do you guys think this song can be a big hit in korea?

Some people say this music video is the tribute for the Sinking of MV Sewol (The ferry capsized while carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students) The yellow ribbon Hanging the shoes means death and the shoes in the video are school shoes. Jimin holding the shoes at the beach Lots of clothes means lots of people The washing machine looks like the cabins The paper on the washing machine says "Don't forget" The lyrics say"I miss you" and "my best friend" And BTS and Big Hit donated one hundred million korean won to the victims' families.

*This is the Reason why Spring Day refuse to come down from the Charts*

Besides In this music video, Rap monster standing in the train and then train start to tilt(just like the ferry) And in the Sinking of MV Sewol's documentary one of the victim's mother said"This spring seems to be full of sadness, because this is the last season they spent " One of the scene in the documentary is a pair of shoes at the seaside

OMG the comment section is overflooding!! Tried to answer you guys real time but i think i need thirteen hands for that!! Among the comments im seeing a lot of interesting theories! Indeed this MV can be seen and deciphered in many ways! BTW the SEWOL FERRY DISASTER THEORY caught my eyes and i was so shocked cuz it seems pretty right!!! Anyways im looking into other theories as well so keep throwin them!! And to be frank i dont actually hav a bias in BTS yet (maybe it takes longer to have one in a boy group than a girl group lol) but after this video im slightly leaning towards Jimin or V. -DAV

The pile of clothes is maybe a reference to Christian Boltanski - "Personnes", art installations in Paris. Here a review : "[...] They were young, they were old, they were not ready to die, poor departed souls who leave nothing behind but shucked garments. Mown down, laid out in groups, they have all met a terrible end. This is apparent without a single bloodstain or name; Boltanski's evidence is both more and less than proof. And as you walk, the sense is of honouring the dead, of trying to observe the details of each and every one. These grouped clothes may represent mass graves, or corpses arrayed for identification in the school gym, but they also constitute a kind of cemetery. For the experience is just the same: that there is nobody here and yet the place is crowded. Personnes, the piece is called: people, but at the same time no one. [...]" Laura Cumming, The Guardian. People think it's a symbol about the tragic Sewol Ferry accident. The shoes that Jimin picked up on the beach, brought by the sea belong to a victim (his girlfriend like you said, brother, sister, best friend (V's line in the song) etc), which is why Jimin looks so sad during the whole MV. Unfortunately, many koreans lost someone that day but "you never walk alone". In the end Jimin wasn't alone but with his friends. All the members were alone at the beginning of the MV but not at the end. BTS tries to comfort people with their music. YNWA album & SD are a healing album/song. Also you're probably right with the shoes on the tree, symbol of death. So many theories. BTS recently donated money to the victims' families. So many innocent people died that day :( Great reaction. I love Spring Day. Hope it's a success in Korea. I'm also born in August ;)

I heard this video had alot of symbolism to the Sewol tragedy. Like when Jimin was holding the shoes looking at the ocean. And when jungkook was standing in front of the marry-go-round thing there was alot of yellow ribbons tied around it a symbol for the Sewol tragedy victims. I think this video is overall talking about dealing with grief and how to over come grief.

David: " oh suga is brushing his teeth, is it because he ate too much sugar?" Me: *lmao*😂😂😂

lmao yall are best friends and you don't even know each other's birthday 😂

snowpiercer is a good movie i can't believe you guys mentioned it

Am I the only one who thinks that actually the meaning of the song is not about love (like in a relationship)? Like I feel its about friendship *sorry for my english*

here after three years when we all know what spring day was all about,and what a queen she is ,still on charts and then am reading theories here in comments thinking damn we were right,we are intellectuals,,like it feels so special,,,

this is about the sweol ferry incident. the pile of clothes is the clothes from all the people who died. the shoes that washed up on the beach and jimin picked up are the shoes of the people who died. the laundry machine tilting sideways means the boat is tilting over. the yellow ribbons in the scene where jungkook is standing still and the people are moving, represent people who died. and jungkook sees himself they know they are deas, and finally the hanging of the shoes represent the person who died and for them to leave in peace..

it's been years but my heart still can't enough of you queen, spring day. i feel so melancholic tonight, drugged and idk, lost maybe. this song is my "go-to" when my life's falling apart, and i'm here witnessing it. i love this song so much.

Guys, the song and mv talks about friendship and youth. About how we grow up and we don't see our friends like we used to, since life goes on and we become busier and busier with our own lives. Is basically about missing our friends and the good times we had. Rap Mon references Snowpiercer (Joon-Ho Bong's film) in the lyrics, in the film almost everyone in the world dies due to the harsh cold, and the few that survived live on a train that goes around the world non stop, while there is only winter throughout the year. The song is called Spring Day since in lyrics Rap Mon says he wants to put an end in this eternal winter and wishes spring days to come. They also referenced the book The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas in the mv, I didn't finish read it yet but it's about an utopic city were everyone is happy while a kid is forced to be miserable so that everyone else gets to be happy. In my opnion they are criticing the fast fashion industry in the pile of clouthes, since brands only do bussiness with the cheapest factories on third world countries, without safety and good work conditions. So that people in develop countries can consume and turn a blind eye to whats really happening.

You guys are right on the money! Only thing to add is that it pays homage to the families who lost their loved ones in the Sewol Ferry disaster notice the shoes wash up on the shore (they came from the ocean) and they pay their respects by throwing them up in the tree😀

NICE THEORY. This MV is so aesthetic and wonderful. I LOVED SUGA'S PART

In my country we have the traditional "spring cleaning" every year where we throw and clean out the old to make room for the new. It might be why the title is spring day, if you have that tradition too.

This song is our Queen Spring Day! Never left the chart in Korea since that day💜🙏

"Bo Go Ship Da" never sounded much sweeter, heart-warming and cool, all at the same time, than this!! Especially when RapMon rapped it in the beginning. This is truly a beautiful song and matches sweetly with the music video.

i heard the mv is about SEWOL INCIDENT :(( so sad TT

Again, SUPER WEIRD to go back and watch these reactions now (2021)... "will it be a hit?" Hello from the future... Spring Day has yet to leave the charts in Korea. :)

It's about the disenfranchised youth of Korea (and the world) who are contemplating suicide; don't do it, even though you're lonely, depressed and want to give up. Keep on holding on. I'll be there for you, I'll wait out the winter with you.

I feel like a lot of Suga went into this song, the varying strong symbolism is definitely a trademark for him, he's hella lyrical.

when V's lines "best friend", it looks like you guys are going to cry

I watched the theory of this song in XCELESTE,, it's hearthbreaking... Uts dedicated to a ferry tradegy, i really cried...

AND THERE I GO CRYING AGAIN! That's the magic of Spring Day. Every time I hear it-even if it's in a reaction-I cry.

This song hits so different in this quarantine 💜 Each and everyone can connect to it💜

And here we are four years later.

The Sewol Ferry theory fits this MV well.

I love how you guys get analytical in every bts music videos, love your reactions!❣️

hmmm I read/watched/thought about a few theories already but I really like this one. Connecting it to Omelas though, it could be about a transition from one phase in life into another. In BTS' case it's probably that moment in life when you're figuring things out. Like when you're young you're so sure about what you want to be, this is the utopia in Omelas. Then comes the period in your youth when you're just so lost and the dream "left" you that's the transition that is the winter, the being alone part. You're missing you, the previous you. Eventhough it's hurting and uncomfortable you just hold on and wait till spring comes by (like the snowpiercer theory). But then in the end when you find that spring you're a completely different person. So eventhough you're holding on to that self from the beginning, at the same time you're changing and growing. You gave your "blood, sweat and tears" to the "devil" in this case life. In the end, that innocent you in the beginning is dead and at some point you say good bye. (someone spend too much time analysing ._.)

I don't know why, but the laundromat and the pile of laundry they link right? Because they do their laundry, so if they are hoarding the laundry, they are hoarding memories? And when Jin stares at the washing machine, he's watching the memories of the person he misses. I'm so lost I don't know anymore.

This is actually about estranged friends. RM and Suga composed most of this song and In article they mentioned that It's about estranged friends and based on their personal expriences. But That's about only the SONG, the theory of the mv will be lil bit different... like more profound and every single scene has meaning. It's about the 'Omelas.'

It's interesting to look back at your reactions to BTS prior to being a huge channel with decoding their MVs for us International fans. Before you knew it had something to do with the Ferry disaster. The fact that this song stays in the Korea charts as of 2023.

Why does everyone seem to know that Snowpiercer reference? I never heard of that movie until I read an interpretation for Spring Day. Anyway, I know this is an old video, but I think it's about the loss of our beloved one, not necessarily a romantic interest, could be due to death or any farewell. The song is about coping with loss. Suga' rap implies the contradicting emotions he feels: he misses the person, but he is also resentful that he wants to blame them for leaving. It was like asking, why did you go? If you didn't go, I would not be like this. But then he realized it wasn't right. They are gone, and it's time for him to let go, "instead of continue blaming you". The "I" in the song gradually accept the unavoidable, but it was in hopeful tone. He believes to continue enduring and going through the hardships of life. The part where it asked to wait a little longer is about perseverance and hope. When it feels like there is no more hope, you still need to hold on and try to stretch as long as you can.

the cinematography is amazing! Lumpens is on another level!

Wow! Danny totally outdid David doing theory time! 😄😄😄😄

I heard that spring day was about The sinking of MV Sewol, also called the Sewol ferry disaster, occurred on the morning of 16 April 2014 .... on the carousel It looked like the same yellow ribbons that were tied along the chain link fence for all of the victims when they finally brought the Sewol ferry back up to exam it . The shoes Jimin found on the beach represents the shoes of all the students that were found on the ferry when the divers went down to recover bodies . Jin looking up the stairwell taking a picture was because the students were recording their last moments and also because the rescuers were not allowed to enter the boat but they could see the students through the windows of the ferry but could not save them and watching the drown . Hence the washing machine scene. The mountain of clothes was suppose to represent all of the students luggage and clothes that was pulled from the ferry to be identified by parents of the victims . The train at the beginning was suppose to represent the ferry . There are many indications during the MV this was written specifically for sewol ferry disaster. I could go into further detail about the video ... but I leave it on this note ...The incident could have been prevented and so sad that the president at the time did not do more to prevent the incident. She allowed all of those students to perish . I honestly wished this was a time when ppl had not listened to an authority figure and they would have jumped.... I would have been terrified to have jumped off a boat, building or anything but most of those ppl who drowned with that ferry could have been saved had they of done so ....

V's part : "You know it all, you're my best friend" I think rap mon said, if you have a friend you haven't talk to for a long time, this song will make you want to connect with them again and start to call them or something like that

Hola 2024 ,, las canciones de BTS son Arte 💜💜💜

The Mountain of clothes with suga it's like "Venere degli stracci" of Pistoletto, an italian contemporary artist. He's very famous. But the second thing i thought was the spring cleaning ahahah

Wow this video it's 3 years ago and l know BTS just 6 months ago. 🤨🧐☹️. I will watch all your videos of BTS, l like your reaction videos😍. Big hug from Spain🇪🇸😊

MAJOR props to BigHit's writers, camera people, directors, producers, and everyone behind every comeback of BTS. I mean they never disappoint, moreover, they always outdo their previous comebacks and grows progressively. I love how aesthetic and deep every MVs are although I hate thinking a lot on MVs, but hey, they piqued my curiosity and that's okay. :))) And also I did kinda felt the BLUE vibe while listening to it. And may I just add that the timelapse effect is quite popular in MVs now like I've seen it in Day6's I Wait, Suzy's Yes No Maybe, and now here. Is it the new trend? I don't know but I am loving it. An IGOT7xVIP here showing support. :)

“Dirty laundry” is like a euphemism for “your skeletons in the closet” or “the ghosts of your past” It’s like something you hide the best you can until one day somebody finds out

I definitely love your mv explanations especially as Korean people I love the m your take on them they are incredibly useful and eye opening. I am not really all that surprised that you are ending the MV reactions bc everyone does them even reactors who are not necessarily genuine fans but I love the explanations, keep them up please because they are so straightforward, simple but enlightening! 👍😊

I love all the theories that was discussed. It made your videos more interesting to watch. Great job guys!!

Wow danny surprises me!! Your theory makes sense and i love it bcs it is not as complicated/deep as other theories 😅

"it is because he ate too much sugar?" OMG IM YELLING

I love your reactions because you react understanding the lyrics which makes you realise the talent

Since inception Spring Day has her throne her in the charts. She lives there💟

I’m rewatching this and the fact that we know what it’s about-i’m heartbroken once again.

I love RM rapping! It is so high level! Honestly, I think BTS are famous because of RM! They are nothing without him! Hanging shoes like this, in Europe means that there are drug dealers so you can buy drugs. 😂

I like the theory that you guys came up with and I think you two are definitely up to something! The MV was beautifully shot, the aesthetics and visuals were on point as well! The song itself is so heart warming and sweet!

I love watching your first BTS video till now when your literally waiting for releases like the rest of us. I’ll have to check out one of your most recent BTS videos. Its cool seeing that I’m. It the only one who was like “oh hey they are cool and progressive” and ended up down the BTS Rabbit hole.

David was like No it ain't jimin LOL

Your reactions are so cute and I really like your interpretation/explanation of the song!

You are so great duo! Greetings from Tricity in Poland 😘 bts are amazing! I am over 35 yold but in Army 😍😎🤗🤩

Waited for it! Thank you❣

This queen us now top 1 in Melon, our queen's revival. SPRING DAYYY

love your guys theories

Thank you as always for your reactions

same spring day gives me a bigbang vibe!

Loving the fact that you guys know what they mean!!

멤버들의 말로는 이번 노래의 가사가 사랑이 아니라 우정에 대한 이야기라 하네요ㅋㅋ 그리고 피땀눈물은 데미안에서 차용해 온 컨셉이였는데 이번 뮤직비디오는 '오멜라스를 떠나는 사람들'이란 소설과 연관되어 있다는것 같아요~

I'm truly like your theory about the train

People think that the members represent something. -JHope represents Hope. -Taehyung means Death. -Jungkook is the victim. -RM is the time. -Jimin is Jungkook's friend. -Jin means life. -Suga is despair. JHope was sitting and the sunset bloomed on his face. When Jungkook was sitting on the train, sleeping, Tae was on the tracks. Taehyung means death. That's why he laid on the tracks. It wasn't suicide. It meant that Jungkook was going to die. But, RM was time. So, when RM was on the train, death to Jungkook would happen later. Jimin on the beach held shoes. Shoes meant death. Since Jungkook was about to have his death, Jimin held the shoes. That's why the shoes on the tree was there. When (I think) Jin and 2 others were on the laundry thingy, Jin feels trapped. He is life but Jungkook was about to die. He can't release himself. That's why he was in the little box. Full of life but without Jungkook. (THEORY 2) Suga sat on the shoes of despair for Jungkook. (But people also think it's the deaths of students/adults who passed away on the Sewol Ferry incident. All the wet clothes. Suga felt despair for Jungkook. Anyways, moving on. When they were all together, Taehyung was missing. Because Jin was there with RM. Jimin was waiting for Jungkook but I think that Jungkook knew he was about to die (?). But, what about JHope? JHope meant hope, as you already knew. Hope in Jungkook wasn't there. That's why Hobi couldn't come out when he was with Jin on the washing thingy. They all met soon and in a scene, there was only 6 members there. Tae was missing but.. In the next scene, Tae was there again. Meaning that it was time for Jungkook's death. That's all I know! But, this is all fictional. Hopefully this helped you a bit! (But, we have a theory about the Sewol Ferry.)

omg your theory about the mountain of clothes makes sense thanks! i was so confused because some says that it's connected to the seoul ferry disaster but don't know

i wish you guys wouldve reacted to the spring day explained video but I'm 3 Years late🥺 it literally explains every second of spring day

Also the song talks about missing someone dear like a father or who ever,I even saw lots of idols crying to the song in award shows

I just saw a theory for this song on a channel called “bulletproof vibes” and its freaking amazing

I love watching your videos. I don't know Korean, so it's cool to watch someone who understands the lyrics. I watched your Blood, Sweat, and Tears reaction and your concept theory was awesome.

The guy in the stripes is ALWAYS SPOT ON. I think he's a long time kpop fan cuz he knows the history of where the idea came from, or what bits inspired the videos.. love it. I like big bang too and this reminded me of blue, but Koreans are geniuses at reinventing concepts.. Cue.. HONG GIL DONG..

This song always gives me goosebumps.... 😭🌼

Oh my gosh, too many good theories, and I'm crying now

오멜라스라는 단어가 뮤비에서 나온것처럼 이번노래는 우리 행복한 삶속에 고통받고있던 소수자들을 위한 노래라죠ㅠㅠㅠ아무튼 리액션해주셔서 감사합니다 재밌게 잘봤어요!

SONG OF THE YEAR

BTS rock ,Happy Valentines day my V 😍😍😍😍😍

y’all are amazingly smart

Omg yeees i love your reaction to bts

this should be a thing now (i think it's already a thing before but lol wtvr). like in every reaction for bts's mvs there should also be an additional theory that the reactors came up with bc bts's mvs are so . . . bts(?) 😂 their mvs are so creative and i sometimes hate it when some people dont see the story behind it or even appreciate the effort spent on it lmao

Danny is really genius)) Your theory about “snowpiercer” is similar to the idea of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas".

리액션 넘 죠아요💗

I've been following you guys for quite some time and this is the best reaction video you have filmed so far; Shared! :)

Loved the song and must say ur reaction is the best(happened to watch other video reaction to this song)...u both r genius to analyse the depth if this video..

i love this song

Hi guys, maybe you just saw it already, but if you check out the meaning of this MV, it is basically a kind of a tribute to the people who died in the ferry incident dat took place in korea where students on a school drowned on their trip to jeju-do a couple of years ago.

Actually it's not about lovers rather about the individual... how that there is change in reality and that you keep moving forwards. You realise yourself and know you can trust yourself so you are not alone. Also you are not alone because there are many people who are like you that struggle but only keep running forwards. This song is really sincere, hopeful and comforting for youths😊

Bless you for saying "lover"~

I was glad you mentioned Snowpiercer coz the 1st part really reminded me of the film

Gosh I love this reaction 😭💞

hapi birthday david !!

The pile of clothes is the victims clothes from mv sewol most of the passengers are highschool students 😢 i just watched the spring day theories and i cried 😭

Really love your Seoul City Vibes videos. keep it up oppa ~

You have some interesting theories! Thanks for another great video.

Thanks for your great channel and review It's so hard to get good content in English Good job!

real friends dont know each others birthdays 😂😂😂😂

The theory about the snow piercer stuff and not being able to get out adds up to the sewol sinking theory

이번에두 잘봤슴당 !! 저두 저 설국열차랑 옷 쌓여있는게 무슨의민가 했는데.. 대니말이 딱 맞는거같아여 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

it's currently 4:45 am but i just watched all of your BTS reactions (and many more, to be honest) and i am mind blown. i'm an army but i never really thought about the theory that you guys created! i really really liked it. i love your reactions! you guys are extremely funny omg i can't stop laughing when i watch your anitta reactions kkk also, it doesn't really matter to me if i'm seeing stuff from months ago, i ALWAYS have a good time watching your videos please keep up the good work ^^ love from brazil!!
