To me, the autotune /rap and then Jimin singing is like a conversation. It's so amazing. Then next level dancing. Wow!

I don't know if anyone has expressed the same, but this song is Jimin's poetic/artistic expression of his journey -- the pains, the struggles, the tensions. Its his story as BTS and as Jimin the solo artist. The musical arrangement with the choir singing, the distortion -- all of that match the lyrics and the choreo (fingers pointing at him & him going down & up the spiral). ALL of it recreates and conveys his story. He is finally free. The music halts, and Jimin appears in white. It's not my usual genre, but how can you not be enthralled by such artistic masterpiece.

The auto tune gives a contrast to Jimin's voice... It's like two or more demons trying to fool him/ talk to him/ tempt him but his real self fight back... Others say that they hate it, but for me, it's LEGENDARY... Haters really have time to check this masterpiece when they can't even give time for their faves... Sorry not sorry, but the song is perfect, no buts, no why's, just PERFECT... JIMIN PUNCHED HIS HATERS deep within and they are bitter now...

A masterpiece!!!!!! I discover new angles everytime I watch the MV. He will be at Jimmy Fallon on the 23 and 24th match. The german poem tattooed is amazing and deep. The dance practice is already available and it's amazing. At the end Jimin emerges free from all the shadows, purified and like a butterfly. References to BTS songs. Fantastic reaction! 💜

Jimin sings 'raise your hands to the old me.' There are alot of nods to their old songs here. Lie, Filter, Dope, On, Butterfly, BS&T, etc. I think this is Jimin saying this was the old him, now set him free. Expect a new Jimin from here on out.

7:56 Personally I think this choreography is a reference to Rilke's poem written on his body: I Live In Ever-widening Cirkles. But that's the beauty of interpretation: It's different for everyone. 💜

JIMIN SLAYED SO HAAAARDDDD

Volvió un JIMIN maduro, seguro, liberado listo para mostrar un poderoso solista dejando atrás las penurias y al miedo de no poder. Llega con su luz propia para nunca apagarse y estamos emocionada y como Mamá ARMYS orgullosa de su ángel ❤️ Exitos mi vida vuela alto es tu momento!!!

Love how Jimin incorporated so many things. Nod to Yoongi's Set Me Free single from his mixtape, reiterating lyrics from BTS On "got to go insane to stay sane" and parallels of being set free from BTS 'golden cage' (trapped in the idol image & everything that goes with the life of an idol which may restrict them from being their full selves). Lots of interpretation about being set free - can be about Jimin's personal struggles ie letting go of all his doubts and uncertainties The orchestral arrangement and background choir gives this song a powerful impact. Makes me think of a battle scene kinda like in the Lord of the Rings or Rocky training getting ready for his boxing match haha Jimin is in his element - intricate fast paced intense choreography - elements of interpretative contemporary dance, hiphop funk and even some modern jazz. Saw the dance practice. Simply wow!

The spiral that the dancers made,..It is the symbol of birth and rebirth, of living and connecting, of letting go of the subject and being reborn again.At the end you see Jimin in all white. It is a masterpiece❤️💜

He mentions *like a butterfly * They surround him like a cocoon. Then he's a butterfly & free

Laughed when you said, “ somebody touched him.“. Great reaction and so proud of Jimin… that’s hot!!!

We keep tryna tell you... .Jimin is one person offstage and another ON. He is a beast. ALSO... they just released the Dance Practice and you can see more choreo. Yep, they added something added to his voice to make it more aggressive. Jimin is finally FREE from the mental struggles and expectation of what others have placed on him. He is Park Jimin from BUSAN and we need to accept it. The Clever German poem on his body, the last sentence and word... SONG. Also.. he mentioned this is the last song on the album...so I can only imagine the somber mood in the previous songs. ALONE scares me because of the title alone. ROSCOE.... we family now...and I am still catching up on your journey... Episode 32 or 33. I am trying to stay focused and not look at these new ones. See you later.

If On and Black Swan had a baby. I love it 💜

the autotune is so artisticaly used here ! Inner rapping voice, full of anger Vs delicate high pitch real voice, full of pain and hope. It's a dialogue, so beautifuly done ! And the choregraphy is a story telling by itself. And the poem on Jimin's chest, the setting, the lighthning, the choir... All is perfect, artistic and meaningful !

❣Jimin’s “Set Me Free Pt.2’, it’s everything & more then I could hope for, Jimin’s amazing artistry, his so beyond spectacular,, so mesmerizing, phenomenal performance! The song, Jimin’s vocals, his dancing, the amazing choreography, also the amazing backup dancers, the lyrics he wrote, the music he composed as well as being involved in the production! Jimin was hands on, involved with every facet! No wonder the in-house legendary producer for BigHit Pdogg, who worked with Jimin throughout the whole album, stated that “in 2023 K-pop will be ended by Park Jimin”! Seeing this makes me that much more excited, waiting in anticipation for release of the full album, Jimin’s “FACE” on March 24, along with his other, main song ‘Like Crazy’ MV. Though Jimin’s song ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’, blew me away , meeting all my expectations & then some, I was also not totally surprised, because indeed Jimin is now ‘set free’ from the confines of being part of a group, to now be able to open up full throttle and ‘finally’ be able to release all that he held back for so many yrs! Finally able to show & unleash his true self that, that was restricted in the confines of BTS. Required to just showing a vulnerable side, which he’s not! Jimin has been involved in every facet of creating this album! Hands on all the way, perfectionist that he is, including writing lyrics, composing, as well as being heavily involved in production! Jimin’s true, real, inner self, will be finally seen in all its raw, authentic, amazing, heartfelt, passionate, emotional, sincere glory! This is aside from Jimin’s full range, hardly ever being shown, aside from high notes, but being finally able to show his full registry, mid range as well as lower registry as well! I’ve always been so frustrated not being able to see as well as hear Jimin’s full capacity of talent. So often not being fully taken advantage of, but that comes with being part of a group, that has every single member having so much talent that it’s been so limiting for Jimin, especially him being so selfless, making a point of having others shine before himself. Now the spotlight will be just on him! Though we’ve seen Jimin’s amazingly spectacular, so mesmerizingly outstanding solo performances before. But now, as Jimin himself, mentioned, he’ll indeed be showing the depth of his raw inner self!  In an interview Jimin explained: "I tried to express the grand scale of the song and [the ideas of] determination, passion, and overcoming. “Set me free” means setting myself free, so I thought it was important that I be the one to set myself free - not someone else. In the end, I’m the one who has to set myself free. I would say the song has the energy of a light in the darkness. I wanted to express that kind of picture everyone has in their head - a ray of light coming into the darkness is the only thing you can see. If I had to say specific colors, I’d say black and white."

I don't know why autotune is this taboo thing. I think it's used extremely well here. we all know it's not used to cover any lack of singing ability. mixed with his natural voice, it adds a lot of color to the song.

EPIC!! Auto-tune was artistically used to convey Jimin's feelings! Borahae!

Roscoe that dance formation shape is Nature's Golden Ratio. Yes it has elements of Yin & Yang, Light & Dark. AND your head went totally in the right direction! All nature's shapes starts from this shape like you said a shell 🐚 and ferns 🌿 and embryos 👶 you totally got it! Note as he comes out of the formation he says 'Fly away, Butterfly' 🦋 another of Nature's Golden Ratios. It also represents metamorphosis which happens with Butterflies. The writing on his chest is a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke called 'Ich lebe mein leben in wachsenden ringen', in English, 'I live my life in widening circles'. So again connected. 😉💜

Great reaction…Jimin…beautiful 💜🌎💜🐥

Love it!! Jimin is sublime here, I don't even have the words, Woooooooow! Thanks Roscoe, I really was waiting for your reaction, the part when you said: "let me see if I could find a good shot for you, its not for me is more for you...[...]see how much I care for you..." Kill me, haha thanks for the shot 😂😂

Jimin ! He’s not a Valedictorian for nothing! Damn!!!

The reaction was amazing and just like mine, I'm blown away. Jimin was flipping amazing OMG!!!!!!

Jimin never disappoints 💜

❣ The poem written in German on Jimin’s body translated: Widening Circles Written by Rainer Maria Rilke Germany (1875 - 1926) Timeline Translated and read by Joanna Macy Listen I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

JIMIN IS A LYRICIST SO DEEP

Park Jimin , fenomen forever !🌟🌟🌟🎤🕺🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

EXCELENTE Mi Principe PARK JIMIN Eres Arte Pura EXITOS En esta nueva Etapa en Solitario con Face Set Me Free TE AMOOOOO,Desde Argentina !!!!!

Love seeing the shock on everyone's faces

Love Jimin 💜

Lol I love your reaction! And then at one point after you said "Jimin got deep" you did a Tata mic face! Hahahahah! Jimin slayed this so hard

Jimin порвал всех🔥💣👑

On his Body is a German Poem from Reiner Maria Rilke 🤯💜

Thank you for having Jimin's works in consideration. He is a brilliant artist. WOW

I love the lines "I won't hide anymore, even if it hurts" and "I won't stop, even if they mock me". He is the sweetest most caring soul and so talented both as a vocalist and dancer but always face so much hate and death threats. I think he always been so strong in being himself, not following the norms and going his own way, early on saying "men this and men that, what the heck is men?" when some were commenting that he shouldn't do certain things because he is a man and I was so moved when he said he had stopped trying to appear like a "strong man" and just could be himself now and talked to his former self saying he was proud of his younger self but "hurry up and become me".

In jimin we believe ⚔️

GORGEOUS JIMIN Amazing JIMIN

i think it is more of a butterfly cocoon with jimin in the center - and him finally breaking out being free transforming into beautiful and graceful butterfly- now his is in his primetime

I love that the floor looks like the FACE of the moon. 💜💜

Even though they use autotune but you can hear jimin vocal, he can sing that on live, cause jimin voice like a autotune too...

Amazing! darkness kept trying to keep him in the maze. "it's prime time now"; was such a positive message. Love him, this is amazing.

Wow!Wow. Jimin you are beautiful in and out. mesmerizing. God bless you Wow!❤

Jimin is just so talented!😊

*Yes!* *I Saw Jino!* *Now* *ROSCOE!* 😅 *Speechless!* 🗣 *JIMIN* *SSII* 💜 *Watching from New⚘️Jersey, USA 😎

This song makes me want to cry, it's so good.

So yeah- if you feel like watching it again - how about diving deeper down this rabbit hole for us. I don’t have the band width to break it down, nor the knowledge. As a visual artist I can appreciate the aesthetics of it all but all the hidden gems he’s put in there is overwhelming! Love your reaction - mine was my mouth hanging open for the first two times I watched it!

A masterpiece! How can I listen to other songs now??😭

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER SLAY FOR MY MANNNNNN, HES SO EPIC I CANT!!!!! ART PERSONIFICATION I LOVE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION 💜💜💜

Jimin was born for all of this. he is a masterpiece.

Another Sienna Lalau Work! They just posted the Practice (in their spanking new shiny studio space) and its even more brilliant without the Textural/Illumination distraction 💙

Чимин поднял крор на совершенно новый уровень.Мир не ожидал от Чимина такого взрыва ,вау Чимин !!!

I think the spiral is like a maze where he is trapped deeper n deeper. ( as the song says set me free) 💜

Yes autotuned for artistic purpose

"GIVE ME JIMIN!" Roscoe, your reaction has by far been the best one I've seen. 😆 You were all of us (at the least the more vocal of us). Good job! Everything about this video was perfection. 💜

Jimin is liquid...everythin!❤❤❤

I still can't get over this. And I've watched a lot of reactions and Roscoe yours has got to be the absolute best!!!

지민도 멋지지만, 당신의 표현도 정말 멋집니다~♡

Linda música belo dança muito é muito especial coreografia voz TD lindo 👏👍👏👍👏👍

Это лучшая реакция, от души.

Magnífica canción de Park Jimin sensacional hermosa voz demostrando su versatilidad y su arte al bailar 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍

jimin talked about darkness and light for this song and the last outfit being the light in the darkness so you could absolutely be right on the ying and yang theory!

Jimin went so hard for this and it isn’t even the main track for the album! What in the Cutie, Sexy, Lovely is waiting for us next week!?

I love your reaction about our bias Jimin! New Subscribers here!

Lmao omg your reaction was the best 🤣💜🫶🏻

One Masterpiece after another 💜 💜 That's what BTS does💜💜 Loved your reaction!

Jimin ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 the cutest the brilliant the prince 👑

Jimin👑👑❤️❤️❤️

우리지민이 매력에 흠뻑 빠지셨군요🤣🤣🤣 우리는 늘 빠져있답니당 ㅋㅋ

Eu não entendo o que ele fala, mas pela sua reação ele ficou impactado como eu

Stankface activated! Also 7 year old giddy school girl at one point. Great reactions throughout. Thank God I don’t wear headphones, but loved the enthusiasm that matched mine the first time I watched it. 💜

😂😂😂😂😂 I love to see everyone else having my reaction 🎉❤

Jimin con esta pieza ha logrado erizar los sentidos a todo aquel que lo ha visto, Siii, con efecto Jimin Libre!!

I think you're spot on about the ying and yang theory, especially with Jimin dressed in white at the end. Well done!

There are great performers, and great artists. Bangtan guys are all BOTH phenomenal artists and performers. Jimin shocked us with this one because it was so unexpected, but also so quintesentially JIMIN, it's a powerful song and I'm here for it. The dance practice just dropped too! Jino's poker face only lasted till he was done with the first listen, he LOVES it lol. I wasn't expecting it, I thought he'd take issue with some things, but he gave it a 96 lol.

Un véritable bijou ❤

And yes you said it, BRILLIANT!!!

I'm here buddy!!!😂😂💜

As always Jimin ate it and left no crumbs the verse that is written on his body is a piece from German poem written in 19th century💜💜💜

Jimim é bom em tudo que faz ❤❤❤❤

Loved your reaction Roscoe. Sorry I missed it live; but I never know when you're live on Twitch 😢 Your reaction was... Pretty much like mine the first time I saw it. And the second. And the third. And... well, Still 💜😅😍 Jimin is... I mean, it's so different than normal - and yet so purely, essentially, and beautifully Jimin 💜😍

Eccellente 👍 grazie mille jimin 💜💜💜

Thank you for this great reaction. This song and the video are pure genius. I love it. I love Jimin. There is a lot of speculation and ideas going around about the meaning of it all. I have noticed that the fans who love Jimin and have observed him for a long time have the best interpretation of this song. The one I agree with is that the spiral thing is a maze. What that maze is to Jimin, and how drinking Hennessy at night and on repeat fits into everything, only he can tell. One of the theories I also agree with is how Jimin is trying to walk away and at one time run away from the dancers who in this case symbolize something adverse, but they follow him, they pull him back and into a state of vulnerability or weakness. It's in the way he moves you see. And he reaches out to the universe, to the world of people who loves him to set him free but the demanding darkness still swallowed him up. I think that his vision or goal is to overcome that which drags him down and emerge a person and artist accepted for who he is. All of who he is. I liked that a lot. Now, I have no idea why the haters are kicking up dust because Jimin used autotune. True fans of BTS know none of them need it. In this case, it accentuates Jimins passionate resolve against those who mock him, wants to hurt him and look down on him. I'm sure they know this but like playground bullies, they will grasp at anything to cast doubt in the utter brilliance of this man and the production of this song. I have said this already but I will say it again. Jimin is the FALCON. He is the STORM. He is the CHANT. Soar my baby! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Tres días dando gracias a Jimin por esta obra de arte

Your face was just like mine when I watched. I loved this, and about time for Jimin. He always had that cute persona, but there were hints everywhere this was him too. Like I remember him or one of his members saying that he's the most real onstage.....and there was a joke in the fandom for ages, that we all thank the demon possessing him when he's up there on stage. And there he was, in the MV, and then said you're welcome

I’m dead. Again. Can’t stop watching this. 💜💜💜💜

Professional Producer said about auto-tune~ ""This is one of the very few cases where I am so fine with use of auto-tune because it's being artistically injected into the music like that was so well placed for him so it feels like there's ton of contrast vocally between each section.""""

지민은 나의 태양이며 희망입니다~항상아름답습니다~강력합니다~노력과열심은 결과가 아름답습니다~항상행복하고 건강하길기도합니다^^❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍💜😘😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😘😘💜😘💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜💜😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh! When did you do the live??? I didn't receive the notification 😢 Yesterday I was praying for it 😊 To me, this MV is an absolute perfection! Nothing in it is superfluous. The choreo, the choir, the lyrics, and the sound effects composed a unique masterpiece, pure artistry!! Since the first second, our soul is trapped by the impressive choreo and choir (that almost screaming high note pierced my mind!). My jaw dropped, and I forgot to breathe! My expectations for the album are simply in the sky

More Jimin reactions yours was BOMB had so much fun watching!!

That was fire. From the beats to the choreo, to the story wow. Jimin did not come to play. He slayed it.

EPIC all the way.. every bit of this song is amazing!! You didnt let me down cap.. your reaction is priceless!!! I think all of us are like that during the release.. we all lost our minds!!! So excited to hear the whole album.. there's a lot of symbolism and a bit of call back to ON, and i feel like a part of the choreo is reminiscent of Not Today and Lie. The dancers are amazing too, the intensity in their movements is so great to see. i always get hurt on the part where they point at Jimin, i don't know but the lyrics and the movement breaks my heart, because we def know they are aware abt everything that are thrown at them.. The use of autotune is just like in Interlude: Shadow, to give the listener a diff point of view in the song.. It is so good... i really loved everything abt it.. the vocals, cinematography visuals, choreo and meaning of the song.. 👍👍👍👍👍 💜

LOVE it, every single second of it 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜I think I'm dead.. by Jimin..

Let's talk about the panopticon symbolism of this set design! The panopticon was a late 18th century prison design with the cells lining the perimeter of a rotunda and facing inward to a central guard tower where a single guard himself was stationed concealed. That's the set design for this MV! The idea was prisoners never new if they were being watched or not, so they would self-regulate their behavior on the chance they were being watched. It also meant most prisoners could see each other at all times, so everyone was both the watched and the watcher. Fast forward to the 1970s and a philosopher named Foucault who applied this principle to society at large, and nowadays also applied to social media behaviors. The way we act, our expectations for ourselves based on assuming expectations from others becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as we're all feeding into and off of each other. This adds SO much context and meaning to the story Jimin is telling here. He has at time felt imprisoned, couldn't be his true self because of always being watched, tried to live and present himself based on expectations. He tries to break free of his inner demons and naysayers and everyone watching him (the other dancers) and do something a little different (notice a lot of ballet positions with his footwork and alternate choreo and tempo compared with the other dancers) but every time he's free of them, they drag him back into their swarm. Near the end, it feels like everyone lifting him up should be a good thing, they're literally praising him (matching the choir singing Glory at various times) but still ultimately grabbing at him, trying to take a piece of him, until his finally breaks free once and for all. Just amazing!! And Roscoe, your reaction made me so happy!

Great reaction vid. This whole experience can be described in one word- POWERFUL

Excelente manera de atraer el interés a su primer álbum solista, y lo que siguió y sigue es digno de admiración expone sus sentimientos en una etapa importante de su vida, muy buen trabajo de Jimin. Gracias por la reacción 😊

De vdd jimin hermoso nene la rompiste eres único cosita divina te amó mi amoreeeee eso mi amor brilla como solo tu sabes hacerlo forever bebé mochi ❤❤❤❤❤❤

German poem hi's tatoo-RAINER MARIA RILKE - ich lebe mein Leben

Jimin took no prisoners!!

Muy bueno

Roscoe On his chest Its a German Poem '' I live my life in widening circles ''.
