the way I screamed when you started to translate the phrase at the end OMG !! amazing reaction as always, thank you!! can't wait for the next one 🌌

This was recorded 2 weeks ago when I didn't know all their names. I do now! Also, thanks for all the clarifications on the meaning behind the song and MV. This is another masterpiece

You're the first reactor to actually notice and read the german quote in the wall omg... edit: hes not the first reactor i meant he was the first one for me 😅😅😅 why are you all still replying with hes not the first omggg yesss i know by now, i even edited to say he was the first for *ME* you can stop replying with others now lol help

I will say that THE song that makes ARMY go crazy when performed is actually BAEPSAE Baepsae is a... DANGEROUS song live LOL RM and J-Hope rule the stage when they perform this

DUUUUDE The way I gasped when you just started translating the quote at the end - you're so freaking cool man!! Loved the reaction!!!!

this song defines the temptations and greed which comes with age, the young adulthood, wings was an album from the idea from Hermann Hesse's book Demian. their ideas were pretty similar so yeah, a story line also goes trough the Japanese version of this song, bts is a lot more to dive in!!!

The way I laughed at the title “what is happening.” It’s ok I’ve been an army since 2015 and still don’t fully understand Wings and BST even after reading and watching all the theories etc haha.

"You have to have chaos in yourself to give birth to a dancing star" -thats what it says, comming from a german hihi🇩🇪🇩🇪

Next BTS ON Kinetic Manifesto 🙏

Temptation: this song show how we thinks, choose & grow - the pain of additive love {boys now are adolescents}💜 concept taken from the book by Herman Hesse "Damien" - evil vs. good 💜 {please} watch "Bookish Theories Explanation" video for understanding & meaning Of B.S. & T 💜 Evil Abracus took Jin to the evil realm 💜 blind folded, don't look, preserve your innocence, don't fall under the spell 💜

Let's see with what I have read and understood from the video is about a fallen Angel / Demon who is Tae / V ,who had his wings cut off for defying the heavens,he tries to cajole (Catch) everyone but Jin ,As we see Jungkook gradually begins to fall before the temptation,while RM has already done so , Suga on the other hand has already seen the evil and darkness of Tae/V and wants to protect Jimin who already has the forbidden fruit in his hands (The apple in his hands) this reminds me of Adam and Eve ,Putting the blindfolds on him Then Jimin has a struggle he does not know how to decide whether to follow his desire or or close his eyes as Suga has already told him. It could be said that those who already belong or are about to stay are: RM,Jungkook and Suga , in their attempt to keep Jimin away from evil and that those who still maintain more or less their innocence and humanity are Jimin and J-hope the latter is the only one who has not been tempted at any time and is the only one Lucid so to speak that is why we see that he tries to kill Tae/V shooting him an arrow but fails as he jumps off the balcony as we saw in the MV then we see that Tae/V turns back as if he was waiting for something or saw something that caught his attention he just smiled and jumped. Finally there is Jin who sees how everyone is being dragged by the darkness we can observe how he feels helpless for not being able to do anything to help them ,then we see how Tae/V covers his eyes ,then Tae offers him a deal in which if Jin sacrifices himself and will let the others go then Jin decides to accept the deal, the seal of the deal is kissing the statue then we observe at the end of the video how Jin breaks and this is because he has taken the pain of 7 people together. . . .🛐

I really appreciate the fact that you don't slander them straight away, you give their music and their videos a chance (even if it's not necessarily your style, like you stated before) and actually listen to them, I've seen with with your cypher reactions too, you actually listen to the way they're rapping, what they're rapping and how they're doing it, same with singing, you've been actually appreciating the vocals and the lyrics. Props to you man, I really love what you're doing with these reaction videos :D

Omg, the legendary Blood, Sweat & Tears MV!!!! AHHHHHHHHH Hmmm.. I can't really explain BST here fully but this is based on a book, Demian by Hermann Hesse. And there is A LOT of symbolism here (Good and Evil, Temptation, Abraxas?, etc)

Welcome to BTS. Strap in and enjoy the ride. You have now entered the "there's a video that explains this video" era or stage.

😂 It’s so funny watching you discovering this aspect of their art! A man needs chaos in his heart to give birth to a star!

BTS IS ART! Elegant, spectacular, mysterious…EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO…GOLD. JIMIN, BREATHTAKING!

The look on your face was just priceless!!! This is the reason Army likes watching newbie reaction videos. (To be fair, this was probably the exact same look we had on our faces the first time we watched this.) It's important to note that BTS never does anything randomly. Everything has a meaning in their videos and it's fun for us to look for, and find, the hidden clues in each video. If you ever want to have a video explained, I suggest watching Bookish Theories. She really gets to the root of what each video means and what the boys are trying to convey to us plebs. "You nice - keep going!" 💜

Oh this song binds me to BTS forever. I use this in my Literary Analysis class for symbolism, imagery, and theme. This bust my students' heads off, and made some of them ARMY. This is about giving in to your dark side, temptations, losing innocence. And thanks for reading the German quote above Jin's mirror. That quote alone will help you understand the meaning of the songs. 💜

I'm glad you're getting to see BTS. I hear they're a pretty good group, you know all 7. Black Swan is definitely a song you should check out.

'Blood Sweat & Tears' is a song that shows how one thinks, chooses, and grows." Suga added that "the song conveys an optimistic determination to use our wings to go far, even if we encounter temptations in life." Lyrically, the song talks about the pain of addictive love.

Ladies go crazy when they perform Bapsae live. Not gonna say why though

I love when BTS reactors get to Blood Sweat and Tears, it is a turning point. I cheered when you started reading the German above the mirror, you nearly got the entire phrase and of all the reactors I have watch you are the only one to even notice it on the first watch. I really enjoyed your reaction, your quest for more rap and BTS will be fruitful.

I was the same. there’s so much symbolism in this mv. Basically it’s about good and evil and that even if you don’t wanna be evil, it’s part of life and eventually you gotta accept it.

Ladies, men, dogs, cats, mice, unicorns, plants, etc go crazy for them. LOL

there's a reason why even after 5 yrs armys can't get over this song

I am always amazed at how versatile the rapping is. They are always able to fit it in a way that is not jarring. It fits with the sound yet it is so very them. So much respect for exploring all kinds of genres YET including rap in all them seamlessly

"one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." it's a quote from nietzsche. the inspiration of this music video is the fight of temptation and the breaking free from one's innocence. ;) they also used demian by herman hesse (a novel). the song and the mv are heavy with biblical, philosophical, and literary references. welcome to the bangtan universe (fictional storyline of bts that goes all the way back to 2015 - having started with "I NEED U original version). 💜🔥

If you want to see what drives the ladies really crazy.. vocal lines dimples/pied piper and then there is bapsae... xD

This song made me become an ARMY and that's why I love this song so much , I've been ARMY since 2016 .

I think your reactions are really good I love how you said this is usually not my thing but it's dope 🤣🤣🤣 I was a hard-core metal,punk, new metal girl but I found BTS when I was in a low place and they really changed my life now I mainly listen to bts with some of my fave metal songs 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ like seriously they cater to so many genres of music and click with all these different people it's amazing. And their messages that they deliver about self love, and to not give up when something goes wrong are just amazing

It’s based on the book Demian by Hermann Hesse. It’s all about temptation and being caught between good and evil. The whole wings era is just 😙🤌🏼

Surprised the hell out of me when he read the quote!

You are so open-minded and I love it 💜 Can’t wait upcoming videos 🙌🏻

Blood sweat tears was definitely jimin era pple went craazy over him his intro, his moves, bis visual everything

"Ladies gonna go crazy" was very true 😂

This is one of my favourite MV to see people react to because there is SO much going on. And everyone picks up something different. Very impressed with the German. I also have a soft spot for Suga in this MV, he exudes swag and sexy confidence

Hi! I'll make a brief summary about BS&T. You are entering BU (Bangtan Universe), the lyrics are complex, and the MVs are full of details, In this song they talk about duality (good and bad), The picture that Jin sees at the beginning of the MV is a renaissance work entitled " The Fall of the Rebels Angels" (by Pieter Brugel the Elder). --There is much more information about this, which involves the Renaissance period, that is, the breaking of the period of darkness, this being the Middle Ages--. Then there's the living room scene, behind them another painting titled "The Lamentation of Icarus" (by Herbet James Draper), and notice the 5 hanging chandeliers, and 2 fallen ones, also with many meanings. Another moment, when V falls off a balcony, the painting in front of him entitled "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus". The message that RM utters is a passage from the book by the German Hermann Hess, released in 1919, entitled "Demian", the book speaks of the search for the "I", and of self-knowledge. The book plays a lot with duality, in which the main characters are friends Emil Sinclair and Demian, who practice good and bad. Finally, the German quote above the mirror reads: "Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, an einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können", ("Man must have chaos within him in order to be able to give to light to dancing stars"), by Friedrich Nietzsche, an author who greatly criticized Hermann Hess, showing us once again the duality in this work of art that is BL&T. I hope you like this brief summary, as I said, the music analysis is much more complex. RM and SUGA are geniuses, they read a lot of works to compose their songs and rap.

Welcome to theory territory lol , enjoy it is massively confusing

BTS has already recorded a new album, the main theme of which, according to Rap Monster, was the journey from childhood to adulthood. The title of the key track - Blood, Sweat & Tears ("Blood, Sweat and Tears") is not childish, gloomy at all, and the video for it is full of allusions that not every teenager will understand. In the video for Blood, Sweat & Tears, the band members appear as still children - this is especially noticeable in the first frames of the video. Suga rides his bike, Jimin is holding a slingshot, Jungkook is hanging on a swing eating lollipop, Jin appears in the frame with a balloon. However, with the development of the plot, children's games are modified. Instead of the slingshot that Jimin was holding, a bow and arrow appear in J-Hope's hands, Jungkook leaves the swing, Jin lets go of the balloon. One way or another, the members of the group symbolically say goodbye to childhood. Now other symbols appear in the frame: Jimin's apple refers us to the biblical idea of ​​original sin; Rap Monster drinks absinthe, bathing in a puff of smoke (probably opium) in a gloomy room. The statue of the angel is snow-white, but behind him are black wings. This is the symbol of imperfection: each of us carries both black and white, good and evil, child and adult, sin and its redemption. When Jin touches his lips to the statue's lips, he takes a deliberate step towards accepting his dual nature. The next shot - V with wings carved on the back carries the same meaning. A teenager, who is on the verge of growing up, with childish naivety, tries to close his eyes to the evil surrounding him. This inner struggle. Take a closer look at the dance performed by the guys: either closing their hands, then opening their eyes, ears, mouth, they show a desire to hide the unpleasant aspects of life from themselves. This movement is more vividly manifested in the scene with Jin: the band members cover his face with their hands, and then remove them - this is the moment of realizing and accepting life as it is, along with injustice, evil, temptation and imperfection. The same motif is repeated by shots in which the faces of the children are covered with flowing fabrics - this is how naive children's ideas about the world save us for the time being from external evil.

The pure confusion in your eyes... Lol. But hats off to you for keeping an open mind even if this isn't your kind of music!

Plus all of detail symbols in here are based on the novel "Demian - Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend" by Hermann Hesse

Your reaction when Jin kissed the statue😭🖖🏻😂

I like that they put jhope for chorus, its perfect

I really hope you get to know all the members well, I know rap is your passion but if you explore more you will realise the vocal members have equally interesting and talented in different ways!

Anthony, thank you for keeping an open mind. I can tell this is not your cup of tea, but you hung in there. I give you props. I’m excited for you to check out N.O., Not Today, Danger, We Are Bulletproof Pt 2. 💜

I like how u put effort to understand the hidden meaning behind their songs while enjoying the music rather than simply doing just the latter. Try to watch explanation vids of their MVs...u'll be blown away...

Yes, BS&T, the classic forever confusing reactors 😂 I didn't expect you to react to this just yet. Great Monday morning surprise to kick off the week. Glad you liked it in spite of all the confusion. Like everybody else said, it's connected to the BU and Demian. All the best!

the entire music video is beyond my brain capacity. All i know is its a masterpiece inspired by past Writers and thinkers. Have some elements of Evil and Good, Temptations, Sexual tensions. its so profound..... Theories armys, pls come to the rescue for this man...

This is one of my favorite songs by them, it’s really deep

His face when Jin was getting close to the statue is hilarious. Anthony was broken.

So glad I found this channel plus your raps fucking slap bro

This is from their Wings album for which they got their first daesang (major award) in 2016 for best album of the year at MMA and the MAMA artist of the year. First group not from a major label to get these. These are basically like the Grammy and Billboard awards in Asia. One of their best albums. Clip shows their shock getting it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pah8oc94v6m8pH0.html

BTS likes to make us suffer trying to find the hidden meaning behind their music. 😂

That guy with the perfect hair is Jeon Jungkook, the youngest and the most talented k-pop idol in the universe.

I could only imagine how much you'd be mind blown if you fell into the rabbit hole of the storyline of the entire BTS Universe.

i forgot how much i love watching people's minds break the first time they watch Blood, Sweat and Tears MV 😂😂😂

Your reaction at the end of the MV was literally US when it first premiered. WTF is going on? Even when we are in 2021, it is still remain mysteries. 😂

Passed out when you started reading that holy shit. Love your voice bro

His reaction at the end is all of us after watching BST for the first time 🤣

when u also learn about BU (BTS Universe) that will make ur mind blown!! all the stories are continued from one MV to another MV.

I have to say this: You, my dear, just fell into the rabbit hole 🤭 welcome 💜

he's literally loving them 💜

Omg thx for your genuine interest in Blood Sweat & Tears by our BTS!

You can react to "Dyonisus" of BTS ♡ i love your reactions And I love your deep voice 🛐💘

when i watched this mv for the first time was exactly equal to your reaction lol it was so confusing but so dope

I love when people watch BS&T and the break comes and they’re like 👁👄👁 it’s sooooo satisfying!

The song is about with age comes temptations of various varieties. So what you are seeing is an artist representation of those temptations during the different stages of boy to men and how those temptations shatter you at times and at times make you stronger or at least more knowledgable. It comes from a book RM read named Demian where he explores the temptations men can fall into and so he made that book into a song. That is what you watched. It was beautiful and yes a materpiece.

Thanks for reacting to music that goes outside of what you might typically listen to. If you’re really interested, like others have suggested, consider watching an explanation video because there is so much happening. This is one of my favorite videos. Check out Fake Love next.

When I wanted to know more about August D, I found this channel and you helped me so much 💜 Thank you and I really love your works 👍🏻

This song brought so many people into the fandom Wings album was a masterpiece

This is part of the Bangtan Universe storyline and the concept of this video is based on Hermann Hesse book "Demian". There are so many layers on this video. If you want to fully understand i will suggest you to check the video explanation by Exceleste.

It’s time to check their live performances. not disappoint

There is a TON of symbolism buried in art and religion if you don't watch a full explanation video you won't catch it all there is just so much but the short of it.. Think of this video as each member falling into temptation (the green is like poison) one by one and Jin was the last sealing his fate with the kiss

That's BTS! They leave you dumbfounded when their music video is finished

I have to be be honest in the KINDEST most endearing way...I genuinely laughed out loud several times at your "WTF IS GOING ON?!" comments - ONLY because I resonate exactly the SAME WAY...yet, I liked it..I left confused, bewildered, enchanted and excited all at the same time!! Hahahaa! Go BTS!! Whoo-Hoo!!

Anthony, don't get ARMY started with 'what's the meaning behind this? or 'what's happening?' Prepare yourself... 🙂 I got chills when you read the german quote! Love your channel.

You must see the explanation video to fully understand it and ITS DEEP!

In the MV the one with blond hair and the cut wings symbolizes Icarus (who burnt his wings). At the start we can see a painting of Icarus in the background of the room with chandeliers. V is the representation of temptation and he "infects" the members one by one. You can see it with them interacting with the color green throughout the video (green is the color associated with V in BTS). At the end the last one to decide if he gives in to the temptation or not is Jin and he decides to give in by kissing the statue.

From 9:20 🤣 I couldn’t help but laughed and laughed watching his expression. 🤣🤣🤣 That’s what I call a ‘REACTION’ 😂😂 Love this. Thanks 👍👍

when i saw BST on your reaction list, i was like: damn, he's going top tier difficulty level... def a challenging brain twister lol! there are videos on YT that delve deep into the interpretation of the lyrics (which i'm sure you've already come to learn of by now:). btw, RM (who is very well read, is a regular contributor to arts museums/literature and is literally a genius w/ an IQ of 148), Suga and J Hope co-wrote BST.

HIP HOP LOVER-BTS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

And that is BTS my sir. Deep, layers, poëtic. And People think they are Just a boyband!! 🤯🤯💜💜🇱🇺🇱🇺 Love ure reactions ❤

Dude. You are on another level... The way you started translating that. You are so cultivated, and smart and amazing and sincere For real, your videos are on repeat on my phone daily

Love the reaction.. thank you. You 're able to capture things others missed. Please check and react to Dionysus too

I was watching your reaction and my mom suddenly popped out and said is that Ryan Reynolds is reacting to bts omg,,,, lol you're actually so good looking anyways pls react to baepsae and spine breaker too, I'm sure you'll love it

Entire mv is around...the statue... that's related to the movie Black swan....with Natalie. Second the wings of V....and the whole MV is based on the book that really hit RM...Demian by hermen hasse.

Its about the temptation between good and evil. The picture in the beginning was the great battle of fallen angels. On the sides notice the black door and the white door. It has references from the novel damion. And in the end losing to the temptation with Jin kissing the statue with the cut off wings and the chaos that results from it. That why the statues cracked, two different flowers in the mirror, and then his face cracking.

You should watch the explaination for this. This MV is very deep. You'll be surprise. 😊

Pls react to suga's song "what do you think ?" You will really really love it .it's definitely your type of music and blood sweat and tears is a really deep song and mv 😂

bts has a "worldview" there connected to the worldview that begins with " wha yang yeon hwa(the most beautiful and happiest time in life)" series.

His reaction was cute when he was confused, actually me too when the first time watching BST MV

IDK if anyone has recommended it or if you've seen it already or not, but just in case I really think you should watch Jhope's Boy Meets Evil. It is so very good and one of my fav BTS songs. Jhope shows a side of himself I'm not sure you've seen and I think you'll enjoy it! The MV is really good but his live performance of it is insane!

Please, please do Baepsae, it's awesome. Also try On Kinetic Manifesto 💜

OMG!!! The confusion on you face.))😂😂😂 It was way too early for you to watch this video. There is a LONG story line going on in BTS music videos. This one is representing the loss of innocence and growth of a person. It is inspired by a book “Damian” where the story is about the child maturing and experiencing all sides of life. Also there are Greek mythology and many other things in there. All you need to know it’s deep and you can’t unpack it in first time. Many fans watch it dozens of times to pick up all the details and symbols. But thank you for your reaction! 💜💜💜

Blood sweat and tears FAKE LOVE RUN I NEED U Spring Day Daechwita are all breathtaking masterpieces of a music Video! On another Level!!!Like they are really higest class movies 👌💜

you'll have to research the meaning of the song, super deep!

Do August D “People “ and BTS “Silver Spoon” please!

lmao this is my favorite video to watch people react to because we all take the same WTF journey at the end

Watching your honest reaction to these is soooo refreshing. Reliving them through your eyes is dope AF.
