Jungkook produced and helped write this song. He said it’s a song for the fans

Like others have already said, JK wrote this song as a love song for ARMY. But I truly love you guys' interpretation of it, as you are right, it does fit in those methods of love as well. And I really felt moved to tears when you mentioned parents. That IS how a parent would love their child, wanting the best for their child, giving their all for their child. And then, in their old age, losing that drive and forgetting to love themselves the way they loved us. I've had to fight with my aging parents to take better care for themselves, and what you guys said really made me feel that. Thank you.

this song is for the army , how they stayed with bts and saw their potential , so they r saying to do the same for ourselves too!!

Guys I think Alex‘s bias is Jin 😂 The way he always reacts when he starts singing melts my heart

The song is based on the book “Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart by James R. Doty”. Its about the lessons the author learned from Ruth, a woman he met in a magic shop, who taught him how to open his heart and inspired him to become a neurosurgeon. It is a great read!

Magic shop is a psychodramatic technique that exchanges fear for a positive attitude. Here, BTS is saying ARMY is their Magic shop through which they got best of themselves and are urging ARMYs to do the same ergo love yourself. PS-this is LOVE YOURSELF

Jimin sound like rain🥺💜 It's his birthday today We must thank him for everything😭💜

high notes jimin the best ✨

This is BTS encouraging ARMY to fullfil your dreams. The magic shop is an exchange of emotions 🤔🥰

Magic Shop is my absolute favorite song from BTS and the live version is the best. I feel like there's more emotion put into it when singing for ARMY 💜

The call-and-response between BTS and the audience for this song is such a beautiful exchange to hear! If someone will suddenly sing "So show me" in public, the Army brain will probably automatically scream-sing the answer back!

JK produced this song!

Thanks guys!! Love your reactions!! And really LOVE how Alex shows his love for Jin And his voice!!! JIIIIINNNN!! 😍

It's where you can love others,but dont forget to love yourself too

Tae's voice 😍 I love this song!

Jimin voice is amazing!!!!!

"So Show me I'll show you, show you show you" my favourite line 💜💜

It was just Jimin’s birthday if y’all didn’t know!

This song is my everytime song. when I'm sad or I'm happy I listen to this song. this does magic to me especially Jimin's voice. 12:11 to 12:33 hits me directly in my heart.

hii thank you for another great reaction!💜 i love the lyrics “you gave me the best of me, so you’ll give you the best of you” so much. in my opinion in it’s about how armys supported them since their debut when even they didn’t believe in themselves, and now we brought them to the class of world stars, so they want to give it back to us. the only thing they can do for us is give us music, but it’s on us to truly understand their lyrics and their words, so at the end we ourselves have to give “me the best of me”, with their help. it’s on us to improve ourselves, it’s on us to learn to love ourselves, and they will be by our side on that journey.

Here before solo stans come and praise only one of the members. This is what I love about you guys,how you have always something nice to say and appreciate every member,thank you for that 💜

This song always gets me. I love this song BTS made for ARMY

I just appreciate this song so much😭 BTS always finds ways to comfort us💜

this song is so comforthing, jungkook with the rest of the boys gave us a beautiful present. i know this song helped many people, me including ;)

10:41 peep the stank face at Jin’s vocals 😂

Whole charm of Bts is the best visible on their live performances.

Everytime it's Jin's verse Alex's face changes we have a new Jin biase in the house

Magic Shop is a song dedicated to ARMYs, and serves telling us they will forever be with us. So show me (I’ll show you)” can be interpreted in the context that they don’t want us to be afraid of showing our true selves to them. BTS have also been very open about their personal hurts and pain.

I really like your reaction everytime it's Jin's turn to sing, you smile and called his name☺️💜☺️ jhope is sub vocals so he can do it both

HI ALEX & ALLEN, I love to see you immerse yourself in the lyrics of BTS, listen without prejudices, listen carefully to the beauty of the instrumentals and the harmony of the tracks... I find you very perceptive most of the time... it makes you even sexier than you are. « MAGIC SHOP » is a song made for fans by the youngest member of BTS, Jungkook. He expressed that they would feel very happy if fans can find comfort through this song when they’re struggling,tired & in pain. In the song they say that when fans feel tired, if they look there’s this place called “Magic Shop” in their hearts, where they can find love of all the BTS members. Magic shop is a place where your fears are exchanged for happiness. As in the lyrics, BTS wants to take your fears, pains & give you back happiness. Let’s talko about the lyrics: I KNOW THAT YOU’RE HESITATING BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU SAY THE TRUTH IN THE END IT WILL ALL RETURN AS SCARS I’M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING BLATANT LIKE “FIND STRENGTH” Here BTS is showing that they do truly understand what it is like to have a mental illness or traumatic event that they were ashamed to tell anyone about. They say that they know you are scared to tell the truth because you fear that everyone will then only see that event when they look at you. Many people can relate to this because no matter how hard they try when people learn about suicide attempts, rape victims, etc the first thing they think of is that event when the person it happened to popped into their head. They then go onto to say that they also understand that saying stuff like “find strength” is not helpful to work up the courage to face these things. So they will tell us their story These lines are simply to show that BTS understand. Both RM and Yoongi have talked about mental illness, suicide, and self hatred. They truly want army to know that they know how scared you might feel, how ashamed you are and how useless other people are when it comes to fixing you. They want you to know that this song is not another video or textbook or person saying “just be happy” or “feel less useless” or “push through” this song is them showing you their story. I WILL LET YOU HEAR MY STORY, LET YOU HEAR IT BTS have always been quite clear about their struggles and mental health state, in order to remain honest towards their fans. RM and Suga have thus admitted in their respective mixtapes (RM - 2015 and Agust D - 2016) the suicidal thoughts they once had and the depression they were fighting at the time. This will to share this more fragile side of themselves took a further step with the Wings album (2016) where each of them participated in writing their own solo song which uncovered their respectivve insecurities, such as self-hatred, permanent guilt or the fear of seeing each other suffering. With the Love Yourself series, they aimed at teaching ARMYs how to love themselves by applying the message to themselves first. This line thus summarize the goal of their music: by revealing their own battle towards self-love, they hope that people will follow their example. WHAT DID I SAY? I SAID YOU’D WIN, DIDN’T I? I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT (REALLY) COULD I WIN IT? THIS MIRACLE THAT ISN’T A MIRACLE DID WE MAKE IT? Namjoon could be referring to Army’s helping BTS with their success. We helped them to become as successful as they are today by standing by them, and in a way it’s a win for us too. I WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR MELODY They want to pay us back for what we’ve helped them achieve through this song. YOU’RE THE LAST REASON FOR ME WHO WAS STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF BTS debuted in 2013 but had a rough start, not reaching fame for a few years. Each member had their own mental problems and a one or two hinted at possible suicidal thoughts. Now, they say a lot tat ARMY is what keeps them going and keeps them strong. It’s theorized this lyric means that - the ARMY is the reason they didn’t step off the cliff. The cliff can be looked at as giving up on their career as a band, or giving up on their life. Metaphorically We kept them alive. LET'S MAKE A DOOR IN YOUR HEART OPEN THE DOOR AND THIS PLACE WILL AWAIT IT'S OKAY TO BELIEVE, THE MAGIC SHOP WILL COMFORT YOU This is a reference to James Doty’s autobiography Into the Magic Shop. In this book, the third lesson he learns whilst in the magic shop is the importance of opening your heart. Having grown up in poverty, he found it difficult to forgive and love himself. He ignores this lesson of opening the heart during the majority of his life. However, when struck by misfortunes, like a near-death experience and losing his wealth as an established neurosurgeon, he realizes the importance of the love and compassion that comes with opening the heart. “I opened my heart and found that my heart had the ability to connect with every other heart it met.” THIS HERE IS THE MAGIC SHOP Magic Shop is the psychological term for exchanging fear into a positive mindset, which makes sense with the mv. They each trade their character’s worst fear/weakness for something that makes them happy. What Jin trades in isn’t clear, but it looks like the earbuds he had in Awake. (A song riddled with doubts and fears that he will never fly) It isn’t shown what he gets in exchange, but it looks to be the journal of the girl. The journal was a reminder of happier times, before he lost her. Suga trades in the lighter that he tried to burn himself to death with. In return, he gets a lollipop. (A reminder of the girl who he pushed away because he was scared he would get too close and hurt her.) J-Hope trades in the Snicker Bar his mom gave him before she abandoned him. He gets a birthday cake that he gives to his friend in Best of Me. RM trades in a piece of the glass from Reflection (Another song riddled with regret and fear). In exchange, he gets the hairband that he gives to the girl in Best of Me. Jimin trades in a picture of the woods from Lie. (Most likely the Observatory his character seems to be scared of) In turn, he receives the umbrella he chases J-Hope in the rain with. What Taehyung trades in isn’t clear, but it most likely is the cellphone he tried and failed to reach RM with. (His character had just stabbed his dad because he was scared his sister would get hurt. Not being able to reach RM afterwards meant that he had to handle this guilt by himself.) In turn, he got the bag the girl had in Best of Me. Nobody can even begin to guess what Jungkook traded in, but he got a key to the room Taehyung was in during Singularity. 5/7 of them got items in turn that had to do with love. J-Hope and Jungkook got items that allowed them to bring joy to others lives. (Which really shows to their character) Their happiness is based on the happiness of others around them. MY GREED THAT WAS MY WEAPON SUFFOCATED ME AND ALSO BECAME A LEASH This line sang by Suga refers to his will to succeed in the music industry back to when he was a trainee and the newfound feeling of confinement due to his idol status that occured later on. This darker period of his life was expressed in similar terms in the title 마지막 (The Last) from his mixtape Agust D (2016) : “I’ve exchanged my youth for success And that monster demands for more wealth At times it puts a collar on my neck To ruin and swallow me with greed” BUT LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, TRUTHFULLY I FEEL LIKE IT’S NOT TRUE THAT I WANTED TO BE THE BEST I WANTED TO BECOME YOUR COMFORT AND MOVE YOUR HEART I WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SADNESS, AND PAIN At first, BTS thought their only purpose as a group was to be the ‘best of the best’ (most talented, most popular etc). But now they’ve pushed aside this mindset due to discovering how powerful and influential their music can be. Inspiring others and delivering important messages is their new goal. ON DAYS WHERE I HATE MYSELF FOR BEING ME, ON DAYS WHERE I WANT TO DISAPPEAR FOREVER LET'S MAKE A DOOR. IT'S IN YOUR HEART OPEN THE DOOR AND THIS PLACE WILL AWAIT MAGIC SHOP “The door” they are talking about leads us to magic shop where we are all accepted for who we are. Magic shop is our last destination where we will meet BTS. Shortly Magic Shop is heaven on the earth. YOU GAVE ME THE BEST OF ME SO YOU'LL GIVE YOU THE BEST OF YOU YOU FOUND ME. YOU KNEW ME BTS is trying to tell us that we,ARMY,made them how they are today and saved them from giving up and that we can save usselves from giving up too. “You found me” means that luckily we found their music and their group before it was too late and they were giving up. YOU'LL FIND IT, THE GALAXY INSIDE YOU RM has talked repeatedly about the idea of every person having their own galaxy inside them. He uses a similar line in “I Believe” the last track of his 2015 mixtape RM. Before that, he used the similar metaphor “the real realm in me” in his pre-debut track, “Glory.”

Army's the reason why BTS always deliver great performances, so in return BTS wants us fans to give our best to ourselves as well and that is to love ourselves 💜

Fun fact: This song prevented suicide of some peoples that didn't have hope anymore after they read the lyrics they got a little bit more hope

“You’ll give you the best of you” means you should love yourself, be nice to yourself 🤧🤧🤧💜💜💜

Magic Shop along with 2!3! is an official fan song but yeah it is really just a comfort song as you said, that's why they say "I'll tell you my story" and we all know how BTS had no hope of making it big but even they made it, so they're telling army even we can do it, we'll find success. For me i think the best part is how the lyrics go "You gave the best of me so you'll give you the best of you" they could have easily made it I'll give you the best of you but they didn't cuz they want us to work for ourselves they want us to give ourselves the best cuz we can do it... its just so beautiful and the imagery of the galaxy is something RM had said in his ment in their 2015's On stage prologue concert, they really weren't even that big then but his words were so beautiful he said something around "we all have a galaxy inside of us, if you find it then every moment in you're life from then can become the most beautiful moment in life" so yeah its a very comforting song produced by Jungkook

I love that you love Jin cos his vocals is insane ❤in fact vocal line and rap line rock❤

Hi guys- I just discovered your page yesterday and I am so impressed how you are able to interpret BTS's messages. I don't have many people I can share BTS with, so one of my favorite things to watch on KZfaq is people (especially men) watch BTS for the first time. In subsequent videos you can see the admiration grow. And with it the opening of their hearts and minds. I'm so happy you found them!💜

Jjjjjjjjjjaaaaaayyyyy Hooooope, my Ultimate Bias for a reason.

Yes jhope has a technique of sing rap just like drake very rare talent

Jungkook wrote and produced this song and dedicated it to ARMY. It’s really a comforting song and the lyrics “You gave me the best of me. So you'll give you the best of you” is like saying you (ARMY) gave me (BTS) strength and I know you can do it for yourself. And if something happens you can always go to the Magic Shop because they will be waiting there 💜

its really a uplifting and comforting song😭😭

It's about how Army gave their best to support BTS and to bring them where they are now they can also support themselves to achieve what they want so make their dreams come true

I am always in tears with this song..it always hits me .i love it so much

Both jhope and drake are gems of the world

It's a healing song for fans and all people listened this song. BTS want to give some positive and healing power for every one, especially their fans ARMY.

Lives are always so much better than studio versions. I’ve heard so many artists whose lives are trash. It never ceases to amaze me how AWESOME BTS is.

Oh my God! 😭😭😭 Finally!!! This song is for ARMY. This is my comfort song and I really wanted to share this with y'all... thank you 💜💜💜

Ok..I'm just going to say it. I think you guys are ready to experience a BTS concert in person when all this clears up..It's definitely a must do!!

I love & adore this song so damn much. It gives me the feels big time. It's my alarm song.

Love you so much JungKook 💜👑

I love love love love that song in live because the call/response of bts and army singin "so show me" "I'll show you"

Magic Shop is a SONG for ARMYs.. Jungkook wrote this coz he really loves ARMYs.. He wants to comfort ARMYs

I really love j-hope voice in this song and sugar in his song "see saw"😊

Who remembered their poems to eachother and when j-hope red the light went off 😂😂😂

BTS made my day everyday! Now listening to this song again today I will sleep happily!

Hey guys today is jimin bday

Thank you so much for reacting to Magic Shop!! It's one of my favorites, especially live! I don't remember if you've done Love Myself yet, but its live is also Fire! You'll have Turbo running it back fasho! 💜💜

This is my all time favorite BTS Song.

Thanks guys your courage & bravery is appreciated with the covid and guys are working in hospital thank u . My cousin is RN right now she is away from home helping down in texas they needed more nurses so your guys hard but thank you ☺️😊

Love how you guys gradually lit up and vibe to it. I always emjoy seeing you guys going. 😶 To 😌☺️😁 🎶 and just swaying/head banging your head along the beat as the song goes on and how you try to sing some parts despite 1st time hearing them. I really appreciate how open you guys are for the music and culture of others. Thank you. Also, just so you guys know, JK (Jungkook) is actually thevone who made this song. In hopes of sending a message, empowerment and love for ARMYS. But as BTS always said, as long as people could listen to their music without prejudice, people can take their song as how they want / how it'll resonates for them. Which is why if not all, most of their songs aren't too literal or bold. They like to put word play, poetic verses or even write their lyrics in ways that people can take it in many different ways. They want it to be as versatile and open as they are. Deep yet has wider depths into it. Which is also why they never write too simple or gibberish songs. I wish you guys well and more blessings to your channel. 💜

When Alex yells Jinnnnnnn,nnnnnnnn! Is life🥺

Man someday I wanna go to a BTS concert. It looks like the happiest place on earth.

Story time got fire today!!!!!💜💜💜💜

You Love Me, NOW Love Yourself! You put all this love into BTS, now Put all this love into taking care of Yourself! Go into this Magic Shop and take care of Yourself too.🙋‍♀️🤗🤩💜💞✌🙏🇺🇸 #ArmyWithLuv #ArmyMeansFamily #AlwaysWithBTS

I love this song. Definitely one of my favorites. Well done

This is one of my favorites. STORY:I was a CNA 40 years ago. I am 5 feet tall and back then 120lb. We helped each other transfer patients. I wish I had had you to help me!

they sound way much better on live, they are really talented good singers, no one come close to their level in k pop industries as to this date.

You can't help but sing alone to this song

i understand what you mean about J hope's Melody rap, personally it actually reminds me of Swae Lee's way of coming on a song, its always the most catchy/iconic part. Of course its different but they are both amazing at their technique with riding the beats in songs. This video for example kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndina7mL39nQmGg.html

Everytime I hear magic shop I get chills, I literally love this song so much💜

Ah i love your reaction, yes it was written for army but it can apply to other kinds of relationships like you said. Must be magical to hear it live and shout the lines with everyone. hope you guys have a nice day!

LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR is the ultimate no skip album..😏

Magic Shop will always have a special place in my heart 💜💜. Its such a meaningful song & it showcases all the members' talent so well.

Watching you guys work it out is so fun, im excited to keep unpacking stuff myself

The way you said JIMIIINNNNN" at 16:59 make my heart exploded

First time heard this song and I just love it so much! Thanks for sharing

This is pretty much them saying, hey, all that love and faith and trust and effort that you give us, you should also give to yourself. We'll help you. It was inspired by one of Namjoon's concert speech.

They're creating this safe place

I wanna see you listen to Paradise so bad, it’s one of my favorite songs, the beat is amazing and the lyrics are truly powerful, they help me not freak out whenever I think about where I am and what I’m doing 💕

i don't get it. I usually hate it when people don't get to the reactions immediately but here i am leaning back in my chair, snack in hand, hyping up story time.... yall are good story tellers

Damn I was hoping for the flames at the end lol. Also I listen to this when Im feeling down, always brings my mood back up

No matter how long your videos are, I really enjoy them

Great reaction as always...sending you both love from Indianapolis, Indiana.

THIS SONG IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG YOU ARE RIGHT

When I watched Alex saying their names individually I can’t help but smile coz I remembered like it felt yesterday when he was struggling to identify who’s who and now... so proud of you🥺😂 and also Allen’s face everytime he hears V🥺😏

As a nurse i want to enter in this conversation so bad lol i gained muscles after joining the hospital im currently working in

That was nice. So glad you enjoyed that. Actually they created Magic Shop for Army. If Army is struggling BTS will be there to help just go inside your mind and enter the magic shop BTS will be waiting. They are so sweet. This is such a powerful song. Many ppl struggle with mental health and this just resonates with me strongly. Many Army lived because of this song. Powerful! ty-baby ARMY NY USA 💜

Its more of like BTS being an inspiration to armies, armies being the inspiration for BTS. Its a give and take relationship, process between army and BTS of which can be translated to other relationships in general like what you mentioned.

every time there's a bts reaction from you guys on my subscription page it instantly makes my day 100000 times better. might have cried while reading the lyrics again, what's new

Who wouldn't love Magic Shop. Thank you for reacting on this guys! I hope you'll also react to Jungkook and Jimin's dance cover of MJ's Black or White. I tell yah its sick. Godbless.💜

This song is magical and I just-------the live performance is so much better but I like both
