in my lifetime but I can honestly say I have never been this passionate about a group or singer before. I look forward to your next reaction. 😊💜
Its oke to Show your emotions once in a while.. some of their solo songs and group songs have really deep lyrics base on they experience. Sometimes they even making lyrics that have deep meaning but are packaged in cheerful music so that we ARMYs don't get too carried away by the lyrics even though they are sometimes sad meaning.. FYI: BTS Has 3 Rappers: RM, SUGA, JHOPE and 4 Vocalists: Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. And they all are AMAZING artists..💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
RM is a rapper (Suga and J Hope are the other two rappers ). All three are different but very good. I hope you'll react to J Hope too, as I see you have reacted to Suga's Snooze (which I loved). I love Wild Flower. It is so beautiful.
thank you for the reaction 💜 his last album is called Right Place Wrong Person and it’s critically acclaimed, not too long ago named as one of the best albums of 2024 by rolling stones. i recommend the titile track LOST!
Your reaction brought back memories of what I felt when I first heard the song. With RM, it’s all about the lyrics. He is a poet first and foremost. I was a mess at first listen because this is a man I love and respect so much. Wildflower is still in my top 3 of favorite songs out of all the solo releases. The song is so beautiful and sad, but there is a resolution in the end so it is also hopeful.
With BTS you will always get variety no matter if it’s the group, subunits, or individuals. RM will always give you lyrics of depth & poetry. He can sing & rap from the soft soulful sound to heavy hard spitting bars. You’ve only just begun your journey & it’s a deep rabbit hole. Keep tissues & water nearby they will be needed. 💜🫶💜
He's the main rapper and the leader of the group. Flowerwork is a play on words with the Korean. "Flower" is 꽃 (kkoch) and "firework" is 불꽃 (bulkkoch). RM is one of the main writers for BTS and he writes all of his own lyrics and even produces. He has said in the past that he wants to be around and creating music for a long time, that he's more interested in leaving a lasting impression than the 'burn bright fade fast' scenario. His song is metaphorical in that he'd rather be a wildflower, literally grounded with roots and they come back year after year instead of a firework that shoots up into the sky with a flash and boom, but disappears quickly. RM is a poet first and a rapper second.

RM is the poet/philosopher of BTS. He is brilliant and his music is always powerful. Don't apologize for emotions, that is what BTS does for most people.
We say BTS finds you when you need them. RM’s lyrics always hit true.
Namjoon (RM) is the creative pillar of BTS... he is incredible both in the group and solo.
"Creative pillar"....excellent description.

He definitely write his lyrics and explain it in interviews
light a flower work is a wordplay on fire work which end so fast and wild flowers which last long
So instead of being an idol for a short time
He is gonna be an artist who will be remembered for a long time
not lead singer, but leader LEADER.. the boss, the president
Yup, when RM starts talking everyone listens, even the members older than him, even the loud bratty members younger than him.

RM is a different dude. He is the leader of BTS, the Main Rapper and the main songwriter of the group. He's a true poet and did, in fact, write this song. The group and himself as the leader have been through a lot in their careers and RM always writes about his deepest truths. He is a masterpiece of a human. 💜

Fireworks flare dramatically in the sky and burn out. I interpret fireworks to be a metaphor for BTS's explosive success plus the baggage that came with it. He feels that he would rather be grounded. Wildflowers bloom, die, and their seeds scatter, but they return the next season, and every season thereafter. They are rooted.
I still cry every time I listen to this song. I can feel his pain and he deserves all the happiness in this world!😊
Yeah... That's RM for you. His album, Indigo, had me sobbing in the shower because of how deeply it resonated with me. He's truly an artist.
it's flowerwork, not firework, because RM said he don't want BTS to fade so quickly like a firework that light up the sky for few seconds, he wants BTS to be strong and grounded like a wildflower
Hi dear. 69yo ARMY here. RM is a bonafide genius (IQ 148) and he's known for his deep and insightful lyrics. He is very well read and incorporates Carl Jung's philosophies and others into his lyrics.
And yes... Katie Perry. I couldn't put my finger on who it reminded me of...but that was it. Check out RM's song "Change" featuring Wale.
Hi, 58yo ARMY here. Thanks for pointing out RM's literary credentials, and the Katy Perry link with her song Firework. Youjeen's voice is amazing, and it turns out she was in a 2nd gen punk band Iirc. Have you seen the Rolling Hall concert where RM duetted with her and showed his genuine admiration? Frankie Biggz, you would love this concert as it was in a very intimate venue for such a global artist. 💜
@@susanware1988 Yes I have seen the Rolling Hall concert. I know it was a dream of RM's to perform there. Thank you for your post.
RM is the deep thinker of the group. He was a poet first which he is bringing out here. They have all gone though a lot though the years. He's diving here, straight down....to his roots. 💜
RM is the king of wordplays, so he was trying to say that he doesn't want to "die" (end of his career) like fireworks, which brighten for a moment and then die abruptly, disappearing. He wants to end his career more smoothly, falling slowly, and bringing beauty to this world even that time. (It's just my interpretation, ok?)
he is one of a kind artist in our generation. he is way ahead and beyond his peers i would say. they call him "philosopher who raps" in korean media
RM is a poet, he poetic and honest in his lyrics writing.
The beauty and glory of success, of fireworks (which are fleeting and quickly extinguished), the journey in search of a greater meaning and the true “I”, in a storm of feelings and sensations, until reaching peace, balance in a field of purple flowers....
RM is a poet. The sincerity that passes through poetry is incredible. I see a lot of artists who make songs about things and people. In BTS, most of the time, they talk about their own experiences. This brings us much closer to them, as we identify with real feelings
RM's lyrics always works your brain. Sometimes might even a bit too complicated too deep, but you always learnt something and eventually you have a new angle of seeing things.
Army has answered most of your questions - RM is a creative genius & every album is different from the others. His early mix tapes are RAP on nitro - fierce, aggressive, and combative....as he's aged & his experience has widened. That's not even counting the BTS music craft he created with their album theme arcs.
Thanks for sharing your personal stuff. And, yes, I have cried many, many times when I listening to this song. These men are deep, authentic, emotionally mature and deeply spiritual.
This is the power of BTS. It hits you with emotions. Welcome to the club! Thank you for your reaction!
RM is a literal genius with a very mature artistic flair. Master of language and rhyme. He's an amazing lyricist. RM is one of the main writers of BTS. He has over 200 song credits.
Hes the leader, main song writer and main rapper of the group. Hes great poet, and loves word play, once you get more into them you'll understand, hes a great writer and pours his heart and soul into these songs, the song pretty much is telling you that their fame turned into shackles, he wants to be at peace like a wildflower (flower work) not like a firework work that's gone in just a few seconds. Hes a brilliant writer. Once you find out more about them, you'll know that they have been through hell and back for absolutely no reason that people just treated them like trash, and they still remained humble and such sweet down to earth guys. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
His whole solo albums are amazing.
His lyrics are poetry.
I'm so proud of our leader RM(Kim namjoon)
Other 6 members really respect their leader.
BTS is for me 'somethind different & special.'
And solo songs from 7 members of BTS are very versatile and good.
Thanks for giving chances for BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
He's the main rapper and the leader of the group. And an amazing lyricist (poet)...
Namjoon *always* writes his songs always always
@@ruthfischer7615 he's credited in all songs of RPRP as a writer/composer, just not as a producer lol although he also produced most of it
@@ruthfischer7615 writing songs means writing lyrics. producing songs means in terms of the beats. op said he always writes his songs, meaning the lyrics. what op said are just facts, which you yourself agreed that he writes the lyrics to his songs. theres nothing to disagree on here since you yourself agrees he writes his songs (which means writes the lyrics).
@@ruthfischer7615 i think you're confusing writing and producing
@@marirezende8478the usual BigHit format for credits is with the producers singled out, and all of the songwriting team (both lyrics and music, like melodies, beats, special arrangements for a certain instrument, etc) all under other item. The way we can know if someone took part of the lyrics specifically is only when a song goes through the TV broadcasting approval process and the listing for that gets public. In that listing they credit lyricists in one item, and music writers and producers in a second one. They do that because the approval depends on lyrics (if they mention brand names, profanities, so on), so it makes sense to differentiate that way. As Namjoon's second album didn't have a TV promotion setup, we never got that
@@its_always_the_7 "songwriting" includes music too. Producing is a different task. I think you're confusing "songwriter" with "lyricist". But I agree we are all meaning the same here. It's just an issue with semantics
RM and SUGA's style always leaves me perplexed by how thoughtful and deep their songs are. They really have an incredible talent for expressing and transmitting emotions. If you don't know, RM is part of the BTS Rap line and they are the core and support of BTS, the rap line is involved in most of the BTS songs from the composition and production, you can review it in each song in the credits, RM has over 200 compositions to his name (I really don't know the right number) and helps his members when they need to compose songs. I recommend that you see the BTS Guide
Thank you for the authenticity of your reaction.
I'm 50 yo, I've seen and heard a lot of artists in my life, but RM is definitely one of the most significant on this Planet. He loves Art in all its forms and gives us the benefit of it. It's an honor to have access to his work, his words, his music, his quest for meaning, his care to do things intelligently, and his desire to be a dignified human being while refusing to conform or give in to pressure. I have the utmost respect for him, as I do for the whole group, where each member brings the best of himself and strengthens the others.
When it comes to BTS, the complexity of their lyrics, the beauty of their sentence construction and the subtleties of their wordplay, it would be useful to consult websites such as DoolsetBangtan traductions. In addition, exploring explanations of MVs in context, such as the YT channel BookishTheories, adds value.
Hello from Switzerland
Well put, and to add further, DKDKTV have done some excellent 'explained' videos for some of BTS's more culturally Korean songs.
Masterpiece!!! Rm is amazing!
Flowerwork: In addition to what others have said, Firework in Korean is 불꽃 (bulkkoch). Fire flower is Korean is 불 꽃 (bul kkoch)...same words. A firework is a fire flower in the sky. So he used a play on words, as he does so often, to get flowerwork. It is 100% intentional, and kind of brilliant if you ask me.
RM has released a new album a couple of months ago, Right Place Wrong Person, that has been in several lists of the best albums of the year so far (Rolling Stones, Billboard, The Guardian, etc). You could react to the whole album from top to bottom. It’s truly amazing
Oh, our RM is such a jewel! He is special and Army loves him so much! He is the leader in BTS and received a lot of hate from anti’s and he consistently proves them wrong and keeps shining and using is lyrics, production and music to send his message. He always has a way to bring a message from a new angle and he makes us all think! thank you for sharing and I am really enjoying your reactions. 💜💜 for you and your producer! 😊
You never get what you expect from any of the members you get a new experience every time
RM definitely wrote this and is one of the greatest poets of our generation he is always word playing and saying quotable things. His mind is beyond. 💜
Of course he wrote this 😭 this man has been writing songs since he was 12 years old
It's the Woman's voice that makes me emotional. You should see him perform this live with her.
RM은 시인이자 래퍼죠. 알엠이 쓴 가사를 음미한다는 것은 삶을 음미하는 것을 뜻해요. 알엠의 음악은 점점 깊이를 더해갑니다. 리뷰 감사해요!
BTS will surprise you every time. You never get what you think you expect. Alway blown away 💜
RM, Suga and BTS as a whole has sent me crying in a corner on very many occasions so no worries, we understand. They're not just pop boys, they can get very real in their music. And I agree with you about RM carrying a lot of sadness. I honestly worry about him sometimes but I also know how strong and resilient all seven are, including our precious leader💜
Rm’s latest album Right Place, Wrong Person is an audiophiles DREAM. I think you’d appreciate the choices he made. Musically and production wise it’s incredibly interesting. He has a more indie/alternative vibe than the others
Kim Namjoon aka RM BTS leader ,rapper composer, poet ,producer etc..the main composer of BTS songs ,one of the best lyricist in history ,he like to plays words a lots and yes,he the one who compose this songs ,knowning what he and his members been through is painful😢 ..thank you
Any song of Rms is pure genius for sure.
Everyone who commented did thier homework on RM/BTS💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
저는 아직도 이노래를 들으면 눈물이 나요.
우리 남준은 정말 열정적이면서, 서정적인 사람이고, 가슴속에 큰 불꽃을 품고 있는 아티스트입니다.
방탄소년단의 곡들을 가장 많이 쓴 작곡가이자, 작사가이고, 그의 이제까지의 음악 여정을 보면 그저 감탄하게 됩니다. 그는 음악으로 그의 감정을 솔직하게 표출합니다. 가장 멋지게!!!
RM is the group's lyricist and rapper who writes the most beautiful BTS songs and as a soloist his lyrics are his own emotions.
9:10 look do not apologize, this song makes me cry every time i listen to it, even if i don't have the lyrics up💜
RM is the Leader/Spokes person for the group he keeps them in order and sorts out any problems. The group support him and always speak highly of him. He's member the group is built around underground Rapper. He's BTS's main song writer although they are all song writes, composers and producers each to a lesser or great extent. RM he's foremost a poetic and uses a lot of word play with his lyric's and has an amazing 148 IQ and speaks 3 languages fluently.
he is the leader of group and a rapper
That's our precious leader of BTS aka RM aka Kim Namjoon. Check out his solo projects including group projects, collaborations, etc and you'll understand the growth he's gone through. He's extremely poetic in the lyrics he composed in his mysic. Yes, she says "flowerworks"....wordplay with fireworks and flower because some fireworks look like beautiful glittey flowers hence "Wild Flower". There's so many layers to BTS and each member. This song is just ONE of so many songs/masterpieces produced by these guys. It's been a very long journey for them...a continuous one and ARMYs are right by BTS’s side...always. 💜🎶
RM is well-known in BTS and well loved yes, but he has always taken a back seat ( willingly) for the sake of the group. He is very business minded, he is a numbers guy. But his creative side, his artistic side is music and poetry. He fell into the hip hop rabbit whole when very young 10 or 11 and soon found himself socializing with underground rappers. He was menterd by some of the older Rappers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
HE IS GENIUS, HE IS HEALER, HE IS POET, HIS ISS MYYY HANDSOME JOONNN, HE IS KING, HE IS THE LEADER OF THE BIGGEST BOYBAND ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s a rapper. he is a songwriter, a producer, he’s a genius, he is a poet, and the best. All the guys at BTS are fantastic. I’m glad you’re listening to it. Fabulous song.
RM is phenomenal.
For funk, you should react to songs on RM's latest album, Right Place Wrong Person (RPWP). It's insane! Nuts, Groin and Lost are some favorites!
He's "the Leader" and a rapper, writer and producer. BTS does not have a "lead" in the way that you might think. RM's lyrics tend to be quite poetic and the likes a metaphor, as well as, allergory. Thanks for your reactions. Have a great weekend!
He is also the main rapper
Our leader playing with the words, is bts poet! Moves all hearts always! 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜
I am going to suggest AIRPLANE pt2 to you. I happen to love how adventurous they have been with their creativity when delving into music. They truly love music, and creating it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
Welcome to RM who has two mixed tapes and two albums that all sound different. It sounds Katy Perryish because of the chord it is sung in.
RM is the writer of this song with Docskim. Docskim is the producer.
RM does slow rap, R&B and alternative.
I get the kid part. I am 60 so they feel like kids to me - I get it.
RM the Poet. Youjeen is 90s rock-singer from Cherry filter (she is "k-rock" and still making music). K-pop what we know is just one part of S-Korean musicindustry.
If you have intrest as producer, you can watch or react? (BANGTANTV is BTS official):
- RM 'Indigo' album magazine film. (There RM and producers, collabs.. talks about making album).
- BTS 'ON' commentary film: dialogue (where americans tells making music to ON, 2020)
- Coldplay x BTS inside 'My Universe' documentary. (When Chris Martin went S-Korea during covid to make collab with BTS)
Greetings from the north edge of Europe
I cry ALL THE TIME listening to BTS or watching them. It’s a testament to their talent that it moves you.
Flowers go away in winter and grow again in spring, a peaceful process. Fireworks are stars and burn out. He’s been famous for 10 years and they need a break. I love your BTS reactions keep it up!!! ❤
I think "flowerworks" vs "fireworks" is in how flowers are soft and beautiful, gentle vs fireworks 🎆 are explosive and to a degree consuming the sky around it.
So I always thought of it as him saying he wants to make a big impact on the world but in a soft & gentle - Yet beautiful way... ✨
I also have PTSD and the songs that had me in tears was this one ⬆️ but also AgustD/Suga's (also BTS) songs "Amygdala" and "The Last." And although I need to specify the Trigger Warning ⚠️ on these; they have Personally helped me through some really hard times.. His words have been painful, but beautiful and incredible Healing... 💜
Las letras de RM son hermosas 🫰💜💜🇦🇷 Argentina
Jungkook is the main vocalist of BTS, and Lead Dancer
Jimin is one of the Main Dancers of BTS, and a Lead vocalist.
RM (Kim, Namjoon) is the Group Leader, Main Rapper, and one of the main Songwriters of BTS. He was the first member chosen and the group was formed around him.
I hope you have the closed captions on, because his lyricism is on another level, and he is talking about his journey. He also came up with the name Flower Work. I think it's beautiful. It means something in the middle of a Wild Flower and a Firework. He doesn't want to be a firework that burns out quickly, but would like to keep his feet on the ground like a wild flower, and be with the other wild flowers with no name. So Flower work is shining bright but not high up in the sky, on the ground with the other flowers.
When you said that you thought RM was singing about his experience with PTSD, it would make sense knowing what BTS has been through, as well as ARMY walking alongside them. I cried thinking about the things that BTS had to endure, and it always hit RM harder, being the Group Leader, and actually working hard at not only being the best he can be, and supporting his members, but protecting them along the way.
It reminds me of the time they were at the Billboard Awards or was it the AMA's, and they were walking the red carpet, and they were getting rude and racist hate comments from the reporters. And RM being the only one that is fluent in English knew every word they were saying and just moved them along. Or how he would translate English comments for the other members to make them nice and not tell what the real ones were, because they were hate comments. So many instances when they were young and just debuted (ages 15 to 20), and they were experiencing so many negative things, from being accused of plaigairism, or being removed from the lineup on music shows, to struggling with no money and working all hours of the day and night to learn their choreography, write their songs, recordings, producing their music. And then getting hate and being blocked in the Korean K-Pop industry, and being hated on by underground hip hop/rap for becoming K-Pop IDOLS. I can imaging that being a detriment to anyone's mental health, espcially when you are 18 and the leader of a group and on a constant roller coaster to realize your dreams.
I'm very happy that you checked out RM. He's a really special person, and he started out writing poetry, until he found hip hop, and that encouraged him to make his poems into rap lyrics, and he wanted to sing and rap and write music. He realized that dream, but it's been a tough journey for him, and the other 6 members. I look forward to more of your reactions, and please excuse the long comment, but your reaction inspired me to write it.
Fiquei perplexa e agradeço este comentário, porque só sei das suas músicas, só há pouco tempo é que comecei a quer saber mais um pouco sobre cada um. E acho doloroso, ler ou ouvir certas coisas, porque os admiro.
@@Maria-z8z 💜
I remember thinking how ARMY would gladly form a human boundary around however large the space Namjoon needs for him to find some Peaceful Moments 🪻🪻🪻🪻
The whole Indigo album is a gem and now his new album WPRP is unbelievably great. They keep getting better by the minute. He is an amazing rapper. There are 3 rappers and 4 singers on the group. He can go on the sweetest or on the grittier side. He tries to say he prefer flowerworks than fireworks (fame and all that).
RM is a great lyricist💜
thank you for the reactions. I hope you are doing better, whatever challenge come your way sir.
Esta hermosa canción llega a mi corazón siempre lloro al verla también está cantada en vivo puede verla si desea 💜
Great reaction....BTS is 7 humble and very talented young men..3 rappers..RM, SUGA and JHOPE...and 4 vocalists...JIN, JIMIN, JUNGKOOK AND V. They all are capable of songwriting, composing and producing...and have written most of their
Own music and lyrics...although rap line has done most of it .. going solo fave each of them a chance to really go deep into their own individuality....much to the delight of ARMY😊
He's the leader and one of the rappers of the group he does mean Floweworks, Fireworks burst in the air snd disappear Flowerworks will burst then land and last for a long time 😊 the song is emotional and beautiful 💜
Don't worry about getting emotional! The more you dive into their discography the more you will have similar experiences. They have fun catchy pop songs but the majority of their work has deeper meaning that most of us can relate to. Because they write the majority of their lyrics they are based on their experiences and feelings. I think this is one of the reasons the fanbase has such a wide age demographic because no matter how old you are everyone can relate to certain things. I also feel this sets them apart from other groups. You may find alot of BTS fans are not necessarily fans of kpop in general (some are) because our connection goes much deeper than the music. They are seven incredible, humble and talented human beings that started from the ground and worked their way up. I am a 55 year old that has experienced alot of different music in my lifetime but I can honestly say I have never been this passionate about a group or singer before. I look forward to your next reaction. 😊💜
Its oke to Show your emotions once in a while.. some of their solo songs and group songs have really deep lyrics base on they experience.
Sometimes they even making lyrics that have deep meaning but are packaged in cheerful music so that we ARMYs don't get too carried away by the lyrics even though they are sometimes sad meaning..
FYI:
BTS Has 3 Rappers: RM, SUGA, JHOPE and
4 Vocalists: Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
And they all are AMAZING artists..💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
RM is a rapper (Suga and J Hope are the other two rappers ). All three are different but very good. I hope you'll react to J Hope too, as I see you have reacted to Suga's Snooze (which I loved). I love Wild Flower. It is so beautiful.
thank you for the reaction 💜 his last album is called Right Place Wrong Person and it’s critically acclaimed, not too long ago named as one of the best albums of 2024 by rolling stones. i recommend the titile track LOST!
Your reaction brought back memories of what I felt when I first heard the song. With RM, it’s all about the lyrics. He is a poet first and foremost. I was a mess at first listen because this is a man I love and respect so much. Wildflower is still in my top 3 of favorite songs out of all the solo releases. The song is so beautiful and sad, but there is a resolution in the end so it is also hopeful.
I can't wait for u to check out more stuff from RM. U will be blown away by his talent & lyricism! 😁
With BTS you will always get variety no matter if it’s the group, subunits, or individuals.
RM will always give you lyrics of depth & poetry. He can sing & rap from the soft soulful sound to heavy hard spitting bars.
You’ve only just begun your journey & it’s a deep rabbit hole. Keep tissues & water nearby they will be needed.
💜🫶💜
This song never fails to give me goosebumps
Virtual Warm hugs to both you and RM from me .
Thank you @ismotjahan9769, same to you!
