[American Ghostwriter] Reacts to: BTS (방탄소년단) 'FAKE LOVE' Official MV- I'M SPEECHLESS

[@imajinallthepurple]

- The huge background at the beginning actually forms see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. - The Save Me you noticed is also a song of theirs. If you turn it upside down it says I'm Fine. They're sister songs describing an inner lonely turmoil vs getting emotionel support from the outside. If you watch them live they have a fluid musical transition from one to the other. - The fire was enhanced (but it was there) and of course V's phone and the shadow of Jungkook's hands were CGI but they freakin built the rest of it! - There're a lot of storyline references in this video so some of the imagery might not quite make sense if you don't know it, like the hooded figure at the end. - If I may make a suggestion I think you should try Dionysus next. It's artistry described through the greek god Dionysus, god of wine, performing arts, abundence, etc. Amazing song!

[@ericweinman9447]

The Save Me/I'm Fine you allude to actually shows up on the screens of some of the the flashing Samsungs if you freeze frame at the right points..

[@MSy-u3y]

Newer to ARMY but older in age...NEVER saw that interpretation of the opening background. Thank you for the meaningful "catch"!

[@ashleyder9164]

In short with the James thing, he made a poorly phrased joke on his show in which he implied that BTS speaking at the UN was "unusual" and that their fifteen year old girl fans were probably interested in politics for the first time just to watch them. Sigh. The whole "all their fans are teenage girls" trope is a huge sensitive point with their extremely diverse and largely not teenage fanbase, so it was one of the worst things he could have chosen to target as a joke. And since this was the third time BTS has spoken at the UN, and they went their as official diplomatic envoys of their government, people found his jokes about their presence their distasteful, particularly since he made no effort to acknowledge the very real and important issues they were speaking on. It's things the fanbase is just used to hearing now, but it created more backlash because he has always presented himself as a fan of BTS himself and as supportive of them and their fans. So there was a sense of betrayal tied to the jokes that were already in poor taste.

[@inuyashalovergyal]

Fake Love is part of the BU storyline, you'd have to start from 2015 and watch the videos in order to understand every little thing in this MV because it's all connected! The beginning of the storyline is the I Need U MV

[@squishycoveswena]

I'd love it if you could please also take a look at their songs Butterfly, The Truth Untold, Blue and Grey, Stigma, Telepathy, or Zero O'clock? Or Suga's solo song The Last or RM's solo songs moonchild or forever rain? Even just one of these please?

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Of course I will! I will get to them all ❤️

[@squishycoveswena]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial thank you sir 💜

[@ilikehatecommentsmorethann5825]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial I also want you to react bts songs like paradise, mikrokosmos, 2!3, nevermind, epiphany, etc This mv is the storyline of bangtan universe or BU which starts from I need you. To know about their storyline pls watch the storyline summary video which was explained by x Celeste. Also I want you to react the explanation videos of their songs like ddaeng, baepsae, idol, spine breaker, blood sweat and tears, persona, shadow, ego, etc

He did 00:00 before lol

[@jiieepee]

I think Black Swan by BTS is a must see!

[@elenaastachova8228]

*New song produced by SUGA has been released: "You" by OMI*

[@carriemacleod2241]

I don't know if you caught it but the Save Me on the wall reads I'm Fine if you flip it upside down.,

[@larewi6765]

Both are great songs, and when you know that the beginning of I’m fine is the same as Save Me, but reversed, it blows your mind.

[@HarrisaSports]

I usually come here for the Blackpink reactions but BTS are an absolutely phenomenal group. And this is one of my top 5 songs of theirs. And the MV is ridiculous.

[@raypedia]

The closed captions on official MVs are put in there by the label, it's not KZbin generated. If you ever see a video that isn't well translated, you can also check the channel "Enjoy BTS More" who does very faithful translations and puts up lots of them.

[@deerogerson6480]

Save me is the name of one of their songs. ita awesome

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

This song is just is passionate and the video is pure art. They built insane sets for this and no one films videos like them. The imagery in their videos is beyond complex and this also ties into BU (BTS Universe the complex story thread running for years now - for ex JHope on the pike of candy is a reference to his mother in the story abandoning him with only a candy bar). We always love BTS. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@vmkoya4080]

I love this song. My daughter introduced me to BTS almost 3 yrs ago now and this is the first song I hear from them. But I really didn't start listening to BTS til just last yr during lock down and it give me time to actually listen to the music and learn more about them as a group and as people and I just love them. I totally fell down the rabbit hole and have listened to all the albums (except the Japanese albums) but have listen to the Japanese original songs which always hit differently. My favorites being Film Out, Let Go, Your eyes Tell, and Stay Gold. It looks like you have only started and have a lot more to go through and their solo song are another thing too. They just have it all. Jimin's song Promise, Jin's song Epiphany, Jungkook's song Begin, V's song Sweet Night, RM'S song Reflection, Suga's aka Agust D song The Last, and J-Hope's song Blue Side (the full version) and so much more. Have fun going through their music.

[@priyanand5414]

This was my first BTS song that I watched. It was the one that made me fall in love with them and made me an Army💜 to this day its my fav BTS song. This song is truly soo deep and a masterpiece.

[@mdc1746]

Always enjoy your reactions, thank for taking your time as their songs are lyrical and beautiful!💜

[@airyfairy2396]

I'm not sure whether you've already known about it, BTS had their own fictional story throughout some former specific MVs and short films. Based on the fictional story, Jhope's mom left him in the amusement park with the snikers bar in his hand when he was a child and never came back. So the scene with jhope lying on the snickers bars represents his trauma about 'fake love'. Water with jimin and fire sceneswith suga are also related to each character's trauma in the storyline.

[@reyyy8882]

"Save me" in the background... if you look at it upside down reads as "I'm fine"

[@ChronicReader]

House of Cards next!

[@gabrielasacramento4516]

Omg! I just love this song!!! Jungkook’s and jin’s acting skills here are insane. And jungkook’s voice is always incredible. This coreografia is amazing and every member did so well. Like always Jhope is killing with the dance moves. This mans are impressive. Please react to “Euphoria” by Jungkook, “Moon” by Jin and “Daechwita ” by august D (suga)

[@debrapearson4859]

I so agree with your final comments, these guys are amazingly talented. It is great to watch the genuine enthusiasm from you.🙂

[@debsuk8249]

Great review of a lovely song! Their songs are deep and fascinating. Keep up with the BTS, they're the best!

[@amiree8569]

Anyone saying they dont like their MVs probably just dont like them period lol i mean even if you don't like the music surely the artistry has to be appreciated. Also all MVs i believe should be accurate in terms of lyrics as they are official videos. Im pretty sure its only their very early MVs that dont have ENG SUBS available so the translation can be off if fan made... but as you said Doolset is . If im wrong with above info though someone can correct me lol 😂💜

[@rawrstephy]

Daechwita

[@c-dragon4286]

I agree! I think you will love Daeshwita! It's under Agust D - Suga's solo rap name.

[@milabion9647]

#Jungkook is the vocalist hand Of BTS, the center, the pillar that galvanizes BTS. he does all the harmonies, adlibs and vocal guides for the members.

[@Pikaxsu]

Save me/I'm fine is very known ambigram (not only BTS related, but WAY older), a picture that says one thing one way and flipped upside down it says another thing. - Those welcome mats that say "Welcome" as you come into the house and "Go away" when you leave, are ambigrams. ONE of the histories of this ambigram is a depression and suicide awareness campaign by an organization called Samaritans of Singapore. And through that it blew up into internet in 2015. But it is a way older than that. 💜

[@jacquereid9958]

This song is connected to the BU which is deep and dark 💜 complete with alternate universes and timelines. It is an overarching story that connects several albums. Even if you don’t down the BU rabbit hole you can still enjoy the songs, like you said they are so well written and preformed. The songs are all unique and carry important messages 💜 great job looking forward to seeing you soon💜

[@Pikaxsu]

BU meaning Bangtan Universe (BU) - ALSO carrying motto to ARMY : "Be You!"

[@ForgetfulDreams6]

you should check out the live performance of save me into im fine. save me is, of course, a cry for help. im fine, is figuring out you can depend on yourself. there is a combo video that actually has the performances shortened, i think to fit the timeframe of the program they were on.

[@MaiNguyen-lw7yk]

Thank you so much for your honest reaction to BTS. Your passion, deep reflections and love for good music, artistry and creativity of BTS's works keep me coming back to see you every time.

[@ClawtheClouds]

Yooooo! Gotta say. Please do Stray Kids. You already started with BTS and Black Pink. Stray Kids needs to be on your channel somehow! God's Menu is insane AND it is RAP! Much love! Keep up pushing Cliff! We see you! Much love

[@lisasenglishconversationcl3582]

It's official! I really love your reaction channel! (Especially because of your BTS content.) I love how you have progressed from your first BTS video to now! I wasn't sure you would come to appreciate their amazing talents as much as you have. This particular reaction made me so happy! Thanks for that! Borahae! 💜

[@Gigicurious]

If you like the lyrics.... A MUST is watch the video BTS explained by Korean... Daechwita, Intrude Shadow. Idol and Black Swan... !! BTS music and MV is filled with references history, literature, mythology, artworks, classic music, psychology... and more. One of my favs is Daechwita which is filled with references to Korean royal history. It is not only a diss track for haters, but also to the Korean establish KPOP industry. It also a double meaning regarding fame... you can follow up by watching Interlude Shadow which is filled with reference to Carls Jung the grandfather of psychology. The entire Map of the Soul album is filled with his concepts regarding the mind. If you read some concepts of Carl Jung the albums as well as songs/MV like Black Swan will be enlightening. :)

[@ashleyder9164]

This music video is part of the Bangtan Universe, so a lot of the imagery is related to the storyline. :) Fake Love was part of the second album in the Love Yourself series, which builds on the conflict of trying to love others at the expense of loving yourself. It is a lead of to the final album in that series in which the songs Epiphany and Answer: Love Myself conclude that we must learn to love ourselves. :) There was no "who" at the end...it was a cloak and mask hanging on a coat hanger. "Masking" yourself was a theme in that album.

[@reyyy8882]

There's also a longer version of this mv. You can check it out.

[@claudiavellary3450]

Save me is a ambigram , if you flip over the word it become im fine.

[@melwigs]

Save me and I’m fine are both bts songs, love how there’s meaning in the smallest details. Fake love is also part of the BU. If you haven’t heard of it you’ll come across it eventually :) Meh, the James Corden thing really isn’t much imo, he implied that their appearance at the UN general assembly (speech and performance) was weird, and that bts fans are all 15 yr old girls. Or at least you could interpret it this way if you’re being sensitive about it. I think some ARMYs took offence due to the perceived “closeness” of their relationship and that bts has a history of being used and tossed away. But the reality is he’s a comedian, their relationship is a business one that benefits both parties, and he could’ve said this or worse about anybody else and not been “cancelled.” Don’t get me wrong, I don’t love what he said and how he said it either, but sometimes I feel like our fandom digs it’s own grave with some of this stuff. I love us but we really gotta work on not cancelling people lol I think it’s mostly younger ARMYs. It does our boys no good.

[@juneseghni]

middle aged ARMY here. So agree; often times ARMY shoots itself in the foot.Now we have the reputation of a bunch of butthurt snowflakes.

[@melwigs]

@@juneseghni right! I love that we stick up for ourselves and BTS, it’s how we got all the way here! But when we gatekeep so hard we’re gatekeeping BTS from further achievements too. I know it’s a strong statement but I hope our fandom isn’t looked down on in history. When people look back I know we all want them to marvel at BTS’s innovation and not attribute the unrivalled popularity to anything negative.

[@Cozycultcreations]

YES Thank You!!! Even though I'm a 39 year old fan (I just can't call myself ARMY anymore b/c of stupid sht like this) I understand that these relationships with western personalities are business for each and very good business at that. Fans are taking it too far by their behavior and it is going to end up making the fandom live up to the things others say about them. There are already complaints by some friends in one of my discords from the horrible treatment from "army". It also makes BTS look rather weak as grown adult men that can't take care of themselves...

[@melwigs]

@@Cozycultcreations I’m trying to just remind myself that we don’t have to associate ourselves with these people just because we have a strong community. The internet is a breeding ground for excessive behaviour and unfortunately it’s those least stable of us who are the loudest. Sometimes it seems like it’s the most of us but remember it’s a minority. There are more realistic/stable/mature/intelligent ARMYs than not💜

[@XandycamX]

You gotta check out Stray Kids “Thunderous”

[@charliepalma8337]

Pls REACT to FAKE LOVE MASHUP with DDU DDU DU so lit I promise to that to you Cliff

[@heyrobwest3908]

The closed captions lyrics are BTS videos are not KZbin auto generated captions they would be all messed up I've reacted two auto generated KZbin captions of BTS and on that video KZbin had them singing I'm grown so I can drink celery in part of their lyrics I know that was not in any of their lyrics! The English lyrics in BTS videos are correct because they are done by BTS army fans or directly by HYBE labels formerly known as big hit entertainment.

[@cheryldalis7071]

Per RM, the album with Fake Love should be listened to in order...because it tells a story. V has a song, "Singularity", if you see that video and then " Fake Love" you will see a lot of similarities (the location, the flower V is holding, the coat racks..and more.) I don't want to ruin it for you, just go check it out!!! 😁💜

[@xheralt]

Amber Liu of f(x) did a _hilarious_ low-budget DIY parody of this song called "Bacon Love"

[@sugasmeow]

The MV does not necessarily go along with the lyrics. This MV is a part of the Bangtan Universe. If you ever do a series of the BU you’ll understand the MV better. Fake Love is on the second Love Yourself album. The first album, LY:Her, is about finding that fated love, that perfect love we all dream about. The title track is DNA. That love is in their DNA. The second album is LY: Tear. This talks about that perfect love being torn apart. The title track is Fake Love. Changing yourself to become who your partner wants you to be. The third album is LY: Answer which gives us the answer to finding love. And that is by loving yourself first and being true to yourself. The title track is Idol, which is a celebration for loving ourselves.

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to a song, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with their song Gods & Gold

[@Pikaxsu]

If you are feeling pandemic blues, please do not start BU, it is not a happy and cute storyline. (Oh wow, the understatement of the century!) The important BU Elementals in Fake Love MV : Junkook with the Air (Flower petals illuminating it) Jin with the Earth (sand -> Smeraldo flower) Suga with Fire Jimin with Water J-hope with Snickers (This is a meme, but not necessarily a lie..)

[@ericweinman9447]

I honestly cannot imagine an ARMYs who find fault in BTS music videos. Sometimes fans want to express a preference for live performances. But I would be more inclined to think fans from other fanbases simply are trying to divert your attention hoping for more reactions to their favorite group. That occurs a lot in BTS reactions.

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

There is a lot of “shadow work” from a Jungian perspective as they seem to confront their own shadow self as JK sees through their defenses. You can also see Winnicott and the idea of burning things down to see what is real. And Klein’s idea of the split we form of “all good/all bad” when confronted with our own selves and what we are uncomfortable with about ourselves…

Yes you're an American, because the United states is on the continent of North America. America is not the name of the country of which you are a citizen. That country is the United States. How do I know this well if you were from Greenland you would say you're from Greenland. You could be from Mexico Spanish people look white, but you don't have a Spanish accent though you're speaking English. Definitely not from Haiti thanks speak English. Definitely not from Canada 'cause they don't even realize that they're Americans because Canada is on the American continent. And they call United states citizens Americans. Well 344 likes and 4 dislikes and 24+ hours before. A whole day ago you posted this I watched a video just before this one. Was posted on the KZbin at around 9:00 o'clock in the morning today had 4,900 likes? Not everybody that watches KZbin videos even bother to leave a like or dislike let alone leave a comment. And this individual that got 4900 likes chopped out half of the video or more that he was reacting to.
