Youjeen is actually a rocker in her late 40s and she rocked this song with RM.

RM is the ultimate poet. Please check out the lyrics. They are hauntingly beautiful.

You said that you'd read the lyrics later; I highly recommend you watch the MV, even if you do it on your own time, to get the full impact of the lyrics. I'm sure you won't regret it, and it will only take a few minutes of your time. (You can thank me later, lol.)😉

Youjeen came out of retirement when RM asked her to be on track, she also usually don't agree to collabs. She was the front woman of the rock band called Cherry Filter. Lyrics are great so recommend you looking them up.

17:00 According to the interview she sat for in the making-of film that accompanied the album, Youjeen initially questioned why RM wanted her for this song. She feared that the power in her voice + style of Rock singing would overwhelm the sort of measured intensity you described in RM's rapping & the overall mood of the song. Thankfully, he convinced her that the contrast in types of intensity was exactly the feel he wanted for, "Wildflower." The original Korean title of the song translates to, "Flowerwork," in English (which Youjeen sings in the chorus); a portmanteau that RM coined of wildflower + firework. Traditional Korean/Chinese fireworks (nakhwa nori), are tied onto long strings which are then strung across water, such as a river, in order to contain & extinguish any resulting fires. Because they are hung in this way, the flames fall down, rather than shooting upward as with the pyrotechnics that we're accustomed to today. Brief example from the behind the scenes of the MV: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNaFgLhpqZezZps.html If you picture those fireworks, but made of [flaming?] wildflowers, you get a sense of what he was visualizing. The song basically expresses his desire to live his life more like a tranquil wildflower rooted in an open field, than a brief fire suspended in the air that burns spectacularly for a brief moment then is snuffed in an instant. There's a very good breakdown of the translation & interpretation of the Hangul & RM's here: twitter.com/JlNSONYEONDAN/status/1597989641453719553

RM has an 11 track album dropping May 24th called "Right Place, Wrong Person"! It's his 2nd solo album. The first single will be out May 10th.

69 year old granny, just love BTS. Totally blown away with the fact that RM has input on both the lyrics and production of most of their songs. His lyrics are amazing ❤

Great reaction! For J Hope, his performance at Lollapalooza is mindbending. No joke.

This song is a masterpiece! Please watch the music video, it's gorgeous! RM's voice and lyricism are amazing. Youjeen's voice accented it so nicely. This song should have won awards! 💜

Rolling Hall is a Fantastic, Dream-Fulfilled for Namjoon, since when he was young it was where the best Artists appeared. His obvious delight in featuring the Guests, many of whom were relatively unknown (especially in the International Fandom) made it even more special.

Thanks for the reaction 😊 RM also did a Tiny Desk performance by the way. I'm sure you'd like to check that out at some point. Borahae 💜

For some reason, I find Youjeen's mic tapping very comforting. :) and I love how you were explaining RM in the beginning because I actually feel like it explains the intention of the song even though you didn't have the lyrics. Very cool.

If you liked the lay Back feeling of RM in this song, I suggest to watch the tiny desk concert... It's supera cool

I'm always brought to tears listening to this song. Just goes to show how amazing RM is when it comes to music. RM also has a new album coming out soon, called Right Place, Wrong Person. It will be released on May 24th. Not sure if he filmed any live performances for any of the songs though. We'll just have to wait and see.

RM's second Album RPWP is coming on May 24 and his pre release single 'Come Back to me' is coming on May 10. ... Check them out later too

rm wildflower mv is my absolute fav. That live concert, amazing. for jhope, lollapalooza equal sign, daydream or piece of peace

J-Hope live at Lollapalooza is amazing, either Daydream or Hope World shows off his vocals nicely.

Please watch the official MV for the lyrics. It’s also one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous.

RM chooses his singing partners very carefully. They often have a higher register than he does..they compliment his rap and singing. He listens to a lot of music and the people he picks are from all over the place. His album "Indigo" ( which he pronounes Indeego) is very good. This song is one of the tracks.

Loved your reaction and voice analysis. For j-hope , I would recommend one of his live performances from Lollapalooza or the BTS Wings Tour when each of them performed a song solo and j-hope performed 'momma' (yep, a song dedicated to his mom)

Imagine Youjeen as the Korean Gwen Stefani - from back in the 90s. In an interview she said she was very nervous about this whole project, especially singing live.

For j-hope 'on the street' would be good, there's a live version of that too, or maybe Equal Sign at IU's Palatte

I recommend J-Hope with IU singing Equal Sign

💜 great day to see an upload from Sam 😊 I love this song, it’s probably in my top ten most played this year

Please react to RM's new pre release single COMEBACK TO ME releasing on 10th May. Also his new album "RIGHT PLACE, WRONG PERSON" is coming on 24th MAY

Love this song, he has such a poet’s soul. How he manages to inject such imagery to his lyrics is amazing. Making the song that would typically say firework and using flower work, and make it so meaningful just gets to me. With RM, you really have to sit and think about what he is saying in his lyrics, and he delivers it beautifully. Thank you for your reaction.

you should def check out the whole rolling hall performance. he performs a lot of songs from his most recent solo album with breaks and chatting with the audience between songs. its a great vibe

Yay! This is one of the performances that I recommended. So excited.

I know you go for the live videos (I do too!), but PLEASE be sure to watch the MV with lyrics because it is poetry. And the video is gorgeous. 💜 Really speaks to his inner struggles with fame. Also, never trust the auto-generated subtitles lol.

Would love to hear what you think of the upcoming single Come Back To Me by RM that's being released on 10th May! His 2nd solo album Right Person, Wrong Place is out on 24th May and we're all really excited for it!

Thank you for choosing this performance! It was a unique moment 💜 your explanations are always so interesting 🤩

I forgot to say Lock/Unlock for JHope's vocals. But since the album was released while he's enlisted, there's no live version or MV. Just lyric video. Its a great song, though

Youjeen was super super nervous has she didn't want to let RM down but the mic flicking is something she has always done. Even tho she is the older more experienced artist because of BTS's fame she was a little unsure of doing the song with him but she absolutely knocked it out of the park!!!

I don't think I'm the only one who cried while listening to this song for the first time 🤔🤔🤔

J-hope - More! I'm partial to lollapalooza version but MAMA is also amazing.

Youjeen is the Flower Work exploding up in the sky. RM is the observer looking up and marvelling at the spectacle while reflecting on his life. Light a flower, flowerwork. I know you'd typically lean towards listening to their performances live, but them having provided so many instances in which it was clear they sound almost like their recorded versions, here I would definitely have gone for the Music Video of this song. The instrumentation can be heard so much clearer, and Youjeen's voice explodes just the right way -not too loud, not too soft-... And the lyrics, you would've been able to read the lyrics. The honesty in them and the reason for the song's title.

This was great! RM is an amazing artist - as others have said, I would suggest the MV - it is a visual feat and the lyrics are amazing. (And thanks to your suggestion, I have started listening to Ryuichi Sakomoto. ).

Hi Sam! Another fabulous reaction by one of my favorite vocal coaches to watch. You mentioned that you think RM's voice is deep, and you're right; he's talked before about how he consciously raises his pitch in public, otherwise he won't be understood. There are some chatty lives with other members of BTS where he doesn't do this, and it is incredibly noticeable how bass his voice actually is. So he's definitely bringing that pitch up into performance range. Also - and something I noticed for the first time watching this - is he actually plays with the pitch on how he delivers some lines in the song, possibly because he's not as strongly backtracked as Youjeen is for this performance. Youjeen's mic tapping thing is, from what I understand, an old habit of hers; she tried to stop but just never could, so it's something of a signature of how she performs now. Okay so j-hope, Hoseok, my dear Hobi - a lot of people are gonna say Lollapalooza, but that's an hour set and the sound quality is very much "live show" for it. However, he did rerelease three tracks with slightly cleaned up audio from that show - = (equal sign), STOP and Future. The run of = to STOP at Lolla - video with subs here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br14qq2VxpmtZn0.html - is less than five minutes long, it's totally worth doing the two songs. Other options: No one ever does "Future," even though it has a whole video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM9iprOW1cvOcmg.html With ENG SUB, even! And it's such a good vocal and rap song! People have brought up = at IU's Palette, which is another good performance; it's also more of a duet with IU, though? His performance of "Safety Zone" on that show is _masterful_, though it's more rap and less singing; you can find it here, with English subtitles: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esWqlZuHu6esYas.html His pre-enlistment song "on the street" has a performance here - no subtitles, but very, very live: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epuWdNiEt7TYdJ8.html Most recently, he released an album that features a track called "lock/unlock," which is essentially a full vocal song. No live performance of that, but it does have Nile Rodgers and Benny Blanco on it, so it is deliciously funky: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9mojMRi3c6UgqM.html

This is such a beautiful song and I love your reaction video, I always do. For Jhope, his Lollapalooza/IU Palette EQUAL SIGN is wonderful. Piece of peace or Blue side are also great songs showcasing Hobi’s vocals 💜

Great react thanks for video ❤

If you want to hear more of his singing voice you could check out Forg_tful or Lonely

It would be really cool to see you react to RM's NPR Tiny Desk Concert

The meaning of the title in korean is a mix of fireworks and wild flowers so at the end she is the fireworks, explosive and bright, and he is the wild flower, soft

I do love this song (Namjoon stan here! Lol) but there are others on that album that I love even more. Give the whole thing a listen.

The MV of Wildflower is beautiful! They lyrics are deep, like most of RM's lyrics are. Hope you react to it, too! Thanks!💜

Love the song and your reactions

Jhope did Lollapalooza in 2022 , i was there and it was amazing and I still get all the excitement when I see reactions. But a really good performance to analyze is Equal sign = at IU's Pallete episode.

RM es un poeta, cuando reacciones a su música DEBES entender las palabras. No obstante, ambos (Youjeen y RM) hacieron una canción mágica. RM 14:15 🤭. Para J Hope recomiendo cualquiera de su concierto en Lollapalooza. Otro grande. Saludos desde Cuba🇨🇺

Great reaction, as always! I agree with the other posters, definitely watch the MV it really helps to understand the lyrics and concept. J-Hope recommendations: MAMA live Bang Bang Con 2020 Equal Sign live Lalapalooza

For hobi lolapalooza is the best option!

Hello. RM Announced his New album "Right Place Wrong Person" which will be releasing on May 24th . Please check it out once it releases💜

Jhope Piece of Peace or Blue Side for vocals. Can't wait for RM's new album!! 💜💜

We have similar brains. Totally understood your explanation of the soft hard inversion. :) Those lyrics are not right. lol. Youjeen is a well respected rocker in S Korea and fronts the band Cherry Filter. She does not do collabs but respected RMs musical journey and despite being nervous did the collab.

💜💜💜

RM had to work hard to convince her to sing this with him she was like, I can't do this delicately. He knew what he wanted and got it

Thanks for this analysis 🙏 This is such an amazing vocal by Youjeen - RM said if he couldn't get her to sing this part, then he would have changed the lyrcs to English

Yeah I'd recommend you watch the MV first then a live performance

Youjeen was the front woman of the South Korean Rock Group 'Cherry Filter' she came out of 'retirement' because RM asked her to feature in this song. She's the Rock Chic.

MAMA 2022 would also be my pick for j-hope. His performance of either Arson or More (or both) are brilliant. Hobi, the ultimate performer.

Sorry unrelated to the video, but, Such a cuteee mug!!

Great video although I will never unsee the taps in the mic 🤣. I love this combination between both voices and I believe Namjoon has such an special vision and connection with music that he is able to create masterpieces like this one 💜

Namjoon’s speaking voice is naturally very low and resonant but he does tend to pitch his voice up in interviews for clarity of enunciation, especially noticeable while speaking English.

My recommendation for the next j-hope song is "on the street feat. J.Cole" :)

Ah this was the one I was waiting for 😍 I'm RM bias and every time I see this gig (every other day 😂) it reminds me I failed to get a ticket 😂 I had my bag packed all ready to make the journey from pollokshaws to seoul 😂 so I know what you mean when you say you want to hear him in real life 😌 ps he is a daddy...er I mean he is the leader of bts 😂💜

I love this song so much. It wasn't what I expected, but I was glad to be surprised (again). For JHope my favorite from his new album is More. It's also very different for him. I love how they are always doing new things and growing their craft. 💜 Oh! He just released a collab with JK called I Wonder that is beautiful.

💜

No one match his skills in Rapping, Songwriting and Composing 🔥🔥 the most talented and hardworking artist, he's the main creator of most of the band hits like BlackSwan ,Fake love , Spring Day ,Butter ,Idol.....

would love for you to react to j-hope’s Equal sign live with IU or I Wonder feat JK 🥰

Please please please, for your own fun (Don't need to make a video of that if you don't want to, just enjoy it and tell us what you think in the next video) watch the MV. It has proper subtitles, and the lyrics of this song are a poem, and it's visually so stunning that it will leave you breathless! Thank you for your reaction! Borahae!💜

Please react to killing voice blob!! Amazing vocals!!!!

J-Hope: „More“ at the 2022 MAMA Awards. Or Lollapalooza 💜

His new album is coming next month! On the 10th the pre release will be available! Please check it out!!!

J-hope suggestion: -Lock/Unlock -I don't know ft Huh Yun-jin i love your analysis and reactions btw!! the music nerd in me loves every second of it!!!!

React to RM Tiny Desk Performances

RM tiny desk, hope you will react and share knowledge from that

The mic thing is something some rock artists do it's something I've seen before and and Sound Desk people hate it when singers do that. I've done it myself. It's can be quite fun but you can't over do it it's a very fine line.

J Hope's Equal Sign Lollapalooza please !!!

UNCLE SAMM!!

RIGHT PLACE WRONG PERSON BY RM IS COMING GUYS

Most of the way they are using their voices has to do with what they are saying. And no, those lyrics are NOT right 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely like everyone has said, check out the lyrics. Incredibly moving. This song always makes me cry. The way her voice sounds like wailing. Reminds me of the wailing women in Greek tragedies. Sad but somehow hopeful. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻

Can you please react to RM's new album "Right Place, Wrong Person" out on Friday May 24th. member of BTS.

Yes there is doubling on the recorded version as well, but not that little adlib she put in you mentioned earlier that isn't on the recorded track.

Youjeen hadn't sang live in a while and was very nervous. AT least, that's what she said in an interview I saw

Can you please react to RM's new single"come back to me " out coming Friday May 10th.

💿Did you know that RM of BTS is releasing a new album "Right Place Wrong Person" on May 24th at 1pm kst?‬ ‪RM of BTS will also release a pre-release single on May 10th.‬🎶

Please watch the original MV

Captions: never use auto-generated English. It’s always wrong 😂 I just found your channel and I’m loving it! I came for BTS but I hope you’ll continue Hamilton. 😬💜

Youjeen's voice reminds a lot of Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries, the way she moves between notes.

My vote for your J-Hope reaction absolutely MUST be his live performance of his solo song Mama. It showcases his unique style of rap AND his underrated singing voice. I think its the best song for you to really grasp what he's capable of vocally. Here's the direct link (with subtitles), you'll need to start at about 1:00 to avoid the opening sequence: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldScZNihssClYnU.html

JHope Daydream or More.

Actually even the speaking voice of RM is not his actual voice.. especially when he’s speaking in a mic. I’ve heard him say he deliberately raises his voice a bit otherwise the mic can’t pick it up well. His voice is deep deep…

11:27 “short, sharp breaths that he was taking …”. Didn’t know you were a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, Sam. “A short, sharp shock/ from a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block …”. The Mikado

Hello Sam, will you react to this year's Eurovision Songs?

Do More from J-Hope.

The best place to get the lyrics is doolset

Please watch the music video.. 😊

Correct me if I'm wrong but the real Rm's talking voice is very very low and he uses a high pitch to talk at concerts, interviews and shows

What she's doing with the microphone is clearly to make the sound sound less intense. I'm surprised you didn't realize this

This is a story song... vocal has nothing to do with it... it is a passionate lyrics of overcoming... so listen to the mv.

Well, no subs for RM (even before or after) rules me out. Bummer. But if you do the MV with subs I'll check it out. This performance was awesome and I am sure you broke down his and Yugeen's vocals well. Not your fault I guess, I just don't enjoy a reaction without someone checking out the lyrics he put the effort into writing. This one in particular, but all BTS songs and solo work. (V and JK only exceptions since they didn't write their new solo album songs, but they have written beautiful songs in the past.)
