It doesn't recharts. Spring Day never left the charts from since the day of it's released even you can see on Top 100 Melon charts, Billboard world digital sales charts, etc. Even now it's chart at 65 on Melon's Top 100 chart in South Korea.
It was the 10 yr anniversary of the Sewol tragedy yesterday. Families still need answers. Spring Day has become the anthem for the families and my country in mourning
I think my very low informed opinion is that the tragedy was caused by capitalism they stacked too many shipping containers on the deck for profit and this caused the rip over,the teenagers were told to stay in place as the crew were badly trained and underpaid and didn’t have proper exit procedures.
@@suekennedy1595 unfortunately my country's government failed the grieving, and still grieving families. There are still many questions from the families
Love the Jin voice appreciation! I have watched someone say the same thing! He's a vocal coach too. When I watch reaction vids, people rarely appreciate his voice but those who knows their thing, appreciates his voice. Because as Richard said his voice cuts through well, the coach I watched (I forgot his name sorry!), said that Jin's voice balances all their voices together. His voice is like the bridge that connects & supports their voices well altogether.
I watched the Sewol sinking on the day and it was crazy sitting so far away and not being able to help those young people. Heartfelt condolences go out to all those suffering from the tragedy.

👋 me too. I had just been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Life Goes On suddenly came up on my feed. I listened and it helped me realize I wasn’t alone and the sun was going to rise tmrw. I had hope and I’m from the US and had never heard of BTS! So strange but I started to research them and my miserable days went by faster and I had something to look forward to. ARMY gave me strength too!! 💜 😉
@@winkpinky1445 There is a saying within Army, you don't find you BTS, BTS find you when you need them most. Happened to me in 2019, I was in a very dark place and BTS came on my feed, I've never looked back, my life is getting lighter thanks to our boys.

I found them when i saw isolated because i had corona , and my first song was boy with love and i still remember it was april 2020 and later on i found out that me and bts have birthday on same date june 13th , but yeah they saved me and i became huge fanboy of bts , they always inspires me to be best version of me even looking at members like rm the epitome of knowledge jk with workouts similarly with each member i tried to pick up things and it definitely made my life better.
Spring Day is heavy, but ultimately cathartic and even triumphant... and that's what BTS does. They hold your hand through the darkness, they give you all the space you need to cry, but they never let you forget that spring WILL come again.
I remember RM and Suga said that, when written, it was about missing friends from their childhood that they no longer saw. The Sewell ferry incident was not allowed to be mentioned by anyone in South Korea or they would be blacklisted and so BTS bravely made the music video in order to bring it to light.
I wish people had a better true understanding of Korea's environment at the time. When Spring Day was released, the president had already been impeached and they were moving on with kicking her out of office and arresting her. This was past the time of 'blacklisting'. The streets were filled with people protesting against the government, and you probably couldn't find someone in Korea who wouldn't talk about it. They most likely didn't speak directly about it because it was obvious and because they were showing support, not taking away attention from the cause. They were brave for donating back when it was damaging to speak about it, but I don't think it's fair to say releasing Spring Day was 'brave', at least not when the real bravery were people protesting on the streets and celebrating the president's impeachment openly.
Yes, unlike in America where the citizens have freedom of speech, it is not the same in S Korea It would have been viewed as hate speech against the government if anyone spoke out about the Sewol tradegy. Other songs hinted at the tradegy but for me and I think many others, none of them hit the heart like Spring Day does due to the way the song was openly crafted and then in combination with the video, Spring Day has steadily remained on Korean music charts for 7 years.
@@lunariadynasty3065 this is incorrect. The president had already been impeached and was heading to prison by the time Spring Day was released. Literally everyone in Korea was talking about it. Years before, like when BTS donated money, there was the possibility of being “blacklisted”, but not during this time. Also, the “blacklist” already had BTS one it, the whole thing was just never put into motion before the president was impeached. And it was from other stuff they had done, like Yoongi’s lyrics about mocking a conservative politician from Daegu in Ma City and Am I Wrong. It had nothing to do with them supporting stuff about the Sewol tragedy. Also, be more careful about your descriptions of South Korea. It is more conservative than the US, but it is also a democracy and that’s what they literally went to war (and still technically in war) for. People CAN express their opinions and protest and do important things, I mean they literally impeached and threw their corrupt president in jail, America has never done something like that. And “black listing” is a thing in America too. Ever heard of the Dixie Chicks? They literally were blacklisted for speaking up about the USA’s invasion of Iraq. Let’s not speak down on other countries’ citizens with the idea that America citizens is somehow “more free” than them.
Of course, til this day, they don't say it out loud. But the MV made it clear (3 years later, maybe because they felt the memory fade away) and, in this case specifically, it doesn't change the intention just because they didn't confirm it publically. Army and the whole world understood and remembers. Never forget. 🫂 🎗 💜 (That's why we keep our queen in the charts! It's not an accident. NEVER FORGET!)
I love it when people who really know about music and vocals appreciated Seokjins voice 🥹 our moon, silver voice Thanks for reacting to the queen of their songs 💜
I love Jin’s voice too. His tone is so unique that there’s no one like him and I’m so addicted it!💜 Can’t wait for him to release his solo album when he’s back from the military 💜
The song ‘Spring Day’ is a personal meditation by RM and Suga on the grief of separation from friends and family and the loss of friendship. RM began writing sitting in a park in autumn, watching leaves fall and thinking about those he’d left behind when he moved to Seoul to pursue his musical dreams. Suga wrote from the same emotional place as his song ‘Dear My Friend’, which was addressed to a very close friend from his youth who he ultimately lost to drugs and prison. The video takes that universal theme and is very definitely evoking the national tragedy and scandal of Sewol. It quickly became adopted as part of a national movement which eventually lead to a change of government and the impeachment and imprisonment of the previous president. Artists were being blacklisted for supporting the protests so they had to be careful. The BTS members had already quietly donated about a third of their 2015 earnings to support the families of the victims and had met with some of them. This only emerged after the families spoke out to defend them when they were attacked for ‘exploiting’ the disaster. I think it’s important to recognise that the song and video both end with a tentative expression of hope. That’s why it deserves its place as an ‘immortal song’.
I watched a documentary about the Sewol incident last year on this day, which is the commemoration of the incident. It is really heartbreaking. For the families that lost their members, for the survivors that lost their friends, even for the rescue party (divers), the incident left a deep scar. I read a diver committed suicide because he couldn't bear the image of the students bodies left in the sinking ship. It's very tragic. I was crying watching the documentary. So sad..
I see someone (Johnny) has become enamored with our WWH Jin 😄 ALSO, I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST. I've missed your BTS reactions. Spring Day never fails to make me cry.
The government neglected the rescue, but many fishermen and civilians joined small boats and braved rough waters, risking their lives to search for survivors. Although the golden hour had already passed, there was no chance of their survival, but the people did everything they could to send the children to their bereaved families. I gathered it. All celebrities were reluctant to mention it for fear of being disadvantaged by the government, but BTS created Spring Day and comforted the bereaved family and the people with this song. The president who did not take any rescue measures at the time was impeached and punished, and korean have still not forgotten this incident.

The way you managed to hear different styles of songs from BTS and yet like all of them is a testament to the quality of music BTS put out. Music you can enjoy as they make you cry and then smile. Also, I didn't realize that you all had not officialy heard Dynamite yet. Once Johnny started saying he knew it because it was a huge song I kept agreeing because yes, Dynamite is a huge hit and was such a turning point for BTS and their career!
Queen Spring day. In December, when army was really sad bc of their enlistment, it charted again and even pushed 2 songs from the top of the charts which ALWAYS are on top in December here in Germany, all I want for Christmas and the theme for „3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel“. I Love Spring day. It IS kind of wholesome
I love hearing people praise Jimin's vocals. He's so special. The best thing about him is as beautiful as his voice is, as beautiful as his face is, his heart is equally as beautiful.
RM said his lyrics were about how he missed his friends, how he wishes they could be there to share his experiences with him, and how he's missing out on theirs. They didn't get to continue growing up together and that made him sad, at times. The lyrics do lend well to the tragedy. I usually avoid hearing this beautiful song because it's so heartbreaking.
if you notice in the mv/studio version, it was RM who sang the first verse, but in tinydesk it's j-hope. j-hope actually has no lines in the studio version (only hidden backing vocals) but they eventually decided to give the part to him when they sing live. (feel free to correct me if im wrong ARMY, but thats what i understood from research)
I know they said they pick lines which fits them. I think Jhope fits the lines he sings live. But what I also think that Jhope not having a line in the MV could represent the youth that don’t have a voice and are oppressed both the tragedy and still now. It’s probably not correct but that’s just what I think.
It always amazes me how you guys can pick up on the melodies really quickly, esp Johnny who can play them in a matter of minutes after listening to it. I mean duh, you're professionals, of course you guys can do it, but it's still so amazing to me. ❤
Film Out is such an underrated song, or at least to me. It was released in the same year as Butter. It kinda went under the radar. I love Jin's voice too, especially live. During live shows we can really hear his voice. I kinda get that "cut" reference.
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen both explanation videos, I get choked up every time. Spring Day is such a beautiful song. It has so many special meanings.
So this actually happened a day or two before a big kpop concert in LA that year. My mom and I both were kpop fans going and were talking about wearing yellow the moment we heard about the ribbons. But the second we arrived we realized several girls from different fandoms already had made hundreds of yellow ribbon pins for everyone at the concert. They gave them away for free and offered it to all fandoms and ages, as long as you were there for Korea they gave them. It was one of the first times I realized kpop as a category was getting popular, they were ready to show solidarity and support, didn’t accept money for anything, and only offered donations boxes to be sent to Korea with whatever anyone could give. There was a popular rookie group who got blacklisted for talking against the president, they were 24K (and have rebranded since), and have faded to mediocrity as a result of her evil list. Both RM and Suga swear now Spring Day isn’t about that tragedy, but a lot feel there’s too many connections to say it’s not. But as long as they’re safe and respected, a lot of people will continue to support the song like a badge of honor because it means so much to them. 💜
That was an interesting experience. As you say, apparently the song wasn't originally written for the ferry incident, but the MV was. I also remember once they sang it live, with the whole background showing the bottom of the sea.
Good morning guys thank you for this amazing reaction! Spring day has a very special place in my heart and I loved the way you addressed it. All the members are amazing but I really appreciate Johny’s comments about Jin’s voice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is the only song that can make me cry every time I hear it. When the man is at the City Council meeting begging for justice did you notice that the people sitting at the table and against the wall are not paying attention to the man sobbing but are looking at their phones. In the song they mention WHITE SMOKE. When a new pope is elected: With each unsuccessful vote, the cardinals release black smoke through a chimney visible from Saint Peter's Basilica. When the College of Cardinals has elected a new pope, white smoke is released to announce that a new pope has been chosen.
Oh my God, how beautiful, thank you for this video, I got really emotional watching it. the boys sing too much, and I'm in love with Jimin's voice is 💜💜💜🇧🇷🫰🏻
I don’t know it anyone posted this but at the time no one (musicians, etc) could ‘talk’ about the accident or they would be blacklisted, etc. They also couldn’t support or protest in any way.
I wish people had a better true understanding of Korea's environment at the time. When Spring Day was released, the president had already been impeached and they were moving on with kicking her out of office and arresting her. This was past the time of 'blacklisting'.

They most likely didn't speak directly about it because it was obvious and because they were showing support, not taking away attention from the cause.
The mix of Spring Day here is the one they always perform BUT it's not the recorded version. In the recorded version Namjoon (RM) does the part that JHope does here. In this song, JHope had A LOT of harmonizing vocals with the vocal line. So to perform it they gave JHope that part at the beginning since what he did for the song would be on the backing track of the song.
3 lead rappers and 4 lead vocalists make up the mega group that is BTS. They are so talented and endearing that they are able to shine on their own, but together, they are magic. Film Out is one of my favorite songs, and Spring Day is timeless. Thank you for your reaction!
Really love this in-depth, genuine, thoughtful reaction. Emotional rollercoaster but appreciate the organic nature of your BTS exploration! Love Johnny’s musical interludes and your commentary based on your expertise. 💜
As always, you killed it! Thanks for one more excellent and emotional reaction. Richard, don't worry, none of us was able to hold the tears back at that moment. The pain in those parents' voices is something that breaks any single soul. As a parent, it is worse because it is too relatable 😢 Film out is also about loss. As you perfectly said, even when the subject is hard, they transmit a message of hope. At least, better times will come. 🙏🙏 Thanks for your joy, your sympathy, for spreading your knowledge in a so soft way, for your beautiful musical "pauses", Johnny! Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Oh! I forgot to say that Spring day is called "the Queen", for obvious reason 😊
There are even more live scenes that cut your heart to pieces...like the one where they line up the parents and grandparents to identify their dead children. The wailing and cries are so so soul crushing...
Film Out is SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭❤ Jimin actually has a voice of an angel. Jin and Jimin's voices are especially beautiful in 'Film Out'. The harmonies and layering are both so beautiful too. I'm watching this while being sick too @richard hahaha bts is healing xD truly
They're really good at doing that mixture of melancholy and hopeful, and it really gets through even when you don't know the language or even what they're singing about (when first time listening). It's just baked into the composition, and among the 3 members who are the primary writers in the group (basically rapline) they are ALL. REALLY. REALLY. GOOD. at this. Their songs are just really well crafted, which i think is a rarity in popular music these days *shakes fist at cloud* It feels a little corny to admit this but I still do suddenly find myself choking up or even just outright crying when Spring Day comes on, it just hits me right in the feels. And it's not even the only BTS song that has that effect on me. It's crazy that these young guys singing in Korean can have that effect bc I can't think of any other artist who can do that to me on a semi-regular basis
I missed the live yesterday 😫 Aww Film out ❤ that's my all time favourite BTS Japanese song!! You guys should have watched the MV too its a piece of Art! Spring day song is played every year on South Korea's National Cultural Day, its become an anthem 💜
I really like the Film Out mv too as well as the lives. Your Eyes Tell is an equal favourite or slightly ahead in my rankings I feel. Gets to me somewhere deep inside that one.😊💜
Kudos to Richard and Johnny for another great live session although this one had many of us in tears not just Richard. Thanks for handling the topic with such care. Sewol Ferry Tragedy is such a scar on Korean history and so many families are still living with the emotional trauma. Our thoughts and prayers go with them on the anniversary Whether you choose to react to it or not, I recommend listening to the So Hee Immortal Songs 2 Spring Day version. It’s incredibly moving to hear the song that has become an anthem in a traditional, Korean folk style, and her voice is just gorgeous. I think you would both appreciate it.
RottenMango dies an amazing episode doing one of the best description and explanation about this horrible tragedy and explaining the Korean culture and all the BS involved with this when all the people on the ship could have been saved. What happened and especially what did NOT happen is so much worse than we know. Was really eye opening and surprising the US Navy involvement. Spring Day, to this day, is one of my favorite BTS songs. 💜
Adding to your ending comments, I have always thought of BTS as the perfect example of "greater than the sum of its parts". I am relieved you watched the whole BTS Tiny Desk for a couple reasons, but mainly for the breather it provided after the explanation video. Oof. I have come to expect thoughtful analyses from you both and I appreciate the sensitive responses and humanity you both demonstrate. Thank you. And finally, thank you for the extra gift. Film Out is one of my favorites with that performance being in my top 5 live performances for the vocals.
Spring Day is a song that I feel has many meanings and layers, and all of them are true at the same time. It's about a dear friend of Yoongi, it's Namjoon writing about loss, it's about breakup, about renewal, about hope, about moving on, about those who are not with us any more, it's about breaking away from the accepted status quo and seeing that a better society/future/life might exist. The music video goes more into direct references to Sewol, but it also brings in references to Snowpiercer, and The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, and much more. It's a song and a video that could be read on so many levels, and that's why it has such lasting power. It is eternally relevant, and eternally true.
I'm soooo happy you did this! Also, gotta say it's so wholesome remembering your first reactions in October, was it, failing to recognise who is who and compare it to now, like Johnny actually noticing Jimin's hair colour change 😂 Also, I'm still waiting (patiently, I'm sure time will come) for you to do Lie. And when you do I'm BEGGING you to react to: the song, the lyrics vs musical structure of the song (I KNOW Johnny will be in heaven to analyse that ❤) AND then Jimin singing it live WHILE dancing. Just prepare to be blown away. I love your reactions. Yes, Richard, BTS heals! 🎉
Some other very good performances by them are: Love Maze Live BTS Stay Gold Live BTS Heartbeat MV BTS Letter Dear Army Live-Jimin Festa live 2021 BTS Dream Glow Song BTS Winter Bear-V Rainy Days-V Love Me Again-V Louder Than Bombs Song BTS Born Singer Live BTS Life Goes On MV BTS
Love your reactions and specially that you started feeling better after listening to BTS . Both of you take care. And hi to all ARMY watching the video.
I am so happy you reacted to this. I love Spring Day, but it really puts you through the wringer from sadness to anger to nostalgia, that BTS for you. And I was super excited you did tiny desk as I love to see them live. And when you ended with Film Out, which is one of my all time favorites, i was literally doing thie Snoopy Happy Dance! I am happy you came back to them. Would love Crystal Snow, Tomorrow, and Baepsae. Thank you for you open reactions, we all feel it.
Thank you soooooo sooooo sooooooo much for this! Reacting to Spring Day and the explanation video (technically a fan theory) by Italian ARMY. This song really was what I needed when I was at my lowest some years ago. This song is SO special to me. And I LOOOOVE the Tiny Desk Concert!! It always puts a smile on my face.
I agree, you have to close yourself off from all the tragedies that happen every day so you can function. It’s why I stopped watching the news. I already suffer from depression, and putting a stop to the constant negativity helped my mental status so much, especially during COVID. Discovering the boys helped, too!
BTS songs and their voices have healing touch. They are so uniquely talented. The members love, support and respect each other. Thank you for your reactions. Appreciate you guys. Like what Jimin said “You’re nice, keep going!” Borahae 💜
Spring Day is known as the Queen. Any time Army is going through something, it recharts.
Funnily enough, it never actually left the top 100 chart in SoKor.
It doesn't recharts. Spring Day never left the charts from since the day of it's released even you can see on Top 100 Melon charts, Billboard world digital sales charts, etc. Even now it's chart at 65 on Melon's Top 100 chart in South Korea.

I've heard vocal analysis say that Jin has a "rocker" voice or one good for "metal". Now I notice it every time!
I watched the Sewol sinking on the day and it was crazy sitting so far away and not being able to help those young people. Heartfelt condolences go out to all those suffering from the tragedy.
Also so far away the images of all those empty class rooms stayed with me forever.

I love Jin’s voice too. His tone is so unique that there’s no one like him and I’m so addicted it!💜 Can’t wait for him to release his solo album when he’s back from the military 💜
The song ‘Spring Day’ is a personal meditation by RM and Suga on the grief of separation from friends and family and the loss of friendship.
RM began writing sitting in a park in autumn, watching leaves fall and thinking about those he’d left behind when he moved to Seoul to pursue his musical dreams. Suga wrote from the same emotional place as his song ‘Dear My Friend’, which was addressed to a very close friend from his youth who he ultimately lost to drugs and prison.
The video takes that universal theme and is very definitely evoking the national tragedy and scandal of Sewol. It quickly became adopted as part of a national movement which eventually lead to a change of government and the impeachment and imprisonment of the previous president. Artists were being blacklisted for supporting the protests so they had to be careful. The BTS members had already quietly donated about a third of their 2015 earnings to support the families of the victims and had met with some of them. This only emerged after the families spoke out to defend them when they were attacked for ‘exploiting’ the disaster.
I think it’s important to recognise that the song and video both end with a tentative expression of hope. That’s why it deserves its place as an ‘immortal song’.
I watched a documentary about the Sewol incident last year on this day, which is the commemoration of the incident. It is really heartbreaking. For the families that lost their members, for the survivors that lost their friends, even for the rescue party (divers), the incident left a deep scar. I read a diver committed suicide because he couldn't bear the image of the students bodies left in the sinking ship. It's very tragic. I was crying watching the documentary. So sad..
I see someone (Johnny) has become enamored with our WWH Jin 😄 ALSO, I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST. I've missed your BTS reactions. Spring Day never fails to make me cry.
It never left the korean charts since it's release in 2017!
Idk why but Johnny reminds me of Chris Martin every time he compliments and talks about Jin.
The government neglected the rescue, but many fishermen and civilians joined small boats and braved rough waters, risking their lives to search for survivors. Although the golden hour had already passed, there was no chance of their survival, but the people did everything they could to send the children to their bereaved families. I gathered it. All celebrities were reluctant to mention it for fear of being disadvantaged by the government, but BTS created Spring Day and comforted the bereaved family and the people with this song. The president who did not take any rescue measures at the time was impeached and punished, and korean have still not forgotten this incident.
Thanks so much for your reactions guys, and especially consideration and sensitivity regarding Spring Day.

The way you managed to hear different styles of songs from BTS and yet like all of them is a testament to the quality of music BTS put out. Music you can enjoy as they make you cry and then smile. Also, I didn't realize that you all had not officialy heard Dynamite yet. Once Johnny started saying he knew it because it was a huge song I kept agreeing because yes, Dynamite is a huge hit and was such a turning point for BTS and their career!
Queen Spring day. In December, when army was really sad bc of their enlistment, it charted again and even pushed 2 songs from the top of the charts which ALWAYS are on top in December here in Germany, all I want for Christmas and the theme for „3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel“. I Love Spring day. It IS kind of wholesome
I love hearing people praise Jimin's vocals. He's so special. The best thing about him is as beautiful as his voice is, as beautiful as his face is, his heart is equally as beautiful.
I DID NOT EXPECT FILM OUT my favourite BTS Japanese song man I feel hit by amazing vocals it gives me chills I'm happy you did this thank you
I love everyone who suggested and voted film out!!!! MY SONGGGGGG
RM said his lyrics were about how he missed his friends, how he wishes they could be there to share his experiences with him, and how he's missing out on theirs. They didn't get to continue growing up together and that made him sad, at times. The lyrics do lend well to the tragedy. I usually avoid hearing this beautiful song because it's so heartbreaking.
Jins voice touches hearts, it feels close to us when hearing, it sounds personal. Magical Jin 💕
Jimins voice😍😍
if you notice in the mv/studio version, it was RM who sang the first verse, but in tinydesk it's j-hope. j-hope actually has no lines in the studio version (only hidden backing vocals) but they eventually decided to give the part to him when they sing live. (feel free to correct me if im wrong ARMY, but thats what i understood from research)
En la versión en vivo, J-hope toma líneas que la versión de estudio son de RM y JK, de igual forma, Jin toma partes de JK
I know they said they pick lines which fits them. I think Jhope fits the lines he sings live. But what I also think that Jhope not having a line in the MV could represent the youth that don’t have a voice and are oppressed both the tragedy and still now. It’s probably not correct but that’s just what I think.
That's a mystery. Maybe someday we'll get a logical explanation. 🤷♀️
he does have lines in the studio version, its even in the mv. and THEY choose their lines no one "gives" them to them
@@bt6248 the explanation is thats how BTS wanted it
It always amazes me how you guys can pick up on the melodies really quickly, esp Johnny who can play them in a matter of minutes after listening to it. I mean duh, you're professionals, of course you guys can do it, but it's still so amazing to me. ❤
Film Out is such an underrated song, or at least to me. It was released in the same year as Butter. It kinda went under the radar. I love Jin's voice too, especially live. During live shows we can really hear his voice. I kinda get that "cut" reference.
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen both explanation videos, I get choked up every time.
Spring Day is such a beautiful song. It has so many special meanings.
BTS Tiny Desk: I love the 70's colors/styles of clothing to match the vibe of Dynamite. These guys never miss any detail.
When my husband and I need a good cry, Spring Day is the go-to song for us. I'll probably have it played at my funeral; it means that much to me.
There's a saying....Armies are always just one "bogo shipta" away from bursting into tears.
True...💜

So this actually happened a day or two before a big kpop concert in LA that year. My mom and I both were kpop fans going and were talking about wearing yellow the moment we heard about the ribbons. But the second we arrived we realized several girls from different fandoms already had made hundreds of yellow ribbon pins for everyone at the concert. They gave them away for free and offered it to all fandoms and ages, as long as you were there for Korea they gave them. It was one of the first times I realized kpop as a category was getting popular, they were ready to show solidarity and support, didn’t accept money for anything, and only offered donations boxes to be sent to Korea with whatever anyone could give.
There was a popular rookie group who got blacklisted for talking against the president, they were 24K (and have rebranded since), and have faded to mediocrity as a result of her evil list. Both RM and Suga swear now Spring Day isn’t about that tragedy, but a lot feel there’s too many connections to say it’s not. But as long as they’re safe and respected, a lot of people will continue to support the song like a badge of honor because it means so much to them. 💜
That was an interesting experience. As you say, apparently the song wasn't originally written for the ferry incident, but the MV was. I also remember once they sang it live, with the whole background showing the bottom of the sea.
Yeah Suga has said it was written about the same friend as his song “Dear My Friend”, but the MV lends itself to the tragedy so perfectly
BTS Japanese songs hits different, film out is my top 1, can't wait for you to hear crystal snow.
Spring Day still charted on Melon Top 100 since released. Now at number 52.
Yahoo, Welcome back to BTS!
Our main vocalist jungkook co composed n co writes this beautiful Japanese movie song....film out...sooo amazing 😍...n soo proud of JK 😊💜💜💜💜💜😍🔥
Jungkook harmonies in Film Out are amazing
Jin is the power balladist of the group, he needs a good rock ballad!!
Good morning guys thank you for this amazing reaction! Spring day has a very special place in my heart and I loved the way you addressed it. All the members are amazing but I really appreciate Johny’s comments about Jin’s voice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jimin's voice... lifts me up, calms me and excites me at the same time.
I missed yall BTS reactions! 💜
나는 늙어가지만 아이들의 봄날은 영원해...
This is the only song that can make me cry every time I hear it.
When the man is at the City Council meeting begging for justice did you notice that the people sitting at the table and against the wall are not paying attention to the man sobbing but are looking at their phones.
In the song they mention WHITE SMOKE. When a new pope is elected: With each unsuccessful vote, the cardinals release black smoke through a chimney visible from Saint Peter's Basilica. When the College of Cardinals has elected a new pope, white smoke is released to announce that a new pope has been chosen.
Oh my God, how beautiful, thank you for this video, I got really emotional watching it.
the boys sing too much, and I'm in love with Jimin's voice is 💜💜💜🇧🇷🫰🏻
I don’t know it anyone posted this but at the time no one (musicians, etc) could ‘talk’ about the accident or they would be blacklisted, etc. They also couldn’t support or protest in any way.
*publicly
I wish people had a better true understanding of Korea's environment at the time. When Spring Day was released, the president had already been impeached and they were moving on with kicking her out of office and arresting her. This was past the time of 'blacklisting'. The streets were filled with people protesting against the government, and you probably couldn't find someone in Korea who wouldn't talk about it. They most likely didn't speak directly about it because it was obvious and because they were showing support, not taking away attention from the cause.
The mix of Spring Day here is the one they always perform BUT it's not the recorded version. In the recorded version Namjoon (RM) does the part that JHope does here. In this song, JHope had A LOT of harmonizing vocals with the vocal line. So to perform it they gave JHope that part at the beginning since what he did for the song would be on the backing track of the song.
3 lead rappers and 4 lead vocalists make up the mega group that is BTS. They are so talented and endearing that they are able to shine on their own, but together, they are magic. Film Out is one of my favorite songs, and Spring Day is timeless. Thank you for your reaction!
Really love this in-depth, genuine, thoughtful reaction. Emotional rollercoaster but appreciate the organic nature of your BTS exploration! Love Johnny’s musical interludes and your commentary based on your expertise. 💜
BTS are simply the best . Greetings from Tricity in Poland :-)
Wait till you hear "Crystal Snow"
As always, you killed it! Thanks for one more excellent and emotional reaction.
Richard, don't worry, none of us was able to hold the tears back at that moment. The pain in those parents' voices is something that breaks any single soul. As a parent, it is worse because it is too relatable 😢
Film out is also about loss.
As you perfectly said, even when the subject is hard, they transmit a message of hope. At least, better times will come. 🙏🙏
Thanks for your joy, your sympathy, for spreading your knowledge in a so soft way, for your beautiful musical "pauses", Johnny!
Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Oh! I forgot to say that Spring day is called "the Queen", for obvious reason 😊
JHope ‘s voice was not on the music video. RM sang the beginning. Can’t remember why but he always sings the first part of the song live.
Film out ....a jungkook masterpiece 💜💜💜😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥💯💜
I still cry whenever I think about the Sewol my daughter was the students age at the time of the accident
There are even more live scenes that cut your heart to pieces...like the one where they line up the parents and grandparents to identify their dead children. The wailing and cries are so so soul crushing...
Film Out is SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭❤ Jimin actually has a voice of an angel. Jin and Jimin's voices are especially beautiful in 'Film Out'. The harmonies and layering are both so beautiful too.
I'm watching this while being sick too @richard hahaha bts is healing xD truly
They're really good at doing that mixture of melancholy and hopeful, and it really gets through even when you don't know the language or even what they're singing about (when first time listening). It's just baked into the composition, and among the 3 members who are the primary writers in the group (basically rapline) they are ALL. REALLY. REALLY. GOOD. at this. Their songs are just really well crafted, which i think is a rarity in popular music these days *shakes fist at cloud*
It feels a little corny to admit this but I still do suddenly find myself choking up or even just outright crying when Spring Day comes on, it just hits me right in the feels. And it's not even the only BTS song that has that effect on me. It's crazy that these young guys singing in Korean can have that effect bc I can't think of any other artist who can do that to me on a semi-regular basis
The Queen.
I missed the live yesterday 😫
Aww Film out ❤ that's my all time favourite BTS Japanese song!! You guys should have watched the MV too its a piece of Art!
Spring day song is played every year on South Korea's National Cultural Day, its become an anthem 💜
I really like the Film Out mv too as well as the lives. Your Eyes Tell is an equal favourite or slightly ahead in my rankings I feel. Gets to me somewhere deep inside that one.😊💜
I don't know if you already watched their cover of Fix You (Coldplay) but it's so so good too
Kudos to Richard and Johnny for another great live session although this one had many of us in tears not just Richard. Thanks for handling the topic with such care. Sewol Ferry Tragedy is such a scar on Korean history and so many families are still living with the emotional trauma. Our thoughts and prayers go with them on the anniversary Whether you choose to react to it or not, I recommend listening to the So Hee Immortal Songs 2 Spring Day version. It’s incredibly moving to hear the song that has become an anthem in a traditional, Korean folk style, and her voice is just gorgeous. I think you would both appreciate it.
RottenMango dies an amazing episode doing one of the best description and explanation about this horrible tragedy and explaining the Korean culture and all the BS involved with this when all the people on the ship could have been saved. What happened and especially what did NOT happen is so much worse than we know. Was really eye opening and surprising the US Navy involvement. Spring Day, to this day, is one of my favorite BTS songs. 💜
So happy you chose the Explained by the Italian ARMY for this, and then followed it up with something lighter. Appreciate ya'll so much
Adding to your ending comments, I have always thought of BTS as the perfect example of "greater than the sum of its parts".
I am relieved you watched the whole BTS Tiny Desk for a couple reasons, but mainly for the breather it provided after the explanation video. Oof. I have come to expect thoughtful analyses from you both and I appreciate the sensitive responses and humanity you both demonstrate. Thank you.
And finally, thank you for the extra gift. Film Out is one of my favorites with that performance being in my top 5 live performances for the vocals.
Suga has a great squeak 😂
That he does….
Crystal snow is such a good song too😊😊😊
That's one of the reasons for Army to be so hudge BTS always have meaningfull songs
Spring Day is a song that I feel has many meanings and layers, and all of them are true at the same time. It's about a dear friend of Yoongi, it's Namjoon writing about loss, it's about breakup, about renewal, about hope, about moving on, about those who are not with us any more, it's about breaking away from the accepted status quo and seeing that a better society/future/life might exist. The music video goes more into direct references to Sewol, but it also brings in references to Snowpiercer, and The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, and much more. It's a song and a video that could be read on so many levels, and that's why it has such lasting power. It is eternally relevant, and eternally true.
I'm soooo happy you did this!
Also, gotta say it's so wholesome remembering your first reactions in October, was it, failing to recognise who is who and compare it to now, like Johnny actually noticing Jimin's hair colour change 😂
Also, I'm still waiting (patiently, I'm sure time will come) for you to do Lie. And when you do I'm BEGGING you to react to: the song, the lyrics vs musical structure of the song (I KNOW Johnny will be in heaven to analyse that ❤) AND then Jimin singing it live WHILE dancing. Just prepare to be blown away.
I love your reactions. Yes, Richard, BTS heals! 🎉
1:24:40 Forget the pool and let Johny go wild on those keys! I love when he plays!
Loved the random Pink Floyd moment there at the end😂

Love your reactions and specially that you started feeling better after listening to BTS . Both of you take care. And hi to all ARMY watching the video.
Greetings from South Africa. Found your channel through Dimash Reviews and really enjoy your insight into music. Your reactions are fantastic.
Great great great reaction! I’m glad you watched the Italian Army explanation. Spring Day brings so much comfort to me 💜
wow you really had the most insane choice of songs/lives in the same livestream! BTS brings all sorts of emotions out of you
I stand with you who miss those who had to stay in their cabins
I am so happy you reacted to this. I love Spring Day, but it really puts you through the wringer from sadness to anger to nostalgia, that BTS for you. And I was super excited you did tiny desk as I love to see them live. And when you ended with Film Out, which is one of my all time favorites, i was literally doing thie Snoopy Happy Dance! I am happy you came back to them. Would love Crystal Snow, Tomorrow, and Baepsae. Thank you for you open reactions, we all feel it.
Thanks guys! Bts is love, pure love!!!
Сколько уже слушаю Film Out, каждый раз как в первый восхищаюсь их исполнением.
Спасибо за реакцию.
С нетерпением жду новых видео 💜
Thank you soooooo sooooo sooooooo much for this! Reacting to Spring Day and the explanation video (technically a fan theory) by Italian ARMY. This song really was what I needed when I was at my lowest some years ago. This song is SO special to me. And I LOOOOVE the Tiny Desk Concert!! It always puts a smile on my face.
Missed you reacting to BTS! 💜 Love to watch you guys!
spring day was released 7 years ago? I felt old for a moment lol. I feel like it was yesterday
I agree, you have to close yourself off from all the tragedies that happen every day so you can function. It’s why I stopped watching the news. I already suffer from depression, and putting a stop to the constant negativity helped my mental status so much, especially during COVID. Discovering the boys helped, too!
The Rice Squad gave a good explanation of the MV for Spring Day. Thank you for your reaction to MV, explanation and Tiny Desk.💜💜
BTS the only artist that had 3 songs on the chart in 3 different languages including English and Japanese.
Thank you for this. I'm so glad you finally reacted to their tiny desk performance. I've been waiting for this reaction video.
My favorite pop song by anyone ever.
Great reaction (no surprise) - tks!!
Thank you guys, i love BTS, i am ARMY from Brasil !!!!! Thank you so much💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So glad you reacted to Spring Day and the Tiny Desk concert. It made my day.
Transportation!!!!!!!! Omg....I have no idea...l was touched..😢
BTS songs and their voices have healing touch. They are so uniquely talented. The members love, support and respect each other. Thank you for your reactions. Appreciate you guys. Like what Jimin said “You’re nice, keep going!” Borahae 💜
I saw the teens in the ferry videotaping a final message on their phones to their loved ones and absolutely broke down
*Bts is healing me !!* ... Now you get it 💜 why we love them 😌😌😌
