Caitlin, the Sewol Ferry tragedy explanation/theory videos for "Spring Day" are emotionally and mentally difficult to absorb. (There have been reactors who could not finish in front of a camera.) Just know, we have lasting respect for this "queen" of songs, especially the music video version.

Yes....do watch the behind the scene "Save Me", i was at awe to see their awesomness, dedication n funniest moments...know who is chasing who 🤣🤣🤣

[@reagan1312]

Spring day is such a meaningful song. Artists in SK were being blacklisted for speaking out about against the government. The director of Parasite was one of them. This was a HUGE cover up partly because of the ferry company's connection to politicians in power, and the government's previous changing and defunding of rescue services which resulted in a failure to rescue the victims (like they didn't even try, local fishermen had to try to save the students). They lied to the families and public. It was horrible. This song helped keep the tragedy in the forefront of the Korean public's mind, which added fuel to the driving force of the public will, eventually leading to the impeachment of their President. There's an explanation video for Spring Day if you interested. It was also just recently revealed that BTS and their CEO Bang PD met with the families of the tragedy to offer prayers/comfort and also donated in secret to them. BTS were only few years into their career when they released this song, so it was a huge risk for them. It just shows how passionate they are about doing what is right. They have never been afraid to call shit out in their own way, even within their own government. You should look up the song "Am I Wrong" and the story behind their performance if you wanna see them get political. EDIT: Also I should add while it has recently been confirmed to have connections to the disaster, this song was ultimately written as a way to comfort others. I think that's why they've performed this song again this year after so many years, as way to comfort ARMY during these difficult times.

[@imsinkingfast]

Hi! Just to let you know, Spring Day was released in Feb. 2017, so over 3 1/2 years after debut (not 2, maybe a typo?). Also, the Blacklist you referred to was exposed in mid 2016. It was one of the catalysts that prompted the presidents impeachment, which began in Dec. 2016. The list wasn't specifically about the Sewol Ferry. Any anti government speech got you on the list, but that ended in mid 2016 with it being exposed (and I'm pretty sure BigHit didn't need government financial assistance by this time anyway lol).

[@eternalsunshine6738]

Just to clarify. MV, choreography, lyrics match with Sewol Ferry tragedy, but RM with Suga explained multiple times how they wrote Spring day thinking about their friends. Suga actually told the whole story about his friend in Dear my friend, which was released this year, so explanations won't mention it They said because of the social environment at the time they decided to make a song that could comfort people, that's how Spring day was made

[@thanderlin4058]

Yes, thank you for mentioning this. It's not solely about the tragedy but it's about anyone who misses a loved one.

[@undarkwin]

But they can't neither confirm nor deny that it is about the tragedy, because of the government

[@AnnieDHarpie]

Lol. I consider these more “recent” if you want “old school,” you need to go back to 2013/2014... but seriously, all of their songs are amazing

[@LaurenMcGovern]

And then I think you will be VERY shocked by the changes lol

[@elenaastachova8228]

RM and Suga said they wrote Spring day based on their experience with old friends. Suga specifically wrote about the friend who went to prison (he is talking about the same person in his song Agust D - Dear my friend). But yes, "Spring day" and MV also relate to national tragedy, you can watch explanation, if you want to know more about it

PROFESSIONALS FROM THE BEGINNING lol . fun fact abt spring day: the last location with the snowy ground and the tree was real. that day it was so cold and they were wearing light clothes (if you're wondering, you can find it on their bangtantv channel)

"Boy Meets" is a teaser for their upcoming album and J-Hope's solo Boy Meets Evil. Also, I would recommend you also watch/listen to their song I'm Fine, which is the like ... partner song to Save Me.

[@crystalsnow1138]

I love when they perform I'm Fine and start it out with a part of Save Me. I love the choreo for I'm Fine. They just re-posted the I'm Fine performance from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon they had it removed for the longest time, but it's back-for now at least.

[@melgaye0]

Yes! perfect folks up to Save Me

[@dianifernandez8975]

After listening to SAVE ME, I recommend you listen to I'M FINE! I'M FINE is like a reverse version of SAVE ME, with lyrics saying that even if we don't have that other person to save us (like they say in save me), we are going to be fine because we are going to save ourselves. The guys really did a good job in reversing the song, and especially the lyrics. So if you react to IM FINE please pay special attention to the lyrics and if you need to you can compare them to SAVE ME, we don't mind longer videos lol Love your reactions!! Thank you for giving the guys a chance!!

[@ashleyder9164]

The behind the scenes shooting for Save Me really shows their dedication to their craft, heh ... it was cold, raining, and windy and they were out there all day working on it since they were doing it in one take, so they needed to run through the whole thing multiple times. And of course, they aren't wearing coats during the actual shooting.

[@jennell9194]

For spring day this song is one of the greatest kpop song ever it still charting in korean charts till this very day I recommend you to watch an explanation video for it to understand the story in this mv This song has a special place in armys hearts so beautiful💜

[@jacksreece8084]

Caitlin you are so on point with BTS. I am 68yrs old and teased about my love for them. The only people that get my interest in them is my daughter and her family because they are in the music industry. Problem is they live in another state so we exchange our favorite songs, videos through technology. They understand that I feel and love lyrics, music, vocals, visuals and choreography. Loved music and the arts all my life. Hasn't changed because of my age and never will.

Don't you worry about seeing the BU too early. Wouldn't "ruin" anything. You just would have to watch it again later and what would be the harm in that! 😉 And man, you are truly ot7 💜Adore your appreciation of Jin's voice. (Sounds like bogo shipda) 보고 싶어 -- I miss you is the first Korean phrase I learned. And yes, so many layers t Spring Day. Lyrics about lost friends with the overlay of a MV that clearly references the Sewol Ferry tragedy. Brilliant. And I agree the Italian one is the best for telling you what actually happened with the Sewol Ferry. The other ones maybe think we know all about it and although I remember hearing about it at the time, I didn't realize just how horrific it was.

Spring day : the boys never officially acknowledged the relation with the tragedy (in a recent interview, Jin said something about this, though...) , the song is not specifically about it, but the MV definitely refers to it, the explanation video leaves no doubt about it. But beside all explanations, official or not, the fact is that this song is, as you say yourself, getting to you... pressing on your throat. A little funny fact about it ? To cheer you up : Suga calls it their zombie song... cause it never dies... They still sing it (tiny desk concert perfect example) and it’s still on the charts. Welcome to the depth of the legend young lady.

yes jin said it in their recent variety interview or something.

[@chrisheavenlyonesbts3257]

I'm glad that you are also going to react to the Spring Day reaction video, you won't be sorry. Spring Day is the Queen and will reign forever. It has been on the charts since it came out in February of 2017....which is amazing. Also, every time BTS releases a new song, Spring Day rises on the charts. It is a song that will forever touch many peoples hearts.

[@bonezz6605]

This is personally my opinion on what “Spring Day” was about. Each member in “spring day”represents the survivors guilt that people who survived the ship sinking went through. They’re saying that they loved that person who passed, but they also hate them for leaving them alone. It feels like a cold winter without them, but they know spring day will come once they are able to let that person go. When V was running he was chasing the memories of that person, but time had already gone by without them. I think the shoes symbolizes letting go of that person. I’m not really sure what the full meaning of the song was but thats what I got from it.

[@ArtsyMario]

Save me and Spring Day are wonderful songs. Spring Day hits me more with how sad it is. I love the song but I dont listen to it enough mostly because it makes me sad, but I do LOVE it.

[@namjoonkim6541]

Spring day is a seasonal metaphor of comparing sadness into a long cold winter. Aside from the fact that the train symbolizes the movie "Snowpiercer" it's also a symbol of what grief feels like. Imagine yourself alone inside a train that never stops but never reaches a destination either. It goes in circles. Never escaping the cold winter that surrounds it.

Thannks for the reactions! I became an army like 6 years ago? I used to be soooo cray about them. It was one of my darkets days and they really helped me to understand what I was feeling, the way I related to their songs and the way their craft resonated with me was so powerful. (LONG ASS ESSAY AHEAD LMAO) I was really close to the fandom too and was a super active army but as a multi the peace didnt really last so I had to lay low for my own peace. MBMIL era was my fave! I thought that even as a grandma Ill still be a hardcore army. But then after Fake Love their songs didnt really resonated with me much but I still held on since I really love the boys. But then during their western activities I laylowed on them. I just kind of lost a touch. I wasnt super ecited about their releases anymore. Im still updated, but not much involved. As a multi it was also hard to keep up and bear with the growing, toic sid of the fandom and although I promised that I wouldnt let fandom issues affect my love for the boys, it still did a toll on me and I wasnt as hyped as I was for them anymore. It was so painful, honestly. I'll always stan them but the fact that I was losing that spark, there came I time where I felt like I was forcing myself to keep on just for th sentimental value, th memories. I may sound oa but it really mattered that much to me. I felt like shit, like I just used them to help me during my dark times. But I rally love them, so now Im going back to the lane and rekiving the feels while watching your reactions! It brings so much nostalgia and feels to me. I still dont love their past few releases (dynamite, butter, etc.) but I like it! As much as I missed thir past sound, I respect their pace and art. Sorry for the long ass essay just had to get it off my chest. Thank you for making my journey to memory lane happier!

Loved your reaction as always, and I'm so excited that you plan on watching the Tiny Desk concert! It's one of my favorite things they've done. (although I'm relatively new ARMY - May 2020 - so I haven't seen everything yet! Just a lot of it! XD) One thing I love about Spring Day is that they performed it a few times in 2020 as a way to comfort people during the pandemic, so while they may have been inspired to create it based on the Sewol Ferry tragedy, the song and its lyrics (and hopeful message) can be applicable to many things. It made me appreciate the song even more. Anyway, looking forward to more of your reactions! :)

2 of their best songs and best videos that have made an impact. One video was a one shot while th he other may have been there most beautiful, impactful song ever...

[@HeatherQuinn]

About Jimin's looks... In 2016, he was a young-looking 21. Now he's 25, and in the past 18 months really looks like a man in his face. His face has changed the most, as he has matured. But ever since he was a teenager, body-wise he has had the musculature of an adult man. The amount of fat he carries on his body varies, depending on his age, whether he is doing a diet, and if they are doing a tour, how far into the tour they are, because he goes so hard in his dancing. But the biggest thing I think is a combination of the color of his hair at the time, and the songs he is performing. Because he is a story-teller, he inhabits the songs when he performs, like an actor. He can look like a cute older child, a nerd, a bad boy gamer, or a glamorous rockstar, all over the course of a day or two, depending on what he is singing and dancing to, and how he is costumed. His makeup and hairstyle can change his face dramatically. I always recognize his body, the shape of his head, his jaw, his eyes, and his nose. Everything else can change. Especially, his face can look long or square, depending on hairstyle and makeup.

[@Carol-ly5fb]

Spring day was written about their own experience. RM said he knows this song reminds about tragedy, but they left it open for interpretation. We know only about Suga's lyrics and they are not about tragedy, they are about his personal life and the loss of a friend to drugs. It's also important to remember MV and song are different things. Song is mostly written by members, but they usually are not involved into creating MVs

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

it can be about multiple things many koreans have said this is what the song is about. armys need to learn to stop thinking bts songs are 1 dimensional every single song has multiple meanings not just 1. they also revealed recently that it was about the ferry but they can not say it any more directly than they have.

Save me is one of my favorite lead tracks :) Thank you for the video! I binged them up till now so now I'll get to follow your journey! Looking forward to the spring day explained and tiny desk concert :) I hope you're having a good day!

[@melaniaalfanita6634]

as always, i love ur reaction :")

[@Holly-kj6rs]

Love your reactions girl! You are spot on with the clothes pile representing the dead. There's way more, the video is literally stuffed with symbolism. I highly recommend watching an explanation video for spring day. We would all love to watch it with you, but I do caution you: it's heavy. Please take care of yourself first. 💜

[@tracie875]

I'm glad you did this before tiny desk. I felt like they elevated the songs by 100000000 doing tiny desk. Welcome to the rabbit hole army 💜

[@shreshisharma9158]

save me is a masterpiece it deserves more recognition❤& spring day is the queen of all songs period.💜

[@ashleyder9164]

The train in Spring Day is referencing Snowpiercer, which RM mentions in his lyrics at the beginning. It is a Korean movie. Here is the plot summary: "Survivors of Earth's second Ice Age live out their days on a luxury train that ploughs through snow and ice. The train's poorest residents, who live in the squalid caboose, plan to improve their lot by taking over the engine room." Some people believe that the reference to Snowpiercer is focused around the social injustice done to the students who drowned on the ship because they were told to 'stay in their place' while the captain and crew abandoned the ship. Others believe that it is a metaphor for the grieving process ... a train circling endlessly through a perpetual winter. I think it is probably elements of both. I like, though, how JK seems to be alone on the train for most of the MV and towards the end the camera pans out and reveals the others were with him all along. And of course, this song is on their album "You Never Walk Alone." And yes, the clothes represent the dead. It is actually based on a French art exhibit, although I don't remember who the artist is.

[@sornotson]

I recommend you dis-ease from their new album. There's no mv but the song its AMAZING. FOR REAL YOU SHOULD REACT TO ALL THE SONGS FROM BE ALBUM

[@salmonnoa5461]

up

[@salmonnoa5461]

yes please

[@camiheable]

I'm really enjoying your channel and how your react. Very sincere and it brings me back three months ago when I discovered BTS!! All the emotions but mostly joy during a hard year. After enjoying the emotional Spring Day and crying my eyeballs out, I like to recover by watching their carpool karaoke.

[@k8rip]

the boy meets... thing was a teaser for a song that hadn't come out yet, boy meets evil, which was the intro for the album wings and also a jhope solo btw~ It's considered by most people to be part of the storyline, but I'm excited to see your reaction to it, whenever you get to it! :D

[@deadsoon]

Hi!!! Glad to see ya back :))

[@cindylepo6784]

I know others mentioned it but RM wrote this song while sitting in a park thinking of missing loves ones. This song has been most related to the National Sewol Ferry disaster. Students were on a field trip and were on a ferry that was going down. Instead of the captain and his crew mates helping the students evacuate the told them to stay on board seated while the captain and crew abandoned ship. Many of the students died. Worse, the government ATTEMPTED to cover it up. This song is the nation's song. It has not left the Korean music charts one day since it was released. Its the longest charting song in Korean chart history. Please react to Spring Day Explained and watch a live stage. The choreography is beautiful. Prepare to be blown away.... im gonna go watch it (again) myself. 💜💜

[@llllfredyllll2318]

There is this rlly interesting analysis video for spring day on yt! The person goes through the video step by step and just talks about references to the Korean movie "snowpiercer" and the book "omelas" and rlly does an in depth analysis of the video, the creator did another one for blood sweat and tears as well! They’re great! Just type in "spring day analysis" or sth XD

[@llllfredyllll2318]

Oh it’s by "don’t worry I’m not afraid" :)

[@JC-fw9bg]

@@llllfredyllll2318 Yes, this explanation video is great too! This particular video does not relate the Spring Day mv to the Sewol Ferry tragedy, but instead it correlates it to loss. What makes BTS timeless is that the listener/viewer can interpret their music/lyrics/MVs in anyway they want, it’s open to interpretation. This is what makes BTS so relatable and loved across all ages, ethnicities, and genders.

[@monam8763]

I cry every time with this video! 😭 this was the video that got me into BTS. Time flies. 💜 this song/video is such a gem.💎

[@lollypopjoy495]

Yeeeee!!!I love you girl,you sooo cutieee😳💜💜

[@papercut4436]

Please check their Tiny Desk Concert. they were singing Dynamite, Save me, and Spring day!!

[@phoebemorris44]

Yes, these are two great music video....thank you for your reaction. There is so much to see from BTS and their choreography is amazing! 🙂💜

[@tamanna9470]

ALSO SIDE NOT CAITLIN YOU BY FAR HAVE SOME OF MY FAV REACTIONS LIKE I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS SO MUCH BECAUSE IT IS SO RELATABLE

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

just wanna let you know since many armys never say this. EVERY bts song has multiple meanings. can be part of a storyline or based on a true event can be each members individual meaning can be theories and the way fans relate etc there is no 1 interpretation or meaning for each song. that being said spring day has many meanings about friendship both hypothetical and real. it can be tied to bts storyline. it is also about the ferry tragedy. and many armys have also had their own interpretations and relate to it in different ways. all are correct since music is subjective. i just want you to keep that in mind going forward with your bts reactions. sometimes the meaning may be straightforward other times it can be multiple meanings. thats the beauty of bts music :)

[@caitlinbensonn]

Yeah! I totally understand! Thank you so much for the comment! I truly do appreciate people that add information! I don’t know everything so it’s super helpful when you guys comment and explain things to me! 💜 As someone who is studying Music and who writes music, I always analyze things. I know some people think i dive too deep sometimes but music is always written with a message intended and I love figuring it out rather it’s a serious one or a laid back one. I definitely know that this song could mean multiple things but I love giving my take on what it could mean to me personally! ☺️
