So beautiful! Thank you so much for the in-depth explanation. I love this. And thank you for being there with them in their time of need. I am baby army and only wish I could have found them earlier.

Monica Chavez

I love guy's, I love this song, and I love this moment 💜

Kathy Nguyen

alright. im here. ready to cry again.

Drew Hester

The outside world is scary. More now than ever. This song. This reaction. This is a ray of light in that darkness, and I couldn't be more proud for that light to be purple. 💜💜💜

Della Lucas

Beautiful reaction guys 💜. The part with the whale has to do with their song Whalien 52 and how this is the most lonely creature in the world. If you can please listen to it I feel like not enough people know about this song

Sharkie Miles

Thank you Nico Blaze and Adam 💜

Gina Wikitera

Not only was this a powerful MV your guys korero (talk-Maori language) made it that much more powerful! I have been waiting for your reaction and it honestly gave me goosebumps watching this with you guys. So many emotions watching this MV but it couldn’t have been any more perfect. When they’re on the pedestal with their mics.. I’m sure that’s Born Singer, which is one of my absolute favourite songs and it speaks volumes to me. With everything going on in the world as you said .. this is 4 minutes of peace and appreciation. Thank you guys once again.

Mari

You guys brought tears to my eyes, what a great reaction and great words. I hope you guys are doing as okay as you can be through everything going on right now. This song is so beautiful, and BTS casts a light we can all stand under together.

Kimberly Patcheak

Honestly the first time I heard this song I got chills and everytime since it continues. I honestly was not sure if this release was going to be a video but was hopeful. The messages within this video is soo beautiful and yet leaves me in tears by the end. Also, as an explanation I got this from another comment in other reaction videos I have she describes this so well that I had to share! there's so many hidden things for veteran Army 😭 - the intro with the blue bighit logo (their old one was orange with blue background) - it then turning into the wall of their old dance practice studio and Joon wearing his Boy With Luv outfit confronting his debut days self in a "Reflection" - Jungkook walking down the street of the No More Dream MV in their debut stage outfit - him turning into Tae walking into the We Are Bulletproof pt 2 MV and the glasses being sh0t or punched off is actually his part in the No More Dream choreo - it then turns into Hobi who walks into the N.O MV - it then turns into Jin walking down an empty hallway in the Boy In Luv MV - which then turns into the set of Danger with Jimin walking in his We Are Bulletproof pt 2 outfit - the thorny monster arms, shattering glass, everything falling to pieces and the "black ocean" (fandoms joined forces to not have their lightsticks on during an award show to show their disliking of BTS) are all the hate, antis, defamation and other things they have faced - Namjoon falling into a big dark ocean hit me especially hard, cuz he was a very (I don't wanna say depressed but he literally has a therapist and I think all the hate did cause him mental pain) sad person for a while. It shows a lot in his fashion back then (all black), his studio set up (all black), his earnest demeanor and his first mixtape (and also his 2nd where he finally let go) - the shattered shards chasing Yoongi in his I Need U outfit also hits hard, cuz around that era, when they first won on a music show the hate got really bad (when they were accused of copying other groups and bulk buying albums etc. cuz they won first place) - the small amount of purple lights who help Joon resurface of course being the veteran Army who stood by them when they had no one else (most peers/idols looked down on them, so did their fans and especially the industry and companies) - them standing up and the cherry blossoms signifying the Most Beautiful Moment era (that really meant a lot to us and them) really hit me, especially when it turned into Joon walking towards "us" in the Young Forever MV set with the other 6 😭 - they then all run through the I Need U, Run, Blood Sweat and Tears and Not Today MVs in their Run/Fire era hairstyles but debut outfits signifying that they stayed the same humble guys - they run towards the Spring Day MV tree and sit in a bonfire circle from the I Need U MV but they're wearing their Wings Tour Final concert outfits - and here is where it gets really painful ✋😭: - the whale is a reference to the song Whalien 52 which is a whale no one can hear in the ocean so he is alone, but he carries the boys into heaven aka the stage and Army (the purple glowy things) are their galaxy - the Army galaxy turns into the shape of a concert hall/stadium that resembles Wembley and the way they're standing away from each other on stage suggests it's the "Born Singer" performance - they then stand together on stage, Hobi holding a MAMA award and all of them crying: it's a combination of their ending speech from the Wings Final concert that was very very heartfelt (Joon's "lessen your pain from 99 to 98 etc." being quoted a lot from that day) AND the 2018 MAMA speech when Hobi cried and they confessed they almost disbanded - the stage extending to the Army logo which then turns into the Bangtan logo meaning we're one and they have us and we have them ("we are not 7 with you") - it ending with cherry blossom petals and Boy With Luv outfits meaning they're happy now and some people said it stopped there cuz they didn't have the chance to be with us during the Map of the Soul 7 era yet and cuz BWL was a very happy time for them (many awards won, lots of achievements, the guys being a lot more happy and content with themselves) Overall a very very heartfelt MV and it made me cry cuz I witnessed it all over the past 7 years and them dropping it on the day their first MV debuted and people ridiculed them for their style etc really hit different Something I read on twitter that rings very true - they take a rest in the Spring Day MV cuz they thought this era was their limit only to be picked up by the whale/us and brought to even higher highs and the biggest stage.

Rebecca Beebe

The whale is from the song Whalien 52 which was inspired by a blue whale who sings at a higher frequency then any every other whale they believe him to be an undiscovered species or a mutated blue whale he is the only one of his kind making him the loneliest creature in the world, so in the video they were riding the whale up alone until they met ARMY, they are not alone no longer only 7...

cuteonnie

You guys have to react to Whalien52 to understand the whale and look up the story behind it! Fun fact: It's my favorite BTS song! It's the one that most resonates most with me and makes me reflect most on my life and my story. Them referencing Whalien here gives a "conclusion" to the story they tell on that song. The presence of the whale in this video really ties into the reason why I love BTS and how them and ARMY comfort me when I feel lost. I'll elaborate later once you have reacted. Sorry for rantinggggg. I HAVE MANY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SONG MAN! I'm getting it tattooed once covid crisis has settled. Anyways, thanks for the great, heartfelt reaction as always 💜 I appreciate you guys sharing your feelings about what has been happening. I hope you feel like you can talk about these things and your hardships with ARMY if you need to, not just spread joy like you usually do. We're here to support you as well. I'm with you guys!!! Stay strong!

Alis

You guys are as much an inspiration through your positivity, kind and wise words and just general awesome attitude as BTS are. I just want to send you the biggest hug and know that ARMY is a family and we stand together even across an ocean. Thank you for your heartfelt words and reaction! You have my love and respect 💜💜💜 Stay strong! 🤗

Stacy

Love you Guys! In a slightly changed saying of the great BTS “ You were only 3! But you have us all now!” Borahae💜

Marcia Noone

First I want to thank all of you for sharing yourselves. As Nico said it is hard to be vulnerable and you three do it with such genuineness it brought me to tears. Thank you. Second - the posts above say it all, but the whale is a big one. Whalien 52 is the song and it explains a lot about the whale, the water RM was falling in. I love this song so much. BTS needs ARMY and ARMY needs BTS

heavenlyonesbts

Some things that you guys may not have caught: 1)The beginning scene was their old practice room where a number of the early dance practices were filmed. 2)On JK & V's shirts you can see For Sale on their sleeves. This was because they were criticized for being sell outs. 3)The black wave symbolizes the black ocean, which happened during an award show when all of the other fans from other groups turned off their lightsticks during BTS's performance. 4)The whale has multiple meanings. First, BTS has a song called Whalien 52 that is about the loneliest whale in the world. You should check it out. Second, Namjoon has talked about whales in various vlives and Army's symbol is a whale. 5)When the whale drops them off at the top of the purple column, they are basically in a circle facing each other and then they turn, similar to what they did in Born Singer. 6)The next scene, where they are arm in arm and crying I believe is in reference to when they won Artist of the Year in MAMA Hong Kong in 2018 and they spoke about how they had talked about disbanding. 7)When the path grows and you see the BTS symbol and then it opens up and turns into the symbol for Army. I'm not sure if you know, but when you combine both symbols it forms a shield. 8)The ending scene is from Boy with Luv. There is speculation that ON is not represented because they have not been able to perform it for Army's at the concerts. I'm sorry for such a long response and tried to be as accurate as I could. I've been Army for almost 2 years now. Your sharing with us at the end was truly appreciated and I hope that with BTS, each other, and us....we can all weather what all is happening in the world.

I’ve been ARMY for little over a year (I think same as you Nico?) and while I periodically say, “gosh what was I doing with my life back then?” I know that our new-ish fan status is just as impactful as if we did start all those years ago. Namjoon even said it during the Festa birthday party video released today, new fans help them grow. So keep saying “WE” because we are alllll ARMY. There are SO many subtleties and references in this video, I myself lean on other ARMY for help. There were some amazing YouTube comments that identified all the referenced videos, and some excellent twitter posts that put side by side screen shots of this video and the ones referenced. For me, I believe that the Whale comes from the song Whalien 52 (which would be an amazing song for you to react to). While that is a story of a lonely whale that no one can hear, now in this video the whale and BTS are no longer alone. They hear each other. They ride together. Minorities -of any group-experience oppression in both subtle and grand ways. Being a minority myself I’m honored to be able witness, and now join, a story such as BTS. I think of them as an example of a fantastic glow up. They experienced oppression and beat down in a different way than my black brothers and sisters, but oppression none the less, for just trying to be themselves and make it in the world. Just like Blaze eluded to, we ALL need to come together to overcome it. You fight for me, I fight for you, and together we are bullet proof. I think AJJ hit the nail on the head by saying we should lean on this song to get us through. I will for sure do that and y’all can lean on me, I know I can lean on you and we will make it through - because we are together. We are bulletproof.

Danny Jurado

You guys are so wise beyond your years. Thanks for sharing those words at the end , all three of you really are the epitome of genuine souls and I will ALWAYS appreciate that. I send my love to you guys and your families, may you all stay safe and healthy during this rough time. Four 4 minutes we can have peace together <3 I stand with you

Tahirah Roe

I'm not ashamed to admit, I cried when I saw the MV. It's a beautiful song and a beautiful testament to how BTS and ARMY feel about each other. This is a heart felt honest re action to the MV and what's happening in the 🌎. Great job guys. 💜💚💜Borahae💜💚💜. BTW: I don't think you've listened to Whalian 52, thats what the what represents.

Jessica Henderson

Yes, the whale refers to Whalian 52 which is another special song to BTS and Army. This video had me in tears...so beautiful and moving😭😭💜💜

whatchagot2say

You are very welcome! And thank you for letting me know about the whale. It’s a MUST we listen to that song now. I’ve been hearing about it for a little while now.

Lux

The significance of the whale - one of their songs (which you guys still need to react to) is Whalien 52. It's the story of a true life whale discovered in the '90s(?) whose cry is 52 hertz, while literally ALL other whales' songs are recorded at a completely different hertz. So it was called the loneliest creature on the planet, who sings out for companionship, and NO OTHER WHALE CAN RESPOND TO HIS CRIES. BTS made a song about the whale, and whales are a recurring theme with BTS. If you recall, Jin's drawing in the Idol music video was of Kore, the whale. During one of the RunBTS season finales, Jin gifted RM (his manito) a kore keychain as well. The whale has a special meaning for them - I'm not sure if ARMY has more than theories of why, but it is a theme that pops up every now and then. In Korean culture, the whale is a symbol for a huge conglomerate - perhaps, in a way, they feel ARMY is BTS' kore - the huge unstoppable force of a support system paving the way to allow them to achieve anything and everything they could ever wish for, which, in the context of the music video, is to literally carry them from where they are, up to the highest reaches, to the biggest stages, to the stars - straight to heaven.

Love you guys so much. Thank you for your raw, powerful words.

Okayyashley

This was incredibly powerful to watch! The three of you are such a light in this world. Thank you for being genuine and honest. As a fellow newer ARMY, you have been on my journey with BTS every step of the way even if you don't know it, and I am so incredibly proud to support and be part of the FAM.

Laura Moore

Can y’all react to BTS song “Whalien 52” soon? I think that will help. It’s really really good. Just before you do, do a quick Wikipedia search on the 52Hz blue whale because that’s what the song is based off of

AJ

Thanks for this one. I'm so thankful for BTS and for you guys. With all that I see going on in the world and in my life it gives me a moment away from the distress I feel with everything. It's a bit of light in this dark world right now. So thanks guys. 💜

Connie Melissa

Thank you,for a truly moving reaction. I have no words. Much like the song itself, this was a gift that I will always appreciate.

Erika Johnson

I love this ending so much because it's really inspirational and real. I grew up with a sociopathic mother that really tore down my self-esteem at every chance she got. When I discovered bts in 2014 they slowly taught me to love myself and care for me. I feel like sometimes me and bts grew as people together. I couldn't get away from my mother because well she's still family, but I found another family in army to help support me, and it's like you guys said, when you're down there are people out there to help support you. For me it's army.

Sully

I got goosebumps the first time I watched this video and again now watching it with you guys! It felt like we were all sharing this moment together! Thank you for sharing your honest reactions with us. 💜

whatchagot2say

Yes! Born Singer! I didn’t make that connection the first time I watched the video but I’m sure of it now. I’m sure I’ll be learning so much from this video through talking with you guys 🤓

whatchagot2say

So glad that you connected with us Mariah 🤓 We are doing okay. Just trying to stay focused on the good we can do. Hope all is well with you too FAM 💜

whatchagot2say

Thank you SO MUCH Luiza! And we will definitely be checking out Whalien52 real soon. It has officially been bumped up the list after this 🤓

lunar_amore

I totally lost it completely at the final wings speech and Hobi crying part.....:(

lunar_amore

proud to be in this rabbit hole with all of you!!!!

Christina Olds

Another thing I noticed is when Suga starts singing his part of the song he is holding his arm. It's a direct reference to when he was still riding motor scooters as a delivery boy when they were trainees and he got hit by a car and ended up on the street against the tire. He injured his shoulder badly but was afraid to tell PD Bang because he might get kicked out of being a trainee. PD Bang ended up paying all his medical expenses. Every now and then in rehearsals and in stage performances you can see Suga favoring his shoulder, often rubbing it or not able to lift it as high as the others. I didn't start crying in the MV up to this point but then the waterworks gushed!!! I'm so happy for you three (and for all of us) that you have joined us on this magical BTS journey. We are all ALIGNED. Love you.

whatchagot2say

Beautifully said! I’m with it. For life FAM 🤓💜

Tanya perez

What you guys said at the end had us up here in tears Fam!!😢 It was so well said and you hit me right in my feelings especially with whats going on today. This simple beautiful little animated video said more than all these superficial ones out today. Love you guys a lot and we are all in this together!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Karen Garson

Here we go again, tears came out with the mv and your words. It makes me happy you guys can find something to lean on while everything is going on outside. 💜

whatchagot2say

I 100% agree. This is the realest video out right now hands down. Glad you connected with us FAM. Much love and be safe 🤓💜💜💜💯

essi

There are too many comments to read, but I'm sure someone explained that the whale is a reference to Whalien 52. I hope you react to it!

Marguerite Engel

OMG. When the alert came over my phone that the MV was up, I teared up. Didn't know what to expect... was it a performance, were they going to talk about it or was it an MV. Then I watched the MV and cried throughout. And now you guys. What you have said just make me tear up again. Your honesty and heartfelt reactions and words are moving more than you know. I am just one of the many on here who appreciate all of you and what you do and so glad you discovered BTS and we discovered you.

Tara 아미_큐티_섹시_러블리

I love this concept! One MV, showcasing their performances and almost all their older MVs! As reference, the clips from their MVs and shows: 0:16 Their old practice room 0:24 No More Dream 0:36 We Are Bulletproof Pt 2 (0:45 Taehyung's glasses during their most epic dance break) 0:50 N.O 1:00 Boy In Luv 1:10 Danger 1:22 bits from Make It Right, also the entire MV animation 1:44 The ocean scene in Butterfly Prologue 2:21 Young Forever 2:33 Run 2:44 Blood Sweat and Tears 2:50 Not Today 2:58 Spring Day 3:04 I Need U 3:19 Heartbeat and also the reference to Whalien 52 3:39 Mikrokosmos background, but the formation is like their Born Singer stage 3:54 Hobi crying during their Wings Tour 4:18 Boy With Luv

Jiya

I had to read through the comments coz there are so so many references in this MV. From their old MVs to real life incidents, I think pretty much all has been covered... Just to add a few more things, -I think the video starts with Joonie coz he was the first to be recruited for the group. -And as some pointed out, their debut outfits have "for sale" written on the sleeve, since they didn't have branded clothed and were mocked so much for it. Many ARMYs used to gift them clothes and accessories and even things like bowls, bedding etc back then. The company was pretty much broke. It is also heartwarming that they still have many of this gifts even now, bowls, beddings, plushies from them are spotted still on their vlives and other clips. - their name, bulletproof, was mocked by the kmedia almost constantly. Calling it presumptous, mocking Bang PDnim, coz it resembles his name 'Bangtan Sonnyeondan"...it's really cringy to watch old variety shows. Joon pointing out that it is set in steel now is such a statement. The SK govt had honored them for everything they have done, they are UN ambassadors for violence against youth. They did own their name and held it high. - Whale - I have to repeat, please check out Whalien 52, maybe read up on the actual whale beforehand. It's sad. - many ARMYs noted that the boys have wings era costume up until the last scene. This could be because they thought wings era was their highest point. (Yeah, imagine that!!) - also, huge props to the animation team. There are so many subtle moments included in this. Like, - Tae's little specs flip in bulletproof:part 2 - Yoongi clutching his shoulder, due to his injury. - Their outfits - MAMA speech from Hobi, them crying, Jin passing a tissue to Yoon... I am sure there are more... Also, another thing is the colours. Many k-pop groups have official colours since debut, BTS didn't. They mostly used black and white. The purple started from a surprise event ARMYs did at a concert, where they covered the then white ARMY bomb with purple cloth bags abd made the first purple ocean. Tae then made up the meaning, saying it means to stay with one another till the end. Everyone knew he made it up, but it just stuck. That's how purple became our colour. This became another long post😅. But, really, thank you. And I am sure this song and MV will hit you harder down the line when you have travelled deeper into this purple rabbit hole. And yes, we are a family. We are bulletproof together. We love you. BTS loves you. Let's stay strong together and walk towards a better world. Happy Festa!! 💜

Cherie St Pierre

Strength in numbers, my friends. Love you guys! 💜

Olivia Pastures

Seriously guys thank you for creating this safe place and community that we can all use to lean on. Everything you guys said at the end is completely true BTS can be used to give us strength to conquer whatever is being thrown at us and what is going on in this world. Thank you for being so open and honest. We purple you! 💜

Regina Marie E

The whale is real! Discovered in 1989, he sang (sings?) at 52 mgh, while other whales sing at 10 to 40, so they literally can't hear him. They equate themselves to this whale. The lyrics to this song will break your heart.

whatchagot2say

Thank you and the rest of the FAM here for making us feel safe enough to be ourselves. There are layers to all of us as people. Sometimes we are afraid to express ourselves or show our true selves due to fear of persecution. But not here. Not with you guys. So it goes both ways and we love you guys for that 🤓💜💜💜

Anum Jia

I'm so sorry, but I can't find this video..
