Carol 💜

Woohoo, let's goo!! Missed you familia 💜💜 QOTD: each performance it's amazing but I'll say the one on Mama where they have the "dance break", it's so artistic!!

cheese cat🍮

tysm! so excited to revisit fake love with you guys :D

niki

So excited! Did y’all hear about the PTD Las Vegas concerts?

Madison

QOTD: The fake love intro for the GDAs in 2019 was really good, but I don't think I have a favorite each fake love performance has its own highlights

I'm not sure if the song has to do with the storyline but it'll make sense, since the MV has to do with the storyline and we're mainly seeing the problems they had individually and after their falling out (in the storyline). Joon with his reflection, Jin with everything crashing and him trying to protect/save them, Yoongi with the fire and piano, Hobi with the chocolate bars and the kids' playground equipments, Jimin with the water (when he was trying to drown himself) Tae with the phone (I assume this was when he was trying to contact Joon), Kook watching all of them falling apart while he is left alone(?)

fake love was apart of the storyline btw. all the scences connect to the bts universe, not themselves personally.

Mina

thanks for this familia !! also the making film in the 2018 memories has a ton of more of the mv making so hopefully we get to that sometime :)

Carol 💜

There's the theory too about JK being Abraxas or something like that, don't really remember much anymore 😅

essi

You guys have been through the storyline right? I was surprised when you didn't recognise the items from the storyline. Maybe you'll end up learning a lot more about the BU from your discography journey

cheese cat🍮

this was the era where jin started to become my bias. he's so pretty and he caught my eye on stage. i could never take my eyes off of him.

Carol 💜

Yes, the Extended ver. Is a rock version there's also a performance that they did to it in the Japan concerts, i recommended it but you didn't see it maybe... The MV Shooting Sketch is longer on Memories 2018, excited for when you get there!!

Carol 💜

The teasers and the MV for Fake love are heavy in the storyline so we weren't that confused but wow, it really was a moment... And about the song, all the Love Yourself eras are like periods(?) Like in Her is the pretty love, where everything is good and you give your all to the other person, in Tear is really about the "Love" tearing apart because it's toxic, you gave your all and the person didn't give it back and you don't know who you are anymore because you lost yourself in the person... But there's also the interpretation that Fake love is about the toxic fans and etc. like the line "try to erase myself and make me your doll" the toxic fans just want them to be perfect and stuff like that you know?? P.S.: Seeing you guys trying to guess what is happening having no clue is kinda funny 😂

Carol 💜

Família, please read this in a joking way but sometimes it feels like you guys have short term memory syndrome 😂😅

BTSroyals (Jazmin)

Haha even I do but then I come across it for the third time and I’ll most likely remember again 😂

Courtney can do it with a broken heart

I'm just sitting here smiling, this was my first comeback and I didn't understand it at all when I first saw it. I was like... colours, water, fire, explosions, handsome faces, cult guy haha. It was like I stepped into a different world, it was so different to what I had ever seen them do before.

Carol 💜

You guys frustrated over the BBMAs performance is a mood!!! It was so so bad, feels like the only time they really focused on them was when JK showed his abs lol, it's iconic because it was the first performance but not for the camera work.... At least i feel like today is not that bad, like the recent AMAs it was not that bad but it was still very bad 😅 Omg familia, when you saw Taehyung fake lip ring and both of you put your hand on your lips at the same time!!! The synchronization!!!

Blank Canvas

I totally feel your frustration when seeing the BBMA performance 😅 And i love your reaction 😁

Carol 💜

I'm so excited for when you get to the comeback show and Namjoon Behind, because there's things that only they can explain to you!! Encore performances are so much fun!! I miss watching it, they would always promised to do something if they win and it would be hilarious!! All the time at the end they would took their time saying bye to armys and in 2018 everytime Taehyung leave he would say "So show me" and army's would respond with "i show you" it was so cute!!!! I'm sure they miss this music shows they were so sad when doing it in ON era since there was no Armys there :(( P.s.: i feel like you guys will react to Namjoon ripping Jk's shirt on YouTube, familia 🤔🤔 I'll wait for it hahah

María Isabel Hidalgo

I dont remember if you have already watched the 2018 MAMA performance, but if not YOU MUST WATCH IT!!!!! it is really amazing and mindblowing (and the dance practice of that performance is a must too) Borahae

Familia fake love is part of the BU. The things they trade are connected with the highlight reel. for example Namjoon trade the mirror piece for the hair tie. That hair tie belongs to the girl he met in the highlight reel.

BTSroyals (Jazmin)

FAKE LOVE IS A PART OF BU ( bangtan universe) therefore the storyline is basically trauma’s of each of their characters in that universe but it’s still reflects their feelings as idols and people at that time. From their teen Vogue Interview 2018 namjoon said this "Basically, our albums are like a four-part series; [the series] is about love. So [Love Yourself: Tear] is part three and it's like a turning point. We're saying that if you're not true to yourself, your love won't last forever. The love could be person to person, it could be between me and myself,"

Go rewatch the highlight reels and HYYH era MVs you will see the connections for the visuals/symbolism of the Fake Love MV.

Its actually part of BU (BTS Universe), continuity of the previous story in the previous mv of BU

itsbangtantime

Hi familia....first of all...y'all are the sweetest people i've ever come across and u are one of my fav people.....I'm so excited for LOVE YOURSELF:TEAR MY FAV ALBUM OF ALL TIME AND THE OUTRO:TEAR is probably the most impactful song ever and after knowing the real meaning behind that song from yoongi and namjoon its just hits so different I RECOMMEND YOU GO FOR THIS LIVE VIDEO WHICH ALSO HAS THE COMMENTS FROM YOONGI AND NAMJOON ABOUT THE SONG https://youtu.be/P6L-plnDdNI LOVE YOU FAMILIA....CAN'T WAIT💜💜💜💜

dee

on bighit survival show iland when bts were invited, they did explain a bit about the dance. if I'm not mistaken, jimin and hobi said that one specific part in the dance is like a mannequin or a doll that's being tied (?) like the one we always see on theater, oh I think its like puppets? like someone is controlling your move, and that's when I think it correlates with the lyric "make me your doll"

dee

also when the first teaser came out I rmb army twts discussing whos hand holding this item and that, we were trying to connect the dots with all those short films on wings era and hyyh. it was so much fun I rmb watching tons of theories videos back then hahahah

CocoNam

It is telling me the file is view only.

peio

May I suggest reacting to the Japanese original songs and soundtrack-only songs as well? :D We can watch once you're all caught up in the discography ORRR anytime :)) There are a lot of gems in SoundCloud like "WE ARE BULLETPROOF PART 1" it's a surprising song

ApricotFlower

Just a little fun fact😊: you asked how the masks stay on their faces. I think it was backstage at MMA 2018, it was mentioned that there is a mouthpiece to bite inside the masks so that it can stay without their hand's support.

Fake Love is timeless. They could drop it tomorrow and it would still feel ahead of time. So for Fake Love, the mv is related to the BU storyline (notice the objects and traumas have appeared in other mv's thats why jimin says is time to face his trauma from I NEED U, water/drowning) The lyrics are not part of the BU, but from the love yourself trilogy. It started with Her, the bright happy side of love but sometimes you want to please someone that much that you end up changing yourself to the point that you can't even recognize you. It could be love for someone, it could be fame. Why I love about bts songs is that theres multiple interpretations I can't stop repeating that part of the choreo at 31:31 when they move 3 to one side and 3 to another side to start a new formation, so smooooooth

this song..this era.. have no words just a literal masterpiece

L

you probably couldnt tel but the funniest part from the encore stage was that jin and tae just rapped anything , they just changed up the lyrcis hahaha

Lainee Fenton

I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction! When you both grabbed your lip for Tae's lip ring I lost it laughing 😂 and I also do the 0.5x speed watching the practices! It's my favourite way to watch them, so I support this notion for future practices. I can't say much for this era because I came in at the end of the LY era as a fully fledged army so I played catch up for the end of 2018, so I KNOW I would have been WHY? HOW? and WHAT FOR? for every thing in this song 😂 I was super confused but so into the story and concept. Fake lake really is a masterpiece and LY TEAR is that b***h!

Line Henriksen

I remember all the theories etc. It's part of the Bangtan Universe with the notes and the all their eras HYYH etc. I was such an exciting time!!!

Chrissy

My favorite Fake Love performance is definitely the BBMAs 2019 Bangtan Bomb version. One camera shooting it from the front so you see the complete choreo and the audio shows how hype the audience was. Its amazing!

Line Henriksen

I was so frustrated during BBMA, because we barely saw the performance!!

The teaser and the mv are connected to the BU and the Highlight Reels. Armys had soooooo much fun trying to decipher the teaser and how it connected to both and what it meant. I don't mean to spoil anything, but I figure it's okay to mention now? Really quick, what each member's focus is: in the BU, Jungkook runs away from home and is homeless for a period of time. That's why he's living in the walls and wearing crappy clothing with holes and stuff. RM is also homeless, living in the cargo container. Jimin had something traumatic happen with water in the BU, and he has this fear of water/drowning now. Hobi's mother abandoned him at an amusement park and left him with just a snickers bar - and the snickers going through the keyhole is similar to how he was in the institute and they would drop a pill through the slot at appointed times. You also see his sleep problem, how he randomly falls asleep. Tae is trying to call Joonie for him (when he gets his one phone call from prison), but the phone turns to sand and he's unable to call/Joon is unable to answer. Jin is the one protecting the Smeraldo flower (most likely) and the opening/closing of curtains is exactly the same as the BU scenes. And Yoongi wants to set things on fire again (and it's connected to music, like in the BU, Highlight Reels, and Wings teaser). I hope this all makes sense, lol.

Steph

Helloooo, just been catching up on all the reactions slowly but surely lol. This era is truly everything, this was my first real comeback after becoming army when they first performed on the AMAs with DNA. I remember getting that teaser for fake love and I lost my sh** lol. Also just so you guys know, the snickers bars were mostly because of the storyline from the BU, where Hoseok's mom abandons him at a carnival with just a snickers bar, so when the first snickers goes through the door in the video it's like his fear is trickling in and risks engulfing him. We later see that his fear of abandonment DID engulf him in the extended version when Hoseok's hand is pulled down and engulfed by the snickers (his fears/trauma). Hopefully this helps :)

How did I miss this reaction? I thought I caught up😅 Fake Love is one of my fave eras. I love when groups do a dark kind of concept. Everything about this era is art! Jimin’s iconic jazz split will always have my jaw on the floor everytime I see it. He’s inSANE! He does it so effortlessly and gets back up like nothing😳🤯His body control, technique, expression, strength, and flexibility is top-notch!
