Real quick: Before I respond to comments a lot of you are disappointed that I didn’t react to the other videos surrounding black swan before this one and have mentioned that this is about “if” they lose their passion for music rather than “did”. 1. I didn’t know there was a video before this one..and to be honest there’s lots of videos that go with each song so please just bare with me. If I react out of order and I have no idea then I will react to the other ones and connect them to my best ability. 2. Yeah I guess i missed the ball on the Music thing. I tried lol I’m not like this perfect person that can understand everything at once and I had no idea about the first dance quote so that’s probably why it didn’t make sense to me. I appreciate the passion to make sure there is corrections and stuff. I’m just here to enjoy their music honestly and sometimes you guys come at me hard haha all is good though! 💜 I think from now I’m gonna do some research before reacting. I like reacting raw but I don’t want to have to keep pining my comment to explain my reaction. (Just keep in mind that I have a video going live everyday this week so I’ll start doing that after those) Thank you!

In the film 'black swan' the opening quote is “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” So the first death reference is they will experience their first death that is most painful if they loose their love for music :) love your videos !

"Black swan" is inspired by a quote: "a dancer dies twice. The first time is when he stops dancing and this first death is much more painful". "Black swan" is about their fear that some day they'll lose their passion for music and that would be their first death. It has connection with their other song - "Interlude: Shadow" (Suga's solo). Recommend you to check it out.

I really love when you called our jimin by angel..bcz he IS truly an angel..not just bcz his face and voice but also his heart..

It's about being afraid of losing their passion for music. That's a sort of death. They know that making music isn't forever and they fear when it ends.

5:45 They just gave wings to angel " LMAO I died at this part 🤣

I just want you to know that you are way smarter than 90% of all other reactors. And it's honestly so refreshing. I wish I could personally bitchslap every person that might bother you in the comments.

So we have Jungkook = jk ( you already know him ) Jimin = the " angel " Jin : with black straight hair Taehyung / V = with black curly hair Yoongi/ suga : the first rapper in the MV Namjoon / rm : the second rapper And j-hope : at 6:10 💜💜💜💜

Jin is the one they spotted on the street. What's ironic is that even though he basically learned from scratch when it comes to singing and dancing, he proved himself well. Jin's voice was critically praised by the Grammy's with the song Fake Love labeled as "silver voice", his solo song Moon was hailed by Rolling Stone Magazine as number 5 in Top 75 Greatest Boyband Songs, he was also praised for his triple high note in the song Crystal Snow. Also Jin's song Epiphany and the latest song Abyss tackles self love and mental health. Enjoy BTS. Welcome to Bangtan world.

This song takes inspiration from what Martha Graham, a legendary dancer, once said - “a dancer dies twice-once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” So this song talks about their fear of losing their passion for music.

Oh my God girl you already know most of their names. It took me like a whole month and half to get their names right when I first went down the rabbit hole 😳😳😳👏

That's jin he is the oldest one in the group and the funest and you should react their vlogs to see their personality and to know them more

don't get pressured by the requests. just enjoy this journey,you know you are entering a whole new freaking world!☻💜we army purple you💜👉👈

oh I love how you remembered Jin and his hard work! I thought the same when I first saw him he danced and sang very well to me.

The constant phrasing of "first death" is derived from Martha Graham, a choreographer's quote: "A dancer dies twice. Once when they stop dancing, this first death is the more painful." It's pretty grim-sounding but it's basically an artist losing their passion for their craft seen as a first mortal death.

The handsome one is called Jin! I can't wait for you to hear his solo stuff, it's gonna blow your mind.

theyre talking about what it would feel like to lose their passion for music and dancing talking about their fear. its connected to other bts songs but also to the movie black swan and Martha Grahams quote "a dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing and this first death is the more painful" the black wings represent the black swan

They're not saying that they have lost their passion for music, it's them asking themselves what IF they lost that connection? It's about their fear of losing that passion. The song was inspired by the actual film "Black Swan" (hence the contemporary dance) and by Martha Graham's quote "a dancer dies twice. The first time is when he stops dancing and this first death is much more painful". You'll find this quote in their Black swan art film video (it's another version/interpretation of the song) ...ALSO, this song is lyrically connected to "Interlude: Shadow". It's quite complex, but since the album Map of the Soul: 7 was about the different parts of the psyque (according Carl Jung's principle of individuation in the book Map of the soul: the persona, the shadow and the ego), "interlude:shadow" and "black swan" both were about the shadow. In fact the abum is divided in 3: Intro: persona-----Interlude:Shadow---- Outro: Ego

Jimin is human Black Swan 💛💙

There's a saying that "a dancer dies twice, the first time is when he stops dancing and this first death is much more painful" that means that people not only dancer can only dies twice but people who has passion in something. It feels like dying when you lose something you love/your passion. And BTS talks about it in Blackswan, BTS says that they're scared to lose their passion to their art and it will feel like the first death and it's much more painful. Actually I've watch this korean drama called 'Angel's last mission : love' and the female lead character was a ballerina (black swan/swan lake is also a famous ballet) and she become blind because of the accident while performing ballet after that incident she can't perform and she also said those lines that "a dancer dies twice, the first time is when he stops dancing and this first death is much more painful". When i see that line i suddenly remember this song and how painful it is to lose what you love and what your passionate about. And BTS also use contemporary dance in this song and it incorporates dnace like jazz, modern dance and also ballet so it's really amazing how BTS connect things in artistic way. They really love what they're doing and it shows. They're openly telling ARMYS and people that losing their love for their passion is like dying and it's more painful. I really love that they're openly telling this by sharing it in MUSIC (their passion). Thank you very much for this, I think you kinda get it but here is the explanation. Anyways thank you and borahae. 💜

There is a video Bts jimin solo dance practice of BLack Swan. He is an amazing dancer and professional

Just wanted to let you know you are my new favorite reactor. Told my daughter you are the kind of person I would be friends with. Keep doing you!

Like with most creatives, when one experiences burn out or forgets why they're doing what they're doing, they may lose their passion and go into a dark place. But I like how from j-hope's verse onwards in the song, they accept that even when they go into those dark places in their minds, they'll keep hold of their passion for music and come out of it.

To add, not sure someone had mentioned... They almost disband in early 2018, they talked abut the pressure and all that, if the passion for music was still there etc. They talked about it in one of their shows. So the first death is actually when you loose for your passion (what ever that may be) and the second death is when you actually die.

The Bubble is back! 🤩👍

In 2018 BTS wanted to disband, songs related to the inside the is Let Go, Shadow and outdo tear. It also related into reflecting and looking at the shadow within yourself. BTS launched the album together with fully funded art exhibitions from various discipline from dancing to visual art around the world with artists coming from Africa, uk, South American together with this album. They wanted to introduce and share other form of art that inspires or revitalised their own passion for music with army

first death means when u lose ur passion of something that u love (btw i cant explain this further so this is basically what I learned)

Please do not worry about going in order. Listen to what you want. Being new you wouldn't know. BTS has huge collection of music starting from 2013 and still adding on. All I can say is enjoy the ride. Its going to be sweet. Welcome to the world of BTS.

Jimin is visually representing a black swan in this video dying the "first death" that they're talking about (no longer having a passion for music)-that's what the black wings are for. :) It matches perfectly too since he studied contemporary dance. I'm not sure if they wanted to incorporate this too, but there's also a philosophical concept of a black swan: a "black swan" is an unexpected occurrence or event, so that's another layer of complexity to an already-complex song. lol.

Hi Caitlin I just came across your reactions and Im loving you are sooooo lovingly genuine👌😊. I only became aware about bts amazing success when they dropped their latest Life goes on. have been so curious about them since ans seen many videos and reactions..Im a 58yr old mom who has become so proud of these boys success but more their amazing personalities and humble emotional intelligence. I used to hear Kpop being used as a joke years ago ..didnt really look into cos oc my age and people might think me weird 😂 Please dont worry about making your fish face reactions they are sooo adorable. I love the way you react and more the things you say about them . Im sure you are as genuine with any music you react to. Keep going girl. ❤

when you are totally in love with what you do, all aspects of music, and you have been told you are not good enough and you will never succeed, it is like death. everyone has a shadow the other side of you that says 'am i good enough'. you question your worth. black swan, darkness against light

Ho, and I forgot to say that " angel"'s wings are referring to the title Black Swan . He's dancing something inspired by Swan Lake, i I think. You have to see one of their live performances of Black Swan, lioke the one in the MMA2020 , that's amazing.

8:00 yep. His name is Jin

It's an immense pleasure to watch you reacting and figuring out what the song is about. BTS wrote Black Swan as an outlet of their fears as an artist. 2020 is their seventh year in the music industry after their debut in 2013, and they've openly declared in the song that they are terrified that the passion they had for music in the beginning will slowly dwindle because of huge pressures (fame and success) and the lack of inspiration. I see the other comments have already addressed the puzzle of the first death, thus I would only add some links to the videos related to BTS "Black Swan" you might like to react to: - (Choreography) BTS "Black Swan" Dance Practice: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLqDZM1yzb20kqs.html - BTS "Black Swan" MV Shooting Sketch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrd4ZK-ipr2ZdoU.html - (angel) Jimin's Black Swan Solo Behind The Scenes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrOWo5WbyLGZYoE.html - Who's That Shadow?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdF9frKWstKnh2g.html - BTS "Black Swan" MV Reaction by BTS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grd7atd3ltysYqs.html - BTS "Black Swan" Art Film Reaction by BTS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLhppJiaupPLeok.html - Musical Actors BTS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orl7Z7CnxtaZmWQ.html Greetings from Canada:-)

I think you have made many good points. Also black wings= black swan

Great reaction again ^^ Are you sure your mom wouldn't like BTS though? :) My daughter introduces me to their music and I'm so happy she did, so just saying ... ;) Song is inspired by a quote by a famous dancer, saying that "the day a dancer stops dancing is his/her first death, and the most painful one". Black Swan is indeed about the feeling of losing passion for music, the fear that this can happen to them one day, and they will feel like dying. In fact the whole " map of the soul - seven" album is inspired by Carl Jung' theories about different "parts" from our psyche , the Persona, the Shadow, the Ego. Black Swan is related to the Shadow part, that is constituted of our repressed fears, the traits of characters that we don't admit, and so on...

I think it’s related with being a k-pop Idol, they hay a lot of pressure of making tons of albums. They are saying that they are afraid to make music for a “job” or compromise instead of doing music because they like to do it. So basically they are saying that they are afraid of making music without passion.

I love how she just calls Jimin "Angel" like, there isn't much difference between the two Love your videos! Keep doing you

I love your reactions, Caitlin! Keep 'em raw! BTS has *so* much content and backstory and meaning and EVERYTHING, and it takes a while to learn. I'm a relatively new Army, so I watch reaction videos not only to see other people get HYPED for BTS the way I did, but to read comments and learn from more knowledgeable Armys as well. I love that you're trying to understand their deep lyrics and not just bopping your head to the tune. That deep dive is *awesome*. And yeah, first view is NEVER enough to capture it all! I hope you continue to react to BTS and grow to love them (but if you don't, that's okay too - your respectful views and reactions are lovely to watch either way!).

About the first death thing I think you'll understand when u watch the other black swan mv: black swan art film performed by mn dance company. This was released before the official mv and had the fandom on tears. Well, at least me xD

This MV is a second MV that BTS do with black swan. First they just gave us another version (none of them in the 1st one, all dancer from professionals). From there we understand much about what its all about. Its very good MV too. BTS used that version to just dance performance in MMA 2020 and also they last online concert. So beautifull 😍😍 maybe you can check that one too someday.

This and "Shadow" reshaped my life. Period.

black swan lyrically is one of my favourite BTS song!

3:37 the way they are talking about first death is because there’s a saying that an artist dies twice; once when they fall out of love with their craft and another when they actually die. and seeing as this song is about losing love for something you’re passionate about you can see how it’s fitting. hope this helped ! :)

According to the description of “Black Swan” on Melon, Martha Graham’s quote - “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” - was the inspiration for the song. “Black Swan” tells the story of a dancer, an artist, who fears the death of their career: the moment when they can no longer perform on stage. The moment when music no longer touches BTS’s hearts or stirs their passion is the moment when the specter of that “first death” appears. At the end of the video, the specter recedes, signifying that BTS has not experienced that yet. Beautiful performance. I love this one.

i love how she keep calling jimin "angel" in all her videos i'm so soft he's true angel!! :(

From my point of view, I think that black swan is not just about music but more about the things that we are passionate about but in some point we lost the path of it due to different circumstances in our lives, that will be the "first death" because you can feel lost or empty. However, we have to overcome those issues because "nothing can devour me". Well, I don't really know, I just love this song with all of my heart.

i really really love your reaction because you pay attention to the lyric and try to analyze it as well. Also because you call my bias jimin an angel.. and you seriously funny.. so i subscribe.

played in the theme that swans die if they stop dancing. the importance of music and their need for the connection.

The quote about first death everyone is mentioning is one from legendary dancer Martha Graham. The album Black Swan is from is Map of the Soul: 7, and it contains a lot of inner exploration of their lives as people, artists, a group, and as friends. There are some really great live performances of this out there if you ever get a chance to check them out.

Love your reactions! Always makes me smile! And I totally get what you said about the music, and it's why I connect with this song so much. I was once asked in a "would you rather" game if I would rather loose my sight or my hearing. I would rather go blind. The world is an ugly place but there is always beauty in music and sound.

Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying your reactions! Don’t worry if you don’t get all of the meaning when you first watch! Sometimes it takes a few watches along with reading lyric translations and maybe looking up what the guys said themselves about the song. I seriously got into BTS 8 months ago and I am still learning so much (even about Black Swan, which is the first song I really got into!). Also art can be interpreted many ways, so don’t ever feel like you are “wrong”! We can learn the artist intention and still get our own personal meaning from a song. That’s what makes it special. Keep up the good work and most of all I hope you enjoy yourself!!

The lyrics of this song is based on Martha Graham's Quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." This also applies to BTS as musicians, If someday music "can no longer resonate ", "no longer make my heart vibrate".. and..."the heart no longer races ..when hearing the music play" , then... "that would be my first death".

I really enjoy your reactions, and I can tell that they are super genuine, which I love. I would just encourage you, though I know it's really hard, to not worry about the people who get all upset when you get things "wrong" or don't watch things in the "right" order. I just worry that if you continue to spend energy on those people that you will start to not enjoy doing these reactions. Just do you! Watch the videos in whatever order you gosh darn well please and enjoy making all sorts of theories about the videos, even if they turn out to be wrong. Trust me, every single Army has gotten a theory wrong at some point, because they are so complex to figure out. I know some Armys can come at people pretty hard, and I feel like that is unfair and wrong. Don't worry about those people. Just let 'em be mad "until it all becomes ashes" (lyrics from BTS' "Ugh"). I think a true, raw reaction is much better than an educated one, because it's the most genuine reaction to how you feel watching it for the first time, with no preconceived notions. The education side of things can come later. Just let those comments roll right off your shoulders!

I absolutely adore you, omg. You’re both gorgeous and super sweet. Thank you for all of your kind words directed towards our guys. It’s very much so appreciated 💜

Just started watching your reactions few minutes ago... from the first BTS reaction until now 🤭 I like your reactions thus far, and the fact you are seriously analyzing the lyrics 🤭 Look forward to more BTS. 💖💜Love BTS💜💖

You're gonna loooooooove Blood, Sweat and Tears. You're not ready. Believe me.

Hi Caitlin, this song is about their fear of losing their love for music, their ability to create music. It would their first death to lose that. First because it’s death before even dying 😉. And the black wings : it’s BLACK swan 😂 and the guy you missed, the handsome face, is Jin 😘 Nice reaction 👍

the one thing i don't see anyone mentioning in the comments is they had a bad period between late 2017 and early 2018 where they were burnt out and dealing with the immense pressure of getting so famous globally that they had to have a serious discussion about whether they'd let their contract run out and quit or resign and continue. i think that's be relevant to this song lol also here's the behind the scenes for jimin's solo shoot for the video (there are subs!) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrOWo5WbyLGZYoE.html

I love your reactions just as they are. If you are off the mark with your responses, it shouldn’t get you ragged by people. They were once newbies, didn’t know everything but apparently forgot the fact. Be yourself because it’s lovely.

Black Swan is a masterpiece. RM the leader is the main lyricist and producer of this song. He cried while writing lyrics for it. Two other writers are there too. Lyrics are so deep.

Don't worry too much about it. I love your raw reactions. I know there is a lot of things to catch up on. But we will help you along the way. Thank your for being so open minded and giving our boys an opportunity. You will notice how their music is healing many of us.

so this song is about loseing passion for something, it can be something diffrent for every individual, for them it means loseing passion for music but for me it's about loseing passion about handball (sport). in their other MV for the song it started with the quote “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” - Martha Graham, so the "first death" would be loseing passion about what you love. it don't need a spesific reason to this action.

about your pinned: please don’t worry about having to know everything before hand 🥺ik some army can be a lot with correcting or requesting but i personally find your raw reaction and theorizing the best part of your channel. since the first video i felt like you just GET IT! of course u won’t know every detail that a long time army would but you are always so close to the message! it’s really impressive ! most reactors miss things completely, but i can see you actually put in the effort to understand their message and i think everyone appreciates that about you 💜 i hope you keep doing you! looking forward to the next video ~

I love how you just keep calling Jimin "Angel" since your first BTS reaction video

O my God. I just love you😍. Your reactions are honest, refreshing and hilarious. Thanks so much for doing this and please don't let the haters get to you. You're doing great💜💜💜

They used a quote from Martha Graham, who was one of the people made the constitution of modern dance, there is even a technic named after her. She said that when a dancer experiences death twice, the first when they stops dancing, it is like their first death, and the most painful one. I think bts here wants to say when they will stop making music it will be like their first death. I know this feeling exactly, I danced for 16 years in a high level(ballet, modern and contemporary dance), and I stopped when I went to university. It feels like something is missing till nowadays, if I see a dancer performance I am always near to crying. It really feels like dying a little bit.

BTS are really inspirational and there’s a saying “BTS finds you when you need them the most”. These 7 men have changed the way I live my life and how I view the world now. I try to be a better person every day. I wish you the best in your personal music journey. Whatever your goal is, I hope you achieve it 💜

I think that their fear of loosing their connection with music stems from the fear that what they do is becoming too much like work and not something they do out of passion. They’ve mentioned a couple time that they try and keep things moving and try to change things up to keep their “job” from becoming monotonous and unpleasant.

You've done a great job in your jump down the rabbit hole. The actual first video for this song is the Black Swan Art Film performed by MN Dance Company, which might answer or give you more insight into the song. I literally got chills the first time I saw it.

i laughed so hard when you said they found jin on the streets lmao

I love to see you discovering all those songs it feels like i'm discovering the songs again

Love your reactions alot..Makes me happy..And I am an Army ..thank you for reacting to our boys..💜 from India

You are an angel 👼🏼

There is a term used in business and the sciences, "black swan event." Because black swans are rare, it means something rare. Something that happens once in an eon. It could be an extraordinarily high-performing stock in the financial markets, it could be a company that does something unusual and successful that had not been conceived of before, it could be an invention that makes a lot of money in ways that had been thought to be impossible, it could be the discovery of a new galaxy or black hole where it was assumed that galaxy or black hole could not exist prior, things like that. There are a number of interpretations of the lyrics for this song. One thing I have not seen proposed, but which I believe is apt, is that BTS themselves are a black swan event. They are a once-in-a-lifetime group, who use music, dance, and performance to send messages of emotional and spiritual health packaged up in hip-hop and pop music. Who. Became. Crazy. Successful. RM would know that term. If he was using it as a metaphor in this song, for BTS's professional success, then here is my interpretation of the other things we see. The lyrics that talk about disconnection from music and first death have been explained by others. It is said that when this song was written, BTS members were exhausted and feeling pressured, and wanted to disconnect from everything. Personal experience has put me through stuff similar to that, and what happened to me was I became emotionally disassociated from things, as if my brain was saying, "take a rest, I'll still be here when you come back and get active again." But then, to come back, you have to go on a personal journey of reconnection. With yourself and your own creative capabilities. And you have to regain your confidence, and your rootedness in your own soul. About black wings, If you are a black bird, your black wings are expected and natural and wholesome. When Jimin gets his black wings, that is both his freedom and his burden. It is BTS's freedom and BTS's burden, too. Jimin is serving as an inflection point in the whole seven-member creative dynamic. He is being a temporary model for the creative process for the whole group. Wings let you fly. But also, You have to learn the skills to use them. So that becomes a burden. Also, they have a natural weight. That also becomes a burden. And their presence in your life means that you lose certain types of flexibility, in order to support the wings. And that too becomes the burden. As the song continues, Jimin and all the other members dance without wings. Sometimes their shadows are present, and sometimes they are not. I believe these passages are about the work that a person has to do to reconnect with their own creativity, and start to get their skills back after a hiatus. As a person works through that process, there are struggles and doubt, but there is also exercise of the muscles that control and support their wings, meaning their creativity. Because this is a serious narrative, and Life Goes On, the struggle and work is never completely finished. So there is no happy ending to the song, where everything turns to light and smiles. The end of the song shows that there is still some doubt, still some tiredness. But by the end of the song, the process is far enough along that it can be said that the artist, that BTS, have stepped back into creative life, and no longer feel disconnected from music, dance, and the spoken word art that they make. Just my two cents. I wrote the above after your remark about black wings. So now I've watched the rest of your reaction, and yes, your interpretation is right. (The first death comes from a quote that somebody did, where they said losing their connection with their art is the first death, that comes before the second death at the end of our lives.) 💜🌿💜

you said youre not getting it right as you NAILED IT OMG

LOVED your response!!! Thanks for reacting to one of my absolute favourite BTS songs/MV. The message of the song about dealing with fears of losing your love and passion for what drives you is so profound. The lyrics/sentiment are based on what the the legendary dancer, Martha Graham, once said, "a dancer dies twice-once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." The one at the very beginning, dancing is my bias JIMIN aka your Angel AND he also did the shadow dances for SUGA & JK so amazing! OMG Jimin gets BLACK WINGS because he IS THE BLACK SWAN!!! This MV is SO outstanding for me because of how JIMIN/Angel shines so bright. Jimin is not only a uniquely talented singer he is a PHENOMENAL dancer. Caitlin, Jimin was never a professional dancer but studied dancing! FYI, when this MV first came out and BTS were doing TV shows to promote it J-Hope/Hobi when asked immediately said it was all "JIMIN, JIMIN, JIMIN"! Many dancers/dance experts say Jimin is in a class of his own above the rest because he is able to reconcile his modern/ contemporary dance training with his BTS/Hip-Hop training which are antithetical, and extremely difficult to do! Great reaction - keep up the great job! AGAIN if you are interested in the incredible dance work for that video by Jimin/Angel then do check out "Jimin's Black Swan Solo Behind the Scenes - BTS" that BigHit put out under their [BANGTAN BOMB] series. ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrOWo5WbyLGZYoE.html )

You should start reacting to “Jungkook being a baby”,BTS all members introduction,Crack videos,Thw album BE ,Or other kinds! You are totally going to enjoy and you are my favourite reactor :)

i havent enjoyed reaction videos especially of bts or kpop in general because they dont seen genuine anymore and people just wanna hop on and profit of the hottest new thing, but im literally binge watching your videos right now and i can feel genuine interest and happiness radiating from you and it's reminding me of when i first discovered bts and that's everything i look for in reaction videos, so thank you for the great content and i hope bts and other kpop groups and artists will bring you joy inspiration and just a positive outlet in your life like they did mine.

You would love their practice videos. I love watching people who dance well and their practice videos are so satisfying. Not yet of course, cause you have sooooo many more videos to watch first but I feel like you will enjoy them down the line!!

The part where your weren’t sure if it was Suga or J-Hope, but settled with J-Hope is actually Suga ☺️ He actually does come in twice in this song. The beginning verse and the part right after J-Hope. I love this song. Even if someone didn’t read the lyrics, it’s still has a good beat and has that R&B/hip-hop feel. People probably already said this, but Jimin with the black wings is like him being the black swan. This song’s theme in terms of dance is up Jimin’s alley since his contemporary/modern dance background. The shadow dropping in the last scene is actually Jimin’s shadow, which is pretty haunting because it looks like you don’t know where it is coming from. I like how all the guys really hit their lines hard and with passion. Love their live performance of it on the Late Late Show with James Corden, which is actually the first time BTS revealed the song around the beginning of this year (before they released the music video later on). Then the most recent performance of it on the 2020 MMA (major Asian music awards) is amaaazing.

You got way more out of this than I did the first time I watched it. Keep doing what you are doing. What a nice reaction!

Hello beautiful, we ARMY do love your genuine reaction. I love your shocked face, big laughing, thoughtful comments, and entertaining editing. I found your channel today and watched all the BTS reactions straight, and I love what you do from the beginning. I can feel your warm heart and sweet and funny personality. I'm Japanese ARMY and actually I don't know how to tell what I'm feeling in English anymore, but I hope my love just reach you. Thank you for your great reactions, lots of love and respect! 💜💜💜

You have done your homework! Love it! And... who the heck cares how you react to these? Not everyone wants to follow the storyline, or to follow a set path. Music is about discovering what make you feel a certain way. You want to distinguish yourself from other reactors who are not reacting out of love for the group as a whole. That's wonderful! I loved the way you reacted initially, with your "head bubbling" all over the place. It was unique and fun and if a viewer doesn't want something blocked out, they should watch the original video and give that love to the artists. Then watch you react in a genuine way. You are so naturally funny, and real, and I have been enjoying you so much. Please, do you. Be you. You nice, keep going! Borahae~

RM was one of the main songwriter. He really put his soul into writing the lyrics.

You did a GREAT job understanding this song for a first listen. There are more layers of meaning too, but you got the main one right away--kudos! 👏🏽 "A dancer dies twice", the legendary choreographer Martha Graham said, "once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." And thank you for giving Jin a shout out. Lately I have been really noticing and loving his voice in particular, as well as his ability to portray emotions so well in his performing. You HAVE to watch the behind the scenes video for this. Not necessarily for a reaction video, but Jimin Angel in this is so amazing you can only really see it from watching him perfect his performance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrOWo5WbyLGZYoE.html

Just found your channel. It's growing fast! Anyway, this is one of three songs that RM cried while writing the lyrics. They are weighted down with resposabilities to their company, each other, and to us fans. There is a quote about two deaths... The first death is losing your love for your passion in what you do. In this case, creating music and performing. That would be their first death. At one point BTS was considering about not resigning their contract. Many fans could tell something was off because of watching videos but we didn't know how close they were to giving up until I think last year's MAMA Awards? Or was it two years ago? Time flies.

thanks for the reaction! If I may recommend, you can react to Jin's 'Epiphany' to know much more about his singing ability. he is a really good singer.

Omg I’m about to binge watch all your videos rn ❤️❤️❤️

7:07 was suga. the first also was suga. 7:56 was jin. they found him coming out of the bus so when they saw him they wanted him because he looked really handsome even tho he wanted to become an actor, so later on after he joined bts had training lessons for dancing and singing.

I love the way you analize their lyrics. It's something we do naturally, everytime, with every song, because they always tell us about how they are feeling, how they see the world, life. This is one of the way how we share (they and us) the experience of living in this world, in this century.

either if you didn't understand the meaning at first i think that you are fucking good at understand the deep meaning of the lyrics, it's amazing! i knew bts for one year when i saw this mv but i needed more than one view to understand what you did understand in 2min 😭

i like how you refer to jimin as angel... it’s amazing

There are a couple of great behind the scenes clips posted by BangtanTV, btw, showing Jimin filming the solo dancing parts for this MV. He worked his butt off.

I like that you went back to your "bubbles" and making this reaction channel more you that way. And I think you did great interpreting the song without the background knowledge. You're perceptive and intelligent and passionate. You nice, keep going! ;) There is no one right way to interpret a song, so whatever meaning you get out of it, however it strikes you personally, that's just as real as however someone else may interpret it. That is what art is, right? Please also bear in mind that BTS ARMY is a global fandom and many people comment in English when it is not their first language, so take the comments worded bluntly with a grain of salt and presume they have good intentions and are not attacks. Unless, of course, it's obvious they're attacking. then just ignore the haters. ha ha!

If I may make a suggestion. When reacting to BTS, you should watch their music videos twice: once to just listen and watch it Without pausing (it's difficult to get the vibe and the continuity of the song) and a second time to read/decipher their lyrics💜.

I love how you call Jimin, Angel. Respect for you maam

I love bits a lot

I realized at the first reaction that this is our girl

Omg, I am loving your BTS reactions and breakdowns!! Thank you much, I’m so excited to check out the rest of your videos!💜
