t

EARLY DROP YESSSS

Eyvazova Ceyran

PLEASE REACTION BTS "SAVE ME+I'M FINE"(LIVE PERFORMANCE)

Ems ⁠♡

all bangers indeed but definitely NOT what I was expecting 😭

nelle

permission to dance being in the lineup is frying me especially because nobody voted for it in the livestream for a reason... PTD isn't a bad song- it was very good and necessary for the time. but they have so many songs that are more representative of their artistry i wish they would've reacted to a few b-sides :(

Ninia

Blood sweat and tear lore is crazy. Yall would love to watch some explanations if you'll have some time 💜

Sienna

You guys need to check out the rapline Cypher (1 to 4), Ddaeng, Outro- Tear and vocal line House Of Cards, The Truth Untold

katsuki’s wife

I just thought of a fun idea for a reaction! 👀 BTS have some Halloween dance practices on the BANGTANTV channel, and they are SO entertaining 😂 1. Go Go (Halloween ver.) probably the most fun one! 2. War of Hormone (Halloween ver.) seriously, I always die laughing at how good they are at acting AND dancing + you can add any other dance practice video to make it 3 in one video reaction (maybe mic drop?) idk I just thought this would make such a fun and entertaining reaction! 😭💜 If you guys like this idea, please support the comment so Geks can notice it!

Ezel⁷ ⊙⊝⊜

Blood Sweat and Tears is inspired by the book Demian, the whole album Wings is asw. This ties into the Bts Universe (storyline that started in 2015 in their MVs with the HYYH albums). The MVs since then are all connected untill like 2020 if I’m not wrong.

R.Az

Out of all songs y’all could have done y’all did my universe and permission to dance🥲🥲I mean don’t get me wrong it’s good songs but there are so much better, like save me, danger, boy in luv, war of hormone, fire, not today, run bts, tomorrow, etc. Glad y’all did blood sweat and tears tho

Sara

Guys can you react to blackpink GO music video PLEASE 🫰🏻

kim

Early drop

anna

interesting line up...

Anya

Yayy blood sweat and tears! Random list but it's okay lmao Next bts music day if doing new music: I need u, run, save me, spring day. Also highly recommend mv + dance practice + live format in future. Ty Geks 💜

maria⁷

omg you need to check out the 13 minute docu on youtube about the making of my universe, it’s such a vibe

t

there is SO MUCH meaning behind blood sweat and tears

gi⁷ ❦

17:57 this jimin outfit of permission to dance is the same one ken wore in the barbie movie 😭 and ryan gosling, the actor who played ken, even made a video giving jimin ken’s guitar since jimin wore the outfit before ken did lmao

Honey⑦

Lol, these songs are good but good lord lmao. Random ass songs, i cant stop laughing!! 😭😭😭. All bangers tho, ngl. Now, please can you react to albums!! Chronologically!! In order. Their first album came in 2013 with title No More Dreams. One album once a week and one ROB and one suchwita would be perfect for now!! Please! BTS only makes bangers but its very imp to listen to songs starting from their debut, you'll know their progress. RM, suga and JHope made songs from their debut, then other members joined in Wings era(BTS releases albums in eras or triologies).

m_jk7

blood sweat and tears is part of the storyline of the bts universe, there is a whole lore behind that you should understand, you havr to watch the video expanation of the bts universe by XCELESTE on youtube made in 2020

Nanami's Wife

I feel like they chose those songs because they're the most recent songs from their latest album before arirang. I'm guessing they're waiting to listen to old songs from album reactions or will do new songs casually, but I wish they added Run 2022 since they liked it in the concert and it's the same timeframe as the other songs. But I am happy with 'Blood Sweat & Tears' and 'Life Goes On', my faves💜 and the other 2 are also nice

Tye Bradford

Anyone else think the mv and meaning for my universe hits harder now with all the grammys stuff going on .. music unites us all

Callie

Ayyyyyy love the early drop, a very random assortment but that keeps things interesting! thanks guys!

ChooseYoFightaaaa

I always feel bad for skipping the ptd and my universe reactions but…out of allll the bts tracks, it’s always the “safe” English pop songs that get reaction vids at first despite all the constant recommendations. lol. And I actually like butter/dynamite just fine too. But seeing any of these four get chosen is like watching someone go for the plain kids’ chicken nuggets sitting in the corner of a decked out Korean buffet.

Nanami's Wife

Love the reaction! I hope we do get album reactions soon because I feel like it's time to dive more into their older songs as newbies. You really see them progress as musicians and seeing the talent from the get-go. I feel like songs like PTD or My Universe doesn't do them much justice😭 not saying they're bad tho😭 It would be also fun for an album favorite/ranking in the near future too

Simone⁷

ty for the early drop geks!!

Simone⁷

ty for the early drop geks!!

agreeddddd anya we need i need u, it’s time to start getting into the BU!!! 🙂‍↕️

Aleks T

i just saw bts on d1 foxborough, i am so borahae i am so purple rn its insane

mads

Blood, sweat and tears is one of my favourite bts songs to talk about. The album it comes from is WINGS, this MV and the album is based on the book Demian by Hermann Hesse. The spoken part by Namjoon is actually an extract taken from the book, and there’s multiple more extracts spoken in the other WINGS short films, throughout the album each member represents a period of life that the main character Emil Sinclair lived. It’s a story of boyhood, morality, temptation, the contrast of good and evil, and one’s own self discovery. In this MV, Jin ultimately represents Emil Sinclair, at the beginning, Jin is facing a painting, one half is light, one half is dark, and there is a door either side, a white door and a black door, but Jin is in the middle, highlighting Emil not knowing which side he should take, Jin kissing of the statue is a direct parallel to Emil in the book, when he kisses Demian/the depiction of Demian, and gives into the temptation of evil, but ultimately realises that you have to accept both the good and evil to reach self actualisation. The German quote near Jin translates to “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star” and Taehyung represents Abraxas in the story, the tempter, a fallen angel, that encompasses both the good and the evil and the transition into the innocence of childhood into adulthood, which Jin/emil gives into. Abraxas represents those who break away from societal expectations, and how it’s seen as a “mark of shame” turned into individuality. There’s so many more details to this MV and era, so I definitely recommend you guys react to the whole album, the short films and Xcelestes explanation video of this concept in the album when you get the chance. It’s genius! (Additionally: this era also follows on from their own storyline , the BTS universe/hyyh, where each member has their own character and storyline along with a group storyline)

Callie

Ahh and the behind the scenes of Chris and BTS making my universe is SO good and it’s short, def worth a reaction

Barb

blood sweat & tears was my first comeback after getting into them in august of 2016. i’ll always remember the day i was on my way to church (i’m not even religious like that but i’d go with my mom when she asked) and i got the notification that the boy meets evil comeback trailer dropped (as a jhope bias mind you when he was the one who performed that comeback trailer). i watched it right before going in and it’s all i could think about when i was there 💀

Melissa

no i know idk why they haven’t done that yet 😭😭

Aleks T

yall need a specific video dedicated to the hyyh music videos! its what got me into bts in the first place. also all of the wings short films dedicated to each member. those films are all connected to blood sweat and tears mv !!

VictoriaKyuu

Jungkook was in his emo era in PMD lmaoooo he looked goofy as heck like who thought that was a good hairstyle 😭😭😭

Angel

i love how you picked 4 different songs completely on 4 different spectrums, -one is highly connected to the BU and just darkly sexy. My universe is then extremely ethereal and spacey and of course coldpla. then we get permission to dance lmao and life goes on, love it.)

JAN NARUTO

Save me and spring day pls

niiieres

i cant wait for you guys to get into the albums and solos cause yoongis solo ver of life goes on is one of my fav songs in their discography

kim

You guys should watch the Go Go live and the Halloween dance practices You know what do all the Halloween dances practice

Nanami's Wife

and the kpop industry was so gagged, the song was a funeral for some groups at the time I fear😭

Lamya

Ahh not my favourite lineup but it’s okay, i was hoping for run , I need u ,forever young and save me ,these are bangers

Rana

BANGERSSS 😩😩😝

yellow

bts's discography is funny when its randomized like this

Sock

My universe is so.....

keyla

I had Life Goes On literally on REPEAT during covid

Nanami's Wife

When I tell you when I first watched 'Blood Sweat & Tears', something changed in me. I was never the same (Army was born that day😭)

Jo

so glad you guys loved permission to dance! a lot of people don't like it, but it's filled with such good vibes

Anya

Yess nelle! 🙂‍↕️ Can't wait for that day so exciting!

Harika Boggula

Guysss !! In permission to dance, the dance included sign language and it's so endearing. You can check out some of the videos. They're sooo cool!

Rana

Yall are so f annoying! It's a great song what's wrong with reacting to it? If you don't like it just be shut up and don’t watch it!! There’s people love who LOVE this song and helped them through a hard time but u all have to say this everytime 🫩

Sienna

I'm sooo happy to see you guys loving the last 2 songs❤️ Those songs really comforted me and millions of army all around the world through Covid

Jo

would love to see you guys watch all Bangtan Universe videos in order

Angel

Boys now that you've gotten a taste of the BU (bangtan universe,) i need yall to deep dive into the lore videos, you will be mind blown at how deep the story is~

Bri 🦔

This lineup 😭😭

Rana

Since you think the two songs are good and they've already reacted to them what's the point of this talk? Some of you making people hate these songs because of the way you're talking!! Oh my God

I’m Maya

I HEARD BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS LIVE A MONTH AGO AT THE BTS CONCERT

mina

yup ptd was saving lives during that time🥹. i do not get the hate it gets... even in this comment section😒

Lamya

He love the emo look so much😭since the beginning lol

halaziahearts

jungkook is my bias and yeah that ptd hair is not it lmao

Anna⁷

damn really random line up but we got bst

Taetaele

Blood Sweet and tears has so much lore

nelle

The dance they're doing in PTD is sign language! They wanted to make the song universal. The cowboy outfit that Jimin was wearing in the beginning also went viral and was used for the Barbie movie. Also Cannon Jungkook cut his own hair for the PTD mv lol. The MV for Life Goes On was filmed in their actual dorm that all 7 of them lived in and was directed by Jungkook. The reason Tae was looking at the stadium is because their Map of the Soul 7 tour that was supposed to start that April got cancelled due to COVID so they never got to preform everything they prepared. It took ON (the title track of MOTS 7) 2 years after release to be preformed at an in person concert for a live audience which was in LA.

mina

actually the chorus and brigde in permission to dance incorporate international and korean sign language. there's 3 dance moves that say enjoy, dance and peace in sign language🥰

E L

PTD NOOOOOOOOO I ERASE THAT SONG FROM MY MEMORY

mina

yess

Nanami's Wife

Carter yelling "CHOCOLATE CHEEKS??"😭😭 Yeah RM what did you mean by that.....😏 chill im easy

Aya

Idc what anyone says ptd is such a good fun song it always makes me want to dance and also hearing it live at the the ptd concert was magical

nelle

he cut it himself and loved it lol

Aya

They saved it during the middle At Least 😭😭😭😭

mina

jungkook directed the music video for life goes on!!

VictoriaKyuu

Omg I didn’t know that! What was HE THINKING but I’m glad he was happy with it lmao

Y

becouse Jk is the main vocalist he starts many songs guys

yob

armys dont argue in my replies pls its embarrassing. I get some ppl dont like when ppl are introduced to bts discography with ptd because usually those ppl end up thinking that is the genre of bts but that doesnt mean we should be talking bad abt a song that was released to lift everyone's spirit during a hard time and it succeeded. These guys aren't listening to bts for the first time they know the discography is a wide range so we dont have to worry abt one song making them think bts is just pop or something.

Lamya

Thanks for the early drop💗🙏🏼

bailey

The lead up to blood sweat and tear was insane, they dropped short films prior that all told a story. It was insane time! A lot of the MVs back in the day are tied into a bigger story. The “BTS Universe”. The MVs were all connected! It was like a puzzle and so fun to watch and research everything!

Taetaele

A quick bit of context before analyzing “Blood Sweat & Tears” without getting into spoilers: BST is part of BTS’s larger fictional universe, but the MV is also heavily inspired by Hermann Hesse’s novel Demian. The main idea is growing up, losing innocence, temptation, and confronting the darker parts of yourself. The imagery is therefore very intentional. The religious references, angels, statues, wings, classical paintings and sculptures all connect to the idea of falling from innocence and entering adulthood. The “temptation” in the song isn’t necessarily meant to be interpreted literally as something demonic — it can represent desire, inner conflict, curiosity, and the things that attract us even when we know they might hurt us. Demian is especially important because it challenges the simple idea that people are either “good” or “evil.” Growing up means recognizing that both sides can exist within the same person. So when watching the MV, I’d pay attention to the contrast between innocence and temptation, beauty and danger, heaven and falling, and desire and suffering. And don’t worry about knowing the entire BTS lore to understand BST! The MV works perfectly on a symbolic level by itself, while the deeper connections become clearer if you explore the story afterward.

doing

they skipped the bangers bruh

Nanami's Wife

Bro she's just saying she would've love for them to choose some b-sides songs. All BTS songs are bangers, but it's okay if people have a preference. I know Butter be getting hate sometimes, but I still enjoy it. And most people are just commenting being surprised bc it wasn't voted/recommended before so chill

kri

The wholesome mvs today i see

Taetaele

If you guys want to react to the actual BU universe, I’d really recommend following the storyline in chronological order. That way you can also try to make your own theories and guesses along the way, which honestly makes the whole experience much more fun. It’s basically impossible to understand absolutely everything from the MVs alone, because the story is spread across different formats. you’d need to read the books/webtoon and even play the game to get the complete picture. But you can definitely understand the general storyline just by following the MVs in order. Then, after you’ve watched them and come up with your own theories, you can watch a lore summary/explanation to fill in all the details you missed. I think that would make for a much more fun reaction than having everything explained beforehand!

chantal bavaud

Lol ramdom line up 😭you should defenetly do albums not just random songs. Like how you choose the songs? You should defenetly do it more in order

SAGA

Love, thank you guys for the reaction!💕

愛

it’s a random lineup but it’s not like ptd and my universe is gonna ruin their ears lmao. THEY WILL GET TO REST OF THEIR DISCOGRAPHY EVENTUALLY 😃

Rana

The BST mv are so artistic and like heavy? In good way 😭 like too many things in the mv plus ITS IN THE ONE ALBUM WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING… well the previous one HYYH did really well and was the start of success but Wings album did VERY big achievements at that time! So proud and the song is so addictive so GREAT

Bri 🦔

In ptd those 3 high school students were 2 newjeans member and 1 former big hit trainee

Noha⁷

I don’t even remember anyone asking for ptd and my universe but sure lol.

Rana

I LOVE PTD my universe and LGO!! These songs really have memories and I can't stay silent when I hear these songs I have to sing along!!! 😂 Truly great songs!

emanuela

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS OMGGG😭😭😭

nelle

Rana can you chill and not be rude? Everyone is being respectful and expressing their opinions. Nobody here said PTD is a bad song so I don't know why you're bringing that up. I only brought up the poll because thats how the Gek's figure out what songs their viewers are interested in and its true that PTD didn't receive any votes in that poll. Again, objectively and personally I think PTD is a good song! But they also didn't write it or have a lot of involvement in it's creative development, therefore we're expressing our hope for the Geks to react to more of BTS's discography that they personally wrote and that are representative of their full depth of artistry.

Noha⁷

No one was hating rana

Nanami's Wife

Bro there's a clip of Las Vegas day 1 concert when one of the surprise songs DJ spin was PTD, and RM and Jungkook made a "really..?" face😭😭 it was funny😭 But I do enjoy the song, it was nice they did it during/after covid as a way to comfort fans💗

Beth Edwards

I'm not ready for the ROB blood sweat and tears 💔😭😭

angie

Cortis dance practice??, or Katseye

Alisse Rhodes

OMG Carter is wearing his most peak top

Ava Marie

The life goes on my makes me tear up every time. I love it so much. So uplifting and endearing.

G. A

the random songs line up is killing me hahahaha. thx so muc guys for he early drop!

E L

life goes on is like my comfort song🥹

lelya

yes! life goes still comfort me, not just about covid

G. A

hope we get to rewatch with u CORTIS and AESPA in lollapalooza nexttt

E L

jungkook lines in my universe is my absolute favorite. he sounds so good! thats a main pop boy right there

cyane davis

Guys really, the last 2 songs even bts is like we can pass on. There are so many songs that ppl have suggested since the beginning

Sunny

Thank you guys!! I don’t care what people say, you guys are absolutely right about the role those songs played for so many of us at the time. Do they have better songs? Sure, but they all have their place in history. Thanks for the reaction to new music! 💜 Also the Walmart hour change still drives me crazy! 🤣

E L

u dont know how BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS changed the trajectory of bts career. broooooo like it was a whiplash when they released that song at the time.

E L

hes kinda cute in it tho. hihi

lelya

for bst there also japanese version with some lore

Ashley K

One good change that came from Covid is Target's order pickup/drive-up 👍🏻👍🏻

lemon

I’ve noticed that half of the armys is addicted to misery and whining, which is why they panic whenever someone listens to "PTD." Not every bts song has to be deep sometimes a bit of simplicity and fun is fine it’s part of who bts are. no one is obligated to like it but sometimes you just need to keep quiet and let others discover the musical diversity of bts

Mary

For real, I was pretty surprised, LOL. But, I agree, I'd definitely suggest "Fire" & "Not Today" as well, I feel like both were such defining songs for BTS early in their career, especially "Fire", IMO.

Mary

For real, LOL. All are bangers, I'm not saying they're not, but, I was anticipating something different, if I'm being entirely honest.

Tivy

Y’all always do the most random stuff it cracks me up lmaooo

Mary

FOR REAL, like I truly really like "PTD", but, they have several songs that I feel are so defining of their sound early on in their career which they didn't pick, for now. But regardless, hopefully, we'll get reactions to songs like "Fire", "Not Today", "Save Me", "I Need U" & "Danger" in the next reaction to BTS's songs, this was still great, regardless.

Kaja Toroń

I’d love to see your reaction to the BTS *Speak Yourself* tour concert from 2019—it’s my favorite tour!

Jo

I’m so glad we’re past dropping vids at 2am ( for me at least)😅

Nanami's Wife

Im glad Cannon said "have we heard from Jin yet?" because he's right. He barely got any lines in 'Blood Sweat & Tears' unfortunately. He only sang the last part of the 3rd verse with Jimin (which is 1-2 lines...). I guess they made it up for it with making Jin the main character of the music video

Totaa

AND RUN BTS DANCE PRACTICE , FIRE

020125

thanks for the reaction! 💜

Nanami's Wife

Also Jin is a HUGE fan of Coldplay. I think there's a clip of him meeting Coldplay and he was so nervous. He was having a fan freak out moment😭😭

ana

I love PTD 🙌🏼🙌🏼💜

Isabela Garcia

I loved it!!! It's always a pleasure to see people appreciating the covid songs. As always, BTS found a way to help us to get through that period!!!

Mercy

Yes 🥹🥹🥹

Cata

Please react to an episode of Run BTS, one of the newer ones that are more fun. 💜✨️

patricia jimjimcherie

Now you need to react to all of Wings with the solo performances and the lyrics

kate

3:09 oh you have no idea mckay 🙏 jimin was another level of iconic this era

patricia jimjimcherie

Also! Please watch the video of the making of My Universe! It’s so good!

S Moonchild⁷

Blood Sweat & Tears ended careers. It also ended my life by sucking me into BTS.

Nanami's Wife

That reminds me of that 'are you sure?' episode when he cut his hair before him shooting standing next to you with usher😭😭 Yeah, I hatedddd Jungkook's PTD hair like sir 😭

bonnie_r

Oh I remember when Level of Concern dropped, that's crazy.. yeah, those were crazy times. Music was very uplifting that year.

Mimi

I will never understand the ptd hate!

daisy o

loves these life goes on is m y song. Please do Cyphers soon and some eay rap /hip hop BTS.

Mimi

Fun fact! Jk directed the life goes on MV

krystin-02

wow they really didn’t like the song that had all the kpop groups sweating back in a day 😂

Mira

Very random lineup 😂 all bangers tho. ‘Spring Day’ & ‘Run BTS’ next pls! (Run bts has no MV but they have legendary dance practice)

gm ‘777

blood sweat and tears had the kpop industry gagged

S Moonchild⁷

Not confirmed, but Army thinks BTS doesn't like Permission to dance. They always make a face when it comes up in DJ random song. There is a 12 minute documentary video of Coldplay x BTS collab, it explains their warm relationship, worth watching. Blood Sweat & Tears is inspired by book Demian, about growing up and temptations of adulthood. Video has a lot of mythical and Biblical references. All art work is related to angels, temptations (Icarus's story) and sealing it with a Kiss with a Devil. And showing that Tae was the tempter all along. There are statues of angels and demons in the museum. Museum is a set.

Elmo

That’s thanks to the magic of pre-recording!

Angela González

Wow, it would be amazing if they reacted to "Run, Save Me, I Need You." BTS's "BU," which is the story told through their videos, is fantastic. As a fun fact, in the song "Permission to Dance," they use three sign language symbols during the dance which mean "fun," "dance," and "peace." Regarding "Life Goes On," the video was directed by Jungkook and filmed in the boys' dorms at that time. The song "Blood, Sweat & Tears" is based on the novel "Demian" by Herman Hasse, and they used it to address the temptations young people face at that age, the difference between good and evil. Well, it's a bit deeper than I'm explaining, but it's so cool!!

Noha⁷

I have such a love hate relationship w coldplay. We kept having to sing their songs in school assembly so I found them annoying as hell. But I like them now though lol

SyanTsag

Thank you for the reaction! 😊 If you enjoy it, please consider checking out the dance practice as well - MV + dance practice + live performance really shows the full charm of the songs! But of course, no pressure. Thanks again for your content! 🙌

Elmo

Permission to Dance is an anagram of “Stories on COVID” (that’s why they were showing the newspaper). I believe it was written by Ed Sheeran just by memory.

Elmo

That’s so cute lol

AA

YESS

Nancy Roslyn

Yeah you guys definitely need to react to “we are bulletproof pt2” like maybe 3 in 1 vids of mv, dp and live would be better

Nancy Roslyn

I need u, run, spring day, just one day, N.O are some of my favs mv, live and dp

Sabrina99

Blood, sweat and tears is actually what got me into bts and K-pop in general in 2016….all because of the teens react YouTube video haha

Noha⁷

Jimin opening up blood sweat and tears is so iconic. It's gonna get me every time

noor

blood sweat and the kpop industry’s tears literally

020125

I recommend checking out some behind the scenes, they are fun to watch and pretty short

Divina Izzard

I would like to recommend the music video " I Need You Girl" the original uncut version. It has a little bit of violence,

alie

Normal mv when

kooskyu

You're so earlyyyy

uriuuu

Fun fact the two female high school students from PTD are actually Minji and Hanni from Newjeans, filmed while they were trainees🥹

Sarcaamstic

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO over the PTD slander. Just EW

milkNcookiess

21st Girl Halloween version too!! Would be so fun

noor

PTD my queen anyone who hates her hates happiness that song is pure joy and good vibes

Hyeunrby

No Run BTS dance practice????? Nooooooooooooo

noor

i love how they decided to instead of dropping something depressing during the pandemic they instead focused on comfort and joy knowing they have the influence they do, life goes on was so comforting when it came out

kooskyu

I love PTD❤️‍🩹 the positivity of the song really got me through those difficult times

noor

they filmed that last part in the life goes on mv after their online concert in 2020 so it was obviously empty, and I remember they would always go live and try to say comforting things and do fun activities during the pandemic but at the end of that concert jimin completely broke down during his speech, which doesn’t happen often, so yeah they were also going through it like everyone else but trying to send positive energy regardless

Carter D. Andrus

I love it but we’re not gonna do an album a week😂

Maryam Fall

You guys should also checkout the documentary of the making of my universe

kooskyu

Blood, Sweat & Tears is the forst bts song I've heard because of a roommate who's a fan. I adore the collab of My Universe with Chris Martin. The start of a genuine friendship. Please please watch the documentary of the making. PTD, i love that song. Nothing can ever make me hate herrr. Life goes on (the whole BE album) is on my top list cause they made the album themselves and it's the first MV JK directed. Thank you so much, Geks! Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Nicol

Blood sweet and tears and in general the whole era of the album Wings is a masterpiece in every sense of the word it was a before and after for the BTS career.

Mira

^

Mrym __

We need bts universe

m-flo

what is it about I NEED U SAVE ME RUN SPRING DAY that makes every reactors want to never touch them 😭

rara

this somg lineup you’ll only see and hear on jungkook’s live 😭 THANK U GUYSSSSS !

elvira l

more b-sides plssss yall have literally only scratched the surface ! btw jungkook directed the life goes on mv

elvira l

the wings album was my first comeback as an army and it's still sooo fucking GOATED 😩

Jessica

I respect you opinion. Having blood sweat & tears be last in your ranking is just a bit shocking. lol it’s such an important song for their career, to army, to the BU. But all BTS songs are wonderful so you can’t go wrong.

alicia

I recommend watching the bts my universe documentary about the making of the song! It’s on YouTube and it’s only around 12 minutes!

Sokha637

Highly recommend you guys to watch the documentary Coplay and BTS together 💜💜💜

Nyx

can we have more live reactions pls

corLeonis

Tbh, i love this random song reaction, no expectations, just genuine first reaction on the aesthetics of the MVs and talks of the meaning after.

corLeonis

Hope you could check out the behind the scenes or making of the my universe

onlybts

It would be great if you could react to live performances too

H

This is such a random grouping of songs 🤣.

Sokha637

I love permission to dance im happy then you guys did too 🤗🤗🤗🤗

kika

The COVID-era songs are crazy because the production was so limited lol. I'll admit that PTD is lower on my list (lol sorry) but it is all good vibes. It took me a while to like BST in terms of sound, but the meaning behind it (and the entire album) is a crazy deep cut into psychology and psychological novels lol. And you all rewatching Hot Ones now that you know them better is a great idea. It just makes it funnier hahaha 😂

Samookie

The album wings album so Blood sweat and tears was inspired by the Hermann Hesse's coming of age novel, "Demian", the concept album thematically deals with temptation, growth and losing innocence and many more !

Geev

Life goes on & PTD 🥹

Snooze

I love how y'all picked up the one single flaw my queen blood sweat and tears has and that is jin's lines. He literally has just 1 single line in the entire song and same goes for not today. But I'm happy that they changed the line distribution for not today for the arirang tour. Also I find it extremely funny how your song tastes are completely opposite of general army consensus because a lot of armys do not like the English trio by bts(dynamite, butter and permission to dance) but blood sweat and tears is like a fan favourite. It's THE iconic song that made them one of the top groups in korea at the time, made them nominated for billboard, and fucking ended some other group's careers. Like it's THAT song. And life goes on is an iconic song because it's the first non-english song to debut at no. 1 on billboard hot 100. My universe is a really fun song but I like it better live. Lastly I wish you listened to our suggestions of reacting to songs that you're gonna hear in the upcoming rise of bangtan episodes because their music videos are really important. I Need U is the song that kept the group going. It was their last attempt after dark and wild's failure and if this failed too, they would've disbanded then. It's the song that gave them their first music show win. It's mv literally shocked the entire industry. But let's hope you're able to react to it before reacting to the rise of bangtan.

Ariane Guimarães

You guys, they are still BigHit (bighit only has 4 artists: Lee Hyun, BTS, TXT and Cortis). Big hit is under Hybe who is a conglomerate of many labels, Pledis is Seventeen’s label, Belift is Illit and Enhypen’s, Source music is Le Sserafim’s and so on…

Dittobynewjeans

minji and hanni in the PTD music video💔

Samookie

In the PTD choreography they also added sign language!

Geev

I do miss my becoming army era when learn bts universe 🥹

Geev

Geks they have save me webtoon 👀

Ariane Guimarães

There is a mini documentary on YouTube of BTS and coldplay doing My Universe and meeting for The first time for the recording of The song. Its very wholesome

Snooze

Exactly. They say they read the comments and suggestions(which I think they really do) but then go on to react to things that no one recommended. The same thing happened when they reacted to Jin solos. No one recommended super tuna and they could've reacted to something from his solo albums but they didn't.

Ariane Guimarães

Permission to dance uses sign language in The choreo 🥹💜

Samookie

Life goes on was also directed by Jungkook!

Snooze

Not life goes on. Life goes on is one of their favorites

Geev

Life goes on feels so close to me during COVID 🥺

Mary

Hey GeK’s, this is simply a suggestion, but perhaps for next week, there could be a variety of group’s + BTS, since there are a lot of really talented group’s right now, that I think you’d really like. For example, a lot of 4th generation group’s like “aespa”, who have a futuristic concept, but their songs are really good, honestly. Also, you’ve already listened to “Deja Vu” by TXT, but they truly have a really great discography, with songs like “Run Away”, “Good Boy Gone Bad” & “Sugar Rush Ride”, that I think you’d really enjoy, especially since they’re BTS’s juniors, like CORTIS. Anyways, this is simply a suggestion, I’m really enjoying the weekly BTS content also, regardless 😊.

Geev

Maybe you all like BTS in the soop geks

jemmy

Oh period!!!

bateman bookworm

it would be fun if yall did the title songs chronologically

Snooze

Ik it's a lot but I really think you guys need to find a better way to choose what you'll be reacting to next and what videos should be included in a particular reaction.

Annmarie

Random but great group of videos!! 🫶💜 for behind the scenes I recommend yall to check out more of their documentaries like beyond the Star, bring the soul, break the silence, etc (also bangtan bombs are great) 🤗

jemmy

i'm glad you could see what they were going for in PTD. not a lot of people get it.

jemmy

26:48 Carter you'll love the BE album. It was my fave BTS album before Arirang

jemmy

Life Goes On is my fave BTS title song!

Beth Edwards

Deep down he's been emo since he debuted 😭😭

Beth Edwards

So.. what they're not allowed to choose what they watch now? They're not allowed to like songs that you might not? Lol y'all are ridiculous

Beth Edwards

I feel like they'd really like TXT! I also feel like they'd like CORTIS Lollapalooza! The whole performance was absolutely insaneeee

Mar_inji

Guys there’s a documentary for my universe i suggest you watch🤍

Elmo

Life Goes On was played on the radio. It was the first time I heard one of their Korean songs on the radio in my area.

Gabriela

as soon as i saw silver hair jimin i knew it was over for me

Mel368

Worth watching!

Luz Márquez

not me crying with this video LMFAO life goes on reminded me of covid (of course) but i remember i was so down with my anxiety and depression, they really helped me with this and also permission to dance even tho a lot of people hateee that song, they really tried to make us happy during difficult times <3

Gabriela

react to blood sweat & tears live performance please 😭🙏

Mel368

Hi Cannon. Since you like Coldplay so much, why dont you react to the live performance of the Astronaut, a Jin-Coldplay collab. We’ve been requesting for it for so long.

Alonna Smith

I hope you guys watch the my universe documentary with bts 🥹💕

G. A

thanks guys. now I'm in my friday night missing buff tennis ball mullet cut hair Namjoon hahahahahahahaha. Also, emo cowboy jk and platinum hobi looking like gojo hahahaha. They need to include for next reactions the runway they did for LV so they can rate their fits

G. A

me again. Hope we get to see the bangtanBombs on their BantanTv channel (short videos or behind the scenes of some performaces they've done) I know is a lot, since they are rlly short videos could be on a random saturday. LY guys, tnx once again for reacting to the boys

taiyaki hoshi

bts are still under big hit but they’re also under hybe because hybe owns big hit (hybe is big hit/bts)

Yazzzz

🪄

Great video ! Hoping for run bts mini field day next poll

patricia jimjimcherie

Life Goes On and the whole BE album is the album that pushed me through the pandemic. Like you have no idea how much this song and album meant to me. I was gonna go to the Chicago concert in 2020 and it got cancelled so it was super sad, but now I’m seeing them on October 10th in my own country with my mom who is a 67 yo army.

Ana

I need dance practices now lol. And one word for blood sweat and tears: JIMINSHIIIII 😩

Cutae

I rly loved PTD 😭😭 it was on repeat when I wasn’t an army..

Ana

Can you guys please react to mama 2016 I beg 😭😩

bowie is tired

Did yall actually get these suggested or did u just pick at random 😭

Ana

Cannon finally got Coldplay and BTS I been waiting for this lol. I love all these songs BTS rarely has a bad song to me lol it’s like maybe 3-5 songs I’ll skip lol. Great reaction

Suria Naimahbi

I hope u all watching 3member full concert. Suga Concert D-Day, Jin seok jin concert n jhope Hobipalooza 2022(Rock star) lollapalooza Berlin 2025( Superstar) ,Hope on the stange (Superstar streets dancer) they have so insane so different . Sorry my English not my first language.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Honey⑦

Yeah it is called a suggestion. You can do it in ur pace but if you are gonna do songs, doing it in albums makes more sense. They are musicians so ofc, their music comes first. Everything else is supplementary.

Swapna

Weird choices of song, but since you enjoyed them it's really cool. Although it'll be a great if you explore a little bit more before selecting the song line-ups, since old MVs are tied up with the theme, music & BU. These singles are cool but it doesn't necessarily show the whole Bangtan artistry imo.

allure.

Thanks for the vid geksss

yami

Suga does actually play the piano!! A lot of the members are versatile in playing instruments! ALSO!! fun fact : Jungkook directed the “life goes on” MV!!!

020125

yeah, he even has a song called first love dedicated to his first ever musical interest which was a piano 💜 it’s part of the wings album (blood, sweat and tears era)

020125

watch mma 2020 you guys have listened to every song they performed now 💜 (btw suga won’t be in it since he had just gotten his shoulder surgery)

Honey⑦

Jin had really less lines early in the days(except in vocal line songs). I could guess the reasons but we'll leave that. Slowly, he started getting more lines. But yeah,if u see their earlier works, they r less.

Honey⑦

I think the choreo will do it for them😌 It kills in the concerts!

NOELIA

RUN Bts , Silver Spoon ,Anpanman Not today songs BTS

Alayna

my least favorite BTS songs minus Blood Sweet and Tears lol.

Aaliyah Contreras

We need save me, just one day, danger, and no next please!!

sibbb

cannon i LOVEEEE jungkook and will not take any slander but omg i have to agree that emo haircut was NOT IT LOLLLL

sibbb

you guys HAVE to watch the my universe docu its ONLY 12 minutes its so cool how they came together to make this song

Britt⁷

There’s so much lore during the blood sweat and tears era. It’s too early in your BTS journey to delve into it lol

Britt⁷

You should watch the behind the scenes/ documentary of my universe with Coldplay

Dagny

Oh this was good….would’ve been better if they also had the dance practice and/or behind the scenes for the songs they picked. Like Life Goes On filmed in their dorm, the goofiness of V and Jin especially in PTD, the intricacies in filming Blood, Sweat and Tears, the dance, the collaboration when Chris Martin went to Korea to meet and record My Universe with them….. so many memorable gems….. ☺️😎💜

Angela González

Guys, there's an interview I'd like you to react to in the future with BTS. It was done in 2021 and you can find it on YouTube as Let's BTS. It's really good.

Ana Raquel

PTD and Life goes are songs that really helped us get through that difficult time. I'm very happy that you liked them. 💜

bee

& Just One Day, too!

Nikita

I was thinking the same when watching.

Nikita

Have you guys ever considered that maybe these are the songs that interested them? They don't HAVE TO only go by what we suggest. Let them choose what they want.

Nikita

You guys had the speed limit increased? Whaaaat? Haha

tangerine⁷

Life goes on gave the flashback. Its a piece of my ❤️

tangerine⁷

Please react to attack on bangtan Live japan one

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

I just want to know logic behind their choice. Or if it random at all

lex

Blood sweat and tears started bts domination. a funeral song to some kpop groups (no hate) 🫡✨

AllyLee

Jin has solo parts in Blood Sweat and Tears guy... just because he wasnt on screen in the MV at that point doesnt mean he didnt sing ^^ maybe include live performances in the future after the MV that way you really see who sings what part of the songs :)

Snooze

He has one line in the entire song btw

E L

I swear what the boys like are the songs that are low on my ranking. like howww😆😆

Puiling Yip

Blood Sweat & Tear Jimin's voice fits into the vibe so much

Miha Cojocaru

You guys do know that in many countries masks are normal, people were using them years before COVID and continue to use them. Because they are actually useful in preventing germs from spreading. You'll see many BTS behind the scenes videos, dance practices where one or more of them are using masks. And I am sure western artists use them as well. I hoped that COVID would normalise a bit the idea of using them, but it didn't really happen, at least not in my country.

evi

If you're interested, please also watch the behind the scenes stuff to really see how crazy their music videos truly are. Most of the sets they build for music videos are actually insane.

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

Carter’s disgusted face at 7:13 sent me😅 He looked so confused haha But to be honest, that kissing-the-statue moment has always been so cringe to me that I can barely watch it. I love the song and the music video, but that part... I just can't handle the secondhand embarrassment 🙈

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

"Permission to Dance" is one of their weakest songs for me (at least among their biggest hits). Sorry not sorry 😅 And yes, RM’s hair in that music video was CRAZY! "Life Goes On," on the other hand, is one of my favorites! It has such beautiful lyrics and such a comforting vibe. And the melody is an absolute jam!

020125

guys if you guys wanna see more of what goes behind their concerts they just posted a 40 minute sketch of part 1 of North America concerts, definitely worth the watch plus you guys haven’t checked out behind content 💜💜💜 https://youtu.be/HDu9XC9xiJs?is=i2fd68ze7-k8OqwS

Emrataaa

moonchild

You guys should do polls for which songs to react to 😭 cuz these are so random I'm ngl. Bangers tho

Melanie Nissen

love the video!! also BTS recently released a ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN NORTH AMERICA Part 1 Sketch’ on their BANGTANTV channel! if you guys were interested in seeing them backstage during the tour i would recommend you watch it in your free time or you could react!

Melanie Nissen

also guys please ignore some of the comments! when i first got into bts my journey was kinda random and i discovered things myself and it was fun that way. just keep doing what feels right and is fun for ya’ll, there is no correct way to enjoy bts and their content and music!

mo ♡

please consider reacting to 'i need u' and 'run'!! the hyyh era is my fav <33

R.Az

Do their songs: Anpanman comeback stage + 21st century girl comeback stage + not today

Tivy

‘Blood Sweat & Tears’ is easily the best out of all of these in my opinion, though ‘PTD’ and ‘Life Goes On’ I know helped a lot of people go through a difficult time. All bangers!

Elmo

Yall should react to Go Go Halloween Dance practice closer to Halloween. They do all the Fortnite dances that were popular at the time!.

Jihan T

You can do it once a month, I don't think the "one album a week" part was the meat of their suggestion lol

Honey⑦

Idk I love when someone is willing to listen to BTS and I get that emotions dont come across thru texts and everyone is diff bla bla but i just get sad whenever they reply like that😶I get its not that serious but it made me sad, even for a min. Why so rude? I wasnt going to say anything but thank you for commenting this. I just think I m not made for this channel. These passive aggressive comments get me idk. Its happened once before too. I just sometimes suggest things, ofc i canr force them but this is a paid channel. Idk m not used to creators talking like this ig. And it wasnt bad or anything, i think m just being sensitive. Wdym you cant reply with a simple, "we will try, ofc we would want to react to albums". I just am an overthinker and way too polite ig. M sorry for ranting lol.

Tiisetso Maduna

Covid really did a number on our 24hrs favs 😭😭 . Thanks for the reaction and I'm glad you guys enjoyed these. What I love about BTS is seeing the songs live always change the ranks from your first ranking lol 🫶

Liyan

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gabriela

React to Blood Sweat & Tears DANCE PRACTICE pls

gm ‘777

guys BTS just posted the sketch of the north América part 1 concerts. please react to it! I think you’d really enjoy it

Honey

Save me MV Idol MV with explanation And Run bts episodes And Bon Voyage episodes

Jihan T

No you're right. It was rude how he reduced your entire comment to that offhand and harmless suggestion and just went "haha that's not happening". Like have some tact, he could've just said "one album a week is not feasible for us but we will try to go through their albums as soon as possible", that way he's not committing to anything but also not making you feel bad about suggesting what you wanna see on a channel you pay a subscription for.

Aparna

'Life goes on' was actually filmed in their shared dorm at the time.

Aya

For next week can you please react to the new vid behind the scenes vid of the concert it’s called the BTS world tour Arirang in North America part 1 sketch!!💜💜

Tabii🪷

I need some yall mf army’s to shut tf and let ppl listen and love ptd in peace talking but some “it’s banger but” like genuinely read the room. it’s a good ass song so ofc ppl are gonna love it.y’all always in reactors comments downplaying it even when they love it. i’ve rarely seen any new army’s who hate it except for y’all 😭😭

eli hernandez

we need to get into the bangtan mv storyline for the storytelling, bs&t gives us a small taste of how cool their mv storylines are 🙏

justin Asiegbu

Hey y’all I was just thinking since yall have watched one of the ARIRANG concerts, you can also watch all the concert and comeback sketches. They dropped a new one today too.

Avery Froid

Literally, I want them to react to N.O so bad

Ayo Bee

Also directed by Jungkook!

Ayo Bee

the first time I put on the mv, it truly was a jump scare. Why, jk, why?

Ayo Bee

Yayy! BTS mv timeee. My personal faves are Spring Day and Idol but those would be best with explanation videos. Your Eyes Tell, Heartbeat, Run BTS, Louder than Bombs, House oof Cards, The Truth Untold, and also some other BTS solo songs, hopefully 3 new ones for each member and live ones for ones you already listened to (i.e. Serendipity and Filter) and a bunch more.

Ayo Bee

Unpopular opinion: I loved Namjoon's hair! Don't @ me. But I won't defend JK. They were out to get him with his opening haircut. Giving 90s goth.

Honey⑦

Yess, thank you for validating me! That means a lot. Atleast m not imagining things alone. I'll think of where to go from here. I dont think any reaction is greater than peace of mind. Its futile to waste money on someone who cant even reply politely. Thats just me. But, u, thank u.

I’ve noticed cannon takes a liking to their English songs more 😭😭😭

Calvin Siebel

Oh you should try watching bangtan bomb on yt the behind the scene! Permission to dance was so fun! Just watching them play and dance

Jo

I hope we get some other groups on the new poll. As much as I love bts, there’s like 40+ vids for them and only about 2-3 vids for some of the other groups. And I get that y’all said bts is priority but c’mon that’s a GAP😅

🪄

Hoping for more interviews and tour sketches

I’m Maya

React to stray kids plssss

They should 100% watch some sketches😊

Nanami's Wife

Bro I just found they took down the Carpool James Corden BTS video and the crosswalks with James Corden. I wanted you guys to react to that so badddd😭 I’m sure there’s a video on YouTube that is still able to show it

Jo

NOOO I wanted them to watch that tooo😩😩 they need to see the roots of papa mochi. Hopefully there’s a re upload

Gabriela

cortis dance practices next poll please 🙏

Gabriela

we need blood sweat & tears dance practice and live performance too 😭

kate

no genuinely 😭 and the geks loved it so i think that's ultimately what matters as to what they react to

Magdalene Yeboah

Can you react to Love yourself Tear album? It's my fave one after arirang :)

Tabii🪷

i’ve never seen in my life “fans” who downplays an artists songs so bad the way yall do with ptd and so bad want for everyone to think the same. who cares if they like it better then other song? “it’s not really who bts is” shut up every bts song is a bts song it’s that simple

Tiisetso Maduna

For some very odd reason there's always a ton of random negative or downing comments in this community 😩... all of these songs are BTS Songs. For the guys to have an amazing journey going through things, being able to imagine what certain songs felt like for people in those eras is part of it. So there's no bad selection they getting to know more songs and that's okay and if they enjoy songs like ptd more that's also okay it's about taste .. I hope with time there can be less weird complaints and a healthier more fun time can be had so they can also enjoy themselves and not feel like they can't say certain things or watch certain videos . It's okay to point certain stuff out but being nice also costs nothing .. 🥺🫶

Aya

Right it’s such a fun song

When are the polls usually posted?

Suttin More

BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS (BST): There are a lot of comments so I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this but this MV and song were heavily inspired by the novel Damien (author is Hermann Hesse). FUN FACT: The sales of this book skyrocketed when BST and WINGS (which is the album BST is from) came out and the boys explained the connection MY UNIVERSE: This was a project that took place during COVID and got BTS and Coldplay to FINALLY MEET for the first time when Chris went to SK. FUN FACT: There is a whole documentary about this meeting which I think you should react to. It's funny because even thought they were holograms in the MV, they actually met in person to make this happen. We love Coldplay in the fandom 💜. PERMISSOIN TO DANCE (PTD): There are so many stories from this particular era, which are you correctly pointed out is from the Butter Era (tho this is also the period that had the boys kinda question "where are we going headed to now? ..." so kinda deep but you'll understand when you watch the FESTA 2022 DINNER ...). FUN FACT: Elton John actually gave them a shout out and Ryan Goslin wore the same outfit as Jimin when he filmed Barbie and there were a few interaction with Jimin which also involved Jimin receiving a guitar from Ryan 😂 LIFE GOES ON (LGO): Where Dynamite was a fun way to face the pandemic, LGO was kinda the "real" way the boys were going about it. They missed performing, they missed ARMY, they missed life, but life did go on regardless of how they felt. FUN FACT: This video was directed by Jungkook, and basically marked his OFFICIAL directorial debut 😎 (at some point we will hopefully see you react to his Golden Closet Videos). PS - Life Goes On was around the time I felt really fully ARMY and I got to go back to work, but it was only me as we had to let everyone else go (end 2020). I'd spend my whole 8 hours listening to BTS and when this song would come on, I'd stop and think of how we were going to get everyone back. 2026; We got everyone back ☺️.

Ran Yus

I just hope they react to their old albums

Irene Priska

It’d be cool if you guys can react to their MVs behind the scenes, any MV is cool. Oh and also, Spring Day MV explanation would make a great watch. ❤️

lelya

ty for these songs!

Sydney

In case you didn’t know, some of the dance choreo in Permission to Dance incorporates sign language 🤟🏻 and the Life Goes On music video was directed by Jungkook 💜

Starzlix

jungkook directed the "life goes on" music video!! The BE album is probably my fav of theirs, they were heavily involved in every aspect of this era, from music production to photoshoots, even the crafting of the physical copies themselves! It's a special one

Amber Wilmot

IF THEY DO THE SONG ‘SPRING DAY’ THEY NEED TO DO THE EXPLANATION VIDEO ALONG WITH IT THEY NEED TO WATCH EXPLANATION VIDEO OC SPRING DAY AFTER SPRING DAY MUSIC VIDEO!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU 🙏🏽😊💜💜💜

LMAO you’re not wrong

Anpanman⁷

The blood sweat & tears set was built for the mv.

Cassidy

was NOT expecting to shed tears to permission to dance today, but here we are😭 for reference, i am a covid army and was introduced to bts and their music during lock down, and i’ve been hooked ever since. i was able to see them during their permission to dance tour in las vegas in 2022, and the last song they performed was..you guessed it..permission to dance! so now this song has the hilarious ability to make me sob on command, which i find so ironic given its uplifting vibes and message. thanks for transporting me back to that time geks! always grateful for the reactions🫶🏻

Cassidy

she had no idea she’d be changed forever !!

Cassidy

absolutely agree!! makes me sob EVERY TIME

Cassidy

i love the idea of reacting to a few key songs that align with rise of bangtan!! it’s way easier to digest than full album listens, but still lets the geks hear the music from the era being shown in the series. great suggestion!!

Cassidy

i feel the same!! it has a very special place in my heart

Cassidy

love yourself tear will always have my entire heart

Hanah

wish you guys look up the lyrics when you don't understand

Nanci

Wings is a masterpiece album based on the 1919 novel Demian by Hermann Hesse, which is a coming-of-age story about a young man name Emil Sinclair, told utilizing Jungian psychology and German Swiss existentialism. The whole album, and this song, are about growing up. A key factor in the process of growing up is leaving the innocence of childhood behind. The story is about how in order to grow up, one must accept that there is darkness in the world, and within oneself and growing up means embracing that as part of yourself and the world. It's the loss of innocence. This doesn't make us, or the world, evil, but it can be seen that way to one who lacks the ability to understand and accept that both ourselves and the world are made up of a balance of light and dark. Without one, the other is meaningless. Jin is the main character, like Emil, struggling to resist the darkness within himself. The other members are paired off in sets of two, with one older member as a mentor/tempter or gatekeeper and one younger member as a mentee. Rather than a struggle between good and evil, which I feel is an oversimplification, this song and album really are depicting a struggle between innocence and worldliness, ignorance and knowledge. It is the struggle of growing up that you have your heart broken by the darkness in the world and within yourself, but you also find greater depths of love, hope and creative expression in the world and in yourself in the process. You have to embrace the complexities of the world and yourself. There are many symbols in the MV of innocence (sling shot, swing, lollipop, bicycle, balloon, etc) and also of ignorance vs the temptations of knowledge (blindfold, being tied, absinthe, smoke, apples, a book, Icarus, etc) as well as a dichotomy of choice illustrated in things like the black and white doorways as well as art and statuary depicting heroes and monsters, purity and flaw. There are references to Eden, Fallen Angels and Icarus, all of which are stories about the seeking of knowledge leading to a fall from innocence. There is a seduction taking place here, which is why the MV and the choreography are sexy and seductive. It is the guys themselves who are being seduced by the shadows of the world and by their own shadows. In the end, Jin realizes he has to grow up and he chooses to self-actualize and leave childhood behind by embracing the statue of Abraxas, the god of both light and darkness, a god of balance. Abraxas is a figure from the novel Demian, a Greek Gnostic Archon whose origins lie shrouded in history but perhaps spring from ancient Egypt. The kiss also echoes a scene in Demian, where Emil Sinclair receives a symbolic kiss from his complex mentor and tempter figure, Demian, just before Demian vanishes, revealing himself to have never truly existed but to have been a part of Emil himself. Given that, Abraxis in the MV represents Jin himself in a state of balance of light and dark, just as Demian was really Sinclair all along. Rather than choose between good and evil, Jin embraces his own duality in embracing Abraxis and chooses to self-actualize into adulthood. He chooses to grow up and let go of his childish innocence and ignorance. Jin's choice is also seen in him letting go of the balloon symbolizing childhood while RM recites a quote from Demian. The organ music Suga plays is also referenced from Demian. Once Jin makes this choice, we see colors bursting forth as his world becomes more complex and he becomes capable of more creative expression through the richness of his inner world and perceptions. Colors burst forth as creativity is unleashed. Others also choose to embrace their own colors and knowledge and to leave childhood and the innocence of ignorance behind. V leaps/falls as an angel and loses his wings, Jimin takes off his blindfold, Jungkook falls as Icarus when he is shown suspended in air with feathers floating around him and he is seen sprawled on the bed in the room with the green smoke. At the end, above the mirror we see a quote in German by existential philosopher Nietzsche which translates as: "One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to the dancing star" Meaning one must embrace the chaos, the duality within, to become a fully realized person who is capable of creation, of art and of full reason. The constant struggle within to keep that balance is the friction that gives rise to the spark of creative inspiration, the fire in the soul. Jin reflects (literally in the mirror) on his choice, and he begins to hatch like an egg as the shell of his childhood falls away and his new self prepares to be born. He looks pensive because it is melancholy to leave childhood behind, but necessary in order to grow up. This "world egg" is also a theme in Demian. BTS are world renowned for the depth and complexity of their lyricism and storytelling and their complex multi-lingual word play. For instance, it is not a coincidence that the refrain of "I want more more more more" in Korean sounds like "money, money, money" in English. They are talking about the temptations of the wider adult world after all. The supernatural mystery story which runs through BTS work called the Bangtan Universe / BU, which is told in clues given in various multi-media such as: lyrics, MV visuals, short films, their webtoons, books, album notes, their mobile game BTS World and more, is also reflected in the BS&T MV. There is even a KDrama based on the BU now called Begins ≠ Youth.

Nanci

JK directed the "Life Goes On" MV and they filmed it in their actual home. The bedroom scene where they are all on the beds is Jimin and j-hope's room.

Mel368

He was given the main character role so sadly less line.
