[ the story behind 'The Truth Untold' song by BTS ] “This garden is filled With blossoming loneliness I tied myself To this sand castle filled with thorns” - The Truth Untold The 'Smeraldo' is a fictional flower. It doesn't exist in real life but the flower symbolizes the 'sincerity that cannot be delivered'. An ugly man was living in an old castle all by himself. He was all alone when he grew up. Because of the criticisms and hateful words he received, he never opened his heart to anybody. He's making a living by taking care of his flowers and his plants on his garden. “What is your name? Do you even have a place to go? Oh could you tell me? I saw you hiding in this garden” - The Truth Untold Until one night, a woman sneaked a flower from his garden. He was fuming mad but he let it pass since it's her first time sneaking a flower from his garden. But the woman did it again so the man always pretend like he was asleep while waiting for the woman until he became curious about her. He didn't noticed that he's been acting weird becauze of her. Until one day, he decided to follow the girl on her way to the small village and he found out why she's neen sneaking from his garden. He found out that the girlis selling it to make a living. “A flower that resembles you Blossomed in this garden of loneliness I wanted to give it to you As I take off this stupid mask But I know This can’t go on forever I must hide Because I’m ugly” - The Truth Untold He fell in love with the girl but he doesn't have the courage to confess his feelings because of his ugly face. He was scared that he might frighten the girl because of his face. “What I can do is To make a pretty flower That resembles you Blossom in this garden, in this world Then breathe as the person you know But I still want you I still want you” - The Truth Esmeraldo To help her make a living, he decided to grew a flower that only exists on his garden so she can sell it in a highly.price because of its uniqueness and that's the 'Smeraldo' flower. He planted fhe flower for her so he can sell more flowers with an expensive price and it's also his way of confessing his love for her. “Maybe back then If I had just a little more Courage And stood before you Would everything be different now? I’m crying At this sandcastle That’s disappearing And breaking down As I look at this broken mask And I still want you But I still want you But I still want you And I still want you” - The Truth Untold He waited and waited for the girl to come back but she never did. He waited until he found out that the girl has died and that's how their story ended. Smeraldo - 'a sincerity of a man's love for a woman that he cannot deliver.' crdts: eilidh jung Btw, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece. This is one of my comfort song♡♡♡

totally agree it is their best because it´s so clear. and it is the same for all of the performances. how is that even possible? i think in one of them jimin lost his voice because he was sick, and was crying because he didn´t want to disappoint the fans but army sang his part for him and that made him cry even more. it was so sweet

Jungkook has the most beautiful and calming voice,he have that cantrol on his voice he literally play with it the way he wants effortlessly, he is born to be one of the greatest singer of this Era PERIOD

Their vocals…🥺

I love all there vocal especially my happy pill jk...but i need to admit on this song jin and jimin nailed it... High note by jin is killing part.... The sweet voice of jimin make me cry...

I know I'm not the only one who says " this song is one of my comfort songs" the reason is because the vocals are so smooth and in a way comfating to listen too aswell. The entire vocal line did an amazing job and their voices are perfect for this type of song. Also the live performance is also so comfating to watch and you can see members emotions shine through as they sing

everyone has their favs to pick out for vocals but I can't because all of them everyone are beautiful in there parts. adlibas and all JKs the harmonies are on another level that's for sure. a surely one of my favs

지민~~~😢😢😢👏👏👏!

Jin’s vocals and high notes are so outstanding and powerful ❣️.

They another collab with Aoki is call waste on me and is jk with RM

This is my favourite vocal line song and has been since the moment I heard it. It's insanely beautiful

jin💜

One of the prettiest songs Ever. Have you heard Jin sing Epiphany. Awesome song

BTS got nominated for best vocal performance at MAMA 2022 . And I just saw many kpop fans being mad over it today and saying they don’t deserve it. I really don’t understand why they think this way . BTS literally has the best vocal line ever along with the best rap line. They are not the biggest group in the whole world for nothing .

jin💜💜💜💜💜💜

Jungkooks vocals and adlibs are insane

Hats off to RM for his beautiful lyrics 💙💜

V he voice❤❤❤😢😢

Still remember, when i first heard this song, i cried the whole night thinking about the sad story behind this song. 🥺 Thank you for reacting. Do more bts reaction. Love you 💜

i still cry every time i listen to this song😞

This song is from the "Love Yourself" era and kind of emphasises the importance of loving yourself. The boys and their company drew reference from the story of Smeraldo, a variation of the Beauty and the Beast story. However, there is not a happy ending to this story. It represents an entangled love story surrounding the Smeraldo which is estimated to have taken place around the 15th-16th centuries in the city of “La Citta di smeraldo”. According to various sources, the story supposedly has a tragic ending filled with yearning, sadness and sincerity that could not be delivered. According to the story, there once lived a man. He lived in a secluded castle in La Città di Smeraldo. There is not much information about the man except that he was the ‘love child’ of the duke of Florence who fell in love with a poor gardener’s daughter. She passed away at childbirth due to excessive bleeding leaving the man alone in the world. Being a child born out of wedlock, he was the source of misery to the wife and children of the duke, who tried to kill the poor boy. As a result, the duke sent him to a place further away. There were many rumours, but none was revealed. It is said the man alone hid in solitude at the old castle and wore a mask because he was very ‘ugly’. Probably because of all the hatred and jealousy he received as he lived, he didn’t open his heart to anyone. When anyone tried to approach him, he would hide away in anger and distrust. He shut himself from the world. Both his body and his heart. His only joy was to grow flowers in his garden. It made him happy and peaceful. But things took a beautiful turn. A turn which would be a moment of beauty within the memories at the corner of his head. A turn that would leave a sorrowful scar his heart forever and bring in tears to his eyes. Fate was playing on him. One day, a girl appeared in front of him near the vicinity of his castle. She was in ragged clothes. As he watched, the girl picked up the heels off the garden fence, climbed over it, and stole some flowers. The man was mad as a hornet at first. He was mad at her for stealing his precious flowers. He spent his whole night guarding the flowers. But in his brief moment of sleep, the girl picked up some flowers and ran away. Several nights continued to pass like that until the man pretended to be asleep and watched the girl go. He was curious. Who was she? Why does she steal my blooming pretty flowers every night? Without realising it, the man waited for the girl and followed her one night. He disguised himself with a cloak and followed her. After following her to a village, he realised why she stole flowers in his garden every night. He found out that the girl sells these flowers because she is very poor and has no other way to provide a living for herself. He felt very bad for her. Guilt filled him up. The man wanted to help the girl. He wanted to teach her every method of growing flowers he knew. He wanted to teach her how to grow beautiful flowers. He was slowly falling in love with her. The man started growing many flowers for her and made sure they were of the best quality. He wanted to show up in front of her. Tell her of his feelings towards her. But, he knew he could not show up in front of her. She would be scared of him. He must hide. Because he was ugly. She would not love his ugly appearance. So he never got the courage to confront her At the end, the only thing he could do was to grow and take care of the flowers so that she would keep coming to his garden. With time, he decided to himself that he would grow the most expensive flower (the Smeraldo) for her to sell. That was the only way he would unveil his sincerity to her. He locked himself in the castle. After many attempts, he succeeded in making the flower. The flower was very beautiful. It was something that never existed in the world. Afterward, he filled his garden with the flower and waited till nightfall for the girl to return. He waited and waited for the girl to come back to the garden to steal the flower. But the girl did not return. She was nowhere to be seen. No matter how much he waited, the girl wouldn’t return to his garden. It made him anxious. He later visited the village he had followed her to before. He was afraid. Afraid that she would leave him in the end. So he decided to wear a mask and go to see her. Unfortunately, he found out that the girl had died. Thus the flower language of the Smeraldo is as such: ‘non-potevo dire la verità’ or ‘the truth that could not be told’, which is also the title of the song. The story teaches us much more than just heartbreak. It teaches so much about being scared to show your true self. Because of his low self-esteem, the "Beast" didn't show himself to the girl and, instead, decided to try and create a new flower for her. If he hadn't been so convinced that she would reject him that he never actually approached her, then he might have been able to help her and prevented her death. It i the "truth untold" because he never told her how he felt about her. All of this, just to encourage people to love themselves. BTS along with Steve Aoki produced this song from the viewpoint of the “beast” in the story. The song touches various emotional components revealing the untold sincerity of the man. It taps into the sorrow in a vulnerable approach. “The Truth Untold” is the second collaboration between Aoki and the Korean boy band. It follows his remix of BTS’ “Mic Drop.”

Jimin’s voice is my heaven

Gets me in the feels every time I hear this....the song that brought me to BTS during the pandemic

Ahhhh i have so many memories with this songgg last year when i was going through a really hard time i listened to this song sooo much for like 5-6 months😭😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖

BTS "House of Cards LIVE"

BTS funny tik tok reaction plz

I got "The Truth Untold" from 2 of the reactors I enjoy the most on KZfaq; and its only Tuesday. Gonna be a good week. 💜 Your eyes when the song opened, your eyebrows when Jin started, then your smile when Jimin came in. Your face is so expressive, in the best possible ways. Watching you experience a range of emotions, which I feel like all ARMY do when first hearing TTU, was lovely. Such a beautiful, song. No matter how many times I hear it, I mist up; if I don't full on shed some tears. BTS is a once in a lifetime group. Thank you for continuing to allow us to follow your journey; and for appreciating them no matter what genre they're giving us. 💜

I love this song so much! BTS's vocal line is very charming. When I first listened to it, I immediately fell in love with this song. 🥰💜

When this song came out , it was on repeat. I loved it so much . It's still one of my best favourite.

please react to my time lyrics and stage mix by jungkook!!

Love this Song❤

Honestly you should've done an explanation on this one cause the story these lyrics tell is amazingly heartbreaking

Oh The Truth Untold is extraordinary: the music, the lyrics and their performance. Their vocals at their best. It is funny that you haven´t react to this after so much time doing your reactions. This is a classic. How can they sound better live than in studio. They are spectacular

Such a great reaction. 💜 And this is also a masterpiece of our leader, RM. He created this based on a story. The story behind The Truth Untold is called ‘La Città di Smeraldo’ {the emerald city}, which takes place in a small town in Italy in the 16th century. This heartbreaking story is about an ‘ugly’ man who has locked himself into an ancient castle to hide himself from the world because he had received a lot of cruelty while growing up. Therefore, he tried to hide from people. The only thing that he confided in and loved was to plant flowers in his garden that surrounded the castle. One day, a woman had trespassed into the garden and stolen a flower. The man was angry so he watched the garden from the castle all night. Unfortunately, when he slept the woman came again and stole another flower. Then after this happening for a few days, the man decided to fake his sleep and and watch the woman steal the flower. Without him knowing, he became more interested in the woman and began waiting for her to steal a flower every night. This was until he followed her one day to the small town and found out that she was selling the flowers from his garden to earn her living. He wanted to help the woman so much but was afraid that she wouldn’t like him because of his ‘ugly’ appearance. So he thought the only way he could help was to keep growing the flowers in his garden for her to steal and sell on. He decided that he wanted to create a flower that didn’t exist on the planet so that the woman could sell it for an expensive price. The Smeraldo flower. The man tried many times to make the flower and after many tries, he finally created the Smeraldo flower and filled his garden with it. But the woman stopped coming. He waited and waited but he found out she had died.

(from user Yumiko Naru on a KZfaq comment) This song is based on an Italian classic story called La Citta di Smeraldo. It's the story of a man who lived in a castle and kept to himself because he thought himself to be ugly. One day, a woman came near his castle and picked his flowers. He was angry at first but eventually became curios and waited for her. He found out that she was actually selling those flowers for a living. The man fell in love but didn't want to show himself because he was "too ugly" (you know that I can't show you me,give you me). So he decided to plant a flower that didn't exist on the planet so she could sell it at an expensive price. Eventually he managed to fill his garden with them but the woman stop coming. He then learned that she died. That part where they sing, "but I still want you” is about him regretting not telling her his feelings all because he didn't love himself first.

Heya, please more bts content!
