At the heart of "Black Swan" is a quote from Martha Graham, a legendary dancer: "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." This is about them losing contact with their muse and losing the joy of performing. It's a very sad but very beautiful song.

Looks like 95 liners are taking your heart Jimin and V are both born in 1995 and are best friends they're the acclaimed "soulmates" of the group

He is Jimin and he trained in contemporary dance. He’s my bias😁💜

TXT Run Away is one of their most iconic eras , Black hair Soobin + Blue hair Yeonjun

Jimin was a top student at his high school of arts in contemporary dance when he auditioned and was pick as a trainee for BTS. J Hope was the first dancer purposely picked for BTS and he is a freestyle street dancer and Jimin a contemporary dancer with some experience in pop and lock dancing.

Pied Piper and ON Kinematic Manifesto next!!!!!

Next‼️ Dimple and pied piper live performance pls💜

Luna, thank you for the reaction to Black Swan. It’s one of my favorites I’m a 71-year-old grandmother who just loves BTS and I love your reactions to them. I think you would fall in love with the vocal line so if you’re interested in that watch the truth untold, 0 o’clock, film out.. Thank you again I love watching you and I look forward to every reaction. I think you need to watch the guide by Taylor to learn about BTS and who they are and how they got here! Thanks again. Love you!

Whrn Jimin dances everyone is mesmerised. It was great to see you falling in to BTS's spell

Run away is in those few song which are closest to my heart it always make me cry it has such a deep and beautiful meaning run away always reminds me blue hour era when every member was going through alot and beomgyu was depressed and miss his mom it was such a mess🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Black Swan is ART. the best song ever. BTS is just amazing. 💜

TXT will headline Lollapalooza in about 2 weeks I can't wait, They teased maybe performing Unreleased songs from their upcoming album🌞💞

YES!!! More TXT please. Love your reactions

Very full video here! Yes, you Jim-ined. You discovered V also. I think you’re right that BTS referenced the movie for Black Swan. I kept thinking they wouldn’t do that, but later read that they had. Similarly, TXT isn’t all about HP, but there is enough overlap with the concepts of adventure, running away, magic that HP imagery works to tell this part of their story. Sorry to tell you, I don’t think there’s more Harry Potter in TXT. I saw Taehyun and Beomgyu in a magazine photoshoot, each wearing their Hogwart colors, but that’s the only reference I’ve noticed.

Hi I am back. Good reaction, ty. This one has beautiful deep meaning of their lyrics. As you notice like lines " It would be my first death. That's what I'm afraid of ." It has that emotional theme of an artist fear for losing their passion for what they do. With this song BTS dives deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden. The song lends voice to their fears that one day music will no longer be able to move or touch them. The very moment they come face to face with the ‘Black Swan’ within themselves, however, they are stricken with a paradoxical realization that music is all they have. It is a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself. It's also inspired from Martha Graham, who said “A dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” Now with the band on a break from group work and focusing more on solo projects (solo albums). We know this was also a hint to us that they were struggling. U were very close in ur thoughts. =0] Yes, Jimin is the contemporary dancer in the group. To me i feel it's his song in some ways. JHope is the main dancer but his style is hip hop he was a street dancer in the past before becoming a trainee. V is the guy u liked our handsome farmer boy. =0p Stay safe. - 2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 Jen W said on 6/7/22 Black Swan ballet: changing from white to black swan - growing up, losing innocence. Black Swan movie - sacrificing mental and physical health to reach the top. Shadow/mirror images - self reflection. Black Swan: Mainly written by RM, the one you like, is about their fears of losing all passion for music, either writing it or performing on stage. It's also based on a quote by Martha Graham who was an important figure in the world of modern dance, "A dancer dies twice. Once when they stop dancing and this death is more painful." They've been doing this for a long time now and for some of them it's all they've ever done from a young age but realized music is their life. MsBeatrice_81 said on 3/19/22 Fun fact: Before BTS began doing it, it wasn't normal at all for Korean idol groups to release songs with deeper meanings, discuss serious topics in their songs, acknowledge issues of vulnerability like burnout, depression or mental illness. It wasn't normal for idols to open up about their personal troubles at all. In fact, doing so got some idols thrown out of their companies. It was also not normal or common to have a running storyline/theme that is carried through multiple albums and/or MVs and songs. But BTS did it all so successfully, and broke those stigmas, to the point that now many other Korean idol groups have started trying to do those things, with varying degrees of sincerity and success. This song, its lyrics and MV are part of the "Shadow" portion of BTS's Map of the Soul era, in which they released albums and songs based on Carl Jung's theories regarding the Persona, Shadow, and Ego. This track is an exploration of their "shadow" selves' fear that they may someday lose their passion for their art - they ask if perhaps they are already losing it- and they wonder what comes after that "first death" of the loss of passion. In the end, they continue to fight for their passion and their art, claiming they won't be swept away by these fears again. I would encourage you to think about how counter-cultural BTS is being in songs like this: Not only are they dealing with topics that were taboo only a few years ago, but they're being unbelievably personally vulnerable, sincere and open. This is why we love them so much, and I'm sure you will, too! 💜 Example: A couple of weeks ago Jimmy Fallon had BTS on his late night show. They performed a song called Idol at This Idol performance at Gyeongbokgung Palace as a background and wearing hanboks. There are so many amazing location Rich with Ancient history. Here is a link to the idol performance, so you can see the background visual of the palace. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g752ns1-s77KoI0.html Sariel said on 3/1/22 The string instrument used is the Gayageum, a Korean zither.

Jimin studies contemporary dance ✨ He is the Black Swan of the mv. I think you will love On Kinetic Manifesto next Time ❤️👌

I’m REALLY ENJOYING your reactions. You are moving up quickly to my to favorites list. 😊 Jimin, the one you have been drawn to from the very first video, is the contemporary dancer. He was trained as a contemporary dancer and brings a lot to group as far as dancing. I think he and J-Hope have helped the group elevate their dancing skills. V, the one you stopped on and said he’s very handsome (yes, we know 😂) and JungKook (the one who started and ended this video) are also in the dance line. Jimin, V, JungKook (JK) and Jin (the porcelain skin guy) are all on the vocal line and J-Hope, Suga and RM are in the Rap Line. JK is a really good rapper and rapped a lot in their earlier videos. Someday you will want to watch Taylor’s Gulde to BTS. I promise it is worth your time. Most reactors say they are very glad they watched and couldn’t believe the time passed so quickly. This is the first time I’ve seen someone react two two groups at the same time.

Jimin was a top student in Contemporary dance,also hip hop

Jimin and v 🔥

Yes my ultimate bais V is really gorgeous and won the most handsome man in the world title many times for some reason 💜😍❤️

Yay!! I'm so happy you reacted to Run Away! It's always been my favourite TXT song, I'm glad you liked it and I love your TXT reactions. I really like the choreography for Run Away too, and the Harry Potter references. If you ever have time, I would love to see you react to &TEAM, they're a Japanese boy group who debuted several months ago and I've recently been obsessed with their song Firework. Maybe you can keep this in mind and one day react to them :D In the meanwhile I'll enjoy your other reactions!

Please watch black swan live performance too 💜

Thanks for reacting to Black Swan, it's a masterpiece! Their live is amazing, but then they all are! 😂

Black Swan es una canción majestuosa, la amo 💜 y no soy moa pero Run Away me encanta, desde la canción y la coreografia hasta el mv, todo es espectacular 👏

This song and Jimin is amazing 🙏💖

YES TXT I am so happy 🥳🥳🥳

currently binging ur txt reactions! run away has such a special place in my heart i love it so much 😭 cant wait for u to start reacting to their performances ❤❤❤ (would suggest farewell neverland band live)

You're not only beautiful but you are also smart! Kudos to you. You hit the mail on the head. The song is about an artist's first death, which is when the passion for performing or making art is no longer there. You are sharp to pick up on Jimin . He's been classically trained in modern and contemporary dance. You should react to Taylor's Guide to the Members of BTS.

3:38 well, surprise! that's j-hope, with SUGA this time. in Fake Love, the mirror choreography were j-hope and Jungkook

Hi, i am back. Good reaction(TXT), ty. Love this one. A fav for sure. So catchy. Another storyline MV. I think the wound healed. That is what they are showing. The 9 3/4 is a Harry Potter reference. The magic island is a Peter Pan reference i think. Harry Potter is great. Yes, there was a clock in the choreo. So glad u liked this. It looked to me like Yeonjun's power is fire. Not sure if u spotted that. Don't know if Soobin opened the door 1st. I don't watch every post from TXT. I do know TXT has a webtoon that answers some questions about the story. I think it's called The Star Seekers. The webtoon will be published in manga form soon. i plan to buy the 1st volume. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Bangtan X together said on 3/15/22 TXT indeed has their storyline and concept and they have my one of the fav concept the concept of growing up 1) crown (debut) was like teenager and fresh vibe cute and innocent (as txt were teenager themselves too at that time) 2) run away ( school theme) at the same time the realization of growing up and pain 3) can't you see me ( dark theme) it tackles the betray, promises...,. 4) blue hour ( it might seems happy song but it isn't) it's a song where they want to stay young forever as innocent child , they don't want to grow up gradually, but at the same time welcoming their youth ~ you can see the opening and ending of this song is sad so the between song is just their imagination 5) love song : it's finally tackling the more reality of young people facing nowadays and they finally grow up 6) loser lover : it's the continuation of love song it tackles more reality through their MVs. ( although txt concept are of growing up but at the same time their story line so much unique ) P.S. BTS Also have a webtoon called 7 Fates Chakho and a manga for them will be out soon. Totally getting it. =0p Love manga. I hope they make an anime from the webtoon. It's so good.

your theory abt the 9¾ is pretty accurate btw 👀

Can't wait for ur next txt reaction! ♡

4:27 this man is gorgeous you said 😭❤ his name is "V" and the real name is Kim Taehyung he won as the most beautiful man in the world for many years

*claps before end* whispers “oh, excuse me” hehehe you are so adorable and I’m loving your reactions!! borahae!! 💜🤟🏼💜

The one you said is gorgeous is V, he is also the one you said is gorgeous too in the permission to dance with red suits. You're gorgeous too girl

Luna I'm sure you will be delighted with “Louder than bombs” please listen to this song

If you want to watch Jim in I recommend serendipity if and performance

RM watched Black Swan multiple times before writing this song. The song is about the fear of running out of music to write when you no longer hear it in yourself. It takes the phrase from Martha Graham, the legendary dancer, who once said a dancer dies twice, first when they stop dancing and it is more painful. Jimin wanted very much to dance barefoot in the video and he choreographed his dance part. He's so beautiful. The MV was filmed in a shuttered theater in Los Angeles at the same time they filmed "On" Kinetic Manifesto at the Sepulveda Dam.

Plz plz more TXT Their songs are very good and their voicesa we love you And Your Reaction❤❤❤ I was very happy when I saw your reaction with TXT plz react more TXT Thank you soo much❤❤❤

TXTBTSmoarmy ❤❤❤

I love Black Swan soo much the contemporary dance and the meaning is just beautiful. Also I highly recommend u watch (A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari ) to get to know BTS a bit more. I promise u will love it. u will get to know each member, how they started and stuff like that. it is an AMAZING video.( don't forget your tissues when u watch it 😄) Thanks again for your reaction 💜💜

I love Black Swan so much. I got the chance to go to a BTS concert and saw them perform this. I literally cried, it was so beautiful and 9 and 3 quarters is a must to always listen to. I wanted to see TXT but couldn't. Anyways both dance practices are a must to watch and Black Swan is definitely one of the MVs i couldn't stop watching ☺️

Please watch A Guide to BTS Members : The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Mari 💜

Run Away is one of my faves!

I suggest to react TXT's concept trailerssss, I swear you are not gonna regret ittttt

The song is about the fear of losing one's passion for their art eg song writing, singing, dancing, their love of performing. It's based on a famous quote by a famous dancer. "A dancers dies twice, once when they stop dancing and this is the most painful death". You'll also see the 'Shadow' that's dancing which is a Psychological concept of the mind were our fears, dark thought and the thing we don't want other to know about us are hid. The Shadow at the end falls down to nothing which represents that fear of losing their passion for their art being conquered. Yes to Black Swan the film reference. Jimin is the Comtemporary Dancer he's also a Hip Hop dancer.

Girl this two songs are my favorite 😫💗

Black Swan is a pure art

The song is about losing your passion for your art, it could be dance, songwriting, singing, producing, etc. Jimin plays the perfect Black Swan in this movie, and RM wrote the song and definitely got inspiration from the movie. He watched it more than once. The intro to this album I know you will love, it's RM and it's a classic style rap song, that he wrote and it's my favorite of his up to this point in their discography, until he released his album INDIGO. But that's for another time. I'll link you the introduction. I KNOW you will love it. By the way, this album - Map of the Soul: 7 - was the best selling album Globally in 2020, and in the USA. It's a masterpiece. Intro: Persona (Comeback Trailer; RM solo song) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5-FrJOg1byqY6c.html

As you see in a few comments, BTS and TXT are the only two bands under BigHit label. There's also one soloist under BigHit. BigHit stayed separate when it created Hybe, which several excellent Kpop groups belong to (under their own individual and smaller label companies). So, BTS and TXT are very close and BTS now thinks of TXT as their little brothers. I think it took a long time to get to that point since BTS was always busy touring, etc and TXT was working to exhaustion with training before their debut. But they are huge supporters of each other and it's super cute. I'll try to link a video of some of their interactions. We'll see if YT lets me. Haha. The interactions are very heartwarming from both of the bands. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNuiqrGfr766qGg.html

Thank you for reacting to TXT...💚💙 Runaway is my one of my most favourite songs of TXT... It has a special place in my heart... Waiting for next txt reaction...

Jimin is the black swan ❤

after black swan I suggests ON KINETIC MANIFESTO FILM because it is somewhat related to one another, if black swan is their shadow, On is their fight song against the black swan within them.

Run away is a song that has special place for Every idol 😭❤️ I still remember other Group idols crying over this song lyrics and music in awards when txt was performing 😭😭 Runaway❤️

Black swan fue la cancion y video que me convirtio en Fan de BTS

Run away is such an emotional song😭 Love the song and your reaction❤

I'm really enjoying your reactions. You're so sweet, and I love your eye make up. I found myself checking up to see if you had posted yet! I wish there were more. But yeah you're awesome and looking forward to you're next BTS video :)

BTS were definitely drawing on themes from the Black Swan movie as well as adding their own spin on things. This song is from Map of the Soul: 7, which draws on Jung’s Map of the Soul and his psychological archetypes like the persona, ego, shadow, etc. In this MV you can see they’re playing with this idea of the shadow, which is the less appealing side of ourselves that we hide from others. In Black Swan the movie, from what I can remember, the main character plays the lead role of Swan Lake, Odette, which requires playing a white swan and a black swan. You’ll notice BTS have two sets of outfits, one white, and one black, but even with their white outfits they have some black element to them, like they can’t quite rid themselves of the black swan/shadow. I see others have already mentioned the quote from Martha Graham. There are a few different angles to examine this song from, which is no doubt part of why it’s such a fandom favourite.

I live for this reactions ahahaha

Yes he's jimin(blue hair)

Indeed that guy is gorgeous and his name is Kim Taehyung aka V.

Thank you so much for the black swan reaction! You nice, keep going 😉💜

As always amazing. You're reactions are just mind blowing. I have watched many people reacting but I wanted to find this type of reactions like you react. I mean you react on their each and every thing like lyrics, outfits, mv, and many more things. I liked the way you recognised them so early. People who just don't watch kpop just say that they all look same. Keep going ahead. Armiess will always support you. And lastly; I just request you to post at least one video daily if you could because I can't wait to watch your reactions. Love youu💜

The one who dance ballet is jimin the one you said beautiful

the gorgeous man is taehyung

TXT 4LIFE

Thank you darling 🥂💜

Eres tan hermosa y tan inteligente jajaj siempre que veo reacciones tengo una leve esperanza de que encuentren el significado detras de las canciones y siempre te acercas tanti y notas tantas cosas, definitivamente mi reacción favorita de Black Swan ❤

More txt plz we love you

Luna's reaction is only getting better. just be yourself, if you enjoy reacting, viewers can feel it and will come again. BTW that 'the guy' is Jimin.

The guy at 4:26, who you found gorgeous is V or Kim Taehyung ❤

Yay! I binge watched all your reactions. please react to live performances

Next ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film please! 😊💜

Yes Black Swan is connected to the movie ^^

RUNAWAY IS QUEEN!!

More video TXT tomorrow x together please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

TXT are BTS' little brothers from the same company. These 2 groups support and adore each other. BTS does solos and subunits work also. Try Singularity (V's solo) & Serendipity (Jimin's solo). Just for your info: BTS' works are not only from their own experiences but also inspiations from arts, classic books, philosophers & psychologist. There are university professors from different countries, economists and others professional specialist get together have forums (already 3 yrs in a row) and talk about everything about BTS, lyric meanings, their influence, success without going thru general routes, econimic bringings, bringing new trends in music business and history..... After BTS' success, just about every group follows/copies a lot of things what BTS've been doing, i.e. grandious stage productions, precise dance movements, having storylines, more English songs, trying more positive/deep/meaningful lyrics, combined Korean tradition concepts, communicating with their fans thru SNS...

You are not ready for the presentations of the MMA2019 and MMA2020 are a masterpiece

Magic shop + magic shop live pls

Reaction bts pied piper live and bts DNA please

Best combo ever BTS Black swan and TXT Runaway are my fave songs

You got Jimin right, and he majored in contempoary dance also there are behind the scenes videos showcaseing Jimin's dance parts of this MV. Also the member with the black curly hair that has the high low angles is V or Taehyung. As for Black Swans meaning the members have said it talks about their fear, as artists, of losing their passion for music which is compared to dancers losing the ability or passion for dance regardless of any reasons leading to that lose. Oh & Luna I know you normally do music videos or live performance so I'm sharing this more so you can enjoy it as well rather than to watch your reaction. This is the link to a korean TV show that Kai and Soobin appeared on, to surprise and spend a day with a MOA it just so sweet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7qYdJl0kru9e40.html

The song is about what is referred to as The first death"...it is when an artist loses the passion or ability to perform....I think even athletes can relate to that💜

I'm back. Hi, Luna. I like your BTS reaction. I strongly recommend ' Introduce BTS video'

I just found your channel and I'm enjoying your BTS reactions sooooooo much! My suggestion for the next MV is Spring Day, it's the queen of BTS songs. ARMYs purple you💜 (you'll get the reference when you get to the guide, but I still just wanted to say it). Have a good day!

Yes Luna it's real fire 😂 both txt and bts use real fires. Runaway is sooo good. It's a song abt friendship. The lyrics are sad but the melody makes you wanna dance lol. BTW, Jimin took up contemporary dance so Black Swan is right up his forte. V or Taehyung was voted the most handsome man. Recently he was no. 1 in the most handsome faces of kpop and Beomgyu is No. 2. TXT is following suit. Proud of them boys.

Please do a guide to BTS members by Taylor....It will help you to understand their journey better 🙏 I PURPLE YOU 💜💜💜💜💜

please more BTS

Black swan is art

BTS te amo!!💜

I love your reactions, you should also react to BTS live songs. the level of professionalism and talent are incredible, a good example is the 2019 MMA live performance or songs with incredible lyrics like the truth untold or answer: Love myself. You will not regret!

I love BTS 💜

Yessss, you need to react to more xikers now, might not be your style but please try.

Untill 2019 Bts company only had Bts and a solo singer, TXT debut in 2019 at Bts company Big Hit

hi you are so beautiful :) I watch all your reactions to kpop pretending im as hot as they are

i recommend dimple and pipe paper babe or house of card. i loved very much

Pleaaaase do reaction to a guide to BTS member the bangtan 7 ❤😚

Black Swan is the fear of losing passion.

You should watch ''who is BTS meet the 7 members of bangtan'' to learn more about them
