BTS (방탄소년단) 'Black Swan' Official MV(REACTION)

[@ashleyder9164]

Black Swan is an artistic masterpiece and I wish it had gotten way more recognition than it did.

[@Always4Bangtan]

I wanted them to submit THIS mv for the Grammys so badly. The song is incredible, and I remember when the video dropped as a surprise.. it's so perfect. 💜

[@namitales]

Same. This and the one with MN dance company, I was actually mind blown because I expected much more recognition for this masterpiece. And yes, I call Black Swan a piece because it’s just living ART. 💜

[@Always4Bangtan]

@@Luna_lips I personally like Dynamite a lot (I know not everyone feels that way), but artistically speaking, there is just no comparison. 💜

[@bauistik3982]

that's contemporary dancing that Jimin especializes in. Jimin is such a beautiful and very graceful dancer. BTS is the best! there's nothing like BTS!

[@rileyonthatbeat3047]

Fun fact: The *"Shadow"* behind *Suga* is actually *Jimin* dancing and *Suga* has a song named *"Shadow"* that you need to react to asap. *"Black Swan"* is *Park Jimin's* song, he really shined with his contemporary dancing 😌💯

[@whyareyouparkingjimin8686]

I think the shadow is J-Hope, that is what I saw in a behind the scenes video of the making of this MV

Bro it's fireee

[@Dashomin]

Ye and make sure he know Suga is in BTS hahaha

[@Always4Bangtan]

Yup yup yup.. 💜

[@anikasagar]

ooooh articulate is a great way to describe Jimin's dance. It expresses the meaning of the song very well (I interpret it as conveying the pain and hopelessness of losing passion for something you love because then it feels like you don't know yourself anymore)

[@alexandraaw7397]

Jimin really captures you with his performance, and he can convey that emotions so well that he can draw you in.

[@Alexis-jw7cm]

Don’t worry about pausing I actually really appreciate when you guys pause and take your time to talk about the video :)

[@maddencovers5890]

I don’t mind when reactors pause. I like their commentary and opinions. Sometimes I’m like “stop! You just let the moment go by without stopping!!!” lol. Or they have to talk over good parts. That’s more annoying. People who complain about pausing should just go watch the original video.

[@janferdus]

Jimin is the one who is dancing the solo dances in this and yes you’re right he’s trained in contemporary, watching him is like watching a whole art show. He’s so smooth and silk like, you feel like you can take your eyes off him 😅 anyway you really won’t be disappointed when you get to see more of their songs and especially live shows, you’ll hear their raw voices and see they’re charismatic choreography 💜 keep it up boys x

[@juliafernandez8603]

This group is sensational, I had never seen a group that had all styles of music and did it great in all of them, and that sing like angels while dancing and dancing from jip jop to traditional dansa, that is so passionate about their work in perfection regardless of all the pain problems that they cause them, and that they love their fans as the most important part of their lives and what they have with humility they thank them, that they have a heart of gold, and sensitivity to help who can, especially to young people, trying to give good messages in their songs and in their behavior, with a unique respect towards women and the elderly; I really take my hat off to them, and they deserve the best grammy that can be given them, the unconditional support, and behold the definitive recognition of the grammys

[@JusDavN]

Yall should watch the Live version they did of this on Fallon. A whole week of live performances. Peep - HOME. The Fallon live...trust me lol

[@ashleyqueen1162]

I told you BTS is EXTRAORDINARY SPECIAL..YOU CANT SEE LIKE THEM IN ANOTHER GROUP..I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT..AND BTS CAN DO ALL KINDS OF GENRES ALL OF THEM ARE TALENTED..HANDS UP!!!💜💜💜💜💜👑👑👑👑👑

[@CP_LUVS]

Hiya! LOVE your reaction. Yes Jimin is trained in contemporary dance, as well as other styles. Love this video and song. I hate that COVID really kinda put a damper on the album and the amazing music and MVs that came out last year. There is an intro for their 2020 MMA (award show) performance that was the orchestral version of this song that was used for just the opening of the nearly 20 minute set they did for that show, and they debuted the performance of this song on James Corden but honestly every time they have performed this has been a little different and so amazing. Hope you check out more. There is also the original MV that was released for this song that is the orchestral base but the whole song, but is performed by a European dance company. It is so amazing and interpretive. Thanks!!!

[@latifaakharraz2818]

Black Swan is a masterpiece.

[@raquelarcienega839]

Well BTS has 250 songs, every si hle song bring us something different. BTS KINGS OF MATERPIECE. Don't forget that they are much better live. 💜💜

[@kobretti5328]

🤣💜

[@Anabel795]

BTS is pure talent 👏💜 KINGS!

[@mirapyaar8932]

Glade you enjoyed this,that guys who you liked his dance is jimin (vocalist ,dance) before joining Bts was initially top best students in art schools "modern contemporary dance department" ,+he had black belt in taekwondo ..Black swan" is one of my fav songs of them from their album "map of souls" in term of instrumental , good contemporary dance . But also the beautiful deep meaning of lyrics.as you notice like lines " It would be my first death..that what I'm afraid of " It has that emotional theme of an artist fear for losing their passion for the what they do..with this song bts dives deep into their inner selves as artists nd faces the shadows they had once hidden. The song lends voice to their fears that one day music will no longer be able to move or touch them. The very moment they come face to face with the ‘Black Swan’ within themselves, however, they are stricken with a paradoxical realization that music is all they have. It is a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself..it's also inspired from Martha Graham, who said “A dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.”...

[@sofiaromero2140]

Jimin dancing and with the wings!!!! Soooo awesome!!!! Thank you guys!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ayesha4278]

I can trust my whole life with the person who says 'Black swan' is their favourite bts song.

[@Nettepooh014]

Mannn this song deserves more attention. I don’t know about y’all but this song needed to be played on the radio constantly 🙌🏾

[@TagTeamReactions_Jay]

Literally after we reacted to this , I’ve played this song everyday about 20 times a day . I’m currently playing now ! Lol

[@ot7stan207]

this is the song that shoulda been at grammys. this is a masterpiece, a piece of art.

[@cassandradenise3037]

i think you were trying to think of them doing Contemporary Dancing

[@nishnish4845]

The one doing the solo shots is Jimin.One of the main dancers and the only contemporary dancer in the group, that's y de video was showcasing his talent.He's an amazing dancer and a vocalist.

[@zaynablayla7870]

LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!! Please don’t apologize for pausing or rewinding and expressing your feelings about the video. Waiting for more bts content. You can react to their live performances they are really great

[@taetaoeve5331]

Jimin's dance is incredible, he prepared a lot for that dance

[@Lin-kk5be]

That’s not even fcking true. He himself said he improvised the steps. I can’t believe 115 ppl liked this misinformation.

[@sunshinesam6399]

@@Lin-kk5be if you watch the video of him doing his dance behind the scenes, you can see what they mean by that. He was very tired but still kept going to get it right. Him preparing doesn’t have to mean with choreography, but with energy or things like that. And his dance was incredible, I think we can all agree with that

[@ami2017angel]

RM is the main lyricist of this song. Black Swan" dives deep into the group's fears as artists. In the song, the group details their fear of losing their passion for music, and how they are determined to never let themselves reach that point, because music is all they have.

[@jae8697]

The shadow dancing in the background at first is Jimin. One of the main dancers of BTS. He's phenomenal!

[@deejohnson4793]

Thanks for appreciating B.T.S. Think u will enjoy the Blackswan performance from the James Corden show too. It is performed in the 2020 MMA Awards. Masterpiece!

[@Womanlike123]

This deserved more hype in my opinion. Onomatopoeia sounds are really loved in songs and that's okay but like this type of artistic music should be recognized as well. I feel so sad that music is now all flashiness and trend.

[@jazmingomez5299]

I will never get tired of this song, I agree with you too it's my favorite song by BTS

[@_.iamhoneey7826]

Okay I know next is "Who is BTS the 7 members of bangtan" but after that please you have to check out: - Shadow - Pied Pipers - Dimple - House of Card - My time - Still with you And a funny video I know you have things to do and you're trying your best so take your time we will wait ^^ Have a nice day guys 💜

[@Elina_frst]

yes yesss

[@raeavilez9936]

It's so good to see you guys cheesing like that lol! Black Swan is an amazing piece, everything from the music to the dancing to the lyrics, my favorite part. BTS acknowedging the fear that all artists share, "What if my art doesn't speak to me anymore?"

[@gigglemethis]

Black Swan has been my favorite since it dropped and the combo of the melody, bass, and just the overall beat was so freakin' epic and different. 👌

[@leseulliji2230]

I always wait for your BTS reactions. :)

[@jerrycontent1900]

Finally guys we did it... thank u so much!!!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 this is the versatility of this group, they touch everything, every style.. they brought always something news. I can't wait for 'Butter'. Peace guys we purple you.

[@LilacLoveMaze0613]

I’m so glad you loved this so much! It’s one of my all time favourites too. The dance is BEAUTIFUL and the atmosphere they create is amazing. The lyrics are SO well done, it’s describing how loss of love for your art is like dying your first death (based on a quote from a famous dancer about how the day a dancer stops dancing is the day the dancers dies their first death). And the way they describe the depression surrounding it is so fucking tangible! Like when they describing it I was like “YES THATS EXACTLY IT!”. The ocean floor lines hits hard if you’ve ever suffered from depression I reckon. And like you said, the beat is sick! 💜 It’s a masterpiece, it really should have gotten more attention. Jimin (the dancer you referred too) is incredible. I’m a dancer and he is the only dancer who has actually brought me to tears with his ability to convey emotion through his movements. Watch the live performance (any one, honestly they’re all great!) or watch the dance practice (I watch it heaps, the detail you see in their movements are awesome)!

[@minbeomu]

Glad how we all agree Black Swan is THAT song.! The moment it was released I can remember the shock that shot through me.

[@btsbuttermay2146]

Black swan enthusiasts rise!!!!! Live performances of black swan are amazing! Thank you for giving this masterpiece love!!

[@MsJanoli]

My favorite too! I recommend Danger , Just One Day,;Tomorrow, Autumn Leaves, I like it, We On and House of Cards….these last five songs I mentioned don’t have music videos, but they up the same vibe and alley. Their older albums have a lot more R&B songs.I think I missed a few more songs.

[@ellie_jeann]

In the MV they display the meaning behind the track, Jimin shows it through his solo freestyle dancing reflecting their shadows since he’s the black swan and brings out his wings (which wasn’t part of the original choreography) this particular choreography was done by brailizan dancer which Jimin helps the others since it’s more his element with assistance from Hobi & JK who can do it too. I also noticed Jin’s reflection didnt move within the mirrors when he turned around 👀 *The song is very sad even though it may not appear that way, it’s about a dancer who dies twice (not literally) but inside after they stop dancing but the first death is most painful* BTS most scariest fear is one day they’ll lose the passion for music and dance, making them die their first death. If you’ve seen the Black Swan movie with Natalie Portman which explains why they filmed and danced in a theatre #BlackSwan #BTS *FUN FACT: After watching Black Swan movie a couple times RM got inspired and decided to write a song about the sacrifice an artist makes when they stop performing which is the hardest thing to do the first time around.*

[@krsarmy15]

Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, you guys need to also watch the Black Swan live performance from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It was filmed during covid, so the guys aren't in studio, but it's SO GOOD! The set they built for it in Korea is gorgeous, you can see the full choreography, and their singing/rapping is still perfect, as expected. 💜

[@joaniewwh3502]

black swan is about the death and the struggle to resurrect passion. it's so beautiful. there's another mv for this in orchestra song arrangement and contemporary dancers interpreting it. it starts with "a dancer dies twice, and the first death is more painful." it means we all die the real death but the first death we might experience is losing our passion, and that's more painful. in this song, they speak particularly of the death of passion for music and the struggle to keep it alive. burn-out. it's so real and raw. bts is on a different level. really.

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Great reaction. Awesome you loved that but that's the tip of the iceberg, you guys will be shocked. All their albums are BANGERS! Plus their OST album for their game BTS WORLD. You won't be disappointed💜😁

[@MinSung931]

Jimin is amrys black swan as this song was made for him so he can show off his contemporary dance skills, This song was made for him and you can tell the passion he has for his dance just by watching this, what I mean by this is he gets to show of his contemporary dance skills and you can clearly see the passion hr has for his dance and his body movement is just so fluent and so beautiful. Jimin is and will always be my black swan that swooped down to save me. Also it's MV was a massive surprise from the boys as us armys weren't expecting it and the entire thing is beautiful and majestic like a swan

[@cindylepo6784]

And the meaning is awesome too. They sing about what would happen if they lost their passion for music....how scary it would be. It's one of my favs too. You should watch a live performance of this. BTS on Jimmy Fallon or James Corden.

[@shanicegrant8592]

You should watch the behind the scences for this because i have to say that Jimin did extremely well considering more that half of his prepartion for this mv didn't make it into the mv itself and you will get to see how truly awesome, hardworking and amazing he really is 💜💜💜😍😍😍😍😍😂😝😝

[@Alexis-jw7cm]

If you really liked this song I recommend My Time by Jungkook the youngest member of BTS, this is his solo song and it’s got a R&B feel to it, one of my favorites!

[@Elina_frst]

yes pls

[@armystacinator6732]

The dancer you loved so much was Jimin. He is a trained contemporary dancer. I love this song as well. It is definitely a vibe. I have missed you guys reacting to BTS. I hope the negative ARMYs haven't turned you off from reacting to BTS. Please know that true ARMY very much appreciate you taking the time to react to our boys and to keep learning about them. And we are more than happy to help you with questions or information. Thank you again and I can't wait to see what you do next 💜💜💜

Hope you continue diving into their discography: I promise there are no skips, including on Soundcloud and their solo work. I am 52, I loved plenty of artists in my life but none have been able to deliver surprises after surprises and keep me on my toes like these men do. Enjoy the rabbit hole!

[@annajung1503]

Waiting for BTS reactions all the time😌💜

[@chrispenjose6156]

Fun fact: Black Swan is used to describe unprecedented events where the impact is severely disastrous, like the World War 1 and 2, the Fall of the Soviet Union, Financial crisis in 2008 and more. In this track, Black Swan refers to the death of their passion towards what they do, towards music, and towards performing. Evident in their lyrics; "it will my first death, I've been always so afraid of". It's basically saying Life without passion is simply worthless. They've embodied the lyrics very well in the MV. The choreography even reflects the fear if ever their music doesn't make their "hearts vibrate". I mean, shoes were off and they went off! This whole song is a masterpiece, I'm glad you guys liked it 💜

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Yes, Black Swan is one of my favorite songs from BTS. RM Suga JHope Jin Jungkook V Jimin are very versityl. That's what I like about them. Each member is different, unique and equaly important.

[@suttinmore6519]

This is a very interesting phenomena for me, cause my brother had such a "violent reaction" to Black Swan as well in the sense that he is more of the type of person who would maybe listen to UGH or DDAENG, which I believe he might have heard once. HOWEVER, the second he heard Black Swan he had it on repeat and I was shook, cause I had it on for me to listen and he just happen to hear me listen to, it wasn't even intentional. Glad you loved it and looking forward to your next reactions 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@cyann410]

Nobody could have pulled this off like BTS !

[@mochiluvr6753]

Hey Chris. Contemporary but interpretive is a new way of looking at it. It was carefully choreographed, though, and there's a video of Jimin's day spent filming the solo dance. He's a perfectionist. I know it sounds like a bop, but BTS bops are rarely just bops. They can go pretty deep. This one is about an artist's fear of losing their passion and how that would be like dying. There's another behind the scenes video of the whole group that has some pretty funny moments. Everything they do is so cinematic and on point.
