We can see him go through literally all the stages of becoming an ARMY in this video 😂😅😌

Black Swan is them talking about fearing of losing their passion in music, fearing that one day music doesnt resonate to them anymore. They dont want to lose that passion. Black swan is a masterpiece! THANK YOU FOR REACTING! and oh! Memorizing their names through hair color doesnt actually helps, talking from experience 😅 The birth of an OT7!

RM WROTE THIS SONG AND EXPRESSED THAT HE CRIED IN THE STUDIO WHILE WRITING THIS AND SOME OTHER TRACKS, THIS IS ONE OF HIS MASTERPIECES!

Not only is RM off the charts handsome, but he also helped write this masterpiece. He's just all around amazing. Thanks for recognizing his handsomeness! I really enjoy your reactions - you appreciate all aspects of their music!

"This man (RM) is the definition of handsome." yes anthony. you spilling facts.

“I don’t know who I like the most.” -- welcome to the ARMY life. We start with having a bias (favorite), but then a ‘bias wrecker’ comes on and confuses the hell out of us. Hence, we end up being OT7 (one to 7), meaning we like all of them. BTS is 7, and we stan all of them, rightly so. Now, you understand. 💜

"Once you JIMIN, you can't JIMOUT"😂😂💜

'Black Swan' refers to the internal struggle of a person who has become used to doing what he loves the most and how the taste he had for it has completely disappeared. For example, dancers have "their first death" when they stop dancing with the same love and passion that they did before and a singer dies when the sounds of a song no longer cause them any feelings. For this reason, it is that in a video where some dancers dance this song and at the beginning of the video they put a phrase that says: "a dancer dies twice... Once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the most painful" Edit: I hope you understand, I'm not good in English man, sorry if something is wrong ✌😊

Symptoms of becoming an army: - Recognizes all the member - Repeating over and over again - Gets wrecked by all the members - Tries to interpret their song and MV - Can't pick a favorite song - Liking a genre you don't usually listen to - Singing along I think you're definitely an army now lmao Always love your reactions 💜

Whoever said you “need” a bias is wrong. There are a lot of fans who don’t have a bias; if it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. As long as you respect all 7 and recognize that BTS is 7, its all good.

A very clever ARMY once said on Twitter that “Jimin is his own sexuality.” They’re not wrong

"Look at this motherfucker. This guy is the definition of handsome." I laughed soo hard, that's why I like Anthony's reactions xD I'm anxiously waiting for Idol and Fake Love reactions!

ARMY's main crack on KZfaq: Seeing a KZfaq reactor hopping into BTS casually because their video was trending that one day, and then seeing them descend into madness trying to figure out who is their favourite a couple of months later.

Black Swan is created with dancer Martha Graham’s quote as a motive. “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.”

Anthony talking about RM: Look at this m-effer! Me: * thinking about Joonie trying to catch tiny crabs everywhere he can * 😂

Probably the only reactor I've seen who pays attention to the smallest detail of every bts mv, go through the lyrics of each song and analyse it. We love an OT7, Anthony!

“Black Swan” tells the story of a dancer, an artist, who fears the death of their career: the moment when they can no longer perform on stage. The moment when music no longer touches BTS's hearts or stirs their passion is the moment when the specter of that “first death”. Song was written by: RM, PDogg, August Riggo, and Clyde Kelly

“ A dancer dies twice. Once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the most painful." so the song is exploring what it is to lose passion for what you Love doing. In their case is music, but you can generalize and apply it to an individual's artistic passion. This was the first song I ever heard by BTS. It came at one of my lowest points during the pandemia. I spent a good 2 to 3 hours researching EVERYTHING I could immediately after hearing it. Became ARMY instantly 💜 this song is so special! RM wrote this song 💜

A masterpiece created by genius RM.. i f**king love this song

BTS doesn't have any issues with letting other members shine, they don't have egos like that and I think that's one of the main reasons they've lasted so long together. They promote each other's solo works so hard you'd think it was theirs lol and even show up at the solo video shots for moral support.They value each others individual contributions and strengths.

The “I think am an army” statement really got to me, that’s how we all started

Black Swan Deserves a Grammy! It's classical music is calming and you can feel it!

black swan is about the death of their love for music, the moment it dies is also the death of them. they are verbalizing their fear of losing their passion. i love your reactions and I can actually feel your genuine emotions

His struggle of not being able to pick any members as his fave is the eternal battle ARMY needs to face everytime we see them perform 😌

In RM’s vLive, he talked about how he created this song. He watched the movie “Black Swan” many times and feel the pain as the ballet dancer, he then wrote this song. Even he doesn’t song many verse, this is RM’s song.

the way I screamed when you said "i think i'm an army" jansj welcome buddy, i think we are in this bts sht forever,, thank you for the reaction i really enjoyed watching it, we really appreciate it 🌌💛

I absolutely love how you had to restart it over and over and watch it again and again. I literally can’t get enough of this song. It’s impossible to get tired of it. Suga’s start and RM’s bit are major key to the meaning of this song, imo. They talk about how the “first death” is when music doesn’t make them react anymore. It’s about how important music is to their lives. It’s a massive part of their souls- hence the shadows…. :)

Anthony: "I think I'm an army" All of us: We knew. We just wanted you to realize it

"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." ~ Martha Graham What happens to an artist when they can no longer do what they love - to create, to perform, to express? And which is worse: losing the ability to do it, or losing the passion for it?

In "Black swan" Namjoon truly surpassed himself with the lyrics

Haha I love how he’s always like RM is so assertive and hard hitting and the boss yet he’s so sweet and shy all the time 😂

20:50 "hey, you know what? you know what??... Again." YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

They talk about their fear of losing their love for music, their craft, that’s what is the first death for them

"I like when they put J-hope and Suga back to back, I don't know why" Me: *Laughs in Otsakaure*

Black swan has really gained 5 millions armys at least to the fandom i swear …and i am one of them 😭

Anthony: "I don't know who I like the most" Me: I totally understand. ✋🏼😩

I'm glad you mentioned how handsome RM is. His confidence, intelligence, and general good guy sense is unmatched, AND -- he has (in my opinion, I love all the guys, don't come for me) the most striking and elegant face out of all the guys in the group. He's underrated, and a supremely handsome guy. Awesome reaction!

In Forest Gump's voice, "BTS music is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get". 😉👍🏼

My introduction to BTS was just the opposite, I don’t really listen to Rap so I was reluctant to listen to some songs but now( no bias here) Suga & RM voices are like ASMR to me 🥰BTS music gives me a deep feeling of Peace and Happiness 🌈I will forever love Them 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🖤🌈✨🌎💫🤟

Anthony, why are you so fuckin adorable? 😭 seriously.... thank you for your reactions and yes, this song is a masterpiece!

Thank you for addressing the issue about RM's looks - he really deserves more.

Jimin was trained in contemporary dance before debute. So he can rock different dance styles. His dance stages are amazing. You can check out "boy meets evil mama perfomance" jimin and jhope danced together.

I also had to watch this MV 16 times before I could move on. I also became ARMY through this song. Fabulous.

Anthony we honestly don’t mind long videos. “RUN THAT BACK” represents this channel 🥰💜 also i love all the members. Just can’t choose and I know I don’t have to 😉 FABULOUS REACTION THANKS

ARMY: BTS Black Swan, we need it now Anthony: and I'm like, "ok" So chill to ARMYs demands 😂

“Nah run that back.” -Anthony Ray, 2021

I love how HYPED he gets when reacting to BTS

Imagine the feelings Anthony’s gonna feel when he stumbles across otsukare 😎 SOPE FTW 💜☠️💜☠️

Yes, RM is hotter because of his brain, his personality, the kind of musician he is and duh ofcourse he is handsome by his looks. THAT MAN IS NOTHING BUT PERFECT.

Anthony makes a half hour reaction to one BTS song *EVERYONE LIKED THAT*

Best part of my day: Watching their passion ignite your passion. Consider yourself drafted into ARMY. Yaaaasssssssssssssssss

An artist dies twice. First when the art leaves them and the first death is the most painful. That is what Black Swan is about. That's the first death they're talking about, how a song never enters their heart anymore. The death depicted here is more painful than all physical death combined. The song is darker than dark. It's a void with a music.

The fact that you caught the part where Jin looked back but his reflection stood looking at him 👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥

That’s the beauty of BTS. They are all unique and great. It’s hard not to love all of them equally.

Love your reaction to this.. This song is underrated, not all fans love it coz it's kinda darker and not heavy on the choreography but this is art & psychological treatment as well.. You really are a great reactor.

I'm addicted to this song for the past two years and still I get goosebumps. And everytime I watch or listen I hear and see only Jimin, I think 99% JM harmonized with everyone not sure but I get only his voice in the background mostly. I remember in an award show interview Hobi said three things to expect from this song Jimin Jimin and Jimin and it's a yes for me 1. Graceful black swan, Jimin 2. Angelic voice, Jimin 3. Harmony, Jimin 💜💜💜💜

EXACTLYYYY RM is so freaking handsome he's like the definition of hot alpha male I honestly don't understand why ppl would think namjoon is anything but handsome

im here to witness anthony's journey on unveiling's all abt bts' discography EVERY SINGLE DAY and im loving it

"i like when they put jhope and suga back to back" sope transitions are legendary

the black swan is about the first death of the artist, when the artist looses contact with their art, and their heart, embrace your shadow self, love your whole self, darkness and light, broken and whole to become your art, you and your brothers become art. BTS is Art.

I really laughed when he said ""I don't know who do I like the most"" This is our situation all the time that's why we are OT7!!

i knew it......anthony u have now officially fallen into the rabbit hole .... and trust me......u cant escape....i speak from experience

From what I gather, the premise of this song is that it's coming from an artist's perspective. For example a dancer or musician either losing their physical ability or passion for what they do. For anyone that has ever held that talent or passion only to lose it is considered a type of death.. the FIRST death. The second death refers to actual death. Meaning losing your ability or passion is actually worse than dying because you are left to suffer the loss until you actually die. I genuinely relate to this song and it gets me emotional to this day.

블랙스완 진짜 명곡이에요,,, 그리고 7:04 진짜 인정해요. 남준이 진짜 잘생겼어요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 김남준처럼 멋있고 고급지고 잘생긴 남자 못봤다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 방탄 최고

Maaaan, if you have to watch it five times, we'll be here watching you rewind it five times 🤣 love your reactions and how seriously you take their music and how in depth you go trying to understand everything. when you don't have a favorite you're an OT7 ARMY 💜💜💜 they're all so hard working and talented individually. Each one brings something else to the table. BTS wouldn't be BTS if one of them was gone. Thank you for this reaction!

I seriously died laughing when he just stopped and said “I don’t know who I like “ all frustrated and stuff. Same bro same.

*BLACK SWAN details the relationship Artists have with their craft* - *comparing the Harrowing Feeling of Losing the Love for the Craft to Death.*

I really resonate with this song (thank you RM and all for this masterpiece) because it speaks on the death of one’s creative spirit, the death of love for your craft. When the music no longer stirs my heart, that will be my first death. By the end of the song, we’ve come full circle. We have a choice as artists when it feels like our soul has died in this craft- we can let it die or we can let those dark waves come and recede and cultivate a new soul with what’s left. This way, we know now that we can endure anything when it comes to our art.

J-hope and Suga back to back... YES SOPE SUPREMACY!!!

I love how long your reactions are and go back to listen to parts again to grasp everything! Also thank you for appreciating RM's looks and everything! Everyone is handsome in BTS but I am a RM bias. Looking forward to more of your reactions!

The entire concept of the song and MV starts from the phrase "every artist has two deaths, the first is when he stops making art", everything then continues to show their feelings and thoughts during the difficult phase they went through in 2018, depression, hate, pressure, etc. ( Sorry for the language mistakes, english isn't my first language ) :)

when suga sing, it's jimjn who's dancing at the back😊

Jimin is the shadow behind Suga and J-Hope did RM’s ceiling shadow. They’re all so talented, this is one of my favorite songs and music videos.

what you said about namjoon (RM) is so true!!! when I first met bts I fell in love with him cause the way he presented himself, I cant even explain, he is so handsome but the way he is, its so attractive

You need to watch ALL solos. You're really going to love it when you figure out KPOP is HUGE! Enjoy

the fact that I binge watch you binge watch BTS is.... I love that you have fallen completely into the rabbit hole. It's wide and VERY deep. "What is Black Swan? I got to know!" then whips out phone. Dude, no Jimin out now... LOL

"For some reason I like when they put Suga and Jhope back to back" yeah you're definitely an ARMY 😭

Anthony: I don't know who to prefer.. Army: we too that's why we are ot7 bias💜💜😂

Black swan reaction Anthony: I think Im an ARMY ARMY: welcome to the fam💜 I love seeing him so manly but also who's like me fangirling and got bias wrecked by each member😂 his reaction is very relatable😂 I can't get over how so many times you play it from the beginning but I enjoy your reaction so much. This one's definitely an Ot7😅

Every time I see them each one amazed me in some way. They compliment each other so well. Together they are awesome but how they allow each other to have moments of standing out is one of the best things about them. I've enjoyed their music more than any other group since discovering them in 2019, but what I love the most is the love Nd and respect they have for each other. It shows in everything they do.

Oh shit, the realization when you go "i think I'm an ARMY", welcome to the fam.

this masterpiece is co-written and co-composed by RM

The first part of this song talks about their love of each other, the group and the music they make. If the time comes where they are no longer love what they do or the feel the music in their heart then that will be the first death. The second half of the song talks about how they live their life very publicly and they pour their heart and soul into the music. Every song they created expresses their doubt, fears and anxiety but they continue because they have learned who they are and found themselves in the music. PS: I found BTS in 2018 at the end of the Love Yourself era just before MAP of the Soul came out. The rap line pulled me in but then the vocal line made me stay. I still don't have a bias. I love each of them not only for their talent but for who they are as individuals. They are special and truly unique.

Anthony consistently having a crush on Jimin throughout the reactions is my favorite thing

18:36 Every army when they jim-in, so they can't even jim-out. Look at me, still lost yet loves suffering. Gosh these men.

Now you caught in SOPE supremacy!!! Suga with j-hope sounds so fcking good 🔥

He is finally become an ARMY!!! 🤣 Welcome to the bright side of our life! Just enjoy it! You don‘t need to decide between the members, love them all!

This song is about the trajedy of an artist falling out of love with their craft or art. Like in the beginning suga says something like the heart doesnt beat when the music plays. Meaning he doesnt get that hyped up feeling when he/they perform/create their music.

Oh my heart! Black Swan!! I’m a 66-year-old white female from the USA, and I’ve been ARMY since June 2019. I am living proof that BTS bypasses gender, generational, and geographical boundaries, not to mention the language barrier. I just discovered your channel on Saturday, July 31st, and have been binge-watching your BTS reaction videos. You bring such knowledge, skill and, dare I say it, joy to the table with these videos that I find myself clapping and laughing right along with you. Thank you so much for respecting these young men! You talk about their hard work (signed with BigHit in 2010 when the youngest was only 13 and the oldest was 18, worked 12-16 hours a day for three years before their debut on 06/13/2013), their skill, their artistry, and all the many things that go into making them the global superstars they are today. I never appreciated rap/hip-hop until I heard it through the messages that BTS conveys. I start every day with my favorite song - 2017’s “Not Today”. RM starts it with “All you underdogs in the world, a day may come when we lose, but it is NOT TODAY. Today we fight!”. The hook is, “Run if you can’t fly (today we will survive), walk if you can’t run (today we will survive), crawl if you can’t walk (crawl to gear up), Ready! Aim! Fire!”. It gives me hope and energy for each day. Here’s the link in case you haven’t heard it yet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qnraV6qLbMlIE.html I will keep watching you! Borahae!

17:47 "I don't know who I prefer" - Welcome to the OT7 club sir.

Watching get OT7 wrecked is the sweetest thing ever! I love your genuine and analytical reactions. 💜

"You know what? Again." Yes. Always.

Not only you Anthony we all Lost ourselves in this BANGTAN sh!t for the rest of our lives....

I died laughing when you said "I think...I think I am an ARMY" 🤣 welcome to the fandom.

I can see you going through the same thing I went through and then I became ARMY over 3 years ago. I am the same about Jimin. He is my bias from day one and still is. He is the reason I got into BTS in the first place and started looking into them. His beauty, amazing voice and amazing dancing. I love them all now. The message they send is amazing!!! 💜🫰🏻🫶🏻

this song basically them talking about their fear of losing interest in dancing and singing. they said that if that happens, it would be their death.

It's connected with SUGA's song "Interlude: Shadow"

The ballet Swan Lake’s main character is turned into a white swan which the prince must save. There is a black swan (played by the same ballerina) who tempts the prince so he’ll love her instead. It’s basically purity vs seductress. There’s also the movie Black Swan which was based on this same ballet, where the main character who plays the swans is a very nice and pure girl but she goes crazy as she dives into her dark side to be able to play the black swan. A black swan is also an event that takes you by surprise, which is why this MV was dropped out of the blue when nobody expected it. A swan song is also a metaphor for death or a last performance since it comes from the belief that swans sing right before they die.

Black swan is a character in Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake".
